A triblock terpolymer, polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (SBM), formed a double-helical nanoscale structure, composed of polybutadiene (PB) helical microdomains around hexagonally packed polystyrene (PS) cores in a poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. The orientation of double-helical morphologies at various film thicknesses were studied using transmission electron mi...

th dentistry. Early 20 century sawintroduction of various newer materials like stainless steel, cobalt chromium alloys, acrylic resins(heat cure and self-cure) as DB materials.However, acrylic resin seems to be a material, which got more attention because it fulfils many of the desired properties like ease of processing, favourable working characteristics, accurate fit, stability in oral enviro...

This study reports the first attempt to employ a potassium–graphite intercalation compound (KC24) as an initiator for one-pot synthesis of multi-block copolymer. The results obtained show that KC24 successfully initiated copolymerization, leading copolymer consisting poly(styrene), poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(ethylene oxide) blocks. When all three comonomers were introduced simultaneousl...

We synthesized the novel methacrylate monomer bearing an oxazolidone structure (M1) and performed radical polymerization of M1 by traditional procedures. The glass transition temperature (Tg) obtained polymer (P1) was a significantly high value compared to that poly(methyl methacrylate) typical poly(urethane methacrylate)s. copolymers monofunctional urethane derived from 2-hydroxyethyl phenyl i...

We report the investigation of fundamental entropic chain effects that enable the tuning of modular ligation chemistry - for example dynamic Diels-Alder (DA) reactions in materials applications - not only classically via the chemistry of the applied reaction sites, but also via the physical and steric properties of the molecules that are being joined. Having a substantial impact on the reaction...

Starch-g-polyacrylonitrile (starch-g-PAN) copolymers were prepared by ceric ammonium nitrate initiation, and the major portion of the starch in these graft copolymers was then removed by acid hydrolysis to yield PAN with oligosaccharide end groups. Although these PAN-oligosaccharide samples reacted with methyl methacrylate in the presence of eerie ammonium nitrate, the resulting products were l...
