ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The deposition of platinum catalyst on cation-exchange membranes was achieved by a counter diffusion deposition method known as the Takenaka- Torikai method. The morphology of the platinum catalyst on ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Most polypropylene copolymers commercially available have ethylene, and to a lesser degree t-butene as comonomers. Commercially available higher a-olefins, mostly even-numbered, are seldom used for the ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The synthesis of structured nanoparticles, in particular core/shells, IS of great technological and economical importance to modem materials science. One of the advantages of structured particles is ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The kinetics of drying and film formation of different polymeric latices were studied. Various theoretical models predict a strong dependency of the film formation characteristics on the particle size ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to produce discrete, nano-shaped polymeric structures on the same length scale as, or one to one copies of, templates, deformable templates or structure-directing h ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Please refer to fulltext for abstract.

Due to numerous accidents involving munitions, recent interest has focused on the development and use of insensitive munitions (IM). Polymeric materials are used in insensitive munitions as binders or plasticizers. Most ...

The research presented in this dissertation was concerned with the living radical polymerization (LRP) of an amphiphilic, water-soluble, bi-substituted and biologically compatible acrylamide derivative, namely ...

Polysaccharides were modified with selected polymers via the grafting technique. Both anionic and cationic polysaccharides were prepared. Random and crosslinked graft copolymers were also prepared. The percentage grafting ...
