A single reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent, malonate N,N-diphenyldithiocarbamate (MDP-DTC) is shown to successfully mediate the polymerization of several monomers with greatly differing reactivities in radical/RAFT polymerizations, including both vinyl acetate and styrene. The chain transfer constants (Ctr) for MDP-DTC for both these monomers were evaluated; these were found to be ~2.7 in styrene and ~26 in vinyl acetate, indicating moderate control over styrene polymerization and good control of vinyl acetate polymerization. In particular, the MDP-DTC RAFT agent allowed for the synthesis of block copolymers of these two monomers without the need for protonation/deprotonation switching, as has been previously developed with N-(4-pyridinyl)-N-methyldithiocarbamate RAFT agents, or other end-group transformations. The thermal properties of the block copolymers were studied using differential scanning calorimetry, and those with sufficiently high molecular weight and styrene composition appear to undergo phase separation. Thus, MDP-DTC may be useful for the production of other block copolymers consisting of monomers with highly dissimilar reactivities.

Abstract We investigate the junction temperature measurements for GaN-based blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) using nonlinear dependence of the forward voltage ( V f ) on temperature. Unlike the conventional linear model of the dependence of V f on temperature, the modeling of the temperature dependent V f with a quadratic function showed good agreements with measured data in the temperature range between 20 and 100 o C. Using the proposed quadratic model, the junction temperature and thermal resistance of the measured LED could be accurately determined as the ambient temperature varied. It was observed that the junction temperature increment remained almost unchanged as the ambient temperature increased from 20 to 80 o C, which could be attributed to the interplay between the decrease in series resistance and the increase in non-radiative recombination with increasing temperature. The presented method for accurate determination of the junction temperature is expected to be advantageously employed for the thermal management of high-power LEDs.

<p>The present study utilized chitosan obtained from crab shell and transition metal salts as precursors to synthesize chitosan-metal coordination biopolymers of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II) [i.e Chit-Mn(II), Chit-Fe(III), Chit-Co(II) and Chit-NI(II) respectively]. The synthesized coordination biopolymers have been characterized using different instrumental techniques such as spectroscopic (UV-visible, FT-IR, XRD, EDS, and ICP-OES), thermal analysis (TGA and DTA), surface analysis (SEM), and hydrogen-temperature programmed reduction (H<sub>2</sub>-TPR) analysis. Spectroscopic studies confirmed the successful incorporation of the metals into the biopolymer matrix. Thermal analysis and H<sub>2</sub>-TPR revealed the reducibility of the Chit-Fe(III) at 120 ℃. While Chit-Fe(III) and Chit-Ni(II) were inactive, Chit-Co(II) and Chit-Mn(II) were found to be active towards vinyl acetate polymerization in the presence of aqueous Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>3</sub>. Furthermore, the polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) produced from Chit-Co(II) compared perfectly with a commercial PVAc and was in higher yield than PVAc produced from Chit-Mn(II). The polymerization has been shown to proceed via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP), and the viscosity average molecular weight of PVAc produced has been measured as 25, 078. The density functional theory approach has been used to ascertain the coordination orientation of the Chit-Co(II) and explain its high efficiency towards vinyl acetate polymerization. The catalyst reusability test revealed an insignificant loss of activity for the Chit-Co(II) after seven cycles of polymerization. Kinetic studies show that the vinyl acetate polymerization suits the second-order kinetic model at ambient temperature. Thermodynamic studies also revealed that chain initiation is an endothermic process while chain propagation is an exothermic process. The result of this work also suggests an investigation of chitosan-metal coordination biopolymer via low-ppm ATRP approach for possible biomedical application.</p>
