Amphiphilic Polymer Conetworks Based on Interconnected Hydrophobic Star Block Copolymers: Synthesis and Characterization
(2017)Herein we report on the preparation and structural characterization of six amphiphilic polymer conetworks (APCN) based on end-linked amphiphilic “core-first” star block copolymers, comprising methyl methacrylate and ...

Cationic star polymer siRNA transfectants interconnected with a piperazine-based cationic cross-linker
(2012)Cationic star polymers of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) were prepared via the "arm-first" method under group transfer polymerization (GTP) conditions, and were interconnected using a novel, hydrophilic, ...

Dynamic Covalent Star Poly(ethylene glycol) Model Hydrogels: A New Platform for Mechanically Robust, Multifunctional Materials
(2017)We develop a new platform of dynamic covalent model polymer networks comprising two types of four-armed star poly(ethylene glycol)s (tetraPEG), one end-functionalized with benzaldehyde groups and the other with ...

Hydrophilic cationic star homopolymers based on a novel diethanol-n-methylamine dimethacrylate cross-linker for sirna transfection: Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation
(2011)Four cationic hydrophilic star homopolymers based on the novel hydrophilic, positively ionizable cross-linker bis(methacryloyloxyethyl)methylamine (BMEMA) were synthesized using sequential group transfer polymerization ...

The method of fundamental solutions for the detection of rigid inclusions and cavities in plane linear elastic bodies
(2012)We investigate the numerical reconstruction of smooth star-shaped voids (rigid inclusions and cavities) which are compactly contained in a two-dimensional isotropic linear elastic body from a single non-destructive measurement ...

The method of fundamental solutions for three-dimensional inverse geometric elasticity problems
(2016)We investigate the numerical reconstruction of smooth star-shaped voids (rigid inclusions and cavities) which are compactly contained in a three-dimensional isotropic linear elastic medium from a single set of Cauchy data ...

STAR: A system of argumentation for story comprehension and beyond
(AI Access Foundation, 2015)This paper presents the STAR system, a system for automated narrative comprehension, developed on top of an argumentation-theoretic formulation of defeasible reasoning, and strongly following guidelines from the psychology ...

Stochastic minimum principle for partially observed systems subject to continuous and jump diffusion processes and driven by relaxed controls
(2013)In this paper, we consider nonconvex control problems of stochastic differential equations driven by relaxed controls adapted, in the weak star sense, to a current of sigma algebras generated by observable processes. We ...

Synthesis and characterization of rigid functional anionic polyelectrolytes: Block copolymers and star homopolymers
(2012)Seven cyclolinear polymers bearing the tertiary-butyl α- (hydroxymethyl)acrylate (TBHMA) ether dimer were prepared using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Of the seven polymers, five ...
