In this paper, we present the concept of a soluble tubular conjugated polymer (TCP). We report on a fluorescent 5,5'-Bicalixarene-based polymer where the calixarene units are seamlessly incorporated in the conjugated polymeric chain that can respond to a small molecule complexation inside the hydrophobic cavity. In pa…

We observed micro-scale phase separation in VO2 thin films on TiO2(001) substrates and investigated the relationship between the appearance of metallic domains and the abrupt resistive changes around the phase transition. The resistive changes are interpreted using a combined resistance model of the two phases, and th…

Abstract The effect of the strain rate and draw temperature on the mechanical behavior of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and EVOH composites was analyzed. When EVOH is stretched at moderate strain rates, evidence of strain‐induced crystallization and recrystallization was observed. Higher strain rates produced less str…

Recently, a shape memory polymer-based self-healing syntactic foam was proposed and tested as a sealant for expansion joints. The key for success is to train the foam by using a two-dimensional (2D) stress condition (compression in the horizontal or traffic direction and tension in the vertical direction) at a tempera…
