Abstract:A series of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) based on poly(α-terpineol-costyrene) and ethylacrylate cross-linked with divinyl benzene have been synthesized at 80 • C for 80 min in dioxane, initiated by p-nitrobenzyl triphenyl phosphonium ylide, under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen. The Fourier transform infrared spectrum attributes structural evidences for IPNs, indicating characteristic frequencies of the ester group of ethyl acrylate at 1727 cm −1 and alcoholic group of α-terpineol at 3390 cm −… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
