Immobilizing poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) on cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of butyl acrylate (BA) on the surface of 2-bromoisobutyryl-functionalized CMF generated highly hydrophobic microfibrils (CMF-PBA) with a hard core and a soft-shell structure. TGA and static

This work examined the effect of sodium carbonate (Na(2)CO(3)) on the topical delivery of methotrexate (MTX) from a loaded nanogel in vitro and the modulation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in skin ex vivo. A nanogel based on co-polymerised N-isopropylacrylamide
This article reports the preparation and evaluation of polymeric microspheres as a new class of oil-absorbent (POAMs). Based on our earlier oil-absorbents, the present microspheres contained β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) moieties as both cross-linking agent and porogen agent, and showed exciting high
Hybrid latexes based on cerium oxide nanoparticles are synthesized via an emulsifier-free process of emulsion polymerization employing amphiphatic macro-RAFT agents. Poly(butyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid) random oligomers of various compositions and chain lengths are first obtained by RAFT copolymerization in the presence
A novel dithioester control agent [dimethyltetrathioterephtalate (DMTTT)] is presented for the thioketone-mediated radical polymerization (TKMP) of n-butyl acrylate. The rate of polymerization is significantly decreased in the presence of DMTTT indicating formation of dormant radical species. During polymerization, molar masses
