A series of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-ethylene dimethacrylate (EGDM) copolymers of varying compositions were synthesized by free-radically triggered thermal frontal polymerization (FP) as well as by suspension polymerization (SP) using azobisisobutyronitrile [AIBN] as initiator. The two sets of copolymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy and mercury intrusion porosimetry, for determination of epoxy number and specific surface area. Frontal polymerization was more efficient, yielding greater conversions at much shorter reaction times. The self-propagating frontal polymerization also generates microporous material with narrow pore size distribution. It yields higher internal pore volume and surface area than suspension polymerization, surface morphologies are, however, inferior.
Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Some Substituted 1,3,4-Thiadiazolo[3,2-a]-s-triazin-5-phenyl-7-thiones and Imidazo-[2,1-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazol-5-ones.-Compounds (III) and (V) are screened for antifungal activity against A. flavous and H. oxyzae. (III) and (V) are more effective against A. flavous as compared to H. oxyzae (no yields given). -(ANDOTRA, C. S.; LANGER, T. C.; KOTHA, A.; J. Indian Chem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
