The results show that the introduction of a siliyl group in the para-position of the imine moiety turns the catalyst less sensitive toward polar functionalities. However, the reactivity observed in copolymerization reactions was found to be reduced both the global polymerization and incorporation rates. Molecular modeling calculation allowed us to understand both the preferred insertion mode and the intermediate product structures for E/MMA copolymerization. Photodegradation studies showed that the presence of polar groups in the copolymers increases their rate of oxidation and turn them more easily degradable. The stabilization performed by Tinuvin 770 showed that for long-exposure times, it is not very effective regardless it is only mixed or grafted to the copolymer.

Therefore, the removal of metal is of primary importance. In this study, metals were selectively extracted from water. Selective metal recovery was studied with a crown-ether-based polymer, wherein the selectivity was observed for strontium over lead. Parameters influencing the metal recovery, such as the contact time, adsorbent dosage, and metal-ion concentration, were evaluated. Interestingly, the adsorption rate of strontium was exponentially increased for the initial 4 h, and lead was adsorbed exponentially after 6 h. Notably, 98% strontium adsorption and 64% lead adsorption were obtained in 24 h. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm was in good agreement and demonstrated that the reactive sites of the adsorbent were homogeneous with monolayer metal adsorption with an adsorbent. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm was not obeyed by both metals. The pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetics indicated that strontium was adsorbed by chemisorption and lead was adsorbed by physisorption. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The polymers were characterized by H-1-NMR and C-13-NMR to determine their chemical composition, molecular structure, degree of randomness, and proof of block copolymer formation. Gel permeation chromatography was used to establish the degree of branching. Star-branched random copolymers exhibited lower glass-transition temperatures (T-g's) compared to a linear random copolymer. When the star random copolymers were melt-blended with poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA), we observed that the elongation of the blend increased with the number of arms of the copolymer. Six-armed block copolymers, which exhibited higher T-g's, caused the maximum improvement in elongation. In all cases, improvements in the elongation were achieved with no loss of stiffness in the PLA blends. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

In this work, cationic flocculants based on copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and 3-acrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride (APTMAC) were synthesized with two different mole ratios of monomers, 80 mol % of AM (CP-8020) and 40 mol % of AM (CP-4060). The chemical structures of copolymers were confirmed by H-1 and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (C-13 NMR) spectroscopy. The molecular weight (MW) and zeta potential of the copolymers were determined. High MW was obtained for copolymer with high content of AM (CP-8020) and high zeta potential was observed for copolymer with high content of APTMAC (CP-4060). Flocculation of kaolin suspension was performed using both CP-8020 and CP-4060 and the flocculation was correlated to the zeta potential and MW of the copolymers. The optimum dosages of flocculants were determined. The mechanism of flocculation was discussed in terms of charge neutralization and bridging. The flocs of kaolin were characterized in terms of moisture content and size. To the best of our knowledge, this copolymer system was used for the first time for kaolin flocculation and found out to be efficient. (c) 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

	The viscometric behavior of aqueous solutions of acrylamide and acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride copolymers (AM-co-APTMAC) with varying cationic content under different salinity conditions was studied. Viscometric measurements were employed to determine intrinsic viscosity and quantify the influence of electrostatic interactions on chain conformation. Rheology experiments were performed to probe dynamic flow behavior under shear to obtain insights into polyelectrolyte viscoelastic properties under conditions mimicking industrial processes. Viscometric and rheology data analysis is augmented with insights from NMR relaxation and pulsed field gradient NMR diffusion experiments. Further, flocculation of kaolin suspensions was studied using aqueous solutions of AM-co-APTMAC copolymers with different charge fractions in the presence and absence of salt. The physicochemical insights on the behavior of AM-co-APTMAC polyelectrolytes in solution from this study could be relevant in practical applications, such as plants that use seawater or in cases where the ionic strength of suspensions is high due to salinity in the medium.&lt;/p&gt;

	Loading of multiple drugs in a nanocarrier with high entrapment efficiency is important for combination therapy in cancer treatment. Here, a block copolymer comprising hydrophobic poly(epsilon-caprolactone) block with a defined number of pendent propargyl groups, polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether as a hydrophilic block, and a redox-responsive disulfide group at the block junction is synthesized using click chemistry and ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Benzaldehyde and thymine groups are introduced in the side chains for selective attachment of anti-cancer drugs, doxorubicin (DOX) and methotrexate (MTX), via the formation of pH-responsive imine linkage and hydrogen bonds, respectively. The drug-conjugated block copolymers are assembled into spherical micelles of &amp;lt; 200 nm, and the preferential release of DOX and MTX in response to acidic pH and redox conditions is shown. At pH 5, DOX release was 59.5%, and MTX release was 40% compared to 13% and 12% at pH 7.4, whereas at pH 5 with 10 mM GSH, a DOX release of 81.5% was observed after 48 h. Cellular uptake of drug-conjugated micelles and their apoptosis compared to free DOX in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells is demonstrated. Caveolae-mediated endocytosis was found to be the major pathway used by drug-loaded nanocarriers.&lt;/p&gt;
