This study presented the effects of carrier-transporting layer (CTL) on electroluminescence (EL) performance a blue phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes (PHOLEDs) with electron transporting host based three kinds electron-transporting layers (ETLs) including 3-(4-biphenyl-yl)-4-phenyl-5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole (TAZ), diphenyl-bis[4-(pyridin-3-yl)phenyl]silane (DPPS) and 1,3,...

In this article, various design configurations of luminescent solar concentrator photovoltaic (LSC-PV) devices have been simulated using Monte Carlo raytracing. These LSC PV are composed mono-crystalline silicon cells and cubical poly (methyl methacrylate) lightguides, each containing one the following dyes: Lumogen F Red 305, Orange 240, Perylene Green, or Perylene-diimide di-tert-butylphenyl,...

This study is aimed at evaluating the performance of tetrakismethylene-3-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl propionate methane S1010, tris2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl phosphite S1680 and ascorbic acid AA antioxidants in stabilization of hydroxypropyl cellulose HPC. For this purpose, a number of films with weight percent ratios of 0.4 w/w were prepared in a 1 isopropanol solution w/v. Then, the films ...

A uniform dispersion of highly soluble phosphorescent dendrimer emitters is achieved by blending with a polymer host poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) containing N,N0-diphenyl-N, N0-(bis(3-methylphenyl)-[1,1-biphenyl]-4,40-diamine (TPD) and 2-(4-biphen-40-yl)-5-(4tert-butylphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (PBD). No visible aggregation or self-quenching was observed for guest-to-host weight ratios of up to 3...

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is an efficient method to obtain information about the spin densities in organic radicals containing a heteroatom and, when used in conjonction with ab initio calculations, this spectroscopy can yield a precise description of the structure of these species. In the present study, our purpose is to compare the spin delocalization on the following three parama...

1,4-Di-(1-Ar-o-carboran-2-yl)benzene (Ar = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (1), phenyl (2), 4-n-butylphenyl (3), 4-N,N-dimethylaniline (4)) compounds that are electronically modulated at the C1-position of o-carborane with the electron-withdrawing or -donating aryl groups were prepared and characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of 1, 3, and 4 reveal that the two aryl groups on the C1-carbor...

The reaction of MgBu2, ZnEt2 or Ca(O(i)Pr)2 with 2 eq. of three-coordinating N-[methyl(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)]-N-methyl-N-methyl-1,3-oxolaneamine (mpoa-H) or N-[methyl(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)]-N-methyl-N-methyl-1,3-oxolaneamine (tbpoa-H) gave neutral, monomeric [Mg(mpoa)2], [Zn(mpoa)2], [Zn(tbpoa)2], and [Ca(tbpoa)2] as white powders in 58-90% yields. The resulting aminophenol...

BACKGROUND Epoxy resin systems (ERSs), consisting of resins, reactive diluents, and hardeners, are indispensable in many branches of industry. In order to develop less sensitizing ERS formulations, knowledge of the sensitizing properties of single components is mandatory. OBJECTIVES To analyse the frequency of sensitization in the patients concerned, as one integral part of a research project...
