Journal ArticleDOI
Tuning the thermo- and mechanoresponsive behavior of luminescent cyclophanes
TL;DR: In this paper, a new mechano- and thermoresponsive luminescent cyclophane that is comprised of two 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene moieties and features two hexaethylene glycol bridges was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
A melt-processable squaraine-based organic glass for nonlinear optics
TL;DR: In this article, the synthesis and properties of a new indole-based squaraine dye functionalized with ethylhexyl substituents are reported, which displays a large two-photon absorption cross-section of ∼1490 GM at a resonance wavelength of 1160 nm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer nanocomposites with cellulose nanocrystals made by co-precipitation
TL;DR: In this paper, a premixing method to produce polymer nanocomposites with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) is reported, which involves the dissolution and dispersion of a polymer and CNCs in an organic solvent, co-precipitation into water, drying of the resulting particles, and subsequent melt processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(p-phenylene butylene): A New, Processable, High-Melting Hydrophobic Polymer
TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization of p-diallylbenzene followed by catalytic reduction of the resulting unsaturated polymer was used as the primary synthetic route to PPPB.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear optical polymers with glass transition temperatures in the range of 125 °C < T g < 176 °C have been studied and the effect of annealing was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry with the result that a single set of parameters is sufficient to describe a wide range of thermal histories with as well as without annesaling.
