Ag ions sorption by nanocarbon Ag chemical reduction —> vinyl-pyrrolidone sorption vinylpyrrolidone polymerization. 

In contrast to /3-PCPY, ICPY did not initiate copolymerization of MMA with styrene [39] and AN with styrene [40]. However, it accelerated radical polymerization by increasing the rate of initiation in the former case and decreasing the rate of termination in the latter case. The studies on photocopolymerization of MMA with styrene in the presence of ICPY has also been reported [41], /8-PCPY also initiated radical copolymerization of 4-vinylpyridine with methyl methacrylate [42]. However, the ylide retarded the polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone, initiated by AIBN at 60°C in benzene [44]. (See also Table 2.)... 

Most other hydrophilic monomers inclined to radical polymerization (methacrylamide, methacrylic acid, N-vinylpyrrolidone, aminoalkyl and hydroxyalkyl methacrylates) do not form hydrogels with high swellability in water. 

Indeed, the polymeric interface seems to be highly diffuse and hydrophilic because copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N- (2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide are readily soluble in water [53]. Besides, aminopropyl-glass adsorbs the acryloyl chloride copolymer so that only 10% of its active functions become amidated. The rest is located on the loops and tails of the attached macromolecules [51]. Thus the steric repulsion of the bonded phase is a probable reason for the high inertness of the packing towards viruses. 

The nature of the interaction between the monomer and the template is more obvious in cases where specific ionic or hydrogen bonding is possible. For example, /f-vinyl imidazole has been polymerized along a PM A A template301 202 and acrylic acid has been polymerized on a Af-vinylpyrrolidone template.3 The daughter PAA had a similar degree of polymerization to the template and had a greater fraction of isotaclic triads than PAA formed in the absence of the template. 

Free radical polymerization combined with anionic ring polymerization was employed for the synthesis of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-fr-poly(D,L-lactide), PVP-fr-PDLLA, as shown in Scheme 49 [121]. The free radical polymerization of VP was conducted using 2,2/-azobis[2-methyl-M-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide] as the initiator, isopropyl alcohol and 2-... 

The formation of inter- and intrapolymer complexes has also been shown to affect the polymerization kinetics. For example, Ferguson and Shah (1968) investigated the influence of intrapolymer complexation on the kinetics of AA in the presence of copolymer matrices composed of either A-vinylpyrrolidone and acrylamide or A--vi nyl pyrrol idone and styrene. The polymerization rate reaches a maximum in the vicinity of AA to VP ratio equal to one for the VP/AAm matrix. This maximum in the polymerization rate is most pronounced in the presence of copolymer with the highest content of VP. When the hydrophilic acrylamide is replaced with the more hydrophobic styrene monomer in the copolymer matrix, the observed maximum in AA polymerization rate occurred at a lower than equimolar ratio of AA to VP. The hydrophilic groups of VP were interacting with the hydrophobic nucleus consisting of the styrene units in the VP/St copolymer, and were thus unable to participate in the formation of the complex unlike in the case of VP/AAm copolymer matrix. 

Crospovidone is a cross-linked homopolymer of A-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone. Acetylene and formaldehyde react to form butynediol. Hydrogenation and subsequent cyclodehydrogenation gives butyrolactone. The reaction of butyrolactone with ammonia produces pyrrolidone, which is vinylated with acetylene under pressure. The linear polymerization of the vinylpyrrolidone yields polyvinylpyrrolidone, a soluble binder, whereas the popcorn (branched) polymerization yields crospovidone, an insoluble... 

PolyCmethacrylic acid) was used as template for polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone. Interaction between poly(methacrylic acid) and N-vinylpyrrolidone is based on the hydrogen bonding between COOH groups and carbonyl groups in the monomer ... 

Because of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-vinylpyrrolidone in water, polymerization was carried out in organic solvent - DMF. Three types of samples of poly(methacrylic acid) were used syndiotactic - obtained by radiation polymerization, atactic - obtained by radical polymerization, and isotactic - obtained by hydrolysis of isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate). It was found that in all cases the rate enhancement appeared in comparison with the blank polymerization (without template). The rate enhancement became more pronounced with increasing chain length and syndiotacticity of the template. According to the authors, the rate enhancement is connected with the stronger complex formation between poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) and syndiotactic poly(methacrylic acid) then with isotactic template. This conclusion was supported by turbimetric titration in DMF/DMSO system and by model considerations. It is worth noting, however, that... 

