چکیده

Single crystals of three-dimensional (3D) C60 polymer were prepared by the topotactic conversion of two-dimensional (2D) C60 polymer single crystals at a pressure of 15 GPa at 600 degrees C. The x-ray single crystal study revealed that the 3D C60 polymer crystallized in a body centered orthorhombic space group Immm, and spherical C60 monomer units were substantially deformed to rectangular parallelepiped (cuboidal) shapes, each unit being bonded to eight cuboidal C60 neighbors via [3 + 3] cycloaddition. The 3D C60 polymer was electron conductive, in contrast with the nonconductive behavior of 2D polymers.

Synthesis and Characterization of Three-dimensional Polymer Produced by Mutual Condensation of Ethylenediamine and C60

The polymer with contents of C60 up to 57 wt.% was produced by mutual condensation of fullerene C60 and ethylenediamine. The investigations of this polymer as well as pristine fullerene to comparison were carried out by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, ToF-SIMS, TGA, and elemental analysis. At least three kinds of components was revealed as building blocks of polymer. The fullerene cage underwent...

A fullerene–single wall carbon nanotube complex for polymer bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cells

A novel immobilized fullerene–single wall carbon nanotube (C60–SWCNT) complex was synthesized via a microwave induced functionalization approach. It has been used as a component of the photoactive layer in a bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cell. As compared to a control device with only C60, the addition of SWCNTs resulted in an improvement of both the short circuit current density JSC and the...

Investigating the Effects of Cut-Out Shield on High-Energy Electron Fields Using MAGIC Normoxic Polymer Gel

Introduction The use of cut-outs in electron applicators make changes on output, isodose, and percentage depth dose (PDD) curves. These changes and electron beam dose distribution in the form of three-dimensional (3D) can be measured by gel dosimeters. Materials and Methods Dosimetry was performed with and without a square shield (6×6 cm2 field). The energies were 4, 9, and 16 MeV and phantom w...
