The need for the possibility of producing calcium carbonate crystals by the evaporation method within five minutes and the growth of different calcium carbonate polymorphs on chitin whiskers within the same time frame at room temperature necessitated these report. Chitin whiskers (CHWs) were used as insoluble substrates, while poly (acrylic) acid (PAA) is used as soluble additive. The crystals were grown in chitin whiskers, Poly (acrylic) acid and CHW/PAA composites. The volume fractions for aragonite, vaterite, and calcite are 0.10, 0.25, and 0.65, respectively, in the absence of chitin whiskers or Poly (acrylic) acid. Calcite and aragonite volume fractions decrease in favour of vaterite when PAA and or CHWs were added. SEM images in the absence of CHWs and PAA shows rhombohedral calcites that display steady and step like plane appearances with an average edge of between 1.3 and 1.4 μm. In the presence of only CHWs, the SEM images show a mixture of ellipsoidal and spherical shape vaterites. The spherical vaterites have smooth, rough, and some irregular surfaces. Rod-like aragonite polymorphs were seen when only PAA was used as the template. In the presence of both PAA and CHWs, the rhombohedral shape showed roughness with irregular faces.

The self-assembly properties and photoresponsive behaviours of an azobenzene-containing block copolymer poly(acrylic acid-block-6-(4-(p-tolyldiazenyl)phenoxy)hexyl acrylate) (PAA-b-PAzo) are reported. As azobenzene has reversible trans–cis photoisomerization abilities, the trans PAA-b-PAzo solutions were converted...

In this study, the phase transition phenomena of linear poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and linear or star-shaped poly(acrylic acid-co-methyl acrylate) (P(AA-co-MA)) in highly concentrated KCl solutions were investigated. The effects of polymer molecular weight, topology, and composition on their phase transition behavior in solution were investigated. The cloud point temperature (TCP) of polymers drastically increased as the KCl concentration (CKCl) and solution pH increased. CKCl strongly influenced the temperature range at which the phase transition of PAA occurred: CKCl of 1.0–2.2 M allowed the phase transition to occur between 30 and 75 °C. Unfortunately, at CKCl above 2.6 M, the TCP of PAA was too high to theoretically trigger the crystallization of KCl. The addition of hydrophobic methyl acrylate moieties decreased the TCP into a temperature region where KCl crystallization could occur. Additionally, the hydrodynamic diameters (Dh) and zeta potentials of commercial PAA samples were examined at room temperature and at their TCP using dynamic light scattering. The salt concentration (from 1 to 3 M) did not impact the hydrodynamic diameter of the molecules. Dh values were 1500 and 15 nm at room temperature and at TCP, respectively.

This paper proposes a novel soft ionic liquid (IL) electrically functional device that displays resistive memory characteristics using poly(acrylic acid) partial sodium salt (PAA-Na+:H2O) solution gel and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cylindrical microchannel.
