Synthesis of acrylic acid and acrylic esters via oxidation and oxidative alkoxylation of acrolein under mild conditions with selenium-modified microgel catalysts

Abstract

Systematic studies of acrolein oxidation and oxidative alkoxylation catalyzed by Se-modified microgel catalysts at mild reaction conditions were conducted. Se-modified microgels proved to be highly active colloidal catalysts and exhibited...

The compression of deformed microgels at an air/water interface

“…1 Therefore, microgels have found a wide range of applications, in e.g. , chemical/biological separation, 2 switchable catalysts, 3 colloidal crystals/glasses, 4 biomedical materials, 5 autonomous actuators, 6 and particulate stabilizers. 7…”
