Temperature memory effect and its stability revealed via differential scanning calorimetry in ethylene‐vinyl acetate within glass transition range

In this article, we reveal the temperature memory effect (TME) in a commercial thermoplastic polymer, namely ethylene‐vinyl acetate (EVA), within its glass transition range via a series of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) tests. In addition, we investigate the influence of heating holding time and also compare the observed TME in current study with that of shape memory alloys (SMAs). It is concluded that the TME via DSC (without any macroscopic shape change) is achievable within the glass transition range of a polymer. Conversely, although the observed TME shares the many similar features as those in SMAs, due to the nature of micro‐Brownian motion in the glass transition of polymers, the resulted TME is strongly affected by the heating holding time. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Silica aerogel–poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) composite for transparent heat retention films

Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) (EVA) plastic films are widely used for solar coverings including photovoltaic modules and commercial greenhouse films, but are poor at controlling heat flow. In this work, silica aerogel (SA) nanogels were examined for preparing transparent heat retention EVA films that block far infrared spectra radiation to maintain heat, without compromising the optical performance of the films. SA nanogels were melt‐mixed using a mini twin‐screw extruder with EVA pellets to form SA/EVA composite, which were pressed into thin films with controlled thickness. The composite films were characterized in terms of optical properties using a variety of analytical methods including FTIR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, electron, confocal, and atomic force microscopy. Both thermicity and thermal conductivity of commercial and experimental SA/EVA films were measured. The results demonstrated that the SA/EVA films gave improved infrared retention compared to commercial thermal plastic films without compromising visible light transmission, showing the potential for this approach in next generation heat retention films. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Iodoolefinic polypropionate building blocks from vinyl silanes with control of geometry by solvent and by neighboring group participation

Iododesilylation of trisubstituted (Z)-silyl olefins proceeds with retention of geometry in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) but, for unhindered cases, with inversion of geometry in DMSO. When an acyloxy substituent is positioned to participate in the reaction, the protocol consistently leads to inversion of geometry.     

15-[(Z)-Phenylmethylidene]-7,14-dioxadispiro[5.1.5.2]pentadecanes: stereoselective one-pot assembly from cyclohexanones and phenylacetylene in a KOH/DMSO suspension

Cyclohexanones react with phenylacetylene in a KOH/DMSO suspension (80 °C, 1 h) to give unexpectedly phenylmethylidene dispirocyclic ketals, 15-[(Z)-phenylmethylidene]-7,14-dioxadispiro[5.1.5.2]pentadecanes, in 16-22% yields (along with the anticipated β,γ- and α,β-ethylenic ketones).     

Oxidative nucleophilic substitution: transformation of alkylboronic derivatives

An efficient amidation reaction is described in this paper. Potassium alkyltrifluoroborate salts can be transforming to amides from nitriles in the presence of copper acetate and boron trifluoride. An extension of this reaction allowed the formation of amines, ethers, and C-C bond.     

Synthesis,NMR‐Spectroscopy,and Molecular Structure of a Phosphonyl Ene Diamine

First examples of ene diamines with a phosphonate function at the C=C double bond were obtained by the reaction of dialkyl H‐phosphonates with bis(N‐tert‐butyl)‐diimine derived from glyoxal, [1,4‐bis(tert‐butyl)‐1,4‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene], and isolated as hydrochlorides. Preferentially the cis‐diamine is formed. The new phosphonates are characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy(¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P). In addition the methyl ester 8a was characterized by ^14,15N NMR spectroscopy as well as by several 2D NMR techniques and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, unequivocally establishing the ene diamine structure. In the crystal dimers of the cations are formed by P–O ··· H–N hydrogen bonding.
