Simple one pot preparation of chemical hydrogels from cellulose dissolved in cold LiOH/urea [PDF]
In this work, non-derivatized cellulose pulp was dissolved in a cold alkali solution (LiOH/urea) and chemically cross-linked with methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) to form a robust hydrogel with superior water absorption properties.

Manganese and Iron Catalysts in Alkyd Paints and Coatings
Many paint, ink and coating formulations contain alkyd-based resins which cure via autoxidation mechanisms. Whilst cobalt-soaps have been used for many decades, there is a continuing and accelerating desire by paint companies to develop alternatives for ...

Polyimide (PI) films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD): Novel design, experiments and characterization [PDF]
Polyimide (PI) has been deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) under vacuum over the past 20 years. In the early nineties, studies, experiences and characterization were mostly studied as depositions from the co-evaporation of the dianhydride and ...

Sequential curing of amine-acrylate-methacrylate mixtures based on selective aza-Michael addition followed by radical photopolymerization [PDF]
Dual curing systems find various uses in industry with the process flexibility they provide which allows tailoring properties at different curing stages in accordance with application requirements. A safe and efficient dual curing scheme is proposed here

A green approach toward epoxy-benzoxazine copolymers with shape-memory ability
In the frame of green-based chemistry, advanced shape memory polymers are designed from benzoxazine (RSBOX) and epoxy (R-EP) resins basing on potential natural raw materials, such as resorcinol and stearylamine.

Mechanical performance of glass-based geopolymer matrix composites reinforced with cellulose fibers [PDF]
Glass-based geopolymers, incorporating fly ash and borosilicate glass, were processed in conditions of high alkalinity (NaOH 10-13 M). Different formulations (fly ash and borosilicate in mixtures of 70-30 wt% and 30-70 wt%, respectively) and physical ...

Fire Retardancy of Vinyl Ester Nanocomposites: Synergy with Phosphorus-Based Fire Retardants [PDF]
Vinyl ester (PVE) nanocomposites were prepared using both clay and polyhedral oligosilsesquioxanes (POSS) as the nano-dimensional material. From cone calorimetric data, it was shown that both POSS and clay affect the flammability of the nanocomposites to
