Cationic Hydrolytically Degradable Flocculants with Enhanced Water Recovery for Oil Sands Tailings Remediation
Rooney, Thomas R.; Gumfekar, Sarang P.; Soares, João B. P.; Hutchinson, Robin A (Wiley, 2016)Micellar radical polymerization of a short-chain polyester macromonomer, polycaprolactone choline iodide ester methacrylate (PCLnChMA), is used to produce a new cationic flocculant that becomes more hydrophobic in response ... -
Polylactic acid macromonomer radical propagation kinetics and degradation behaviour
Rooney, Thomas R.; Moscatelli, Davide; Hutchinson, Robin A (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017-08-01)Polylactic acid ethyl ester methacrylate (PLANEMA) macromonomers are synthesized with N = 1, 5, 7, and 9 average number of polyester units. While propagation rate coefficients (kp) determined by pulsed laser polymerization ... -
Pulsed laser studies of cationic reactive surfactant radical propagation kinetics
Rooney, Thomas R.; Chovancová, Anna; Lacík, Igor; Hutchinson, Robin A (Elsevier BV, 2017-11-09)Pulsed laser polymerization coupled with size exclusion chromatography (PLP-SEC) was implemented to study the micellar radical homopropagation kinetics of cationic surfmer, polycaprolactone choline iodide ester methacrylate ... -
Pulsed-laser and quantum mechanics study of n-butyl cyanoacrylate and methyl methacrylate free-radical copolymerization
Rooney, Thomas R.; Mavroudakis, Evangelos; Lacík, Igor; Hutchinson, Robin A; Moscatelli, Davide (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015-02-17)The free-radical polymerization (FRP) kinetics for n-butyl cyanoacrylate (BCA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) copolymerization are studied in bulk at 30–70 °C using both a pulsed-laser polymerization technique and Quantum ...
