Cyclopenta[c]selenophene-(CH(2)OMe)(2) has been synthesized by a new synthetic approach, successfully electrochemically polymerized and studied by spectroelectrochemistry.

The shape fluctuations and the stability of polymerized vesicles are investigated within the framework of shell theory. The intrinsic curvature of the vesicle leads to an enhanced coupling betwecn bending and stretching modes which acts to suppress the shape fluctuations on large scales. This effect is explicitly calculated for a cylindrical shape of the vesicle. For a cylinder

We report on the universal fabrication of Janus microparticles from a wide variety of organic and inorganic components. The Janus particle fabrication described in this study details the synthesis of the highly cross-linked polymer nanocoatings on top of the partially embedded particles via plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Here we conducted the plasma enhanced polymerization of differ...

BACKGROUND Chairside softliners are used more frequently than is reported and studies regarding the bond strength of chairside softliners to heat-polymerized denture base resin are few and limited. Hence, this study was conducted to comparatively evaluate the shear bond strength of two chairside soft relining materials viz., autopolymerizing plasticized acrylic resin liner and a silicone-based ...

Dispersion of graphene sheets in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate was successfully achieved with the aid of a polymerized ionic liquid (PIL).

Chemical grafting of Polyaniline (PAni) and chitosan (CS) as has been carried out with formaldehyde as grafting agent and ammonium persulfate as an initiator. For this reason aniline monomers were copolymerized with chitosan and were chemically polymerized. The synthesized copolymer was Characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Visible, scanning electron microscopy ...
