We present a thermally activated solvent bonding technique for the formation of embedded microstructures in polymer. It is based, on the temperature dependent solubility of polymer in a liquid that is not a solvent at room temperature. With thermal activat ...
The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of linear alkenes to carboxylic acids using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent was studied. High selectivities in acids have been obtained. The best results were achieved when adding a perfluorinated surfactant to th ...
The excited-state dynamics of covalently linked electron donor−acceptor systems consisting of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) as electron donor and either perylene (Pe) or cyanoperylene (CNPe) as acceptor has been investigated in a large variety of solvents, inc ...
A review is presented concerning the exploitation of spectral information carried by probe pulse. The method reviewed allow observing changes and dynamics of the solute mol. structure in polar solvents. ...
We present a new photon echo set-up operating in the UV range and our 1st results of photon echo peak shift (PEPS) expts. of a small non-polar dye mol., p-terphenyl (pTP), in 3 different solvents: EtOH, MeOH, and 2-propanol. The expts. show the feasibility ...
The excited-state dynamics of a series of electron donor−acceptor bridged systems (DABS) consisting of a boron−dipyrromethene chromophore covalently linked to a dinitro-substituted triptycene has been investigated using femtosecond time-resolved spectrosco ...
An epoxy-based negative-tone photoresist, which is known as a suitable material for high-aspect-ratio surface micromachining, is functionalized with red-light-emitting CdSe@ZnS nanocrystals (NCs). The proper selection of a common solvent for the NCs and th ...
Metallo-beta-lactamases (MbetaLs) are zinc-dependent enzymes able to hydrolyze and inactivate most beta-lactam antibiotics. The large diversity of active site structures and metal content among MbetaLs from different sources has limited the design of a pan ...
This thesis presents a comparative study of the ultrafast solvation dynamics of liquids in bulk conditions, and at the interfaces of metal-IV oxides (specifically TiO2 and ZrO2), using ultrafast spectroscopy techniques. In the first part of the thesis we r ...
Trinuclear organometallic macrocycles are able to complex amino acids and peptides in aqueous solution. The complexation, which is driven by hydrophobic and π − π interactions, induces a large shift of the 1H NMR signals of the guest. The organometallic ho ...
