Bistable Electrical Switching and Rewritable Memory Effect in a Thin Film Acrylate Copolymer Containing Carbazole-Oxadiazole Donor–Acceptor Pendant Groups
The molecular conformation-dependent write-once read-many-times (WORM) memory based on an acrylate polymer containing pendant carbazole (donor) groups is transformed into a flash (rewritable) memory when acryl...

Responsive surfaces for biomedical applications
Much of the interaction of a material with its environment is governed by its surface, and modulation of the material’s surface characteristics can vastly broaden its range of application. This review focuses ...

Chemical nature of the nitrogens in polypyrrole and nitrogen-substituted polypyrrole: a comparative study by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
The chemical nature of the nitrogens in polypyrrole (PPY) and poly(N-methylpyrrole) (PMPY) has been critically compared using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a primary tool. Treatment of PPY/perchlorate co...

Soot Oxidation in Flames
The kinetics and mechanisms of soot oxidation were studied at temperatures of 1575 to 1865 K and O2 mole fractions of 10−5 to 0.05 in a two-stage atmospheric-pressure combustion system in which soot-laden gas fro...
