Alkyl-substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) cage is combined with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene under the same roof. The corresponding monomer called EDOT-POSS is used to get soluble poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT-POSS) analogue. Both chemically and electrochemically obtained polymers are soluble in common organic solvents like dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, and so forth. The PEDOT-POSS has somewhat higher band gap (1.71 eV at 618 nm) than its parent PEDOT (1.60 eV at 627 nm) and as expected the PEDOT-POSS exhibits higher optical contrast (74% at 618 nm) and coloration efficiency (582 cm(2)/C for 100% switching), lower switching time (0.9 s), higher electrochemical stability (93% of its electroactivity retains after 5000 cycles under ambient conditions) when compared to the PEDOT. A number of advantages of the PEDOT-POSS over the PEDOT can make it a promising material in the areas of electro-optical applications. (C) 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparative Study of the Mechanical Properties of Fiber-Reinforced Denture Base Resin
KÖROĞLU, AYŞEGÜL; Ozdemir, Tonguc; Usanmaz, Ali (Wiley, 2009-07-15)
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is used for removable prostheses. However, PMMA denture base resin does not meet all the mechanical requirements of prostheses. The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the transverse strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact strength values of nonreinforced heat-polymerized and microwave-polymerized denture base resin with those of denture base resin reinforced with continuous unidirectional E-glass, woven E-glass, and ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers. ...
Designing a Solution Processable Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene) Analogue
Ertan, Salih; CİHANER, ATİLLA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018-11-13)
A new derivative (EDOS-POSS) of 3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene integrated with alkyl-substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) cage was synthesized and characterized. The electroactive monomer was successfully polymerized via both chemical and electrochemical methods. The obtained polymer called PEDOS-POSS was solution-processable and soluble in common organic solvents like tetrahydrofuran, toluene, dichloromethane, and chloroform. PEDOS-POSS polymer exhibited electrochromic behavior: pure blue ...
CONDUCTING PROPERTIES OF IODINE-DOPED POLY(4-VINYLPYRIDINE)-POLY(DIMETHYLSILOXANE) BLOCK-COPOLYMERS
NUGAY, N; KUCUKYAVUZ, Z; KUCUKYAVUZ, S (Elsevier BV, 1994-01-01)
Block copolymers of various compositions, consisting of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) blocks, were prepared by anionic polymerization. These samples were modified by the addition of various amounts of iodine in solution. The electrical conductivities of the doped materials were measured by the four-probe method and were found to be as high as 10(-5) S cm(-1). The optimum ratio of iodine to pyridine which gave the highest conductivity was determined.
An experimental study of the dipole moment of poly(dimethylsiloxane)
Küçükyavuz, Z; ALGHEZAWI, N (Elsevier BV, 1990-1)
The mean-square dipole moments of poly(dimethylsiloxane) chains have been determined from dielectric constant measurements on dilute solutions of the polymer in toluene and carbon tetrachloride at temperatures in the range 10–60°C. The temperature coefficient of the dipole moment ratio in toluene was found to be positive, qualitatively in agreement with the prediction of rotational isomeric state theory. The values of the mean-square dipole moment in carbon tetrachloride are higher than in toluene indicatin...
On the possibility of Si-60 structure - An AM1 treatment
Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 1999-01-01)
A semiempirical treatment at the level of AMI type calculations has been carried out for Si-60 structure and compared with C-60 It has been found that Si-60 is more endothermic and thus less stable. Moreover, silicon substitutional doping on the periphery of hexagonal rings is more destabilizing than the I:ase involving periphery of the pentagonal rings in the structure of C-60.
