New materials synthesis

In addition to the opportunities for new materials synthesis and characterization along these lines, transport properties, rheology, and processing techniques for liquid crystal polymers are essentially unexplored. Experiences with synthesis of polymer structure based on these liquid crystal templates may open up other creative avenues for template synthesis, for example, inside other crystalline structures, chlathrates, or zeolites, or on surfaces [4], Composites, alloys, or mixtures of liquid crystalline and flexible polymers may produce new materials. 

A second distinct example of PLD new materials synthesis involves substitutional doping of YBa2Cu307. It is well known that substitution of Y with other rare earth elements does not affect Tc significantly unless the rare earth is Pr. 

Recent design sophistication in the area of preparative scale vacuum evaporation technology has introduced additional synthetic flexibility and greatly extended the range of application of vapor synthesis. These advances reflect changing requirements in the field of vapor synthesis, paired with a consciousness of the potential for contributions to new materials synthesis.(12) This chapter sketches these advances in terms of design fundamentals, principles of operation, reactant and product manipulation, quantification and synthetic strategies.

It is clear that the ability to design and control conjugated 77 architectures is the key to creating new materials. Synthesis can determine the magnitude of 77 overlap along the backbone and eliminate structural defects. Materials assembly (and/or processing) determines interchain overlap and dimensionality. Together these...
