The synthesis of amphiphilic carbosilane dendrimers that contain perfluoroalkyl and hydroxy groups at terminal positions is explored in this work. Zeroth- and first-generation hydroxyallyl dendrimers were reacted with a heptadecafluorodecane hydrosilane to produce the new first- and second-generation derivatives in 58…
The effect of defects on TiO 2 (110) on the decomposition of DCOOD was investigated by temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy (TPRS). Different concentrations of anion vacancy defects were created on the TiO 2 (110) surface by electron beam irradiation in order to minimize structural damage to the surface. For c…
Recent advances in polymer materials design seek to incorporate functionality, enhance existing properties, and reduce weight without compromising mechanical properties or processability. While much attention has been drawn to the development of organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposites modified with discrete siliceous…
Intra- and intermolecular interactions in bithiophene are investigated via the measured and calculated vibrational density of states for the polycrystalline material. There is strong intermolecular interaction that hardens vibrational coordinates with respect to the isolated molecule, especially the inter-ring torsion…
A new series of liquid crystalline diblock copolymers composed of a polystyrene and a polymethacrylate with an azobenzene moiety in the side chain were synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization and characterized by various techniques. Photoinduced birefringence of diblock copolymers and the azobenzene h…
To characterize the reorientations of molecular segments in polymer films treated by rubbing, which is critical information for understanding the effects of the rubbing process, the surface structures of rubbed, nanoscaled films of poly{ p -phenylene 3,6-bis[4-( n -octoxy)phenyloxy]pyromellitimide} (C8-PMDA-PDA PI), a…
We have found that for the lanthanum/lithium titanates and related materials with a perovskite-related structure, ABO 3, optimum lithium conductivity takes place for a particular concentration of A-cation vacancies (□) equal to 8%. We have prepared a new oxide with the highest lithium conductivity reported to date for…
We develop a perturbation theory to efficiently calculate derivatives of the free energy with respect to changes in the parameters of the unit cell in the self-consistent-field theory (SCFT) of block copolymer crystals, thus determining the state of mechanical stress in any nonequilibrium unit cell. By requiring that…
The cocrystallization behavior of poly(3-alkylthiophene)s (P3ATs) of varying regioregularity and alkyl chain length was explored via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) studies. For the regioregular samples both DSC and WAXS studies revealed that cocrystallization was limited…
A series of novel trifunctional and tetrafunctional trifluorovinyl aryl ether monomers and perfluorocyclobutane (PCFB) aromatic ether polymers have been synthesized and characterized. These PFCB polymers exhibit desirable properties for low loss optical waveguide applications. Monomers used in this study were prepared…
Herein the electrochemical polymerizations of thieno[3,4- b ]thiophene (T34bT) and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and the electrochemical copolymerizations of T34bT and EDOT carried out in tetrabutylammonium perchlorate and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate electrolyte are compared utilizing cyclic voltammetry…
Besides its capability to gelate various organic solvents, dicyclohexyl ammonium 4-chlorocinnamate 1 is shown to perform selective gelation of oil from oil/water mixtures. While the corresponding 3-chloro derivative 2 is an excellent gelator of nonpolar organic solvents, 2-chloro derivative 3 turned out to be a nongel…
Semiconductive Ga 2 O 3 nanoribbons have been synthesized via hydrogen-assisted thermal evaporation at 1000 °C. The width of the nanoribbons could be controlled by adjusting the content of hydrogen in a mixture of carrier gases. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectrum reveals that there exists a strong blue em…
Unsymmetric peptide bolaamphiphiles that incorporate (l-glutamyl)3glycine at one terminus and either tetraethylene glycol or aspartic acid at the other were found to form hydrogels at low wt %, presumably by self-assembling into nanofibers presenting (l-glutamyl)3glycine at their surfaces and burying the second headgr…
A series of block copolymers were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of l ( d )-lactide in the presence of mono- or dihydroxyl poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) using zinc metal as a catalyst. The resulting diblock and triblock copolymers with relatively short polylactide (PLA) blocks were characterized by various a…
Deposition of stable boron-doped diamond (BDD) films on Ti substrates is believed to be very difficult. In the present study, the stability of Ti/BDD electrodes has been significantly improved by using an organic additive, CH2(OCH3)2. The improved electrodes had service lives of 175-264 h under accelerated life test c…
SWNTs, produced via the HiPco process, display strong microwave absorption (1.01 × 10-5 eV microwave field) with subsequent dramatic light emission, intense heat release (2000 °C), outgassing, mechanical extension, and nanotube reconstruction (welding and loop formation).
Asymmetric dimers consisting of gold microcrystals and spherical silica colloids have been fabricated by depositing thin films of gold onto the spherical colloids to form half-shells, followed by annealing at elevated temperatures. The capability and feasibility of this procedure have been demonstrated with silica and…
Mercaptopropyl-functionalized silica spheres have been prepared by self-assembly co-condensation of mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) precursors in the presence of a cationic surfactant as templating agent and ammonia as catalyst. Several materials have been obtained by varying the MP…
The fabrication of functional nanostructured materials for sensing, encapsulation and delivery requires practical approaches to self-assembly on multiple length scales and the synthesis of tough yet permeable structures. Here, the self-assembly of functionalized, photoluminescent nanoparticles at liquid interfaces, fo…
