In this communication, γ‐phenyl‐γ‐butyrodithiolactone (DTL1) is presented as the first example of a new type of control agent. The styrene polymerization carried out at 60 °C in the presence of DTL1 exhibits living characteristics, without consuming DTL1 during the process. This unprecedented behavior was explained by a mechanism based on the reversible formation of a persistent radical adduct between the DTL1 and the polystyrene macroradicals.
Intense photoluminescence in the visible region was observed at room temperature in standard soda-lime-silica glass powder, mechanically milled in a high-energy attrition mill. The emission band maximum shows an interesting dependence on the exciting wavelength, suggesting the possibility to tune the PL emission. These findings indicate that the photoluminescence may be directly related to unsatisfied chemical bonds correlated with the high surface area. The Raman scattering and ultraviolet–visible optical reflectance measurements corroborate this assertion. Transmission electron microscopy measurements indicate that samples milled more than 10 h present the formation of nanocrystallites with about 10–20 nm. 相似文献
We propose an innovative strategy to obtain crack-free gels by using a surfactant as a template for the silica pores. We use a neutral surfactant – n-octylamine – which weakly interacts by hydrogen bonding with the silica precursor. This allows it to be removed by simple drying in ambient air. We investigate the effect of the surfactant in simple inorganic silica obtained from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and an organic–inorganic hybrid xerogel, containing TEOS and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), as precursors. Although both the syntheses promote the formation of a crack-free uniform mesoporous silica gel, the hybrid gel network exhibits a larger pore size than the gel containing exclusively the silica from TEOS. 相似文献
The local order around ion-implanted Er3+ ions in SiO2–TiO2–HfO2 thin films prepared by sol–gel, was studied by extended X-ray absorption fine structure at the Er-LIII edge. Both the first and second coordination shells of Er3+ were analyzed for different heat-treatments. While the first coordination shell always consisted of ~6–7 oxygen atoms at distances varying between 2.23 and 2.27 Å, the structure of the second shell was found to vary with the film composition and heat-treatment. Namely, whereas Si was found to be the only second neighbor of erbium in binary SiO2–TiO2 films, the addition of HfO2 caused a preferential replacement of Si by Hf. The post-implantation thermal treatments also played a fundamental role in determining the final environment of the erbium ions. 相似文献
Microstructural and magnetic changes induced by ball milling in Nd2Fe17 alloy have been investigated. X-ray and neutron powder diffraction studies have shown that the main crystalline phase present in the as-cast Nd2Fe17 compound is the rhombohedral Th2Zn17-type crystal structure. Contrary to other materials, the crystal structure does not change after milling, and the crystal lattice parameters slightly increases while the induced strain is less than 0.1%. It has been observed from SEM and TEM images that the microstructure consists of agglomerates of nanoparticles with a mean size around 20 nm, and from magnetic measurements a broadening of the temperature range in which ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition takes place. 相似文献

We have developed an optical method for accurate concentration, er, and dr analysis of amino alcohols based on a simple mix‐and‐measure workflow that is fully adaptable to multiwell plate technology and microscale analysis. The conversion of the four aminoindanol stereoisomers with salicylaldehyde to the corresponding Schiff base allows analysis of the dr based on a change in the UV maximum at 420 nm that is very different for the homo‐ and heterochiral diastereomers and of the concentration of the sample using a hypsochromic shift of another absorption band around 340 nm that is independent of the analyte stereochemistry. Subsequent in situ formation of CuII assemblies in the absence and presence of base enables quantification of the er values for each diastereomeric pair by CD analysis. Applying a linear programming method and a parameter sweep algorithm, we determined the concentration and relative amounts of each of the four stereoisomers in 20 samples of vastly different stereoisomeric compositions with an averaged absolute percent error of 1.7 %. 相似文献
