Synthesis of Poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone-co-methyl methacrylate) by Maghnite-H+ a Non-toxic Catalyst
In the present work poly (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone-co-methyl methacrylate) copolymers were prepared successfully and cleanly by a one step process via cationic copolymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) with methyl methacrylate (MMA), in heterogeneous ...

Combined Description of Pressure-Volume-Temperature and Dielectric Relaxation of Several Polymeric and Low-Molecular-Weight Organic Glass-Formers using 'SL-TS2' Mean-Field Approach [PDF]
We apply our recently-developed mean-field 'SL-TS2' (two-state Sanchez-Lacombe) model to simultaneously describe dielectric alpha-relaxation time and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data in four polymers (polystyrene, poly(methylmethacrylate), poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(cyclohexane methyl acrylate)) and four organic molecular glass formers (ortho ...

Friction as a probe of surface properties of a polymer glass [PDF]
We probe the temperature dependence of friction at the interface between a glassy poly(methylmethacrylate) lens and a flat substrate coated with a methyl-terminated self-assembled monolayer. The monolayer exhibits density defects which act as pinning sites for the polymer chains.

Small scale lateral superlattices in two-dimensional electron gases prepared by diblock copolymer masks [PDF]
A poly(styrene-block-methylmethacrylate) diblock copolymer in the hexagonal cylindrical phase has been used as a mask for preparing a periodic gate on top of a Ga[Al]As-heterostructure. A superlattice period of 43 nm could be imposed onto the two-dimensional electron gas.

Influence of the way of synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate) in the presence of surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles on the properties of obtained nanocomposites [PDF]
Incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles can significantly affect the properties of the polymer matrix. The properties of polymer nanocomposites depend on the type of incorporated nanoparticles, their size and shape, their concentration, and ...

Trimethylaluminum Diffusion in PMMA Thin Films during Sequential Infiltration Synthesis: In Situ Dynamic Spectroscopic Ellipsometric Investigation [PDF]
Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) provides a successful route to grow inorganic materials into polymeric films by penetrating of gaseous precursors into the polymer, both in order to enhance the functional properties of the polymer creating an organic-inorganic hybrid material, and to fabricate inorganic nanostructures when infiltrating in ...

Non-linear double-peeling: experimental vs. theoretical predictions [PDF]
The double peeling of detachment of non-linear adhesive tapes from a flat Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) surface has been investigated from both experimental and theoretical point of view. Double peeling tests show that, as the detachment process advances, the peeling angle stabilizes on a limiting value {\theta}lim corresponding to a critical pull ...
