Dual antibacterial effect of immobilized quaternary ammonium and aliphatic groups on PVC [PDF]
A coating comprising quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) and aliphatic moieties was formed on the poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) surface in order to confer antibacterial activity. This was achieved by grafting mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane onto PVC, followed by

Anti-fungal and anti-termite activity of extractives compounds from thermally modified ash woods
Thermal modification of wood is a promising alternative to chemical and biocidal modification processes, increasing the biological durability and dimensional stability of wood. However, the wood-decay resistance properties of heat-treated wood are still

The UV/H2O2 - photodegradation of poly(ethyleneglycol) and model compounds [PDF]
The general mechanism for the photodegradation of polyethyleneglycol (PEG) by H2O2/UV was determined studying the photooxidation of small model molecules, like low molecular weight ethyleneglycols (tetra-, tri-, di-, and ethyleneglycol).
