Ladder Polyether Synthesis via Epoxide-Opening Cascades Using a Disappearing Directing Group by Simpson, Graham L, Heffron, Timothy P, Merino, Estíbaliz, Jamison, Timothy F

“…The trimethylsilyl group disappears during the course of the cascade, and thus these are the first epoxide ring-opening cascades that afford ladder polyether subunits containing no directing groups at the end of the cascade.…”

Simulation and investigation of Gradient Refractive Index Profile (GRIP) and photonic effect in micro-fluidic waveguide of different geometries by Zhang, Ruiyang

“…With the aid of professional software COMSOL’s Microfuildic model and RSoft’s beamprop module by designing liquid core and liquid cladding waveguides of different shapes including rectangle ,up-trapezoid, down-trapezoid, para-saddle and para-rhombus and injecting deionized water with refractive index of 1.335 into liquid core and 5M CaCl2 solution into liquid core at from 1ul/ min to 15 ul / min , the GRIN profiles and optical effects like chirped focusing and interference vary accordingly .The purpose of the study is to find the pattern of how the GRIN profile and optical effects change with the composition ,flow rate and shape.…”

Immersion nickel deposition on blank silicon in aqueous solution containing ammonium fluoride by Tu, K. N., Zhang, Xi, Chen, Zhong

“…By adding fluoride, it was observed that metallic Ni was deposited constantly at the expense of Si and the deposition was not self-limited. Sponge-like Ni deposits were observed and it might explain the non-limiting feature of such immersion Ni deposition over Si. …”
