Insights on the Atmospheric-Pressure Plasma-Induced Free-Radical Polymerization of Allyl Ether Cyclic Carbonate Liquid Layers
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
Plasma-induced free-radical polymerizations rely on the formation of radical species to initiate polymerization, leading to some extent of monomer fragmentation. In this work, the plasma-induced polymerization of an allyl ...
Experiment and Theory Clarify: Sc+ Receives One Oxygen Atom from SO2 to Form ScO+, which Proves to be a Catalyst for the Hidden Oxygen-Exchange with SO2
(Wiley, 2022-03-04)
[EN] Using Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry, it was experimentally determined that Sc+ in the highly diluted gas phase reacts with SO2 to form ScO+ and SO. By O-18 labeling, ScO+ was shown to ...
Stars, combs and bottlebrushes of elastic single-chain nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
Hierarchical self-assembly of structural elements gives rise to superstructures often with outstanding properties when compared to individual elements, as first observed in nature. While folding of individual synthetic ...
Intra- vs Intermolecular Cross-Links in Poly(methyl methacrylate) Networks Containing Enamine Bonds
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
The molecular dynamics of a copolymer composed of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and (2-acetoacetoxy)ethyl methacrylate (AEMA) monomers and the influence on it of intra-to intermolecular cross-links of AEMA units with ethylenediamine ...
How Aromatic Are Molecular Nanorings? The Case of a Six-Porphyrin Nanoring**
(Wiley, 2021-11-02)
Large conjugated rings with persistent currents are novel promising structures in molecular-scale electronics. A six-porphyrin nanoring structure that allegedly sustained an aromatic ring current involving 78 pi electrons ...
A method to estimate the size of single-chain nanoparticles under severe crowding conditions
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-01-05)
[EN] Single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) result from the folding of isolated polymer chains via intramolecular interactions. Currently, there is no theory able to rationalize the astonishing conformational behaviour of SCNPs ...
Polyether Single and Double Crystalline Blends and the Effect of Lithium Salt on Their Crystallinity and Ionic Conductivity
(MDPI, 2021-06-25)
In this work, blends of Poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and poly(1,6-hexanediol), PHD, were prepared in a wide composition range. They were examined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Polarized Light Optical Microscopy ...
Influence of ice formation on the dynamic and thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions
(Elsevier, 2022-07-15)
Water dynamics in solutions with biological or non-biological solutes has been intensely studied when both components (solvent and solute) are amorphous. Here, we apply broadband dielectric spectroscopy combined with ...
Effect of the valence state on the band magnetocrystalline anisotropy in two-dimensional rare-earth/noble-metal compounds
(American Physical Society, 2022)
[EN] In intermetallic compounds with zero orbital momentum (L = 0) the magnetic anisotropy and the electronic band structure are interconnected. Here, we investigate this connection in divalent Eu and trivalent Gd intermetallic ...
Reducing Passive Drug Diffusion from Electrophoretic DrugDelivery Devices through Co-Ion Engineering
(Wiley, 2021-06)
Implantable electrophoretic drug delivery devices have shown promise for applications ranging from treating pathologies such as epilepsy and cancer to regulating plant physiology. Upon applying a voltage, the devices ...
