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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Ivy can be poisonous to dogs if ingested and can also cause a rash if it comes in contact with skin. This is because it contains toxic chemicals called saponins as well as polyacetylene compounds.
