Mechanism model of dynamic polyurethanes with two scales of nodes to regulate mechanical property by Yue Liu, Jinpeng Li, Litong Jia, Manyu Li, Yifan Diao, Zhenqi Han, Chenglei Yu, Tian Liu

“…Herein, we report a molecular topological structure model of polyether-based dynamic polyurethanes with polyphenols for mechanical property regulation; taking pyrogallic acid, polyethylene glycol, and hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer as an example, the elastic modulus ranges from 162.38 to 1038.62 MPa, and the tensile strength ranges from 1.70 to 42.88 MPa,and the tensile elongation can reach up to 47.26 %. Distinctively, the relationship between molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic structure and mechanical properties is explained in terms of topological structure; no catalyst and solvent are employed during the simple and fast synthesis. …”

The Disk Wind Contribution to the Gamma-Ray Emission from the Nearby Seyfert Galaxy GRS 1734−292 by Nobuyuki Sakai, Tomoya Yamada, Yoshiyuki Inoue, Ellis R. Owen, Tomonari Michiyama, Ryota Tomaru, Yasushi Fukazawa

“…With the first detailed multiwavelength study of this source, we demonstrate that an active galactic nucleus (AGN) disk wind can account for its gamma-ray emission. Using a lepto-hadronic emission model based on a shocked ambient medium and a shocked wind region created by an AGN accretion disk wind, we identify two viable scenarios that are consistent with the Fermi-LAT data and multiwavelength observations: a hadronic pp -dominated scenario and a leptonic external-Compton-dominated scenario. …”
