Among unsymmetric oligomesogens, chiral dimers formed by connecting a cholesteryl ester fragment with various aromatic mesogenic cores through a polymethylene spacer have been attracting much attention due to their remarkable thermal behaviour. In particular, dimers containing a diphenylacetylene segment having an alk…

Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films have been functionalized with carboxyl groups by pulsed plasma polymerization of maleic anhydride (MA). The preserved anhydride groups of MA were converted to carboxyl groups by subsequent hydrolysis. Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X‐ray photoelectr…

The effects of the physical aging on the vibrational density of states (VDOS) of a polymeric glass is studied. The VDOS of a poly(methyl methacrylate) glass at low energy ( < 15 meV), was determined from inelastic neutron scattering at low temperature for two different physical thermodynamical states. One sample was a…

Abstract The thermodynamic properties of MgZn2 and Mg2Zn11 were investigated by calorimetry. The standard entropies of formation at 298 K, ΔfSo298, were determined from measuring the heat capacities, Cp, from near absolute zero (2 K) to 390 K by the relaxation method. The standard enthalpies of formation at 298 K, ΔfH…

Abstract A series of polymerizations of 3,6‐dibromo‐9‐(2‐ethylhexyl)carbazole was carried out in different monomer concentrations using standard Yamamoto reaction conditions. It was found that the molecular weight of the resulting poly( N ‐(2‐ethylhexyl)carbazol‐3,6‐diyl) strongly depends on the monomer concentration…
