Abstract We have developed a simple and efficient method for the synthesis of rigidized mono‐ and bis‐heptamethine merocyanines that contain one methine unit incorporated into a cyclopentene framework. The synthetic approach is based on C1/C5 regioselective nucleophilic addition of mono‐ and diketone lithium enolates…

Abstract Orientation correlations induced by shear flow and their relaxation were investigated using in situ small‐angle light scattering (SALS) in the thermotropic random copolyester of 60 mol% hydroxybenzoic acid (B) and 40 mol% ethylene terephthalate (ET). B‐ET displays a nematic polydomain texture, the SALS and wi…

A number of recent experiments suggest that, at a given wetting speed, the dynamic contact angle formed by an advancing liquid-gas interface with a solid substrate depends on the flow field and geometry near the moving contact line. In the present work, this effect is investigated in the framework of an earlier develo…

Abstract Poly(butylene naphthalate) (PBN), poly(diethylene naphthalate) (PDEN), and poly(thiodiethylene naphthalate) (PTDEN) were synthesized and characterized in terms of chemical structure and molecular weight. The polyesters were examined by TGA, DSC, and DMTA. All the polymers showed a good thermal stability, even…

Using density functional theory we show that a recently synthesized silsesquioxanes (SQ) nano complex [RSiO 3/2 ] n with R = −C 5 H 5 provides a novel material for hydrogen storage. Grafting cyclopentadienyl on SQ totally changes its electronic structure and chemistry: cyclopentadienyl becomes a reactive site where a…

Abstract Thin films with a dielectric constant in the range of 1.9–4.5 have been deposited under different experimental conditions from allyltrimethylsilane (ATMS) and oxygen fed glow discharges. The thermal stability of the coatings is evaluated from thickness loss during the annealing process at 400 and 450 °C. Extr…

Changes in the Raman spectra of individual metallic single-walled carbon nantoubes (SWNTs) upon sidewall covalent bond formation have been studied. In light of the Fermi level shift dependent G-band line shape and D-band intensity in metallic tubes, the validity of commonly used D to G intensity ratio as an assessment…

We report the synthesis of two poly(phenylene ethynylene)s (PPEs) with alternating dialkylbenzene−perfluorobenzene repeating units. The combination of low volume fraction of solubilizing side chains and enhanced intermolecular π−π stacking renders these materials insoluble. A soluble polymer analogue was realized by u…
