BAIN initiator

Genzer and co-workers studied the effects of weak linkers (e.g., ester bond) on the stability of surface-grafted PDMAEMA (a weak polyelectrolyte) brushes at varying conditions of pH [ 161 ]. Two sets of PDMAEMA brushes were prepared by surface-initiated free radical polymerization (Sl-FRP) from the so-called BAIN initiator and SI-ATRP from [ll-(2-bromo-2-methyl)propionyloxy]-undecyltri-chlorosilane (BMPUS) initiator, respectively. BAIN is special compared to...

The dimerization of 49 (Ar = Mes) yields compound 54, whose X-ray crystal structure could be determined , via diradicals 52 and 53. This reaction may be considered as a special case of silene dimerization. Although the typical course of silene dimerization leads to head-to-tail adducts (cf Section II.A), highly substituted analogues often give the head-to-head isomer. Brook and Baines have proposed that many of these dimerizations also proceed via initial formation of a Si—Si bond to give 1,4-diradicals which, in some cases, isomerize by intramolecular hydrogen abstractions . ... 

These obtained results indieate that an initial contamination with PAHs in the surface of foodstuffs implies their subsequent penetration within the product over the storage time. In addition, a lower diffusion of such compounds due to increasing MWs of the analytes was observed. The physical and chemical interactions of analytes with the protein netwoiL of the microstructure of the gelatine imply a complex diffusion process (Baines and Morris, 1987 Boland et al. 2004). This might explain why the PAH with the lowest MW (NA) was the only... 

Isotherms and isobars are drawn from thermal gravimetric measurements using a Me Bain balance well suitable to impose water vapor pressures controlled by means of a "cold point" (ref. 16). The curves are constructed in graduated steps by increasing (or decreasing) pressure or temperature in small successive increments. Before each experiment, the zeolite is activated in situ at 400°C at 10 1 Pa. For adsorption the initial state is the activated state at 350 C, either at a pressure p under isobaric conditions, or at a pressure of 101 Pa under isothermal conditions. The final state is a state close to saturation. For desorption measurements the previous defined initial and final states are reverse.
