In the presence of a catalytic amount of radical initiator AIBN, primary amines are oxidatively coupled to imines and tertiary amines are cyanated to α-aminonitriles. These "metal-free" aerobic oxidative coupling reactions may find applications in a wide range of "green"

Journal of endodontics, 37(2), 246-249 (2011-01-18)
We have developed new urethane acrylate-based root canal sealers using polycarbonate (PC) as polyol and 2,2-azobis(2-methyl)butyronitrile (AMBN) as a thermal initiator. The purpose of this study was to compare the properties among a group of seven sealers: (1) polybutyleneadipate (PBA)

Amphiphilic star shaped polymers with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) arms and cross-linked hydrophobic core were synthesized in water via either conventional free radical polymerization (FRP) or atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) techniques using a simple "arm-first" method. In FRP, PEO based

A novel class of nonionic amphipols (NAPols) designed to handle membrane proteins in aqueous solutions has been synthesized, and its solution properties have been examined. These were synthesized through free radical cotelomerization of glucose-based hydrophilic and amphiphilic monomers derived from
Idil Ipek Yilmaz et al.
Macromolecular rapid communications, 33(9), 856-862 (2012-04-21)
Polymers containing maleimide groups on their side chains have been synthesized by utilization of a novel styrenic monomer containing a masked-maleimide unit. AIBN initiated free radical polymerization and reverse addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was utilized for synthesis of copolymers
