Poly(lactic acid)-based biocomposites were developed with hemp hurd (Cannabis sativa L.) with grafting-based interfacial compatibilization. Poly(lactic acid) was extruded with hemp hurd and glycidyl methacrylate as the polymer/hurd interfacial compatibilizer, and injection molded. Interfacial co...

One dimensional plasmonic grating is a kind of resonant electromagnetic wave absorber with a characteristic wavelength. This study focusses on one-dimensional plasmonic grating consisting of poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) brushes and CdS quantum dots (CdQDs) fabrication and PGMA chains graf...

Electro-responsive smart poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA)/graphene oxide (GO) composite particles were synthesized using Pickering emulsion polymerization, in which the GO sheets simultaneously performed two roles, as a shell in a core-shell structure and a solid Pickering emulsifier. While th...

Commonly used crosslinking methods for polyethylenes result in the release of harmful by-products. Here, we demonstrate that an epoxy-bearing polyethylene copolymer, which contains 8 wt% glycidyl methacrylate, can be efficiently crosslinked without by-product formation. Click chemistry based on ...

The super toughed poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) blends with various content of Ethylene/butyl methacrylate/Glycidyl Methacrylate Terpolymer (GEBMA) were prepared by melt compounding. The blend was an immiscible system but had good compatibility due to the chemical reaction between the epoxy groups ...

This paper describes the development of highly flexible and simple approaches toward fabrication of syndiotactic polypropylene (s-PP) nanofibers of desired morphology and functionalization with modifiable poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) of desired level. To this end, the nanofibers were fabr...

A range of well-defined hydrophobic hydroxy-functional methacrylate-based gels has been synthesized by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization of the monomers Hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) and Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Particularly, the effect of the hydrophobic functional groups of th...

Nanocomposites composed of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) and bacterial cellulose (BC) were prepared by the in-situ free radical polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) inside the BC network. The resulting nanocomposites were characterized in terms of structure, morphology, water-uptak...

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polypropylene (PP) blends of various proportions were prepared by melt-compounding. The miscibility, phase morphology, thermal behavior, and mechanical and rheological properties of the blends were investigated. The blends were immiscible systems with two typical morp...

Hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HTAB) modified nano silica were used as pore stabilizer for the preparation of interconnected macroporous copolymer foam of Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), Divinylbenzene (DVB) and tert-Butyl acrylate (BA). The polymerization of air infused aqueous foam is carrie...

A homogeneous glycidyl acrylate polymer (GAP) has been grafted on to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyethylene (PE) using a modified plasma glow discharge technique with glycidyl acrylate. The polymeric layer appears to be extremely stable to acidic media and to common organic solvents. Th...

The kinetics of photopolymerization of glycidyl acrylate (GA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) sensitized by radical and cationic initiators have been studied using a combination of photodifferential scanning calorimetry (PDSC) and Fourier Transform i.r. spectroscopy (FT-i.r.). PDSC analysis show...

An aqueous based technique for producing uniform, thin, passive films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(glycidyl acrylate) (PGA) on stainless steel electrodes has been developed. A cathodic free radical polymerisation mechanism is proposed based upon the results of cyclic voltammetry ...

Micron-sized poly (allyl glycidyl ether-co-divinyl benzene) microspheres were prepared by a seed swelling and polymerization method and applied to prepare anion-exchange stationary phases by direct quaternization. The mono-dispersity, diameters, surface characteristics and porosity of microspher...

Novel bio-based acrylate was designed through the epoxy ring-opening reaction of cardanol glycidyl ether (CGE) with fatty acids from camelina oil (FACO), followed by epoxidation of unsaturated chains and then acrylation of the epoxides. Cardanol- and camelina oil-based acrylates were also respec...

Using water-in-oil emulsions with a high volume share of aqueous (droplet) phase as precursors (High Internal Phase Emulsions; HIPEs), highly porous polymers (polyHIPEs) were prepared from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA), their morphology investigated and mechanical and...

A microporous hybrid of poly(glycidyl acrylate)–polypyrrole (PGA–PPy) was synthesized by a two-step solution polymerization. Using this hybrid as polymer host, a gel-electrolyte with high conductivity of 12.83 mS cm−1 was prepared. The researches by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier ...

The rates and extents of polymerization of 1,2-epoxypropane and 1,2-epoxybutane, induced by photolysis of dilute concentrations of salts of 2,5-diethoxy-4-tolylthiobenzenediazonium ion with various Lewis acids (SbF−6, PF−6, BF−4 etc.) have been determined by viscosity, 1H n.m.r. and polymer isol...
