Production of functionalized oligo‐isoprenoids by enzymatic cleavage of rubber
Microbial Biotechnology, 2017 Summary In this study, we show the proof of concept for the production of defined oligo‐isoprenoids with terminal functional groups that can be used as starting materials for various purposes including the synthesis of isoprenoid‐based plastics.

Structural characterization of the Fddd phase in a diblock copolymer thin film by electron microtomography [PDF]
A 3-dimensional Fddd network structure of a polystyrene-block-polyisoprene (PS-b-PI) diblock copolymer (M(n) = 31 500, f(PI) = 0.645) was observed for the first time in real space by transmission electron microtomography (TEMT). In a 650 nm thick film of

Failure of classical elasticity in auxetic foams
, 2012 A recent derivation [P.H. Mott and C.M. Roland, Phys. Rev. B 80, 132104 (2009).] of the bounds on Poisson's ratio, v, for linearly elastic materials showed that the conventional lower limit, -1, is wrong, and that v cannot be less than 0.2 for classical ...
