The original π-conjugated polymer was polyacetylene, discovered by the Shirakawa team. Plastics are polymers, which means they are formed of long chains of repeating molecules. π-conjugated ...

The first part presents polyacetylene as the paradigmatic material in which electric charge can be fractionalized, while the second part introduces the notion of invertible topological phases of ...

In terms of consumption, the North American region gains maximum traction over the projected years. Owing to demand from ...

However, this is not due to the carotenoids but rather an entirely different compound within carrots called polyacetylene.

Rapid progress in doped polymers, especially doped polyacetylene was made in the 1970s, but the material remained a curiosity due to the difficulties in processing. In the late 1980s the interest in ...

Research published in Plant Cell Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Journal indicates that carrots contain a bioactive polyacetylene of the falcarinol type, which has potent antibacterial, antifungal ...
