Recent progress in antimicrobial dendrimers is reviewed. Both specific interactions and non-specific interactions can be utilized to design multifunctional (polyvalent) antimicrobial agents, which might be more potent than their mono-functional counterparts. Dendrimers or hyperbranched polymers can also be used to des…

A series of silicon-accumulating plants [different Equisetum (horse tail) species, Echium vulgare, and Symphytum officinale] were studied by solid-state 29 Si NMR experiments. For this purpose, selected parts of these plants were freeze-dried and then investigated by solid-state 29 Si VACP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. The 29…

Abstract Vinyl chloride polymerizations are known to be autoaccelerating. The reaction rate increases with conversion. Because of this phenomenon, substantial reactor productivity at early conversion can be lost because the heat‐removal capacity of the reactor is not fully utilized until near the end of the polymeriza…

It is well known that the electrical properties of polymers are significantly influenced by the morphology. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a semicrystalline polymer with crystalline and amorphous regions. HDPE specimens with different crystallinities have been prepared by varying the annealing conditions. Based o…

Polymeric actuator and sensor materials suffer from a low thermal and temporal stability. We report on an attempt to slow down the underlying structural relaxation in polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) films by irradiation with electrons of 1.5 MeV. This treatment yielded a dose-dependent crosslinking of the macromolecular…

Abstract Flavylium salts exhibited a reversible thermochromism in an agar-gel matrix. Thus, by the temperature change from −3 to 50 °C, the absorption band around 600 nm of 7-diethylamino-4′-dimethylaminoflavylium perchlorate increased by a factor of ca. 1.5, while the band around 520 nm substantially decreased. Upon…

Abstract The influences of doping the core of TiO 2 pigments with Al 2 O 3 and of various inorganic surface modifications on the rate of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) weathering are investigated. The kinetics of loss of gloss are transformed into photooxidation rates by using Weibull statistics of failure, and a scheme o…

Aggregation of methylcellulose in aqueous dilute solution is studied by light and small angle neutron scattering. For temperature T<293.15K, the free chains adopt a swollen conformation. For T>313.15K, a slow aggregation kinetics occurs. At qR g <1, the association number is found to vary as R g 3 . However a…

The phase equilibria of the La 2 O 3 –SrO–CaO–Mn 3 O 4 system in air at 1200°C has been studied. Under these conditions, eight univariant four‐phase equilbria were observed. Quaternary phases, as well as liquid phases, were not observed. Perovskite‐structure phases LaMnO 3 , SrMnO 3 , and CaMnO 3 did not form complete…

Several methodologies to produce α-terpinyl chloride from “hydrochlorination” of limonene were studied and the best results were obtained by reaction with 0.5 mol equiv. SOCl2 in SiO2 / CH2Cl2. Using this methodology (R)- and (S)-α-terpinyl chloride can easily be prepared in good yields from (R)- and (S)-limonene, res…
