Improving charge transport in poly(3‐hexylthiophene) transistors via blending with an alkyl‐substituted phenylene–thiophene–thiophene–phenylene molecule

A prototypical semiconducting bicomponent system consisting of a conjugated polymer, that is, poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT), blended with a small thiophene containing conjugated molecule, that is, an alkyl‐substituted bisphenyl‐bithiophene [phenylene–thiophene–thiophene–phenylene (PTTP)], has been used as an electroactive active layer in field‐effect transistors (FETs). The self‐assembly of this bicomponent system at surfaces has been studied at different length scales, from the nanoscale to the macroscale, and compared with the behavior of monocomponent films of PTTP and P3HT. The correlation between morphology and electric properties of the semiconducting material is explored by fabricating prototypes of FETs varying the relative concentrations of the two‐component blend. The maximum charge carrier mobility value, achieved with a few percent of PTTP component, is not simply due to a uniform dispersion of the molecules in the polymer matrix, but rather to the generation of very long percolation paths, whose composition and electrical properties can be tuned with the PTTP concentration. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hypernuclear physics at \overline{\mbox{P}} anda

Samples obtained as a result of the valleriite synthesis process under different conditions (temperature and proportion Cu:Fe:Mg in the initial mixture) were investigated by ⁵⁷Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy with attraction data of X-ray diffraction. Parameters of hyperfine interactions for valleriite were determined and crystal chemical identification of ⁵⁷Fe subspectra was carried out. It was found that valleriite was formed in samples synthesized at 150°C and 180°C and not formed in samples synthesized at 250°C.     

Intermolecular Domino Reaction of Two Aryl Iodides Involving Two CH Functionalizations

Semiclassical matrix model for quantum chaotic transport with time-reversal symmetry

We show that the semiclassical approach to chaotic quantum transport in the presence of time-reversal symmetry can be described by a matrix model. In other words, we construct a matrix integral whose perturbative expansion satisfies the semiclassical diagrammatic rules for the calculation of transport statistics. One of the virtues of this approach is that it leads very naturally to the semiclassical derivation of universal predictions from random matrix theory.     

TELOMERISATION PAR CATALYSE REDOX IX ADDITION DE TELOGENES PHOSPHORES SUR DES COMPOSES POSSEDANT DEUX DOUBLES LIAISONS NON CONJUGUEES

Abstract

The synthesis of telechelic oligomers with phosphorated end groups was realized by redox catalysis telomerization reaction by addition of phosphorated telogens containing a trichloromethyl group on monomers with two non-conjugated double bonds.

Crosslinked Networks Based on Polysaccharides and Collagen for Pilocarpine Sustained Release

The paper presents the experimental studies regarding synthesis and characterization of hydrogels based on gellan (Gel)/chitosan (CS) and collagen (Col), obtained by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GLA). The influence of the polysaccharide content and GLA ratio on the final composition and swelling characteristics was evaluated. Hydrogels swelling analysis, in distilled water and phosphate buffer (PBS, pH 7.2) has shown higher swelling degrees at increased concentration of polysaccharide into hydrogels. In vitro release of pilocarpine has demonstrated the possibility to use gellan-collagen and chitosan-collagen hydrogels as ophthalmic drug delivery matrix.
