Synthesis and Optical Properties of Triphenylene-Based Donor-Donor and Donor-Acceptor Conjugated Polymers: A Comparative Study by Yong Li, Dung D. Nguyen, Kuldeep Shetye, Zhonghua Peng

“…The opposite conformations of the two polymers may be responsible for their opposite solvent-dependent fluorescence properties. By virtue of the very different fluorescence properties of these two polymers in nonpolar solvents such as hexane and in polar solvents, the potential of using the polymers to detect the trace amount of ethanol content that is added to gasoline has been revealed with high sensitivity.…”

Prediction Method for Overconsolidation Ratio of Marine SoftSoil Based on the Piezocone Penetration Tests by Yanbin Fu, Sizhan Zhang, Guiyang Lv, Kaihang Han

“…The ultimate expansion pressures of the probe penetrating into soil under the spherical and cylindrical cavity expansion modes are first obtained by virtue of the theory of cavity expansion. Then, two prediction methods for OCR considering the roughness and penetration rate of the cone are proposed by combining the ultimate expansion pressures of the probe penetrating the approximate closed solution of cavity expansion in the modified Cambridge model, which is suitable for predicting the OCR of marine soft clay. …”
