Synthesis of polymeric materials derived from abundant natural feedstocks using non-toxic heavy metals by Navickaite, G

“…<p>The aims of this Thesis were: firstly, to develop new di(amido)siloxane complexes using relatively non-toxic bismuth and scandium metals, and secondly, to examine the activity of the bismuth compounds in ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) and small molecule activation reactions.…”

Spontaneous symmetry breaking of an optical polarization state in a polarization-selective nonlinear reson by Manannikov, K, Mironova, E, Poliakov, A, Mikhaylov, A, Ulanov, A, Lvovsky, A

“…We pump the vapor cell with horizontally polarized light while the vertical polarization, which is initially in the vacuum state, is resonated in a ring cavity. Microscopic field fluctuations in this mode experience cumulative gain due to the compound action of amplification due to the self-rotation and feedback through the resonator, eventually acquiring a macroscopic magnitude akin to an optical parametric oscillator. …”

Biothermoplastic elastomer (BTPE), influence of architecture on mechanical properties by Tjin, Monica Suryana.
