The monomer and polymer of the compound 3-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-7,7,9,9-tetramethyl-1,3,8-triaza spiro[4.5]decane-2,4-dione have been prepared and bonded to the surfaces of silica gel particles and cellulose, and the monomer has been copolymerized with a polyurethane formulation. Treatment of these polymers with dilute sodium hypochlorite solutions renders them antimicrobial. The oxidative chlorine immobilized on the materials is stable for extended periods and can be regenerated upon eventual loss by further exposure to dilute chlorine bleaching solutions. Data are presented showing that the treated materials are biocidal against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli O157:H7. The new siloxane is superior to previous N-halamine siloxane technology in that the N-halamine moiety contains two nitrogen binding sites for chlorine, one of which is a very stable hindered amine site.

A NEW DIFUNCTIONAL ANIONIC INITIATOR SOLUBLE IN NONPOLAR-SOLVENTS
NUGAY, T; KUCUKYAVUZ, S (Wiley, 1992-01-01)
The reaction between 1,5-diethenylnaphthalene and sec-butyllithium produces a new difunctional organolithium initiator which is soluble in non-polar solvents and effective in the synthesis of styrene-isoprene-styrene triblock copolymer. Monomodal molecular weight distributions are observed for block copolymers and styrene homopolymers. The microstructure of polyisoprene blocks is similar to those polymers initiated by butyllithium in the same solvent.
Characterization and Electrical Conductivity of Poly(ethylene glycol)/Polyacrylonitrile/Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Composites
Aqeel, Salem M.; Kucukyavuz, Zuhal (Wiley, 2011-01-05)
Polymer blends based on poly(ethylene glycol), polyacrylonitrile, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared by the solvent cast technique from the dispersion of the MWNTs in the concentration range 0-3.45 wt %. The interaction of the MWNTs with the polymer blend was confirmed by a Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy study. The thermal properties of the polymer blend with the MWNTs were carried out by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was evident from DSC that the p...
Hydrologel from template polymerization of methacrylic acid and n-vinylpyrollidone and polyethleneoxide
Erdem, Yelda; Tinçer, Teoman; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2005)
This theses covers the preparation and the characterization of a rigid hydrogel from N-Vinyl pyrrolidone-methacrylic acid (VP-MAA) monomers and polyethyleneoxide (PEO) polymer. Hydrogels are hydrophillic natured three dimensional networks which can swell in the presence of water. The VP-MAA-PEO hydrogel was obtained by template polymerization which can be defined as a method of polymer synthesis in which specific interactions consists of the preparation of a polymer (daughter polymer) in the presence of a m...
Preparation of porous Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2) and beta-Ca-3(PO4)(2) bioceramics
Engin, NO; Tas, AC (2000-07-01)
Submicrometer-sized, pure calcium hydroxyapatite (HA, (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2))) and eta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP, Ca-3(PO4)(2)) bioceramic powders, that have been synthesized via chemical precipitation techniques, were used in the preparation of aqueous slurries that contained methyl cellulose to manufacture porous (70%-95% porosity) HA or beta-TCP ceramics. The pore sizes in HA bioceramics of this study were 200-400 mu m, whereas those of beta-TCP bioceramics were 100-300 mu m. The pore morphology and ...
An integrated process for partial oxidation of alkanes
Zhou, XP; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Yilmaz, GA; Lorkovic, YM; Laverman, LE; Weiss, M; Sherman, JH; McFarland, EW; Stucky, GD; Ford, PC (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2003-09-21)
The partial oxidation of alkanes via bromination followed by the reaction with solid metal oxide mixtures (MO) is shown to give an array of products that can be tuned by varying the MO and the reaction conditions.
