Contexts and reasons for emoji usage of Chinese Singaporean university students by Lai, Priscilla Zi Ga

“…This paper aims to control the platform studied and participant backgrounds to investigate the contexts and reasons for emoji usage of Chinese Singaporean university students on Whatsapp. 10 pairs of Chinese Singaporean university students underwent a text-based interview about the reasons and social contexts behind their emoji usage, and submitted screenshots of a section of their Whatsapp conversation for analysis of the textual context. Nine reasons for emoji usage, and six main reasons and seven sub-reasons for emoji avoidance are found. …”

Reverse emulsion polymerization : study of variables’ effects on nanogel synthesis and behaviour by Ho, Cheng En

“…Stable water-dispersible nanohydrogels of crosslinked acrylic acid-co-acrylamide (Poly AAc-co-AM) polymer were formed by inverse emulsion polymerization using N,N'methylenebisacrylamide (NNMBA) as cross-linking agent, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate (TWEEN80) and sorbitan monooleate (SPAN80) as cosurfactants. Various factors (temperature, initiator type, solvent ratio and surfactant ratio) that affect the reaction were arranged in a matrix and experiments were carried out in order to test how the factors affect the formation of the nanogel. …”
