	abstract = {<p>Hydrophobically modified poly(vinyl alcohol) (HMPVA) polymers were synthesized by potassium t-butoxide-catalyzed reaction of PVA with methyl 3,4,5-tris(n-octyloxy) benzoate (MGC(8))/3,4,5-tris(n-dodecyloxy) benzoate (MGC(12)) and 1,3-propane sultone. The concentration of 1,3-propane sultone was kept constant at 10 mol \%. and that of MGC(8) (2, 3, and 4 mol \%)/MGC(12) (2 and 3 mol \%) was varied to obtain HMPVAs with different hydrophobic contents. The incorporation of MGC(8)/MGC(12) and 1,3-propane sultone onto HMPVA was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Rheological properties of aqueous solutions also confirmed the presence of hydrophobic and charged functional groups on HMPVAs. In the semidilute regime, the specific viscosity of HMPVAs followed concentration scaling that is typical of polyelectrolytes. At higher concentrations, the HMPVA solutions with 3 and 4 mol \% of MGC(8) exhibited large increase in specific viscosity. Oscillatory experiments on these solutions exhibited gel-like behavior at polymer concentrations of 40-50 g/L. Confocal microscopy images of HMPVA with 4 mol \% of MGC(8) clearly indicated the existence of microgels. The tendency of formation of microgels further increased with increasing chain length of the hydrophobe, that is, with MGC(12). These samples exhibited rheological behavior that is typical of soft solids and was therefore probed by the strain-rate frequency superposition technique reported recently in the literature. HMPVAs with improved rheological properties show potential applications as thickeners in cosmetic creams, lotions and as drug carriers in pharmaceutical formulations. (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

	abstract = {A new ATRP initiator containing two furyl rings, namely, bis(furan-2-ylmethyl) 2-bromopentanedioate was synthesized starting from commercially available L-glutamic acid as a precursor. Well-defined bisfuryl-terminated poly(lauryl methacrylate) macromonomers with molecular weight and dispersity in the range 5000-12,000 g mol(-1) and 1.30-1.37, respectively, were synthesized employing the initiator by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Independently, 1,1{\textquoteright},1"(nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)) tris(1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione) was synthesized as a tris-maleimide counterpart for furan-maleimide click reaction. Thermo-reversible network polymer bearing flexible poly(lauryl methacrylate; (PLMA) chains was obtained by furan-maleimide Diels-Alder click reaction of bisfurylterminated PLMA with 1,1{\textquoteright},1"-(nitrilotris(ethane-2,1-diyl)) tris(1Hpyrrole-2,5-dione). The prepared network polymer showed retro-Diels-Alder reaction in the temperature range 110-170 degrees C as determined from DSC analysis. The presence of low Tg (-40 degrees C) PLMA chains induced chain mobility to the network structure which led to the complete scratch healing of the coating at 60 degrees C in five days due to furan-maleimide adduct formation. The storage modulus of the network polymer was found to be 3.7 x 10(4) Pa at the constant angular frequency of 5 rad/ sec and strain of 0.5\%. The regular reversal of storage (G0) and loss modulus (G") was observed with repeated heating (40 to 110 degrees C) and cooling cycles (110 to 40 degrees C) at constant angular frequency and strain.

	abstract = {<p>An easy and selective method has been developed for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of ruthenium(III) with 4-(4{\textquoteright}-flurobenzylideneimino)-3-methyl-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (FBIMMT) as a chelating reagent. The basis of the method is the formation of stable complex of {\textquoteleft}soft base{\textquoteright} FBIMMT with {\textquoteleft}soft acid{\textquoteright} ruthenium(M). The reagent FBIMMT in n-butanol easily forms extractable yellow coloured complex with ruthenium(III) in acetate buffer of pH 4.8. The absorbance of [Ru(III)-FBIMMT] complex is measured at 394 nm against the reagent blank. Good linearity range of concentration up to 27.0 mu g mL(-1) of ruthenium(III) is attained with correlation coefficient R-2 = 0.998. The optimum concentration range is 6 to 27.0 mu g mL(-1) which is deduced by Ringbom{\textquoteright}s plot. The apparent molar absorptivity found to be 2.75 x 10(3) L mol(-1) cm(-1). Some additional characteristics such as limit of detection (LOD = 0.48 mu g mL(-1)), limit of quantification (LOQ = 1.19 mu g mL(-1)), and Sandell{\textquoteright}s sensitivity (SS = of 0.0367 mu g cm(-2)) arc also estimated. The composition of [Ru (III)-FBIMMT1 complex has been established from Job{\textquoteright}s continuous variation method, mole ratio method, and log-log plot method. The specificity towards ruthenium(III) is well studied and appropriate masking agents are applied wherever required to boost it. The intra-day and inter-day precision values are found to be brilliant with \% relative standard deviation of 0.52 and 0.68 respectively with \% accuracy within the range of 99.00-100. The method is effectively used for determination of ruthenium(III) from water samples, binary and ternary synthetic mixtures, fissium alloy samples and catalyst materials. A scheme for sequential group separation of ruthenium(III), palladium(II) and osmium (VIII) has also been developed. The reproducible results of the present method confirm that the method has a good potential for quantitative determination of ruthenium(III) from various matrices. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
