Phase Behavior of Ternary Polymer Brushes

open access: yes, 2016
Ternary polymer brushes consisting of polystyrene, poly­(methyl methacrylate), and poly­(4-vinylpyridine) have been synthesized. These brushes laterally phase separate into several distinct phases and can be tailored by altering the relative polymer ...

Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

open access: yesEcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

Thermal Conductivity of Bottle–Brush Polymers

open access: yesLangmuir
Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a generic model, we investigate heat propagation in bottle--brush polymers (BBP). An architecture is referred to as a BBP when a linear (backbone) polymer is grafted with the side chains of different length $N_{\rm s}$ and grafting density $ρ_{\rm g}$, which control the bending stiffness of a backbone. A BBP
