Synthesis and Properties of Poly (imide-siloxane) with Reactive Functionalities in Siloxane Segment

Effect of ultraviolet/ozone treatment on the surface and bulk properties of poly(dimethyl siloxane) and poly(vinylmethyl siloxane) networks

We present a comparative study aiming at comprehending the effect of ultraviolet/ozone treatment on the modification of poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) and poly(vinylmethyl siloxane) (PVMS) silicone elastomers networks (SENs). Both PDMS and PVMS SENs undergo dramatic changes in their properties when exposed to UVO. The surface chemical composition of both PDMS and PVMS at long UVO treatment time...

Synthesis and characterization of poly(3-hexylthiophene)-functionalized siloxane nanoparticles.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene)-functionalized siloxane nanoparticles were prepared by a modified Stöber method. The photovoltaic performance of P3HT-nanohybrids with C60 derivative PCBM was evaluated. The device made from 1 : 1 blends of P3HT-NPs:PCBM showed reasonably good photovoltaic performance with a power conversion efficiency of 2.5% under standard test conditions (AM 1.5G, 100 mW cm(-2)).

Poly(Dimethyl Siloxane) Films in Porous Media

Poly (Dimethyl siloxane) thin films were prepared by solvent evaporation method in porous alumina hosts. The thickness of these layers ranged from multilayer to sub-monolayer. Different NMR methods (FFC relaxometry, transverse relaxation, H Double quantum NMR) were applied to study the dynamics and order in these thin films. We found that dynamic restrictions and order increased with decreasing...
