General description

Methylstyrene can be used as a monomer in the synthesis of block copolymers for resins and adhesives. It is widely used as a starting material to prepare latexes for paper coating applications.

Application



  • Applications in cancer therapy: Investigation into (−)-Epicatechin incorporated in phytopharmaceuticals for cancer treatment discusses its bioactive properties and synergistic effects when combined with other therapeutic agents, providing new avenues for integrative cancer therapies (Idoudi et al., 2024).

Polyimide HPLC-Chip devices containing poly(methylstyrene-bis-p-vinylphenyl)ethane (MS/BVPE) stationary phase within the device channels and with wall attachment were prepared by thermally initiated free radical polymerization. The microfluidic devices were coupled to both UV and MS detectors. The potential of the MS/BVPE

This paper presents a gaseous oxygen detection system based on time-resolved phosphorimetry (time-domain), which is used to investigate O2 optical transducers. The primary sensing elements were formed by incorporating iridium(III) and palladium(II) meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin complexes (IrTFPP-CO-Cl and PdTFPP) in polystyrene (PS)

The epoxidation of beta-methylstyrene catalyzed by the Shi fructose-derived ketone is studied using experimental kinetic isotope effects and DFT calculations. The observation of a large beta olefinic (13)C isotope effect and small alpha carbon isotope effect is indicative of an

The aggregation of monomers into polymers, whether by covalent or noncovalent interactions, is often reversible and frequently occurs with the entropy and enthalpy of the aggregation sharing the same sign. In such a case, the aggregation goes forward or reverses

The trans to cis isomerization of 4,4'-dimethylazobenzene by the nonchemical stimuli light and heat alters its guest binding properties, allowing control over encapsulation of a second guest. We show here how this remote control for reversible encapsulation can be used
