Controlled/living radical polymerization was developed to synthesize branched polyacrylates and polystyrene with tunable degrees of branching low dispersities. This method is based on a polymerization-induced process that occurs when n-butyl α-bromoacrylate copolymerized under atom transfer conditions. novel demonstrates excellent synthetic versatility, enabling the preparation complex macromolecular architectures constructed from branched-polymer building blocks.
Analog systems may allow image processing, such as edge detection, with low computational power. However, most demonstrated analog systems, based on either conventional 4-f imaging or nanophotonic structures, rely coherent laser sources for illumination, which significantly restricts their use in routine tasks ambient, incoherent illumination. Here, we a metalens-assisted system that can optoelectronic detection under ambient illumination conditions. The metalens was designed to generate...
Fast lithium ion (Li+) transport in solid-state polymer-matrix conductors is desperate demand a wide range of room-temperature scenarios but remains formidable challenge. Herein, we designed class electrolytes based on mixed-graft block copolymers (mGBCPs) containing short poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) side chains.
