Synthesis and characterization of branched multiblock copolymers of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) autoxidized fatty acid and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe branched multiblock copolymer based on fatty acid, methyl methacrylate and PHB was first time synthesized. Autoxidation is the reaction of unsaturated fatty acids with air oxygen leading to macroperoxide initiators. Poly (3-hydroxy butyrate), PHB, is

Physicochemical Characterization of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone: A Tale of Two Polyvinyl Pyrrolidones [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2020 Of several samples of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) used to coat and stabilize freshly manufactured aqueous dispersions of silver nanoparticles, one batch gave anomalous results: the dispersion maintained continued stability, even on extensive dilution. Our efforts to understand this desirable feature concluded that the generally used spectral method of ...

Journal of Polymer and Biopolymer Physics Chemistry, 2021 Polyvinyl alkyl esters (PVAe) are a family of macromolecules in which the ester side chains (pendant groups) increase in molar mass and hydrophobicity and decrease in structural polarity as the number of carbons in the pendant group increases. These PVAe are commonly used in adhesives, industrial coatings, plasticizers, textile finishes, chewing gum ...

Hydrogels: Properties and Applications in Biomedicine
Molecules, 2022 Hydrogels are crosslinked polymer chains with three-dimensional (3D) network structures, which can absorb relatively large amounts of fluid. Because of the high water content, soft structure, and porosity of hydrogels, they closely resemble living ...

Plastic waste and its management strategies for environmental sustainability
Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2021 The massive consumption of a wide range plastic products has generated a huge amount of plastic waste. There is a need to provide awareness of their uses and routine management as a part of our lifestyle. Nowadays, plastics are increasingly being used in

Microplastics affect sedimentary microbial communities and nitrogen cycling
Nature Communications, 2020 Microplastics are ubiquitous in estuarine, coastal, and deep sea sediments. The impacts of microplastics on sedimentary microbial ecosystems and biogeochemical carbon and nitrogen cycles, however, have not been well reported. To evaluate if microplastics
