Synthesis and Characterization of Py(PCL), Py(PLLA) Homopolymers and Py(PCL‐b‐PLLA) Copolymer via Ring‐Opening Polymerization: Determination of Structural, Optical, and Biocompatible Properties

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work investigates by the ROP process the chemical structure, thermal, optical and biocompatibility with living cells of the pyrene‐functionalized Py(PCL), Py(PLLA) homopolymers, and Py(PCL‐b‐PLLA) copolymers. It thoroughly confirms their stability, great fluorescence, and capacity to support MCF‐7 cell growth.

Chemical Vapor Deposition of High‐Quality Graphene Using Carboxylated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons as Solid Carbon Sources

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Graphene is grown from pyrene and its carboxylated derivative, 1‐pyrenecarboxylic acid (1‐PCA). The carboxylic acid group of 1‐PCA underwent decarboxylation to produce pyrene and CO2, thereby triggering the Boudouard reaction. This reaction results in graphene with high charge‐carrier mobility by decreasing vacancy‐type defects and oxygen groups in the
