Abstract

A synthetic method for the end-functionalization of vinylidene fluoride oligomers (OVDF) via a radical reaction be-tween terminal olefins and OVDF-I is described. The method shows a wide substrate scope and excellent conversions, and permits the preparation of different disc-shaped cores such as benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs), perylenes bisimide (PBI) and phthalocyanines (Pc) bearing three to eight ferroelectric oligomers at their periphery. The for-mation, purity, OVDF conformation, and morphology of the final adducts has been assessed by a combination of tech-niques, such as NMR, size exclusion chromatography, (SEC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Finally, PBI-OVDF and Pc-OVDF materials show ferroelec-tric hysteresis behavior together with high remnant polarizations, with values of as high as Pr ~ 37 mC/m2 for Pc-OVDF. This work demonstrates the potential of preparing a new set of ferroelectric materials by simply attaching OVDF oligomers to different small molecules. The use of carefully chosen small molecules paves the way to new func-tional materials in which ferroelectricity and electrical conductivity or light-harvesting properties coexist in a single compound.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 May 2016.
All research outputs
#18,456,836
of 22,869,263 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Chemical Society
#58,624
of 62,072 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#218,658
of 298,725 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Chemical Society
#370
of 440 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,869,263 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 62,072 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 298,725 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 440 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
