In our tip-enhanced near-field CARS microscopy, two mode-locked pulsed lasers (pulse duration 5ps, spectral width 4cm ) were used for excitation of CARS polarization [21]. The sample was a DNA network nanostructure of poly(dA-dT)-poly(dA-dT) [24]. The frequency difference of the two excitation lasers (cOi — CO2) was set at 1337 cm, corresponding to the ring stretching mode of diazole. After the on-resonant imaging, CO2 was changed such that the frequency difference corresponded to none of the Raman-active vibration of the sample ( off-resonant ). The CARS images at the on- and off- resonant frequencies are illustrated in Figure 2.8a and b, respectively. 

The Material of the Example. Poly(ether ester) (PEE) materials are thermoplastic elastomers. Fibers made from this class of multiblock copolymers are commercially available as Sympatex . Axle sleeves for automotive applications or gaskets are traded as Arnitel or Hytrel . Polyether blocks form the soft phase (matrix). The polyester forms the hard domains which provide physical cross-linking of the chains. This nanostructure is the reason for the rubbery nature of the material. 

Jeong and coworkers have reported peptide-based thermo-gelling systems using PEG-b-polyAla as an injectable cellular scaffold [315]. The polymer aqueous solution undergoes sol-gel transition as temperature increases. The fraction of the p-sheet structure of the poly Ala dictated the population and thickness of fibrous nanostructure in the hydrogel, which affected the proliferation and protein...

Polysilane-based nanostructured composites were synthesized by the inclusion of poly(di-w-hexylsilane) (Mw = 53,600) into mesoporous, Si-OH-rich silica with a pore size of 2.8 nm.81 Two PL bands are observed for the composite. A narrow band at 371 nm, assigned to a PDHS film on a quartz substrate is blue shifted by 20 nm, a shift attributed to the polymer being incorporated into the pores.82 The size of the monomeric unit of the PDHS is about 1.6 nm, so only one polymer chain can be incorporated into a mesopore with a diameter of 2.8 nm. The narrow PL band at 350 nm is due to the reduction of the intermolecular interactions between polymer chains. This narrow PL band at 350 nm is assigned to the excited state of the linear polymer chain.81 Also, a new broad band of visible fluorescence at 410 nm appeared, which is assigned to localized states induced by conformational changes of the polymer chains caused by its interaction with the silanol (Si-OH) covered pore surface. Visible luminescence in nanosize PDHS is observed only when the polymer was incorporated in hexagonal pores of 2.8 nm and is not seen for the polymer incorporated into cubic pores of 2.8 nm diameter or hexagonal pores of 5.8 nm diameter.
