Kinetics of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene in hydrocarbon solvents
The process of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene in hydrocarbon solvents was examined by kinetic studies and quantum chemical calculations. Abstract The kinetics of anionic polymerization of β‐myrcene initiated by sec‐butyllithium were examined in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon solvents, i.e. cyclohexane, cyclohexene, 4‐vinylcyclohexene and dl‐

Chemical Composition of the Essential Oils of Cyperus rotundus L. from South Africa
The essential oils from the rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus L. collected from two different locations (Empangeni-A and KwaDlangezwa-B; both in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by capillary GC and ...

Effect of NOx level on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of terpenes [PDF]
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from the photooxidation of one monoterpene (α-pinene) and two sesquiterpenes (longifolene and aromadendrene) is investigated in the Caltech environmental chambers.

Olefin Polymerizations Oriented by Rational Designs of Group‐13 Compounds
In coordination olefin polymerization chemistry, boron and aluminum compounds play important roles in both catalyst components and monomers. This personal account introduces our recent progress on the development of catalyst systems featured by the design of group‐13 counteranions, as well as the application of boronic acid‐crosslinked polyolefins to ...
