High-molecular-weight (co) polymers of trimethylene carbonate and D, L-lactide are efficiently crosslinked using PETA during gamma irradiation. Form-stable networks with gel contents of 86 +/- 5 to 96 +/- 1 are obtained from non-crystalline (co) polymers. Glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli of the networks can be varied by adjusting the copolymer composition. The PETA-containing (co) polymer networks are not cytotoxic. Upon incubation in macrophage cultures for 14 d, all (co) polymer films and PETA-containing network films erode to varying extents, showing that these materials can be degraded by cell-mediated erosion processes. This method is very useful for the facile preparation of TMC- and DLLA-containing form-stable networks from high-molecular-weight polymers.

CONDUCTIVE PROPERTIES OF POLY(4-VINYLPYRIDINE) POLY(DIMETHYLSILOXANE) BLOCK-COPOLYMERS DOPED WITH TETRACYANOQUINODIMETHANE NUGAY, N; KUCUKYAVUZ, Z; KUCUKYAVUZ, S (Elsevier BV, 1993-01-01) Poly(4-vinylpyridine)-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (P4VP-PDMS) block copolymers with various compositions were prepared by anionic polymerization. The 4VP block was quaternized with methyl iodide and reacted with 7,7',8,8'-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), which is in both anion radical (TCNQ-.) and neutral form (TCNQ0). The products were then characterized by H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. ...

Effect of substituents in sulfoxides on the enhancement of thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS: experimental and modelling evidence Zhu, Qiang; Yıldırım, Erol; Wang, Xizu; Kyaw, Aung Ko Ko; Tang, Tao; Soo, Xiang Yun Debbie; Wong, Zicong Marvin; Wu, Gang; Yang, Shuo-Wang; Xu, Jianwei (2020-06-01) Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), being the most popular conductive polymer, has been doped with various additives with the aim of improving its thermoelectric performance. Among all additives, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been widely used for various treatments. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of aliphatic- and aromatic-substituted sulfoxides as dopants to improve the thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS. It was found that the substituents in the sul...
Synthesis, characterization, and electrochemistry of tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2 '-bipyridine)tungsten(0) Edinc, Pelin; Oenal, Ahmet M.; Özkar, Saim (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-15) 6-Ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (fcbpy) was prepared by the reaction of lithiated ferrocene with bipyridine and employed as a bidentate ligand for the formation of tetracarbonyl(6-ferrocenyl-2,2'-bipyridine)tungsten(0). The labile complex pentacarbonyl[eta(2)-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne]tungsten(0) reacts with fcbpy in CH2Cl2 to yield the disubstitution product, W(CO)(4)(fcbpy), which was isolated as analytically pure substance and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Vis, MS, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscop...
