The present disclosure provides fluorescent polyindenofluorene polymers or macromers with unique optical properties that are stable. The polymeric fluorophores are useful in various bioassays formats. The inventive polymers are useful in assays relying on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanisms where two fluorophores are used.

The present disclosure relates to a carbazole-based anion exchange material, a preparation method therefor and use thereof, and more particularly, to an anion exchange material used in membranes for water electrolysis, redox flow batteries, fuel cells, carbon dioxide reduction, electrochemical ammonia production and decomposition, electrodialysis (ED), reverse electrodialysis (RED) or capacitive deionization (CDI), a separator comprising the same, a preparation method therefor and use thereof. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to prepare a separation membrane with improved mechanical and chemical stability and durability by remarkably improving the molecular weight together with solubility in solvent by providing the anion exchange material in which all bonds between monomers in the main chain are C—C bonds based on the carbazole-based material with high stability.

The present application discloses a polyhydroxy aromatic intermediate, preparation thereof and use thereof in a polycondensate water-reducer with branched side chains. The polycondensate water-reducer with branched side chains has a branched side chain structure which provides a stronger steric hindrance. The synergistic effect of the branched side chains and the rigid skeleton of the aromatic ring greatly improves the water-reducing ability. Especially under a condition of low water/cement ratio, the improvement in water-reducing ability is more obvious. The branched polyether side chain is more conducive to the formation of a thicker water film layer, which has an obvious viscosity reduction effect. The conformation of the branched polyether side chain is less affected by different ionic environments in the pore solution in cement, and thus has a stronger adaptability to various raw materials. The water-reducer is suitable for the preparation of high-strength concrete, self-compacting concrete and concrete with low water-to-binder ratio and high volume of mineral admixtures, especially for the preparation of concrete containing machine-made sand.

Water solvated polymeric dyes and polymeric tandem dyes are provided. The polymeric dyes include a water solvated light harvesting multichromophore having a conjugated segment of aryl or heteroaryl co-monomers linked via covalent bonds, vinylene groups or ethynylene groups. The polymeric tandem dyes further include a signaling chromophore covalently linked to the multichromophore in energy-receiving proximity therewith. Also provided are labeled specific binding members that include the subject polymeric dyes. Methods of evaluating a sample for the presence of a target analyte and methods of labeling a target molecule in which the subject polymeric dyes find use are also provided. Systems and kits for practicing the subject methods are also provided.

A ladder tetrazine polymer is disclosed.

A dental appliance made of an olefin polymer is directly formed via rapid prototyping without the use of an intermediary physical mold. A polymer precursor solution includes one or more olefin-containing monomers and/or oligomers, an olefin polymerization catalyst, and a UV absorbing agent to limit penetration of the UV light through the polymer precursor solution. One or more reactions of the polymer precursor solution are modulated in response to UV light, and the polymer precursor solution may further include an inhibitor (quenching agent) configured to modulate those reactions. The polymer precursor solution can be deposited using UV-cured stereolithographic or 3D printing methods to form appliances exhibiting improved elongation at break characteristics and suitable stress resistance.
