Synchrotron-based Fourier transform infrared micro-spectroscopy (SR-μFTIR) was used to map photo-oxidative degradation of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and to investigate the presence and the migration of additives in historical samples from important Italian design objects. High resolution (3×3 μm(2)) molecular maps were

New bis(phenolate)amine-supported neodymium borohydride complexes and their previously reported samarium analogues were tested as catalysts for the polymerisation of styrene and isoprene. Reaction of Na2O2N(L) (L = py, OMe, NMe2) with Nd(BH4)3(THF)3 afforded the borohydride complexes Nd(O2N(L))(BH4)(THF) (L = py

Large quantities of the potentially toxic compound styrene are produced and used annually by the petrochemical and polymer-processing industries. It is as a direct consequence of this that significant volumes of styrene are released into the environment in both the
James J Collins et al.
Epidemiology (Cambridge, Mass.), 24(2), 195-203 (2013-01-25)
Epidemiologic studies have reported increased risk of lymphohematopoietic cancers, lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer after exposure to styrene, although findings across studies are not consistent. We update a large study of reinforced plastic industry workers with relatively high exposures to
