Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used as templates to synthesize regioselective polymers from enzymatic polymerization of phenol in water. About 90% of total polymeric units in the obtained polymers are the highly thermally stable oxyphenylene units. The polymer‐yields are dependent on the quantities of CNTs used.…

Nickel–manganese mixed oxides were prepared with sol–gel and coprecipitation methods. The characterization of the different samples was made by XRD, TPR, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopies. NiMn 2 O 4 spinel was obtained at a calcination temperature of 900 °C; the solids calcined at 750 °C give in addition to the spinel p…

The fluorinated quinacridone derivatives N,N'-dialkyl-2,9-difluoroquinacridone (Cn-DFQA, n = 4, 8, 10, 16) with different alkyl chains were used as building blocks to assemble luminescent micromaterials. It was demonstrated that the morphology and emission of the Cn-DFQA-based micromaterials strongly depended on their…

We present an impulsive stimulated scattering test of the "shoving model" of the glass transition and of the correlation between the fragility index and the ratio of instantaneous elastic moduli of eight supercooled liquids. Samples of triphenyl phosphite, DC704 (tetramethyl tetraphenyl trisiloxane), m-fluoroaniline,…

Naphthopyran polymer conjugates of various rigidities were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), and their photochromic properties were tested within a rigid host matrix. Broad tuning of photochromic kinetics was displayed as a result of polymer conjugation because of its ability to alter the loc…
