Properties of polypyrrole polyvinilsulfate films for dual actuator sensing systems [PDF]
One of the challenges of modern science is the development of actuators able to sense working conditions while actuation, mimicking the way in which biological organs work. Actuation of those organs includes nervous (electric) pulses dense reactive gels,

Dispersity in Polymer Science (IUPAC Recommendations 2009) [PDF]
This recommendation defines just three terms, viz., (1) molar-mass dispersity, relative-molecu- lar-mass dispersity, or molecular-weight dispersity; (2) degree-of-polymerization dispersity; and (3) dispersity.

Thin lamellar films with enhanced mechanical properties for durable radiative cooling
Passive daytime radiative cooling is a promising path to tackle energy, environment and security issues originated from global warming. However, the contradiction between desired high solar reflectivity and necessary applicable performance is a major ...

Fine-tuned order-order phase transitions in giant surfactants via interfacial engineering
Thermotropic order-order phase transitions (OOTs) in block copolymers are not commonly observed in the strong segregation region. Phase separation of giant surfactants composed of hydrophilic molecular nanoparticles (MNPs) as heads and hydrophobic ...
