Amphiphilic Polymer Co-networks: Synthesis, Properties, Modelling and Applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)
Amphiphilic polymer co-networks (APCNs) are a type of polymeric hydrogel, their hydrophobic polymer segments and hydrophilic components produce less aqueous swelling, giving better mechanical properties than conventional ...
Three-step synthesis of ethyl canthinone-3-carboxylates from ethyl 4-bromo-6-methoxy-1,5-naphthyridine-3-carboxylate via a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling and a Cu-catalyzed amidation reaction
(2011)
Ethyl canthin-6-one-1-carboxylate (1b) and nine analogues 1c-k were prepared from readily prepared ethyl 4-bromo-6-methoxy-1,5-naphthyridine-3- carboxylate (2b) via a three-step non-classical approach that focused on ...
Activated biochar derived from cactus fibres - Preparation, characterization and application on Cu(II) removal from aqueous solutions
(2014)
The adsorption efficiency of activated biochar prepared from cactus fibres regarding the removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions has been investigated as a function of various physicochemical parameters (e.g. pH, initial ...
Uranium sorption from aqueous solutions by activated biochar fibres investigated by FTIR spectroscopy and batch experiments
(2015)
The efficiency of activated biochar fibres obtained from Opuntia ficus indica regarding the sorption of hexavalent uranium (U(VI)) from aqueous solutions has been investigated by batch experiments, as a function of various ...
Double-networks based on pH-responsive, amphiphilic "core-first" star first polymer conetworks prepared by sequential RAFT polymerization
(2017)
This manuscript presents the preparation and study of a new double-network hydrogel system, comprising an amphiphilic, pH-responsive first polymer conetwork synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer ...
Lithological and seasonal variations in radon concentrations in Cypriot groundwaters
(2010)
The paper presents and discusses radon activity concentrations in Cypriot groundwater systems as a function of the background lithology and seasonal/meteorological conditions using an airborne radon monitoring system (ARM) ...
Interesting copper(ii)-assisted transformations of 2-acetylpyridine and 2-benzoylpyridine
(2016)
The reactions of various copper(ii) sources with 2-acetylpyridine, (py)(me)CO, and 2-benzoylpyridine, (py)(ph)CO, under strongly basic conditions have been studied and novel ligand transformations have been discovered. ...
Synthesis and characterization of robust double-networks based on end-linked, pH-responsive first networks
(2015)
Abstract Fragile, end-linked hydrophilic tertiary amine based methacrylate (first) networks were mechanically reinforced using the double-network principle, via the introduction of a polyacrylamide second network. Reinforcement ...
The search for cobalt single-molecule magnets: A disk-like Co IIICoII 6 cluster with a ligand derived from a novel transformation of 2-acetylpyridine
(2011)
The initial employment of 2-acetylpyridine, (py)(Me)CO, in Co cluster chemistry is reported, and the synthesis, crystal structure, and full magnetic study of [Co7(OH)6(L)6](ClO4) 3·1.6H2O (1·1.6H2O) are described
