The phase behaviour of poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) blended either with poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) or poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) was studied. The blends were found to be miscible in certain ranges of copolymer compositions. Light scattering and DSC measurements showed them to phas

โฆ Synopsis
Coordinate bonds form between oxygen and platinum atoms in crosslinked poly[(maleic acid)-co-styrene]-platinum complex according to FTIR and XPS measurements. The complex is demonstrated to be an active and selective catalyst for the hydrogenation of methyl formate under mild conditions (25"C, 1 atmH,). Methyl formate can be converted selectively to methanol in 82.6% yield within 6h at a COOH/Pt mole ratio of 17.85 in the complex with npropanol as the solvent. The catalyst exhibits high stability, with turnover number (mol of methyl formate converted/mol of platinum) of the catalyst reaching 1064 within 48 h.
