Pattern generation of well-controlled block copolymers (BCPs) with a high Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ) is important for applications in sub-20 nm nanolithography. We used mixed solvents of dimethylformamide (DMF) and toluene to control the morphology as well as the time to achieve the targeted morphology via self-assembly of BCPs. By precisely controlling the volume ratio of DMF and ...

attempts have been made for the first time to produce a friction material with thermal sensitive modulus by the inclusion of combined plastic/rubber properties of thermoplastic elastomers (tpe) as viscoelastic polymeric materials into the formulation for the purpose of increasing the damping behavior. in order to evaluate the viscoelastic parameters such as loss factor (tan δ) and elastic modul...

Starting from 4-chlorobenzoic acid, 10 new 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-substituted-N-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide derivatives were synthesized in six-steps. Esterification of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with methanol and subsequent hydrazination, salt formation and cyclization afforded 5-(4-chlorophen-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (5). Conversion of this intermediate into sulfonyl chloride 6, followed by ...

Platinum(II) catalyzes the isomerization of camphor sulfonamide diynes in a cascade reaction involving annulation of a five-membered ring to the camphor skeleton, ring-enlargement by C-C bond cleavage, reduction of sulfur(VI) to sulfur(IV), and oxidation of a hydroxy group to a ketone. The reactions of the diynes with other transition metal compounds were also studied. Copper, gold and rhenium ...

Phytochemical based synthesis of palladium nanoparticles by bioreduction of medicinally potent plant extract Coleus amboinicus is investigated in the present study. Treatment of palladium chloride with Coleus amboinicus extract resulted in the formation of palladium nanoparticles. The formation of palladium nanoparticles were confirmed using UV-vis, FTIR, TEM and XRD. Polyols such as flavones, ...

To investigate the influence of a potentially N4-tripodal amine ligand on the structure and internal exchange processes of its complexes with late transition metals, five rhodium, six palladium and two platinum complexes have been prepared from seven alkyl-bridged N-heterocyclic amine tripodal ligands: tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, (2-(2-pyridylethyl))bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, bis(2-(2-pyridylet...

Herein, we describe the use of single-ion conducting block copolymer (SIC) as an additional lithium salt additive to a ternary solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), consisting poly(styrene-b-1-((2-acryloyloxy)ethyl)-3-butylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfo-nyl)imide) (S-ImTFSI64-16) copolymer, N-propyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (C3mpyrFSI) ionic liquid (IL) and bis(fluorosul...
