Nanofibers and films of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/nylon 3 [poly(-alanine) (N3)], PHB/poly(-methyl--alanine) (2mN3), and PHB/poly(-methyl--alanine) (3mN3) blends were prepared by electrospinning and film-casting techniques, ...

Nylon3 (poly-beta-alanine) gamma irradiated in nitrogen was investigated by Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy to elucidate the type of radicals generated, their relative abundance, conversion into other radicalic species ...

Novel ABA-type block copolymers were prepared using end-groups activated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as an initiator for hydrogen transfer polymerization (HTP). For this purpose, PEG with average molar mass of 1450 Da ...

A series of poly(beta-alanine-b-lactone)s were prepared by combination of hydrogen-transfer polymerization (HTP) of acrylamide and anionic ring-opening polymerization (AROP) of beta-propiolactone, alpha-methyl propiolactone, ...

Terminally azide poly--alanine (PBA-Az) was directly obtained by hydrogen transfer polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of sodium azide as an initiator. However, terminally azide poly(-methyl -alanine) (PmBA-Az) ...

Oligomers of poly(3-hydroxypropionate) (P3HP) were synthesized via hydrogen transfer polymerization of acrylic acid. Olefinic end-group of the oligomers were modified through epoxidation and bromination to obtain activated ...

Synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate-g-alpha-methyl-ss-alanine) [poly(MMA-g-mBA)] copolymer was achieved through basecatalyzed hydrogen transfer polymerization (HTP) and free-radical polymerization (FRP), respectively. ...

Polyethylene glycol with average molar mass of 1,450 Da (PEG-1450) was treated with equivalent amount of sodium hydride to convert hydroxy groups to sodium alkoxide. Assuming the PEG oligomer with alkoxy end-groups as a ...
