Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is a polymer widely used in organic photovoltaic devices. Discrepancies in information exist in the literature about its morphological structure in solution and in the solid state. This work ...

Modelling polymers with side chains is always a challenge once the degrees of freedom are very high. In this study, we present a successful methodology to model poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-p-phenylenevinylene] ...

The interaction between NaCl and 1,2-dimethoxyethylene is used to model ion binding to a neutral polymer. The relative binding energies involving different ion-polymer structures were calculated using minimal basis STO-3G ...

We have investigated the fundamental structural properties of conducting thin films formed by implanting gold ions into polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) polymer at 49 eV using a repetitively pulsed cathodic arc plasma gun. ...

Temperature-sensitive polyaspartamide obtained by the aminolysis reaction of polysuccinimide with isopropylamine has been proposed as a good material for biomedical applications. The polymer is susceptible to hydrolysis ...

The glued laminated lumber (glulam) beams technique is an efficient process for making sustainable use of wood. Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) associated with glulam provide significant gains in terms of strength and ...

Abstract: This document defines class names of polymers based on the class names of starting monomers and characteristic features of the chemical constitution of polymer molecules (macromolecules), i.e., class names that ...

Molecular imprinting has become one of the most effective techniques in developing biomimetic material and, within these approaches, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) have proven their potential in synthetic recognition. ...
