Polyelectrolytes are a class of polymers possessing ionic groups on their repeating units.
Since counterions can dissociate from the polymer backbone, polyelectrolyte chains are …

We report a series of sponge-like hydrogels prepared by polymerizing an aqueous solution
of methacrylic acid (MAAc) in the presence of N, N, N′, N′-tetramethylethylenediamine …

We study the viscosity of polystyrenesulfonate with sodium and tetrabutylammonium
counterions in aqueous and organic solvent media. We find that at low concentrations the …

Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) and amphiphilic-macroRAFT-mediated
emulsion polymerization are commonly used approaches for synthesis of well-defined …

Non‐Newtonian fluids are ubiquitous in daily life and industrial applications. Herein, we
report an intelligent fluidic system integrating two distinct non‐Newtonian rheological …

Carboxylic acids are versatile organic compounds. In this chapter is presented a current
overview of the use of carboxylic acids in a different area as organic synthesis …

Fluidic materials that exhibit an engineered non-Newtonian response are highly desirable in
industrial and military applications. For example, shear thickening is highly intriguing in the …

We study the conformational and flow properties of sodium polystyrenesulfonate in aqueous
NaCl solutions in the high polymer, high added-salt region using rheology and small angle …

The synthesis of polymer-grafted graphene oxide (GO) using a branched radical
polymerization strategy is described. A methacrylate-based macromonomer is used as a …

The temperature-induced formation of nanoparticles of two poly (methacrylic acid)(PMA)
isomers, atactic (aPMA) and isotactic (iPMA), displays an opposite thermoresponsiveness …
