Abstract
Two isotactic polypropylene (iPP) samples (PP‐A and PP‐B) were obtained by utilizing two different heterogeneous Ziegler–Natta catalysts in a given polymerization system. The molecular structure and conformational behavior of the samples were studied. The results of determination of xylene soluble material (XS) and 13C NMR showed that the average isotacticity of the samples were nearly same. However, the results of high‐resolution high‐temperature 13C NMR (HRHT 13C NMR) and successive self‐nucleation and annealing (SSA) fractionation revealed that the amount of high isotacticity of PP‐B was lower than that of PP‐A, and the amount of relative medium and low isotacticity of PP‐B was higher than PP‐A, indicating that the stereodefect distribution of PP‐B was more uniform than PP‐A. The calculation of average meso sequence length from SSA was found to be in good agreement with that calculated from the results of HRHT 13C NMR. Moreover, Fourier transformation infrared was utilized to study the influence of stereodefect distribution on the conformational behavior of iPP. The result suggested that the molecular conformation of the PP‐B was more disordered than PP‐A, the regularity of molecular structure for PP‐B was lower than that of PP‐A. The related action mechanism and the influences of which on crystallization behavior were discussed. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012

Vesicle‐Mediated Growth of Tubular Branches and Centimeter‐Long Microtubes from a Single Molecule
Abstract The mechanism by which small molecules assemble into microscale tubular structures in aqueous solution remains poorly understood, particularly when the initial building blocks are non‐amphiphilic molecules and no surfactant is used. It is here shown how a subnanometric molecule ... more
The image illustrates a natural phenomenon of droplet formation caused by the condensation of vapor on a nonwettable surface at temperature below the dew point. Real‐time observing the light scattered from the droplets may lead to a new mechanism for vapor sensing. However, the dew point ... more
NO is a key vasodilator in mammalian cardiovascular systems and has been shown to sensitize tissue to γ‐radiation. However, photochemical NO precursors that can be activated by these NIR wavelengths are extremely limited. G. D. Stucky, D. Zhao, P. C. Ford, F. Zhang and co‐workers have ad ... more
Bioengineers Succeed in Producing Plastic Without the use of Fossil Fuels
A team of pioneering South Korean scientists have succeeded in producing the polymers used for everyday plastics through bioengineering, rather than through the use of fossil fuel based chemicals. This groundbreaking research, which may now allow for the production of environmentally consci ... more
In the past, restoration of paintings and other old artwork often involved application of acrylic resins to consolidate and protect them. One of the most important tasks for modern restorers is thus to remove these layers, because it turns out that acrylic resins not only drastically change ... more
Is trash the solution to tackling climate change?
Converting the trash that fills the world's landfills into biofuel may be the answer to both the growing energy crisis and to tackling carbon emissions, claim scientists in Singapore and Switzerland. New research published in Global Change Biology: Bioenergy, reveals how replacing gasoline ... more
