A new series of hyperbranched polymer electrolytes for use as membranes for lithium batteries are described. Electrolytes were made by polymerization between cyanuric chloride and diamino-terminated poly(ethylene oxide)s, followed by cross-linking via a sol−gel process. The cross-linking improves the mechanical integr…

Abstract Electron‐beam irradiation of injection‐molded specimens of polyiminohexamethyleneiminoadipoyl (better known as polyamide‐6,6) was carried out in air at ambient temperature (303 K) and a high temperature (393 K). Most of the irradiated specimens were tensile dumbbells, although a few were cylinders for compres…

Polyoxometallates (POMs), i.e. metal oxide clusters of mainly tungsten, are effective homogeneous photocatalysts for the mineralization of organic pollutants. ·OH radicals formed by the reaction of the photo-excited POMs with H2O appear to play a key role in the process. POMs are similar to TiO2. In this article, the…

Abstract The bulk ring‐opening copolymerization of glycolide with trimethylene carbonate was performed under different conditions. The influence of the composition, temperature, reaction time, and catalyst on the chain microstructure was studied by means of 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. The final microstructure was f…

Abstract A series of plastic materials from recycled polyethylene (PE) and oyster‐shell powder were prepared to test their fire‐retardant properties with an aim of finding a practical way of waste recycling. Oyster‐shell powder was found to be mainly composed of calcium carbonate and it decomposed to calcium oxide and…

Abstract Many studies have been carried out to make bottle‐to‐bottle recycling feasible. One of the difficulties found is the decrease in the polymer's molar mass, which damages the injection blow molding process. A method usually employed to increase the molar mass of virgin PET consists of solid‐state polymerization…

The interplay between the solid-state spin-crossover features and the structural properties is analyzed for the $[{\mathrm{Mn}}^{III}{(\mathrm{pyrol})}_{3}\mathrm{tren}]$ complex on the basis of high-pressure and low-temperature single-crystal x-ray-diffraction experiments. In particular, the low-temperature ($30\phan…

We present first-principles total-energy calculations of water adsorption on the $\mathrm{Zn}\mathrm{O}(10\overline{1}0)$ surface. We find that on ideal $\mathrm{Zn}\mathrm{O}(10\overline{1}0)$ surfaces, the fully molecular chemisorption is most energetically favorable at coverage $\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.5\phantom{\r…

The reaction of the bismuth silanolates [Bi(OSiR2R')3] (R = R' = Me, Et, iPr; R = Me, R' = tBu) with water has been studied. Partial hydrolysis gave polynuclear bismuth-oxo clusters whereas amorphous bismuth-oxo(hydroxy) silanolates were obtained when an excess of water was used in the hydrolysis reaction. The metathe…

We measured the ultrafast response of triangular silver nanoparticles upon femtosecond excitation of their plasmon resonance. After a fast electron relaxation, the signature of a bimodal mechanical vibration of the particle is apparent as a spectral modulation. We identify the two lowest frequency, totally symmetric v…
