Engineering polymers based on 1,1-diphenylethylene derivatives: polymer substrates as precursors for membrane development

Kasiama, Mizolo Ginette (2012)

A series of new, well-defined poly(ether ether sulfone), poly(ether ether ketone) and polyimide derivatives containing the diphenylethylene moiety were prepared by step-growth polymerization methods. Poly(ether ether ...
Pyridine and amine functionalized polymers by anionic and controlled free radical polymerization methods

Ndawuni, Mzikayise Patrick (2009-07)

The synthesis of dipyridyl functionalized polysulfones with improved hydrophilicity, enhanced membrane morphology and excellent ATRP polymeric ligand properties was conducted by the following method: (a) the formation of ...
Siloxyl and Hydroxyl functionalized polymers by atom transfer radical polymerization

Mputumana, Nomfusi Augusta (2010-06)

The syntheses of siloxyl and hydroxyl chain end functionalized polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) by Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) were effected by the following methods: (a) α-Siloxyl functionalized ...
