چکیده
A novel photo-switching system based on fluorescent polymer nanotubes incorporating spirooxazine molecules has been designed. Reversible photoluminescence modulation of up to 60% has been shown in individual nanotubes subjected to repeated photo-conversion cycles.

Photochromic spiropyran- and spirooxazine-homopolymers in mesoporous thin films by surface initiated ROMP
The control of ionic permselectivity in porous films is an interesting aspect in the context of lab-on-chip devices and m-electronics. Especially, visible light triggered ionic permselectivity control is of relevance because control by light can be maintained externally without changing internal system parameters. In addition, light is a sustainable energy source if sunlight is used. Here, we p...
متن کاملElectronic interaction in composites of a conjugated polymer and carbon nanotubes: first-principles calculation and photophysical approaches
The mechanisms that control the photophysics of composite films made of a semiconducting conjugated polymer (poly(paraphenylene vinylene), PPV) mixed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) up to a concentration of 64 wt % are determined by using photoexcitation techniques and density functional theory. Charge separation is confirmed experimentally by rapid quenching of PPV photoluminescence...

متن کاملInterplay of reversible chain transfer and comonomer incorporation reactions in coordination copolymerization of ethylene/1–hexene
Coordinative chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) has opened a new path for the development of novel products like olefin block copolymers and chain-end functional polyolefins. However, conflicting results are frequently reported on the catalyst performance including activity and comonomer selectivity under CCTP conditions. Here we have selected two catalysts including rac-ethylenebis(1-η5-inde...
متن کاملThe Effect of Simultaneous Incorporation of PTFE Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes on the Tribological Behavior of Ni-P Coating
In some engineering fields, wear resistance and a low friction coefficient are required at the sametime. In this research, PTFE nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes were co-deposited within Ni-Pmatrix to obtain an Ni-P-PTFE-CNT hybrid coating for wear resistance and a low friction coefficient.The tribological properties of the deposits were evaluated by pin on disc tribometer. T...
