Many applications of native cellulose, regenerated cellulose, and chemical cellulose derivatives, such as esters and ethers, involve contact of the material with a liquid phase that contains dissolved or dispersed matter. For most of these applications, detailed knowledge of the interactions of the cellulosic material…

The electronic transmission and conductance of a gapped graphene superlattice were calculated by means of the transfer-matrix method. The system that we study consists of a sequence of electron-doped graphene as wells and hole-doped graphene as barriers. We show that the transmission probability approaches unity at so…

Abstract Electroabsorption and electrophotoluminescence spectra of supramolecular porphyrin dimers in a solid film of poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, have been examined. The electroabsorption spectra in the Soret band region are fitted by the deconvolution of the corresponding absorption spectrum into four components…

The effect of confinement and energy transfer on the dynamics of a molecular magnet, known as a model system to study quantum coherence, is investigated. For this purpose the well-known polyoxovanadate [V(15)As(6)O(42)(H(2)O)](6-) (V(15)) is incorporated into a protein (human serum albumin, HSA) cavity. Due to a huge…

The crystallization of polyethylene/fullerene (PE/C60) nanocomposites with different fullerene content was investigated at different temperatures by means of molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that there is a critical temperature for PE/C60 nanocomposite crystallization. The high C60 content makes the low crit…

Abstract A new structurally simple motif, where two anthracene moieties are linked by a 2‐aza‐1,3‐butadiene bridge has been synthesized and characterized. This new molecular probe senses Yb 3+ metal cations through two different channels: a colour change from yellowish to orange, which can be used for its “naked‐eye”…

Abstract Ring opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone was realized in the presence of monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol) with M n = 1000 and 2000, using Zn(La) 2 as catalyst. The resulting PCL‐PEG diblock copolymers with CL/EO repeat unit molar ratios from 0.2 to 3.0 were characterized by using DSC, WAXD, SEC, and 1 H…

Abstract Applying a metathesis approach (MCl2·xH2O+Na2SnO3·xH2O→MSn(OH)6+NaCl+xH2O), Schoenfliesite-type materials with general formula MSn(OH)6 (where M=Ca, Cu, Mg, Mn or Zn) were synthesized at room-temperature. The high lattice-energy of the by-product alkali halide NaCl drives the reaction in the forward direction…

Abstract A stochastic approach to describe the crystal size distribution dynamics in antisolvent based crystal growth processes is here introduced. Fluctuations in the process dynamics are taken into account by embedding a deterministic model into a Fokker‐Planck equation, which describes the evolution in time of the…