When the ratio of template to acid is close to 0.5, the viscosity of the product is more than 3 times higher than the viscosity of the polymer obtained without the template. PEO participates in the change of local concentration by interaction with carbonyl groups, but not in the activation. Solution of LiCl in N-methylpyrrolidone with PlOCeHsls was found very effective system for synthesis of amides by the direct reaction of acids with amines in the presence of polymeric matrix. High molecular weight poly(aminoacids) obtained by direct polycondensation reaction, promoted by triphenyl phosphite and LiCl in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone), were synthesized by Higashi et al The results for polymerization of L-leucine in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) are presented in the Table 6.3. 

Ferguson and Shah showed that, parallel to polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of poly(vinylpyrrolidone), graft copolymer is formed. The reaction product was separated using paper electrophoresis. In contrast to the complex obtained by mixing of... 

As stated in the introductory chapter, water-soluble polymers, such as polyethylene oxide), poly(AT-vinylpyrrolidone), polyacrylamide, poly(vinyl alcohol), dextrans etc., have been believed to be inert to any of the biological elements. In fact, a number of trials have been carried out to improve the biocompatibility of polymeric materials by conjugating water soluble polymers,... 

Polymer-bound dinitrogen complexes containing Mn have been prepared [8] directly from the polymer bound (n5-vinylmethyl-cyclopentadienyl) tricar-bonylmanganese (VCM) and molecular nitrogen in THF/benzene. The metal-containing base polymer may be readily prepared by AIBN initiated radical polymerization of VCM with styrene or /V-vinylpyrrolidone (Fig. 4). 

The five-membered cyclic amide pyrrolidone has achieved widespread attention in the area of heterocyclic polymers since the first preparation and polymerization reactions of l-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one (1) were reported in the early 1940s. Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (2) and its copolymers are among the most thoroughly studied heterocyclic addition polymers (B-74MI11100). Monomer (1) is readily polymerized (B-77MI11100) both free radically and ionically (Scheme 1). The former method is by far the most important, and allows the preparation of a wide variety of copolymers. Interestingly, in the homopolymerization of vinylpyrrolidone (1), the molecular weight of the polymer obtained does not appear to be influenced by the initiator concentration or the reaction temperature. 

In addition to vinylpyrrolidone (1) itself, numerous substituted vinylpyrrolidones have been prepared and polymerized, as have pyrrolidones containing other addition polymerizable groups (B-74MI11100). 

Applying this method to the system polystyrene/methyl methacrylate, block copolymers containing 20—30% styrene have been prepared the systems polyvinyl acetate/styrene and polyvinyl acetate/ethyl chloroacrylate afford block copolymers containing respectively 40 and 82% vinyl acetate 204). In contrast, the polystyrene prepared using phthalyl polyperoxide was unable to initiate the polymerization of vinyl acetate or vinylpyrrolidone, likely on account of the difference in stability of the concerned radicals. 

Polymeric steric stabilizer such as poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPo),poly(acrylic acid), poly(hydroxypropyl)cellulose, etc., are used to prepare monodisperse polymer in dispersion polymerization of monomers such as alkyl acrylates and methacrylates, and styrene in polar media. AB and ABA block copolymers are a second type of steric stabilizer which can be used in dispersion polymerization. For example, the poly(styrene-h-ethylene oxide) was recently used by Winnik et al. [6] in the dispersion polymerization of styrene in methanol. 

Kinetically slow steps in the formation of melanin from DOPA are the formation of dopaquinone from DOPA (step 1, kD), the reaction of dopachrome to dihydroxyindole (step 2), and the polymerization to form melanin (step 3, kM). Step 1 and step 2 proceed with about the same rate in the oxidative coupling polymerization catalyzed by tyrosinase. However, step 1 becomes remarkably slow when a macromolecule-metal complex is used as a catalyst. The copper complex in poly(l-vinylimidazole-co-vinylpyrrolidone) has been found [38] to act as an excellent catalyst and to exhibit the highest activity for melanin formation. The ratio of the rate constants ( m/ d) is approximately 3 (tyrosinase...
