Numerical Integration of Weight Loss Curves for Kinetic Analysis

open access: yesThermo, 2021
Research abounds in the literature on kinetic analyses using thermogravimetric (TG) runs. Many of these studies use approximations of integral or derivative forms of the kinetic law and all of them use programmed temperatures.

FRET Measurement of Polymer Response under Shear

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Polymer solutions under shear flow are often observed in manufacturing processes. Classically, polymer behavior is represented by Kuhn’s bead-spring model, in which only the elongation of polymer chains is assumed.

Glass transition and alpha-relaxation dynamics of thin films of labeled polystyrene

open access: yes, 2008
The glass transition temperature and relaxation dynamics of the segmental motions of thin films of polystyrene labeled with a dye, 4-[N-ethyl-N-(hydroxyethyl)]amino-4-nitraozobenzene (Disperse Red 1, DR1) are investigated using dielectric measurements ...

Toxicity and Functional Tissue Responses of Two Freshwater Fish after Exposure to Polystyrene Microplastics

open access: yesToxics, 2021
Microplastics (MPs)’ ingestion has been demonstrated in several aquatic organisms. This process may facilitate the hydrophobic waterborne pollutants or chemical additives transfer to biota.

A Self-Assembled Microlensing Rotational Probe [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
A technique to measure microscopic rotational motion is presented. When a small fluorescent polystyrene microsphere is attached to a larger polystyrene microsphere, the larger sphere acts as a lens for the smaller microsphere and provides an optical ...

Variable Fitness Response of Two Rotifer Species Exposed to Microplastics Particles: The Role of Food Quantity and Quality

open access: yesToxics, 2021
Plastic pollution is an increasing environmental problem, but a comprehensive understanding of its effect in the environment is still missing. The wide variety of size, shape, and polymer composition of plastics impedes an adequate risk assessment.

Crown Ether-Modified Clays and their Polystyrene Nanocomposites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Crown ether-modified clays were obtained by the combination of sodium and potassium clays with crown ethers and cryptands. Polystyrene nanocomposites were prepared by bulk polymerization in the presence of these clays.

Role of Acetone in the Formation of Highly Dispersed Cationic Polystyrene Nanoparticles

open access: yesChemical and Process Engineering, 2017
A modified emulsion polymerisation synthesis route for preparing highly dispersed cationic polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles is reported. The combined use of 2,2′-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin- 2-yl)propane] di-hydrochloride (VA-044) as the initiator and acetone ...

Preparation of Functional Long‐Subchain Hyperbranched Polystyrenes via Post‐polymerization Modification: Study on the Critical Role of Chemical Stability of Branching Linkage

open access: yesChemistryOpen, 2020
Post‐polymerization modification (PPM) is one of the most powerful strategy for preparing polymers with functional groups that cannot be synthesized by direct polymerization.
