Intermediate Species in the Polymerization of Isocyanides

Photochemical Isomerization and Topochemical Polymerization of the Programmed Asymmetric Amphiphiles

For the advancement in multi-stimuli responsive optical devices, we report the elaborate molecular engineering of the dual photo-functionalized amphiphile (abbreviated as AZ1DA) containing both a photo-isomerizable azobenzene and a photo-polymerizable diacetylene. To achieve the efficient photochemical reactions in thin solid films, the self-assembly of AZ1DA molecules into the ordered phases s...

Post-Irradiation Polymerization of a Silorane Composite

Cellular response of CHO-K1 cells to X-ray irradiation under different states of oxygenation

Introduction Hypoxia is known to contribute to resistance to radiation therapy directly by depriving of oxygen or indirectly by promoting tumour cells malignant progression.[1] To investigate the mechanism of the radiation sensitivity of hypoxic cells to low LET irradiation, experiments of cell survival and cell cycle distribution of CHO-K1 cells under different states of oxygenation were perfo...

Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization of Acrylonitrile under Irradiation of Blue LED Light

Compared to unhealthy UV or γ-ray and high-energy-consumption thermal external stimuli, the promising light emitting diode (LED) external stimulus has some outstanding technological merits such as narrow wavelength distribution, low heat generation and energy consumption, and safety for human beings. In this work, a novel reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization system f...
