Star-Shaped Conjugated Systems

  • Heiner Detert,
  • Matthias Lehmann and
  • Herbert Meier

19 May 2010

The present review deals with the preparation and the properties of star-shaped conjugated compounds. Three, four or six conjugated arms are attached to cross-conjugated cores, which consist of single atoms (B, C+, N), benzene or azine rings or polyc...

A Green Method for Processing Polymers using Dense Gas Technology

  • Roshan B. Yoganathan,
  • Raffaella Mammucari and
  • Neil R. Foster

11 May 2010

Dense CO2 can be used as an environmentally-benign polymer processing medium because of its liquid-like densities and gas-like mass transfer properties.In this work, polymer bio-blends of polycarbonate (PC), a biocompatible polymer, and polycaprolact...

  • Malte Leisner,
  • Ala Cojocaru and
  • Jürgen Carstensen

7 May 2010

Pores in single crystalline semiconductors come in many forms (e.g., pore sizes from 2 nm to > 10 µm; morphologies from perfect pore crystal to fractal) and exhibit many unique properties directly or as nanocompounds if the pores are filled. The vari...
