Background: Silicon-based thin films produced by remote microwave hydrogen plasma chemical vapor deposition (RP-CVD) from 1,1,4,4-tetramethyldisilaethylene, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane and 1,1,3,3- tetramethyldisilazane precursors are compared. The structure of these compounds differs in atomic composition of the central unit which links the two dimethylhydrosilane moieties. Objective: The effect of te Read More

Background: Cu-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), as the most exemplary click reaction, plays an important role in attaching a probe or substrate of interest to a specific bio-macromolecule or small molecule. So CuAAC has attracted many chemists and biologists interest. Objective: Click reaction provides a powerful tool to solve tremendous questions in chemical biology. Using CuAAC, chemists and biologis Read More

Background: Coupling reactions, commonly can be achieved via a wide range of organometallic reagents and electrophiles, representing an important class of synthetic transformation, namely “cross-coupling reaction. It is frequently catalyzed by various palladium (Pd) as species. The synthesis and characterization of an N-heterocyclic carbine (NHC) was accomplished in 1991. In 1991, the first synthesis of a stable NHC Read More

Objective: In the present work, the possibility of using UV-LED curing processes for the design of “smart” nanocoatings showing enhanced thermal, thermo-mechanical and barrier properties was thoroughly investigated. Method: A commercially available ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate resin, chosen as a model system, was added to 5 wt.% of an organophilic nanoclay (Cloisite 30B) and a photoinitiator (2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoyldi Read More
