CHIRAL LIQUID CRYSTALLINE SIDE-CHAIN POLYMERS: EFFECTS OF SIDE-CHAIN LENGTH ON PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Ferroelectrics, 1996Abstract The synthesis of a series of side-chain liquid crystalline siloxane copolymers is reported, and comparative studies of physical properties of members with different side-chain length have been attempted. Measurements of ferroelectricity and relaxation times aimed at studying structure-property relationships for the longer side-chain members ...

Alkylfurans: Effects of Alkyl Side-Chain Length on Insecticidal Activity
Journal of Natural Products, 1998The insecticidal activity of five alkylfurans against the generalist insect herbivore beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, was examined. Two naturally occurring compounds, the avocadofurans 2-(pentadecyl)furan (1) and 2-(heptadecyl)furan (2), previously isolated from specialized avocado idioblast oil cells, and three homologues, 2-(tetradecyl)furan (3), 2-

Conformation of Cylindrical Brushes in Solution: Effect of Side Chain Length
Macromolecules, 2006The conformation of cylindrical brush polymers with a polymethacrylate main and polystyrene side chains (6 ≤ ≤ 33, with the number-average degree of polymerization of the side chains) were studied by combined light and small-angle neutron scattering experiments. The results reveal that the main chain stiffness expressed in terms of the Kuhn statistical

Molecular Bottlebrushes with Bimodal Length Distribution of Side Chains
Macromolecules, 2015The structural details of bottlebrush polymers, specifically the grafting density and molecular weight distribution of side chains, influence their physical properties; however, they are difficult to analyze using conventional techniques. Herein we report the synthesis, characterization, and molecular imaging of bottlebrush macromolecules with both ...

Phosphatidylcholine liposomes containing cholesterol analogues with side chains of various lengths
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1980The effect of the length of the side chain of sterols on their interaction with phosphatidylcholine was studied by measuring the permeability properties of liposomes constituted with sterol analogues with side chains of various lengths. The sensitivities of liposomes constituted with these sterol analogues toward digitonin and polyene antibiotics were ...

Molecular Orientation of Hairy-Rod Polyesters: Effects of Side Chain Length
Macromolecules, 1998Polarized laser Raman microscopy was employed in order to investigate the effects of side chain length on the orientability of uniaxially drawn films of a model hairy-rod polymer, as a function of draw ratio; an aromatic polyester containing terphenyl units in the main chain and aliphatic side chains (hexyl and dodecyl units) was used in the ...

Influence of side-chain length on phospholipid ordering in two dimensions
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1998Abstract Phosphoethanolamines (PE) with a 2-branched hexadecanoyl chain (ethyl, butyl and tetradecyl) at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone and an unbranched hexadecyl residue at the sn-2 position have been synthesised. They form stable monolayers at the air/water interface.

Influence of side chain lengths in mechanophore‐containing polyisobutylene‐graft‐polystyrene
Journal of Polymer Science, 2023AbstractPolymer architecture plays an important role in morphology and mechanochemical response. Here, graft copolymers containing mechanophores at the backbone‐arm junction are synthesized through a combination of post‐polymerization modification of butyl rubber and controlled radical polymerization.

Role of Oligoethylene Glycol Side Chain Length in Responsive Polymeric Nanoassemblies
Langmuir, 2019An oft-desired feature of a responsive nanomaterial is that it should undergo disassembly or morphological change upon application of a specific stimulus. The extent of response has been found to depend on factors such as the nature and the number of responsive functionalities incorporated into these particles. In this work, the length of oligoethylene
