A series of novel aromatic polyamides with pendent 4,40-dimethoxy-substituted triphenylamine (TPA) units were prepared via the direct phosphorylation polycondensation from a new dicarboxylic acid monomer, N,N-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)-N0,N0-di(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-phenylenediamine (4), and various aromatic diamines. These polyamides were amorphous with good solubility in many organic solvents, such ...

Poly(2-nonyl-2-oxazoline)80-stat-poly(2-dec-91-enyl-2-oxazoline)20 and poly(2-dec-91-enyl2-oxazoline)100 can be synthesized from the cationic ring-opening polymerization of monomers that can be derived from fatty acids from renewable resources. These (co)poly(2-oxazoline)s can be crosslinked with diand trifunctional mercapto compounds using the UV-induced thiol-ene reaction. The complex permitt...

Force-based ligand detection is a promising method to characterize molecular complexes label-free at physiological conditions. Because conventional implementations of this technique, e.g., based on atomic force microscopy or optical traps, are low-throughput and require extremely sensitive and sophisticated equipment, this approach has to date found only limited application. We present a low-co...
