Summary: The synthesis of a series of polyferrocenylsilanes (PFSs) containing CC functionalities in the side‐group structure and their subsequent derivatization by hydrosilylation chemistry are described. Hydrosilylation is shown to be an effective postpolymerization functionalization method, particularly in the case of poly(ferrocenylmethylvinylsilane), which can be prepared by photolytic anionic ring‐opening polymerization of the corresponding ferrocenophane monomer.
Nanotechnology is widely associated with the promise of positively contributing to sustainability. However, this view often focuses on end-of-pipe applications, for instance, for water purification or energy efficiency, and relies on a narrow concept of sustainability. Approaching sustainability problems and solution options from a comprehensive and systemic perspective instead may yield quite different conclusions about the contribution of nanotechnology to sustainability. This study conceptualizes sustainability problems as complex constellations with several potential intervention points and amenable to different solution options. The study presents results from interdisciplinary workshops and literature reviews that appraise the contribution of the selected nanotechnologies to mitigate such problems. The study focuses exemplarily on the urban context to make the appraisals tangible and relevant. The solution potential of nanotechnology is explored not only for well-known urban sustainability problems such as water contamination and energy use but also for less obvious ones such as childhood obesity. Results indicate not only potentials but also limitations of nanotechnology??s contribution to sustainability and can inform anticipatory governance of nanotechnology in general, and in the urban context in particular. 相似文献
This paper has presented an overview of fiber-optics technology, sensors, and interferometric sensing systems. The potential use of fiber optics either continuous (distributed) or segmented (quasi-distributed) has the potential for use as embedded sensors in 'smart-structures/skins' made of composites. Mechanical stress and strain can be correlated to fiber-optic indications. For continuous fibers, the indicated stress or strain is averaged over the embedded fiber length. Strains at discrete points can best be measured using embedded fibers which are segmented and contain initial gaps of equal length. A segmented fiber with a misalignment will show a change in γ (wavelength). If the fiber rotates and the distance between the fiber remains constant there will apparently be no change in γ. The separation of the segment coupling coefficient will be the axial strain indicator. 相似文献
We study intermittent lag synchronization in a system of two identical mutually coupled Duffing oscillators with parametric
modulation in one of them. This phenomenon in a periodically forced system can be seen as intermittent jump from phase to
lag synchronization, during which the chaotic trajectory visits a periodic orbit closely. We demonstrate different types of
intermittent lag synchronizations, that occur in the vicinity of saddle-node bifurcations where the system changes its dynamical
state, and characterize the simplest case of period-one intermittent lag synchronization. 相似文献
