High-molecular-weight (co) polymers of trimethylene carbonate and D, L-lactide are efficiently crosslinked using PETA during gamma irradiation. Form-stable networks with gel contents of 86 +/- 5 to 96 +/- 1 are obtained from non-crystalline (co) polymers. Glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli of the networks can be varied by adjusting the copolymer composition. The PETA-containing (co) polymer networks are not cytotoxic. Upon incubation in macrophage cultures for 14 d, all (co) polymer films and PETA-containing network films erode to varying extents, showing that these materials can be degraded by cell-mediated erosion processes. This method is very useful for the facile preparation of TMC- and DLLA-containing form-stable networks from high-molecular-weight polymers.

Synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry of tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2 '-bipyridine)tungsten(0) Edinc, Pelin; Oenal, Ahmet M.; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-15) 6-Ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (fcbpy) was prepared by the reaction of lithiated ferrocene with bipyridine and employed as a bidentate ligand for the formation of tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine)tungsten(0). The labile complex pentacarbonyl[eta(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne]tungsten(0) reacts with fcbpy in CH2Cl2 to yield the disubstitution product, W(CO)(4)(fcbpy), which was isolated as analytically pure substance and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, MS, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscop...
Crosslinked DADMAC polymers as cationic super absorbents Korpe, Sinan; Erdogan, Baris; Bayram, Göknur; Özgen, Serkan; Uludağ, Yusuf; Bicak, Niyazi (Elsevier BV, 2009-09-01) Loosely crosslinked cationic polyelectrolytes (polyquats) with super-water-sorption abilities are presented, for the first time. Hydrogels obtained by radically initiated copolymerization of N,N-diallyl, N,N-dimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) with N-vinyl 2-pyrrolidone (NVP) in presence of N,N,N',N'-tetraallyl piperazinium dichloride (TAP) as crosslinker showed reasonably high equilibrium swelling ratios, as high as those for poly(acrylic acid)-based super absorbents.

The properties of the immobilized enzyme were investigated and compared with those of the free enzyme. For the assays carried out at 25 degrees C and pH 6.9, the relative activities were...
