General description
Radical initiator
Application
- Polymer Chemistry: Analysis of polymer synthesis using AIBN under various conditions, with emphasis on thermal initiation properties (Suriyanarayanan & Nicholls, 2019).
- Influence of cyclodextrin on the UCST-and LCST-behavior of poly (2-methacrylamido-caprolactam)-co-(N, N-dimethylacrylamide): Explores the role of AIBN in copolymerization processes influencing polymer properties relevant to material science applications (Burkhart & Ritter, 2014).
- Preparation and characterization of polyaniline microcapsule loaded with 2, 2′‐azobis (2‐methylpropionitrile) initiator and its controlled release: Demonstrates innovative applications of AIBN in microencapsulation techniques, targeting enhanced performance in adhesive industries (Zhang et al., 2022).

Amphiphilic star shaped polymers with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) arms and cross-linked hydrophobic core were synthesized in water via either conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) or atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) techniques using a simple "arm-first" method. In FRP, PEO based

In the presence of a catalytic amount of radical initiator AIBN, primary amines are oxidatively coupled to imines and tertiary amines are cyanated to α-aminonitriles. These "metal-free" aerobic oxidative coupling reactions may find applications in a wide range of "green"

Highly efficient removal of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) such as 17beta-estradiol (E2), 4-nonylphenol (NP) and atrazine from water was achieved using a novel macroporous adsorption medium. The medium consisted of a macroporous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) cryogel with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)

A novel class of nonionic amphipols (NAPols) designed to handle membrane proteins in aqueous solutions has been synthesized, and its solution properties have been examined. These were synthesized through free radical cotelomerization of glucose-based hydrophilic and amphiphilic monomers derived from

Polymers containing maleimide groups on their side chains have been synthesized by utilization of a novel styrenic monomer containing a masked-maleimide unit. AIBN initiated free radical polymerization and reverse addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was utilized for synthesis of copolymers
