ABSTRACT Highly fluorescent and photostable (2-alkyl)-1H-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-diones with a polymerizable norbornene scaffold have been synthesized and polymerized using ring-opening metathesis polymerization. The monomers presented herein could be polymerized in a living fashion, using different comonomers and different monomer ratios. All obtained materials showed good film-forming p...

Nitrogen-doped thiophene plasma polymer [N-ThioPP] thin films were deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method. Thiophene was used as organic precursor (carbon source) with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, nitrogen gas [N2] was used as nitrogen dopant. Furthermore, additional argon was used as a carrier gas. The as-grown poly...

In these lecture notes, we give an overview about non-local field-theories and their application to polymerized membranes, i.e. membranes with a fixed internal connectivity. The main technical tool is the multi-local operator product expansion (MOPE), generalizing ideas from local field theories to the multi-local situation. These notes are largely inspired by: Kay Wiese, “Polymerized membranes...

A novel Brönsted-Lewis acidic heteropoly organic-inorganic salt has been prepared via the replacement of protons in neat phosphotungstic acid with both organic and metal cations. This hybrid catalyst, Sm0.33[TEAPS]2PW12O40, exhibited satisfactory performance in the dimerization of rosin to prepare polymerized rosin Under optimum conditions (15.0 g rosin and 5.0 g Sm0.33[TEAPS]2PW12O40 catalyst ...

New drug delivery systems for wound healing applications based on α/β/γ-cyclodextrin (α/β/γ-CD) acrylic (A) and styrenic (S) monomers have been synthesized co-polymerized with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) via a cryo-polymerization technique.

Graphene/polyaniline composite nanosheets can be prepared with the aid of polymerized ionic liquid, and both individual nanosheets and stable aqueous dispersions of the nanosheets can be obtained.
