These CO2-philic open-chain organophosphorous chelating ligands, i.e. diethylene glycol bis (2, 4, 4-trimethyl-1-pentyl) dimethyl diphosphate (EG2TP), diethylene glycol bis (3, 5, 5-trimethyl-1-hexyl) dimethyl diphosphate (EG2TH), and diethylene glycol dioctyl dimethyl diphosphate (EG2Oct), ethylene glycol bis(2-isopropoxyethyl) dimethyl diphosphate (EG2IPE), triethylene glycol bis(2-isopropoxy...

This paper describes the effectiveness of donor–acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers to disperse and select for semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) when enhanced by inclusion polar oligoethylene glycol-based side chains, without altering D–A backbone. We designed synthesized two sets naphthalenediimide(NDI)-alt-bithiophene(T2)-based with one alkyl chains (decyl dodecyl chains...

A mechanically strong binder with polar functional groups could overcome the dilemma of large volume change during charge/discharge processes and poor cyclability lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs). In this work, for first time, we report use poly(thiourea triethylene glycol) (PTTG) as a multifunctional sulfur cathodes to enhance performance LSBs. As expected, PTTG facilitates high stability deliv...

The effect of various dimethacrylates on the structure and properties of homo- and copolymer networks was studied. The 2,2-bis-[4-(2-hydroxy-3- methacryloyloxypropoxy)phenyl]-propane) (Bis-GMA), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and 1,6-bis-(methacryloyloxy-2-ethoxycarbonylamino)-2,4,4-trimethylhexane (HEMA/TMDI), all popular in dentistry, as well as five urethane-dimethacrylate (UDMA)...
