Two critical control points were established to eliminate any risk of residual benzene reaching patients: (1) upstream control of benzene in solvents (≤10 ppm) and (2) IPC of residual solvents in polymer-stabilized SDDs.
The synthesis of a new conducting polymer via electrolysis of 2-vinylpyrrole is described. Characterization based on FTIR spectral analysis and electrical conductivity leads us to propose aromatic coupling of the pyrrole rings of adjacent poly(2-vinylpyrrole) chains to form cross-links. This polymer exhibits an electrical conductivity of ~10"6 S/cm. Radical polymerization of the same monomer leads to a linear product which reacts with iodine to give an iodinated, slightly conducting polymer (8 X 10*7 S/cm).
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.
