Graphite oxide (GO), a carbon material prepared in one step from low cost commercial materials, and graphene oxide have been found to catalyze a wide range of reactions including oxidations, hydrations, and dehydrations, ...

A new polymer with dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene as the actuation center and one of the thiophene derivatives, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, as polymer chain is successfully synthesized. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum ...

The Iverson group has utilized favorable interactions between aromatic units in the development of highly ordered amphiphilic foldamers, two-component liquid crystal assemblies and pseudo-DNA assemblies. The above materials ...

The syntheses, structures and electronic properties of a new class of polythioethers with conjugated backbones and their transition metal complexes are reported. Hexakis(phenylthio)-1,5-hexadien-3-yne and hexakis(isopr ...

Chemistry and Biochemistry

Advances in microelectronic devices have relied heavily on improved photolithographic imaging capabilities. The resolution limit of optical lithography can be improved by lowering the wavelength of exposure light. ...

The microelectronics industries’ ability to keep pace with Moore’s law (the doubling of the number of transistors per integrated circuit every 18 to 24 months) has been due to advances in the photolithographic process. ...

Rotational dynamics of polymers are studied by both ensemble and single-molecule spectroscopy. Polarized fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is used to measure bulk rotational diffusion of probe molecules ...

The aminium salt initiated cation radical chain cycloaddition polymerization of various oxygenated difunctional monomers is investigated in order to minimize a limiting factor, a competing carbocation pathway, by applying ...
