Barium uranium sulfides, $BaUS_3$ and $BaU_2B_5$, were synthesized in a single phase by the reactin of $(Ba, UO_2)(NO_3)_2$ at Ba/U=1 and 0.5 with carbon disulfide at 1273 K for 6 h. They crystallized in orthorhombic structure with space group, Pnma. The lattice parameters a, b and c are 7.493, 10.38 and 7.238$\AA$ for $BaUS_3$ and 7.525, 8.475 and 11.858$\AA$ for $BaU_2S_5$, respectively. The electrical conductivity of these compunds increased with increasing temperature above 200K, below which however, it was nearly temperature independent. The Hall coefficient suggested that they are n-type semiconductors.

A new methacrylate copolymer that includes chalcone as a side group, poly(4-methacryloyloxyphenyl-4'-methoxystyryl ketone-co-styrene) was synthesized by free radical copolymerization. FTIR and $^1H$ NMR spectroscopic techniques were used to characterize the homopolymers and copolymers. The copolymerizations were carried out to high conversions. Copolymer compositions were established by $^1H$ NMR spectra analysis. The monomer reactivity ratios for copolymer system were determined by the linearized Kelen $T{\ddot{u}}d{\ddot{o}}s$, and Extended Kelen $T{\ddot{u}}d{\ddot{o}}s$ methods and a non-linear least squares method. The molecular weights and polydispersity index of copolymers were measured by using the gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The effect of copolymer compositions on their thermal behavior were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis methods. The optical properties of the resulting copolymer were also investigated.
