ABSTRACT Large amount of work has been published on the tacticity‐properties relationship of isotactic polypropylene (iPP). However, the stereo‐defect distribution dependence of morphology and mechanical properties of β‐nucleated iPP (β‐iPP) is still not clear. In this study, two different iPP resins (PP‐A and PP‐B) w…

Although low energy density and low voltage tolerance limit the effectiveness of double-layer capacitors (DLCs) as a storage unit, many different lumped-parameter equivalent circuits have been recently proposed for the DLC. The purpose of this work is to predict equivalent-circuit parameters for DLC modules consisting…

Anion-responsive π-conjugated compounds having chiral alkyl chains were synthesized. Circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) were observed in the solution-state assemblies of the chiral anion receptors and those of their anion complexes as salts of a planar triazatriangulenium cation. The C…

A custom made non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet was developed for the deposition of PEG like coatings in open-air for cell repellent applications. OES and electrical measurements were performed to characterize the discharge. The emission of the N2 (C3Πu–B3Πg) was followed in order to minimize the a…

To explore poly(phenylacetylene) (PPA) derivatives as the dispersing agent of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), we synthesized a new series of side chain PPAs (denoted as PPA- m, m = 2, 1, 0). The side chains of PPA- m bear a soluble 3,4,5-tris(octyloxy)phenyl moiety at the end, and a biphenyl ( m = 2), a phenyl…

The success of fabricating single layer graphene and silicon nanofilm (could be as thin as single layer so far) has triggered enormous interest in exploring their unique physics and novel applications. An intuitive idea is to investigate what happens if we construct a heterostructure composed of these two sheets. In t…
