  • Properties of Polypropylene Yarns with a Polytetrafluoroethylene
    coatings Article Properties of Polypropylene Yarns with a Polytetrafluoroethylene Coating Containing Stabilized Magnetite Particles Natalia Prorokova 1,2,* and Svetlana Vavilova 1 1 G.A. Krestov Institute of Solution Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Akademicheskaya St. 1, 153045 Ivanovo, Russia; [email protected] 2 Department of Natural Sciences and Technosphere Safety, Ivanovo State Polytechnic University, Sheremetevsky Ave. 21, 153000 Ivanovo, Russia * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This paper describes an original method for forming a stable coating on a polypropylene yarn. The use of this method provides this yarn with barrier antimicrobial properties, reducing its electrical resistance, increasing its strength, and achieving extremely high chemical resistance, similar to that of fluoropolymer yarns. The method is applied at the melt-spinning stage of polypropylene yarns. It is based on forming an ultrathin, continuous, and uniform coating on the surface of each of the yarn filaments. The coating is formed from polytetrafluoroethylene doped with magnetite nanoparticles stabilized with sodium stearate. The paper presents the results of a study of the effects of such an ultrathin polytetrafluoroethylene coating containing stabilized magnetite particles on the mechanical and electrophysical characteristics of the polypropylene yarn and its barrier antimicrobial properties. It also evaluates the chemical resistance of the polypropylene yarn with a coating based on polytetrafluoroethylene doped with magnetite nanoparticles. Citation: Prorokova, N.; Vavilova, S.

  • Activity of Povidone in Recent Biomedical Applications with Emphasis on Micro- and Nano Drug Delivery Systems
    pharmaceutics Review Activity of Povidone in Recent Biomedical Applications with Emphasis on Micro- and Nano Drug Delivery Systems Ewelina Waleka 1,2 , Zbigniew Stojek 1 and Marcin Karbarz 1,* 1 Faculty of Chemistry, Biological and Chemical Research Center, University of Warsaw, 101 Zwirki˙ i Wigury Av., PL 02-089 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] (E.W.); [email protected] (Z.S.) 2 Faculty of Chemistry, Warsaw University of Technology, 1 Pl. Politechniki Av., PL 00-661 Warsaw, Poland * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Due to the unwanted toxic properties of some drugs, new efficient methods of protection of the organisms against that toxicity are required. New materials are synthesized to effectively disseminate the active substance without affecting the healthy cells. Thus far, a number of poly- mers have been applied to build novel drug delivery systems. One of interesting polymers for this purpose is povidone, pVP. Contrary to other polymeric materials, the synthesis of povidone nanoparticles can take place under various condition, due to good solubility of this polymer in several organic and inorganic solvents. Moreover, povidone is known as nontoxic, non-carcinogenic, and temperature-insensitive substance. Its flexible design and the presence of various functional groups allow connection with the hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. It is worth noting, that pVP is regarded as an ecofriendly substance. Despite wide application of pVP in medicine, it was not often selected for the production of drug carriers. This review article is focused on recent reports on the role povidone can play in micro- and nano drug delivery systems.

  • Investigation of Poly(Vinyl Pyrrolidone) in Methanol by Dynamic Light Scattering and Viscosity Techniques
    http://www.e-polymers.org e-Polymers 2007, no. 020 ISSN 1618-7229 Investigation of Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) in methanol by dynamic light scattering and viscosity techniques Adel Aschi*, Mohamed Mondher Jebari and Abdelhafidh Gharbi Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Molle, Faculté des Sciences de Tunis, Campus Universitaire, 1060, Tunisia; Fax +216.71.885.073; email : aschi13@ yahoo.fr (Received: 17 November, 2006; published: 16 February, 2007) Abstract: The behavior of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) in methanol was examined using several independent methods. The hydrodynamic radius (Rh) of individual samples, over a range of molecular weights (10,000–360,000), was determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) techniques directly probe such dynamics by monitoring and analyzing the pattern of fluctuations of the light scattered from polymer molecules. Some viscosity measurements were also performed to complete the DLS measurements and to provide more information on the particle structure. The results obtained with PVP–methanol system showed that plotting the variation of intrinsic viscosity versus the logarithm of the molecular mass of this polymer, we observe one crossover point. This crossover point appears when we reach the Θ-solvent behavior and delimit two molecular mass regions. The second order least-squares regression was used as an approach and was in excellent agreement with viscometric experimental results. Keywords: DLS, Hydrodynamic radius, intrinsic viscosity. Introduction Polymers are frequently employed in many industrial and pharmaceutical applications. As a result, this has prompted a large volume of fundamental studies to understand the kinetic equilibrium, structural, and rheological properties of many different systems.

  • Chain-Growth Polymerization, Version of 1/5/05
    Chapter Three, Chain-growth polymerization, Version of 1/5/05 3 Chain-growth polymerization 3.1 Introduction We indicated in Chapter 1 that the category of addition polymers is best characterized by the mechanism of the polymerization reaction, rather than by the addition reaction itself. This is known to be a chain mechanism, so in the case of addition polymers we have chain reactions producing chain molecules. One thing to bear in mind is the two uses of the word chain in this discussion. The word chain continues to offer the best description of large polymer molecules. A chain reaction, on the other hand, describes a whole series of successive events triggered by some initial occurrence. We sometimes encounter this description of highway accidents in which one traffic mishap on a fogbound highway results in a pileup of colliding vehicles that can extend for miles. In nuclear reactors a cascade of fission reactions occurs which is initiated by the capture of the first neutron. In both of these examples some initiating event is required. This is also true in chain-growth polymerization. In the above examples the size of the chain can be measured by considering the number of automobile collisions that result from the first accident, or the number of fission reactions which follow from the first neutron capture. When we think about the number of monomers that react as a result of a single initiation step, we are led directly to the degree of polymerization of the resulting molecule. In this way the chain mechanism and the properties of the polymer chains are directly related.
