Liu et al. developed a simple method to fabricate polystyrene (PS) nanotube templates to mimic a soft environment for capturing breast cancer cells from whole blood. First, PS was dissolved in a solvent, forming a solution. Then, anionic aluminum oxide (AAO) was made to have intimate contact with such solution. Through capillary forces, the solution was absorbed into the nanopores of AAO. After complete evaporation of the solvent, all components solidified. Then, AAO was etched off with NaOH, leaving a template covered by PS nanotubes. As shown in Figure 16.5B, such soft structure was... 

Various studies have reported the use of zeolite catalysts for the alkylation of alkylbenzenes other than toluene. Studies include the conversion of ethylbenzene and methanol to yield /7-ethyltoluene, which after dehydrogenation yields /7-methylstyrene. The latter compoimd can be polymerized to yield a polystyrene analog [63]. HZSM-5 zeolites prepared with Na, K, and Rb ions were examined by Kolboe et al [63] who reported selectivities of 1050% for ethylbenezene alkylation with methanol Hi para selectivity was observed, particularly for the Rb-containing zeolite that has a low Al content. In addition, the alkylation of phenol with methanol is a commercially viable process for the production of cresols and Tcylenols. The reaction occurs in the liquid phase at about 300°C and 5 MPa pressure. The catalyst is aluminum oxide, but recent work on HY and ZSM-5 zeolites has been reported that increases selectivity to /7-cresol as a result of shape selectivity effects [64].

Solid Superacids. Most large-scale petrochemical and chemical industrial processes ate preferably done, whenever possible, over soHd catalysts. SoHd acid systems have been developed with considerably higher acidity than those of acidic oxides. Graphite-intercalated AlCl is an effective sohd Friedel-Crafts catalyst but loses catalytic activity because of partial hydrolysis and leaching of the Lewis acid halide from the graphite. Aluminum chloride can also be complexed to sulfonate polystyrene resins but again the stabiUty of the catalyst is limited. 

It has been shown recently (10) that such block structures could be tailored precisely by the general method summarized hereabove. It is indeed possible to convert the hydroxyl end-group of a vinyl polymer PA (f.i. polystyrene, or polybutadiene obtained by anionic polymerization terminated with ethylene oxide),into an aluminum alcoholate structure since it is well known that CL polymerizes in a perfectly "living" manner by ring-opening insertion into the Al-0 bond (11), the following reaction sequence provides a direct access to the desired copolymers, with an accurate control of the molecular parameters of the two blocks ... 

Shibasaki et al. developed a polymer-supported bifunctional catalyst (33) in which aluminum was complexed to a chiral binaphtyl derivative containing also two Lewis basic phosphine oxide-functionahties. The binaphtyl unit was attached via a non-coordinating alkenyl Hnker to the Janda Jel-polymer, a polystyrene resin containing flexible tetrahydrofuran-derived cross-Hnkers and showing better swelling properties than Merifield resins (Scheme 4.19) [105]. Catalyst (33) was employed in the enantioselective Strecker-type synthesis of imines with TMSCN. 

Some strategies used for the preparation of support-bound thiols are listed in Table 8.1. Oxidative thiolation of lithiated polystyrene has been used to prepare polymeric thiophenol (Entry 1, Table 8.1). Polystyrene functionalized with 2-mercaptoethyl groups has been prepared by radical addition of thioacetic acid to cross-linked vinyl-polystyrene followed by hydrolysis of the intermediate thiol ester (Entry 2, Table 8.1). A more controllable introduction of thiol groups, suitable also for the selective transformation of support-bound substrates, is based on nucleophilic substitution with thiourea or potassium thioacetate. The resulting isothiouronium salts and thiol acetates can be saponified, preferably under reductive conditions, to yield thiols (Table 8.1). Thiol acetates have been saponified on insoluble supports with mercaptoethanol [1], propylamine [2], lithium aluminum hydride [3], sodium or lithium borohydride, alcoholates, or hydrochloric acid (Table 8.1). 

Capacitors can be polarized or non-polarized, depending on the - dielectric. Non-polarized devices have dielectrics consisting of ceramics or polymers (such as polystyrene, polyester, or polypropylene). They are normally box-shaped and their capacity is usually in the range from pF to pF, the maximum voltage up to 1000 V. Polarized capacitors are electrochemical devices the dielectric is an anodic oxide of A1 (pF to 100 mF, potentials up to 1000 V), Ta (capacities pF to 100 pF, potentials up to 20 V), or Nb (- electrolytic capacitor) or a double layer (- supercapacitor, capacities up to some 10 F and potentials up to 2.5 V or 5 V). Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are normally of cylindrical shape with radial or axial leads. Tantalum capacitors are of spherical shape and super capacitors form flat cylinders.

In a recent pubHcation, Alivisatos and co-workers reported the making of hybrid nanorods-polymer solar cells and their properties [122]. These solar cells were made by spin casting of a solution of both poly(3-hexylthiophene) (hole acceptor) and CdSe nanorods (electron acceptor) onto indium tin oxide glass substrates coated with poly(ethylene dioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonic acid and aluminum as a top contact. Nanorods have been used in composites so as to improve the carrier mobiHty. Indeed, the latter can be high for some inorganic semiconductors, but it is typically extremely low for conjugated polymers [123]. The use of the nanorods suppHes an interface for the charge transfer as well as a direct path for electrical transport. Also, because of their anisotropy, self-assembly of these nanorods is observed by electron microscopy. It shows... 

FePt nanorods of high quahty have been produced by decomposition of Fe(CO)5 and reduction of Pt(acac)2 in a confined cyUndiical mesophase consisting of surfactants such as oleic acid and oleyl amine at high concentrations and slow heating (61). Self-assembly of FePt nanorods can be carried out on a silicon wafer by evaporating a hexane dispersion. Hydrothermal synthesis has also been used for self-assembly by precoating the substrate with aluminum metal (62). Under hydrothermal conditions, the aluminum metal transforms to a hydrotalcite-like phase which provides a lattice matched substrate for the growth of oxide nanorods such as ZnO (Fig. 7.12). The substrates can be diverse, flat, or curved, such as silicon, polystyrene beads, carbon nanotube array, etc. 

Originally, a donor-acceptor bilayer device of two films was used as an n-p junction in solar cells. Thus, they were fabricated as sandwich structures. An example would be one where a transparent substrate is first coated with a conductor, like indium-tin oxide. A conducting polymer like, poly (ethylene dioxythiphene), doped with polystyrene-sulfonic acid, would then be applied from and aqueous solution. The indium-tin oxide acts as an electrode for hole injection or extraction. The polymer is then covered with a conductor, an aluminum foil. The doped polymer can be illustrated as follows ... 

Materials with inorganic or porous hydrophobic or (less frequently) hydrophilic organic polymer matrices and graphitized carbon are stable over a broad pH range from 0 to 12-14 hence, they are useful in separations of basic compounds. Reversed phases on aluminum and zirconium oxide supports exhibit hardness and mass transfer properties comparable to silica, and can be prepared by forming a cross-linked polystyrene, polybutadiene, or alkylated polymethylsiloxane layer on the support surface to which alkyls are attached. The inorganic surface, encapsulated by a non-polar stationary phase, does not come into contact with the mobile phase or with the analyte so these materials can be used in the pH range 1-14.
