Appending perfluoroalkyl substituents to bis(urea) gelators results in significantly decreased inter-chain interactions with markedly thinner fibres and hence more cross-linked and more transparent gels with potential applications in the crystallisation of fluorinated pharmaceuticals.

Metal-organic Frameworks (MOFs) remain an extremely active area of research given the wide variety of potential applications and the enormous diversity of structures that can be created from their constituent building blocks. While MOFs are typically employed as passive materials, next-generation materials will exhibit structural and/or electronic changes in response to applied external stimuli including light, charge, and pH. Herein we present recent results in which advanced photochromic diarylethenes are combined with MOFs through covalent and non-covalent methods to create photo-responsive permanently porous crystalline materials. This presentation will describe the design, synthesis, and characterization of next-generation photo-switchable diarylethene based ligands which are subsequently used to photo-responsive MOFs. These UBMOF crystals are, by design, isostructural with previously reported non-photoresponsive frameworks which enables a systematic comparison of their physical and chemical properties. While the photoswitching of the isolated ligand in solution is fully reversible, the cycloreversion reaction is suppressed in the UBMOF single crystalline phase. Spectroscopic evidence for thermally induced cycloreversion will be presented, as well as a detailed analysis addressing the limits of X-ray diffraction techniques applied to these systems.

One-dimensional nanostructures, like nanofibers, nanobelts, nanotubes, nanorods have been regarded as a new class of nanomaterials that have been attracted as the most promising building blocks for verity applications in the last few years. As one type of important structures with intensive research efforts have been devoted to the production and investigation of the metal oxides. Metal oxide nanofibers have different potential to play an essential role in a series of application such as optics, nanoelectronics, catalysts, sensors, storage, optoelectonics, and full cell. Copper oxide nanostructures is a promising semiconductor material with potential applications in photochemical, electrochemical, electrochromic especially in water splitting, catalysts, and fabrication of photovoltaic devices. In this paper electrospinning method via sol-gel was used to fabricate copper oxide nanofibers. Copper oxide nanofibers with different morphology were synthesized by different calcinations temperature. In this paper, effective parameters such as voltage, concentration of precursor and different calcinations temperature were characterized by thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET).

Transparent electrode with a conducting film on a glass surface provides us a useful tool to observe the fired-induced structure formation in ER fluids directly under both quiescent and dynamic conditions. In this paper the flow and field-induced structure evolution in ER fluids will be studied in three flow conditions, i.e., (a) ER fluids flowing through a slit channel between two fixed parallel transparent electrodes, which construct a model ER valve, (b) ER fluids being sheared between two concentric transparent electrode tubes, which correspond to a conventional rotary rheometer and (c) ER fluids being sheared between two parallel plate disks, which correspond to an ER clutch. Shear-induced layer structure was observed even when the shear rate reaches 600 s -1. A tentative phase transition diagram between the layer structure and the homogeneous flow state will be given.
