Crosslinked poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate) [poly(HEMA)] beads were prepared by the suspension copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate monomer with ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) in aqueous media which contained only magnesium oxide (MgO) as a suspension stabilizer and also salting-out agent. The procedure gives spherical particles with narrow size distribution. The reaction mechanism, composition and structure of poly(HEMA) beads were studied by solid-state C-13 CP/MAS NMR, FTIR, ESCA, and elemental analysis. C-13 NMR implies the existence of unreacted pendant groups in the HEMA-EGDMA copolymer. The surface composition obtained by ESCA is almost the same as the bulk composition determined by elemental analysis. FTIR spectra provide compelling evidence for the presence of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. The glass-transition temperature and the thermal stability of beads were determined by DSC.

NUGAY, N; HOSOTTE, C; NUGAY, T; RIESS, G (Elsevier BV, 1994-10-01)
Poly(methylmethacrylate)-poly(4-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymers were synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization. 1,1-diphenyl-3-methylpentyllithium was used as initiator and LiCl was added to the system as ligand to modify both initiator and active chain end in order to avoid side reactions. The products were characterized by H-1-NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography and differential scanning calorimetry. The block copolymers show narrow molecular weight distribution and microphase separat...
gamma-irradiated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) particle-filled low-density polyethylene. I. Effect of silane coupling agents on mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties
Akinay, AE; Tincer, T (Wiley, 1999-10-24)
Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) scraps were recovered as a filler material for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) after they were degraded by Co-60 gamma-rays under atmospheric conditions to make small-size powder. The powder PTFE, which was called secondary PTFE (2 degrees-PTFE), was melt mixed with LDPE and then extruded to obtain 200 mu m films. The mechanical and thermal properties and also the morphology of the fractured surface of these 2 degrees-PTFE-filled LDPE were studied. It was found that the addi...
Electrochemical polymerization of trihaloalkane monomers to form branched c-backbone polymers
Nur, Yusuf; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2011)
Polycarbynes ( poly(hydridocarbyne), poly(methylcarbyne) and poly(phenylcarbyne) ) are a class of network polymers which are primarily composed of tetrahedrally hybridizated carbon atoms which have hydrogen, methyl or phenyl pendant group linked via three carbon-carbon single bonds to form a three dimensional network of fixed rings. This backbone o ers unusual properties on the polymer including thermal decomposition to form diamond and diamondlike carbon. In this thesis, polycarbynes were synthesized by el...
Bioapplications of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers in nanomedicine
Pourianazar, Negar Taghavi; Mutlu, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-03-13)
Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers are a novel class of spherical, well-designed branching polymers with interior cavities and abundant terminal groups on the surface which can form stable complexes with drugs, plasmid DNA, oligonucleotides, and antibodies. AmineaEuroterminated PAMAM dendrimers are able to solubilize different families of hydrophobic drugs, but the cationic charges on dendrimer surface may disturb the cell membrane. Therefore, surface modification by PEGylation, acetylation, glycosylation,...
POLYMERIZATION OF BIS(TRICHLOROPHENOXO) ETHYLENEDIAMINE COPPER (II) COMPLEX BY ELECTRO-OXIDATION
Yiğit, S.; Kısakürek, D.; Türker, L; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Akbulut, Ural (Elsevier BV, 1989-02-01)
Electroinitiated polymerization of bis(trichlorophenoxo) ethylenediamine copper (II) complex was carried out in dimethyl-formamide at various anodic peak potentials of the complex. The oxidation and reduction peak potentials were determined by cyclic voltammetry. These potentials were measured in tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate-dimethylformamide supporting electrolyte-solvent couple at room temperature. Polymerization reactions were carried out under air and nitrogen atmospheres using a constant potential a...
