Poly(organophosphazene)s and the sol–gel technique
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-05)
We report a survey of the utilization of phosphazene materials in combination with metal alkoxide precursors to form ceramics through the sol–gel technique. Silicon, titanium, zirconium and aluminum three-dimensional oxide ...
Triple Junction Mobility: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-11)
We present a molecular dynamics simulation study of the migration of individual grain boundary triple junctions. The simulation cell was designed to achieve steady state migration. Observations of the triple junction angle ...
Polyhedral liquid crystal silsesquioxanes
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-04)
Synthetic routes towards monodisperse polyhedral liquid-crystalline silsesquioxanes are described. The liquid-crystalline phase behaviour of these structurally uniform materials, with various silsesquioxane core and mesogenic ...
Cyclic siloxanes and silsesquioxanes as cores and frameworks for the construction of ferrocenyl dendrimers and polymers
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-04)
Starting from 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane as core, novel ferrocenyl silicon-containing dendrimers have been constructed up to the third generation, which contains 16 peripheral ferrocene moieties. As precursors ...
The effect of spacer length on the polymerization of diacetylenes in sams on gold surfaces
(WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 1999-08)
The influence of the molecular architecture of diacetylene disulfides on the structure and polymerizability of self assembled monolayers on gold was investigated. The position of the diacetylene group was varied systematically ...
Synthesis and characterization of cage and bicyclic silsesquioxanes via dehydration of silanols
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-04)
Synthesis of cage and ladder silsesquioxanes by the dehydration of silanols using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) is described. The reaction of 1,3-dicyclohexyldisiloxane-1,1,3,3-tetraol with DCC gave octa(cyclohexylsilsesquioxane) ...
Chemical extraction of indigo from Indigofera tinctoria while attaining biological integrity
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-08)
Indigofera tinctoria was permeabilized with 20% methanol (v/v) at 25 °C and released 8±2 μg indigo g −1 dry plant material (excluding roots). This is equivalent to 42±11% of the total indican within the cells. The plants ...
Functionalized polyhedral oligosilsesquioxane (POSS) macromers: new graftable POSS hydride, POSS α-olefin, POSS epoxy, and POSS chlorosilane macromers and POSS–siloxane triblocks
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-04)
A series of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) monomers bearing silane or α-olefin substituents have been prepared and their chemistry explored. Both the POSS silanes and α-olefin monomers readily participate in ...
Sonogels and derived materials
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1999-05)
Nowadays the sol–gel process is used by an increasing number of researchers for the preparation of various products, including bulk materials, films, membranes or fibers. The application of ultrasound (sonocatalysis) to ...
