application of polymers in novel and advanced scientific technologies is increasingly expanding. in this regard, optical polymers among different materials have found a special and unique position. a novel dye doped polymer thin film was prepared by taking advantage of dye molecules' interaction with the host environment. this sample, like self-assembled structures, makes use of this inter...

isotactic poly (1-butene), ipbu-1, was synthesized by using a metallocene catalyst. the thermodynamic phase behavior of polymer–organic solvents systems is very important in every polymer application.  in this paper, the solid–liquid equilibrium of ipbu-1 with different organic solvents (1-heptyne, cyclo octane) was studied by a mathematical model. by considering the experiments temperature-mol...

the purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize nimodipine loaded microspheres using ethyl cellulose (ec) as a carrier polymer through an emulsion solvent evaporation method. these evaluations characterized the pattern of drug release from prepared microspheres. nimodipin loaded microspheres were prepared using an emulsification solvent evaporation method. the effect of process variab...

a number of redox-active coordination polymers (cps) or metal-organic frameworks (mofs) have been successfully synthesized using transition metals and bridging ligands. this article aims to deal with gathering the aforementioned disperse issues regarding the electroactive cps. it also goes towards illustrating the effects of various factors on the electrochemical behavior of cps including natur...

thin films of polymer doped with nonlinear optical organic dye, disperse red 1, at thickness of 1 to 2 micrometers, were prepared and studied. in order to induce an axial and orientational alignment of dye molecules within polymer matrix, a contact electric field poling was used. by this process the inherent inversion symmetry in the polymer matrix was eliminated to achieve the desired macrosco...

Recent advances in inkjet-printed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on organic semiconductor/insulating polymer blends are reviewed in this article. Organic semiconductor/insulating polymer blends are attractive ink candidates for enhancing the jetting properties, inducing uniform film morphologies, and/or controlling crystallization behaviors of organic semiconductors. Representat...

Here we report the first demonstration for centro-apical self-organization of organic semiconductors in a line-printed organic semiconductor: polymer blend. Key feature of this work is that organic semiconductor molecules were vertically segregated on top of the polymer phase and simultaneously crystallized at the center of the printed line pattern after solvent evaporation without an additive ...
