General description

1,1,4,7,10,10-Hexamethyltriethylenetetramine is a polyamines additive, has been reported as an efficient reagent for the problematic Koenigs-Knorr glucuronidation.

Application

1,1,4,7,10,10-Hexamethyltriethylenetetramine may be used as reagent in the synthesis of ideal linear random copolymers containing both vinyl polymer and polyester units in a single polymer chain. 1,1,4,7,10,10-Hexamethyltriethylenetetramine complexed with CuBr constitutes catalytic complex, used in the copolymerization of poly[ε-caprolactone] with N,N-dimethylamino-2-ethyl methacrylate monomers by atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). It may be used as catalyst in the aqueous surface-initiated-ATRP to grow poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA).

Antibacterial polymers are potentially powerful biocides that can destroy bacteria on contact. Debate in the literature has surrounded the mechanism of action of polymeric biocides and the propensity for bacteria to develop resistance to them. There has been particular interest

All polymerization reactions are categorized into two large different families, chain- and step-growth polymerizations, which are typically incompatible. Here, we report the simultaneous chain- and step-growth polymerization via the metal-catalyzed radical copolymerization of conjugated vinyl monomers and designed monomers possessing

Almost all commercial proteins are purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation. Protein-polymer conjugates are synthesized from pure starting materials, and the struggle to separate conjugates from polymer, native protein, and from isomers has vexed scientists for decades. We have discovered that

We report the use of aqueous surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to grow polymer brushes from a "gigaporous" polymeric chromatography support for use as a novel size exclusion chromatography medium. Poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) was grown from hydrolyzable surface initiators via

A novel cationic polymer, poly[2-(tert-butylaminoethyl) methacrylate] (PTA), effectively kills various strains of bacteria with low toxicity to tissue cells. Graphene-based materials demonstrate exceptional electron transport capability, antibacterial activity, favorable nontoxicity, and versatile applicability. PTA can be grafted onto the graphene
