Molecular dynamics simulations (MD) were carried out to model the miscibility behavior of blends of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) with poly(vinylphenol) (PVPh). The Hildebrand solubility parameters of the pure polymers and the Flory-Huggins interaction parameters of the blends at different compositions were computed. Negat…

Abstract In the present work, the wetting concept was further developed for explanation of the kinetics of silica localization in binary and ternary rubber blends in the first mixing period. In the second mixing period when the wetting process is finished, a re‐localization process of silica within the blend phases ta…

Abstract The process of ion exchange was used to introduce copper ions into a commercial soda lime silicate glass, the composition of which corresponds to the miscibility gap in the SiO 2 ‐Na 2 O system. After exchange, the samples have been thermally treated in a gaseous hydrogen atmosphere. The optical absorption of…

We have examined optical properties of a fluorene derivative with two positively charged substituents, 1,1’- diethyl-4,4’-(9,9-diethyl-2,7-fluorenediyl-2,1-ethanediyl)dipyridinium perchlorate (1), in water. The photoluminescence quantum yield of 1 was relatively high (35%) for use as a fluorescent probe in water. We a…

The interplay of metal orbitals in metal TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) and DCNQI (N,N′-dicyanoquinonediimine) complexes is investigated on the basis of molecular orbital calculations. For the M(TCNQ) materials, where M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, Tl, Cu, and Ag, the conductivity decreases with the increase in dimerizat…

Multivalent nanostructures are becoming an increasingly important player in the self-assembly of supramolecular lattices. Understanding the role that shape plays in the coordination of the assemblies is crucial for the functional response of the material. We develop a simple design rule for the assembly of multivalent…

Abstract Various half‐titanocene complexes of the ATiCl 2 Nu type, where A is the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) or indenyl (Ind) group and Nu a nucleophile (ethoxy group or chloride), were used for the polymerization of L ‐lactide, LLA. In the cases where Nu is an ethoxy group, a 5% excess of ATiCl 3 was used to a…

Crystallographic orientation of mesostructured silica films on a substrate drastically changes when the substrate is modified with an anisotropic surface. The [01] axis of a two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal structure of the film prepared on a polyimide surface using C(22)EO(20) as a structure-directing agent changes fro…

In this work, we have designed and synthesized a series of aggregation-induced emission active compounds (4a–c) via Suzuki coupling reaction. Their one and two-photon absorption properties have been investigated. These compounds exhibit high thermal stability, losing only 5% of their weights when heated to 482–503 °C…

Abstract Uniaxial deformation of amorphous L ‐polylactic acid films was performed at two different temperatures at which thermal degradation was minimal, 70 °C or T g + 10 and 90 °C or T g + 30. Samples were annealed postdeformation for long times (either 15 or 45 min) to approach equilibrium conditions. Samples defor…
