Effect of Oxygen and Initiator Solubility on Admicellar Polymerization of Styrene on Silica Surfaces
Although admicellar polymerization has been termed the surface analog of emulsion polymerization, previous reports utilizing free radical-initiated admicellar polymerization relied on high levels of the free radical initiator when compared to emulsion ...

Rapidly self-deoxygenating controlled radical polymerization in water via in situ disproportionation of Cu(i) [PDF]
Rapidly self-deoxygenating Cu-RDRP in aqueous media is investigated. The disproportionation of Cu(I)/Me6Tren in water towards Cu(II) and highly reactive Cu(0) leads to O2-free reaction environments within the first seconds of the reaction, even when the ...

Spark discharge-initiated radical polymerization
A new spark discharge initiated radical polymerization (SDRP) was developed. Monomer radicals were generated by spark discharge emitted from a Tesla coil as a resonant transformer generating high frequency and high voltage, and the monomer itself acted ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Copper(0)-mediated radical polymerisation in a self-generating biphasic system [PDF]
Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of well-defined poly(n-alkyl acrylate)s via copper(0)-mediated radical polymerisation in a self-generating biphasic system. During the polymerisation of n-butyl acrylate in DMSO, the polymer phase separates to yield a

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
