Reactive groups chemistry

Toughening of BMIs with thermoplastics is a promising approach however, more information is required about the toughening mechanism involved in order to select the most promising polymers in terms of backbone chemistry, molecular weight, and reactive groups. 

All reactive dye chemistry has been developed to either improve the efficiencies within a profile or to modify the profile to give better performance. For example, bifimctional reactive dyes, those containing two reactive groups, were developed to increase the fixation levels (C) and minimize wash off. 

There are relatively few other reactive groups which react by nucleophilic addition and which have achieved significant commercial success. However, one particular system which is worthy of note is the a-bromoacrylamido group, found in the Lanasol dyes (Ciba), which are among the most widely used reactive dyes for wool. The chemistry...

Fluorobenzene-type compounds have been used as functional groups in homobifunctional crosslinking agents (Chapter 4, Section 4). Their reaction with amines involves nucleophilic displacement of the fluorine atom with the amine derivative, creating a substituted aryl amine bond (Reaction 9). Detection reagents incorporating reactive aryl chemistry include 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene and trinitrobenzenesulfonate (Eisen et al., 1953). These compounds form...
