This review summarizes the synthetic efforts on acyclic analogs of nucleic acids and provides information on the most interesting features of selected classes of such compounds. The selection includes the following types of analogs: Flexible (FNA), Unlocked (UNA), Glycol (GNA), Butyl (BuNA), Threoninol (TNA) and Serinol Nucleic Acids (SNA). These classes of analogs are discussed in terms of their synthetic methods, the thermal stability of their homo- and hetero-duplexes and their applicability in biological and biochemical research and nanotechnology.

ABSTRACTSubsequent to the implantation of certain ions, the thermal stability of AlGaAs/GaAs superlattices can be reduced, enabling mixing of the layers at temperatures where they would otherwise be stable. The mixed layers have intermediate alloy composition and are of good crystalline quality. As a result this process is of great value in device fabrication where a high degree of vertical and lateral bandgap control is desirable. This paper reviews our work in understanding the mechanism of diffusion, its dependence on varilous process parameters, and potential applications in device fabrication.

AbstractA variety of diamondlike carbon (DLC) materials were investigated for their potential applications as low-k dielectrics for the back end of the line (BEOL) interconnect structures in ULSI circuits. Hydrogenated DLC and fluorine containing DLC (FDLC) were studied as a low-k interlevel and intralevel dielectrics (ILD), while silicon containing DLC (SiDLC) was studied as a potential low-k etch stop material between adjacent DLC based ILD layers, which can be patterned by oxygen-based plasma etchingIt was found that the dielectric constant (k) of the DLC films can be varied between >3.3 and 2.7 by changing the deposition conditions. The thermal stability of these DLC films was found to be correlated to the values of the dielectric constant, decreasing with decreasing k. While DLC films having dielectric constants k>3.3 appeared to be stable to anneals of 4 hours at 400 °C in He, a film having a dielectric constant of 2.7 was not, losing more than half of its thickness upon exposure to the same anneal. The stresses in the DLC films were found to decrease with decreasing dielectric constant, from 700 MPa to about 250 MPa. FDLC films characterized by a dielectric constant of about 2.8 were found to have similar thermal stability as DLC films with k >3.3. The thermally stable FDLC films have internal stresses <300 MPa and are thus promising candidates as a low-k ILD.For the range of Si contents examined (0-9% C replacement by Si), SiDLC films with a Si content of around 5% appear to provide an effective etch-stop for oxygen RIE of DLC or FDLC films, while retaining desirable electrical characteristics. These films showed a steady state DLC/SiDLC etch rate ratio of about 17, and a dielectric constant only about 30% higher than the 3.3 of DLC.

Isocyanic acid was prepared in pure form by reaction of KOCN or NaOCN with stearic or oxalic acid in good yield. Identification, characterization and investigation of the thermal stability of HNCO and evidence for a possible existence of “dicyanic acid” have been studied in gas phase, liquid and solid state by vibrational and NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Four different synthetic methods for preparation of aromatic sialnes have been developed and the hydrosilylation route has been proved to be one as the most commercially significant. A series of specialty aryl silanes have been synthesized for the potential applications of high performance and high temperature as silane coupling agents. The thermal stabilities of the bridged aromatic silanes have been examined using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and compared against the gamma-substituted alkylsilanes and phenyltrimethoxysilane. These materials have greater thermal stability than the gamma-substituted, but marginally lower than phenyltrimethoxysilane.

Plant-based protein matrices can be used for the formulation of delivery systems of cinnamic acid. Pumpkin, pea and almond protein matrices were used for the formulation of dried complexes. The matrices were used in varying amounts (1%, 2%, 5% and 10%) whilst the amount of cinnamic acid was maintained constant. The obtained complexes were analyzed by HPLC, DSC and FTIR-ATR. The highest amounts of cinnamic acid were determined on complexes prepared by the lowest amounts of protein matrices, regardless of their type. The highest affinity for cinnamic acid adsorption was determined for the pumpkin protein matrix. DSC analysis revealed that adsorption of cinnamic acid caused an increase in the thermal stability of the almond protein matrix, while the other two matrices had the opposite behavior. The complexation of protein matrices and cinnamic acid was proven by recording the IR spectra. The obtained complexes could have potential applications in food products to achieve enrichment with cinnamic acid as well as proteins.
