Stimuli-responsive polypeptides have gained attention because desirable bioactive properties can be easily imparted to them while keeping their biocompatibility and biodegradability intact. In this review, we summarize the most recent advances in various stimuli-responsive polypeptides (pH, reduction, oxidation, glucose, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and enzyme) over the past five years. Various synthetic strategies exploited for advanced polypeptide-based materials are introduced, and their applicability in biomedical fields is discussed. The recent polypeptides imparted with new stimuli-responsiveness and their novel chemical and physical properties are explained in this review.

IAU Commission 29 - Stellar Spectra has been one of the IAU commissions from the onset, until its dissolution at the most recent IAU General Assembly in Honolulu in 2015. This commission belonged to IAU Division G (“Stars and Stellar Physics”), the latter committed with fostering research in stellar astrophysics. Within the general field of stellar astrophysics, stellar spectroscopy plays a key role, as stellar spectra are a powerful tool providing a view into the detailed physical properties of stars and the physical processes occuring within them.

Ionic liquids are becoming widely used in chemical processes. Taking this into account we focus on recent advances in the synthesis and the investigation of 1H-imidazole derived ionic liquids. The fi rst part of this paper focuses on describing the developments in the synthesis and physical properties of 1,3-disubstituted imidazolium salts. The second part describes the application of these unique reagents, as catalysts and solvents in organic chemistry.

In addition to controlling the structure of multi-chromophoric arrays, monitoring the spatial orientation of the chromophores in artificial light harvesting devices is a challenge of growing interest. We report in this article our recent advances in this field. It is expected that a better understanding of the physicochemical properties of rigid cofacial porphyrinic tweezers and an identification of the factors governing them will be crucial for the design and the elaboration of new nano-molecules endowed with original properties. Extended multi-porphyrinic architectures, polypeptides bearing pendant porphyrins have been synthesized as linear devices, and a star-like pentaporphyrin as an arborescent array. The structure and the original conformation of the latter confer to this system an unusual duality in its physicochemical properties.

Abstract In dealing with elasticity and with swelling, we have thus far considered rubber to be composed of a loose network of randomly-kinked long-chain molecules. This simple picture does not fully represent the structure of rubber under all conditions, and gives no explanation of many of the remarkable physical properties of raw rubber. For a more adequate representation we are forced to include the effects of crystallization. In this Part we shall examine some of these effects, and see what light they throw on the mechanism of the process of crystallization and on the structure of rubber generally. At the outset we may find some difficulty in accepting the theory that rubber may contain a crystalline phase. This is because we are accustomed to think of a crystal as possessing a precise geometrical shape. We cannot identify such geometrical forms in rubber. But, on consideration, we see that the essential attribute of a crystal is the internal regularity of the spacing of its constituent atoms. The external geometrical regularity, where it exists, is derived from this more fundamental internal structural regularity. It is frequently found, however, that the internal regularity is not accompanied by external regularity. This is true, for example, of the metals, which are invariably crystalline. The absence of external regularity is due to the small size of the individual crystallites. The same considerations apply to rubbers.
