Fluorinated Tetraarylethenes: Universal Tags for the Synthesis of Solid State Luminogens

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Euro Solari, Albert Ruggi, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Thibault Jacques Marie Damiens Vanrapenbusch, Barbara Maja Kraus

The aggregation-induced emission properties of tetraarylethenes (TAEs) have led to numerous applications in chemistry, biology, and materials science. Herein, we describe two fluorinated tetraarylethenes, which can be employed as universal tags for the syn ...

Cyclic Behaviour of Unidirectional Hybrid Interlayer Glass/Carbon and Carbon/Carbon Composites

Anastasios Vassilopoulos, José Manuel de Sena Cruz

The lack of ductility is a major drawback of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. As it is known, these materials are stiff and strong, but brittle with little or no warning before final failure. In the last decades, some solutions have been proposed ...

Understanding the mechanisms of adhesive wear for heterogeneous materials through atomistic simulations

Jean-François Molinari, Sacha Zenon Wattel, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez

When two rough surfaces slide against each other, two main behaviors can be observed at the asperity level: A ductile behavior where the asperities tend to smooth out or a brittle behavior where the asperities detach and form debris. Recently, a critical l ...

Hydro-processing of biomass using novel metal-organic framework (MOF)/polymer composite catalysts

Vikram Vinayak Karve

Generating value, in the form of functional chemicals, from biomass is a critical need of today. It is expected that replacing petroleum with biomass as the source of many commodity and fine chemicals can lead the transition away from a fossil-fuel based e ...

Thermodynamics of organic electrochemical transistors

Hsin Tseng, Matteo Cucchi

Though models describing the operating mechanism of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have been developed, these models are unable to accurately reproduce OECT electrical characteristics. Here, the authors report a thermodynamic-based framework t ...

Sodium Superionic Conductors (NASICONs) as Cathode Materials for Sodium-Ion Batteries

Minmin Liu, Guangwei He, Kangning Zhao

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have developed rapidly owing to the high natural abundance, wide distribution, and low cost of sodium. Among the various materials used in SIBs, sodium superion conductor (NASICON)-based electrode materials with remarkable struc ...
