The free-radical retrograde-precipitation polymerization (FRRPP) process was discovered by the G. Caneba at Michigan Tech in the 1990s as a chain polymerization method, whereby phase separation is ...

From the resin classes the epoxy acrylates are the biggest on the market, prepared by the reaction of epoxides, e.g., Bisphenol-A diglycidylether, with acrylic acid (Figure 4.3). These Bisphenol-A ...

Acrylic acid-based polymers have replaced conventionally used materials in major end-use industries, such as automotive, ...

"Gels, acrylic, and even powder 'dip' nails are all based on acrylic polymers, and the polymerization is part of the ...

Abraham Joy, a professor of bioengineering at Northeastern University, who was not involved in the work, called it a “creative spin” on controlling lipoic acid polymerization. He also praised ...

Whinfield and Dickson found that a condensation reaction between the organic acid terephthalic acid ... which needs to be removed for the polymerization reaction to continue.

PMMA resins are the result of the polymerization of acrylic acid derivatives or other acrylate compounds such as esters of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, and their copolymers. Acrylic ...

A recent article published in the Polymer Journal presented research on enhancing the mechanical properties of gel ...

Bubbles of CO 2 rise from volcanic vents on the seafloor and dissolve to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is relatively weak; people drink it all the time in carbonated beverages. But if enough ...

Amino acid molecules are made of four main elements. You may remember them from science class: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. These elements form the same amino acid structure.

Chemically, an amino acid is a molecule that has a carboxylic acid group and an amine group that are each attached to a carbon atom called the α carbon. Each of the 20 amino acids has a specific ...
