The performance and solvation characteristics of two novel latex nanoparticle (NP) pseudo-stationary phases (PSPs) for EKC are determined and compared to those of previously reported micellar, polymeric, and NP materials. The new NPs have shells composed of strongly acidic poly(AMPS) as opposed to the poly(acrylic acid) shell of the prior NP, and have varied hydrophobic core chemistry of either poly(butyl acrylate) or poly(ethyl acrylate). The NPs poly(AMPS) shell shows only minor changes in mobility and selectivity between pH 4.9 and 9.4, allowing adjustment of pH to influence and optimize separation performance. All of the NP phases have significantly different solvation characteristics and selectivity relative to SDS micelles. The selectivity and solvent character are similar for NPs with poly(butyl acrylate) cores and different shells, but vary significantly between NPs with poly(butyl acrylate) versus poly(ethyl acrylate) cores. NPs with poly(butyl acrylate) cores are among the least cohesive PSPs reported to date, while the NP with poly(ethyl acrylate) core is among the most cohesive. The results demonstrate that PSPs with unique selectivity can be generated by altering the chemistry of the hydrophobic core.

To overcome the drawbacks of homopolymer-grafted CNF one-component nanocomposites, a range of diblock-grafted cellulose nanofiber (CNF), CNF-g-(polybutyl acrylate-b-polymethyl methacrylate)s were synthesized through reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) methods. The chemical structures and ratios between the two blocks were confirmed, with surface-grafted CNF observed as submicron particles. Both thermal and thermodynamic analysis revealed two glass transition temperatures (T) in the diblock-grafted CNF, and phase-separated morphology was observed in the nanocomposites.

A robust route to produce poly(methyl methacrylate) (pMMA) hybrid latex particles (radius ∼250 nm) that are selectively "armored" with silica nanoparticles (radius 12.5 nm) through addition of vinyltriethoxysilane was previously shown ( 2018, 528, 289-300).Depending on synthesis conditions, the extent of nanoparticle attachment could be varied; however, the mechanism behind this attachment during latex growth remained unclear.

Structural-colored fabrics have been attracting much attention due to their eco-friendliness, dyelessness, and anti-fading properties. Monodisperse microspheres of metal, metal oxide, and semiconductors are promising materials for creating photonic crystals and structural colors owing to their high refractive indices. Herein, CuO microspheres were prepared by a two-step reduction method at room temperature; the size of CuO microspheres was controlled by changing the molar ratio of citrate to Cu; and the size of CuO microspheres was tuned from 275 nm to 190 nm.

Poly(butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) monolith was in situ prepared in a liquid chromatography capillary column with a 75 μm internal diameter. This monolith offered high permeability (5.3 ± 10 m) and good peak capacity (140 for a 15 cm column length at 300 nl/min with a 20 min gradient time).

Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers are widely employed as pour point depressants to enhance the flow properties of crude oil. However, EVA copolymers have limitations that necessitate their development. This work investigated the modification of EVA via gamma radiation-induced grafting of butyl acrylate (BuA) monomers and the evaluation of grafted EVA as a pour point depressant for crude oil.
