• On-off temperature sensing with graphene oxide

  Researchers in Korea have developed a new temperature sensing platform based on graphene oxide (GO). The sensor uses GO’s functionality as an efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor to deliver a fast optical on-off signal in response to temperature change. Research describes how more

• Do you see the complete picture?
  

  Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) or also named size exclusion chromatography (SEC) is the most often used method for determining the molecular weight of natural and synthetic macromolecules. One specific strength of this method lies in the fact that by the separation process the whole molecular weight distribution is obtained. The molecular weight distribution contains much larger information for the characterization of polymer samples compared to a single value. more

• New Silicone Technologies for Skin Care
  

  In today's competitive skin care market, consumers look for a range of benefits, superior aesthetics and cost effectiveness. In response, formulators strive to create products that are multifunctional, easy to use and effective in small quantities. At the same time, the most successful products deliver benefits that stand out from those of the competition. Creams, lotions and color cosmetics must be easy to spread and comfortable to wear, without feeling tacky or greasy. Silicones have been popular ingredients in skin care products for more than fifty years. These versatile materials are known for their emolliency, wetting and spreading characteristics and ability to provide unique aesthetics. As technology continues to evolve, silicones increasingly offer multifunctional, high performance properties. This article reviews some of the newest silicone technologies available for the formulation of innovative skin care products more

• Two-dimensional self-assembly of diblock copolymers into nanoscopic aggregates: from dots to disks, then rings, and finally short and long rods

  This paper presents a simple strategy that enables the two-dimensional self-assembly of an amphiphilic polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA) diblock copolymer into a variety of nanoscopic aggregates to proceed on a solid substrate. After being made by dripping several drops of PS-b more

• Dispersion of Al2O3 Nanoparticles with Mussel-Inspired Amphiphilic Copolymers in Organic Solvents and Formation of Hierarchic Porous Films by the Breath Figure Technique

  Hierarchic porous inorganic materials have attracted much attention, due to their large surface area and fast substance diffusion. We have prepared hierarchic porous films composed of Al203 nanoparticles (NPs) by using the breath figure technique. The Al203 NPs were stabilized using an amphiphilic c more

• Synthesis and reactivity ratios of regioisomeric vinyl‐1,2,3‐triazoles with styrene

  ABSTRACT The free radical reactivity ratios between styrene and different vinyl‐1,2,3‐triazole regioisomeric monomers in 1,4‐dioxane at 65 °C have been established using nonlinear least square method. The results obtained for the reactivity ratio between regioisomers show exceptionally different more
