Abstract Porous poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) monoliths have been prepared by UV‐initiated polymerization of PEGDA oligomer ( M n = 700 g/mol). In the mean time, the addition of hydrophobic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO, M n = 725 g/mol) as porogen into an ethanol solution of PEGDA oligomer to form a homogenou…

Plasticizers are usually added to polymers to give them the desired flexibility and processability by changing the dynamical properties of the polymer chains. It is therefore important to give a quantitative description about how the dynamic behavior of a given polymer is modified by the incorporation of a second comp…

To examine the porous structure of ordered silica with cagelike pores, we measured successive adsorption of water at 283 K and nitrogen at 77 K on four kinds of SBA-16 and four kinds of KIT-5. For materials with smaller necks, we found the amount of nitrogen condensed inside the large cavities decreased rapidly with a…

Nanotubes wrapped up: In nanotube–DNA hybrid structures (see figure), defects on the sidewall of carbon nanotubes effects the dispersibility. DNA is helically wrapped around the nanotubes in an irregular pattern and structural defects on the sidewall of the nanotubes provide additional sites for binding with DNA.
