A new blend of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) with poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) was prepared. The results from solid-state NMR indicate that the PHEMA/PEG(88:12, w/w) blend is miscible on a molecular level.

It has very important meaning to modify the rosin based on its molecule structure and active group, to develop some deep processing products, and to endure with rosin new characteristic[1]. This work uses the rosin and acrylic acid to form rosin adduct, and then reacted with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) to form ester under the different condition. The effect of different ratios with the ...展开更多
