Directed ortho-metallation is used to introduce a boron function into N,N-diisopropylbenzamide,. resulting in the formation of both borinate and boronate derivatives. N,N-Diisopropylbenzamide ortho-boronate pinacol ester can be reduced with sodium bo...

Novel thermosetting poly[-oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate]-sodium montmorillonite nanocomposites containing a range of clay volume fractions were prepared by an in situ polymerization method. X-ray diffraction showed that the basal plane spacing of... Read More about Morphology and elastic modulus of novel poly oligo(ethylene glycol) diacrylate -montmorillonite nanocomposites.

Interlayer structure and bonding in nonswelling primary amine intercalated clays (2005)
Journal Article
Greenwell, H., Harvey, M., Boulet, P., Bowden, A., Coveney, P., & Whiting, A. (2005). Interlayer structure and bonding in nonswelling primary amine intercalated clays. Macromolecules, 38(14), 6189-6200. https://doi.org/10.1021/ma0503817

Preparation of industrially useful clay-polymer nanocomposite materials often requires the dispersal of clay particles within a polymer matrix. The degree to which the clay particles may be dispersed has an effect on the resultant properties of the m...

N-Phosphorylimines undergo Lewis acid-catalyzed Diels-Alder reactions with Danishefsky's diene. Application of the chiral catalyst zinc (II)- (S)-BINOL results in good-to-low asymmetric induction but poor chemical conversion. However, the absolute st...
