Resumen

El control de las interacciones iónico-polímero es clave para la electrónica orgánica. El fuerte enlace catión-polímero en la poli (benzimidazobenzophenantrolina) (BBL) provoca la expulsión de agua y la deshidratación durante el dopaje, revelando nuevos principios de diseño.

Área de la Ciencia:

Ciencia de los materiales Ciencia de los materiales.
Química de Polímeros La Química de Polímeros es la química de los polímeros.

Empleado operando 2H espectroscopia de RMN para rastrear la dinámica del agua.
Datos experimentales integrados con el modelado computacional.

Principales resultados:

Se observó una disminución inesperada en la polibenzimidazobenzofenantrolina (BBL) a altos niveles de dopaje.
Se identificaron fuertes interacciones catión-polímero (enlace de hidrógeno) que conducen a la localización de la carga.
Se determinó la expulsión de agua, no la eliminación de iones, como la causa del deswelling y la reducción de masa / espesor.

Polymers

Polymers

The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms

Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters

Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters

The introduction of polyesters has brought major development to the textile industry. The wrinkle-free behavior of polyester blends has eliminated the need for starching and ironing clothes.
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...

Conductors and Insulators

Conductors and Insulators

Some materials may easily let electrical charges pass through them, while others obstruct their flow. The former are called conductors and the latter insulators. The atomic structures of materials determine whether they are conductors or insulators of electricity.
Most metals are conductors. Their atomic configuration is such that one or more electron(s) are loosely bound to the nucleus in each atom. Thus, a sea of mobile electrons are available in them, known as free electrons. Their easy...

Charge on a Conductor

Charge on a Conductor

An interesting property of a conductor in static equilibrium is that extra charges on the conductor end up on its outer surface, regardless of where they originate. Consider a hollow metallic conductor with a uniform surface charge density. Since the conductor itself is in electrostatic equilibrium, there should not be any electric field inside the conductor. Now, assume a Gaussian surface enclosing the hollow portion. Applying Gauss's law, the inner surface of the hollow conductor will not...
