Conductive polymer composites (CPCs) with nanocarbon fillers are at the high end of modern materials science, advancing current electronic applications. Herein, we establish the interplay between the chemistry and electrophysical properties of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), separately and as a filler for CPCs with the segregated structure conferred by the chemical composition of the initial graphene oxide (GO). A set of experimental methods, namely X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, van der Paw and temperature-dependent sheet resistance measurements, along with dielectric spectroscopy, are employed to thoroughly examine the derived materials.

A chemical modification of cellulose diacetate by phthalate and nitrate was performed to increase solubility in organic solvents and change the electrical properties. The role of substituents on the conductivity, permittivity, and polarizability of cellulose films is revealed. It has been shown that highly porous micro particles can be obtained from cellulose derivatives by a simple and technological freeze-drying method.

Highly anisometric α-chitin nanoparticles isolated by TEMPO-oxidation were investigated as filler for electrorheological fluids. The dimensions of rod-like particles were determined by AFM and cryo-TEM methods. The rheological behavior of α-chitin nanoparticles in polydimethylsiloxane changes from viscous to elastic under electric field.

Novel porous filler for electrorheological fluids was fabricated from chitosan via freeze drying technique. An exceptional electrorheological effect was discovered in suspensions of polydimethylsiloxane (silicone oil) filled by highly porous chitosan particles. The electrorheological activity was studied by rotational rheometry and visualized by optical microscopy.

Direct fluorination of polymers is a widely utilized technique for chemical modification. Such introduction of fluorine into the chemical structure of polymeric materials leads to laminates with highly fluorinated surface layer. The physicochemical properties of this layer are similar to those of perfluorinated polymers that differ by a unique combination of chemical resistance, weak adhesion, low cohesion, and permittivity, often barrier properties, etc.

The article gives an objective assessment of remote results of surgical treatment of 197 patients who underwent organ-sparing operations combined with vagotomy for ulcer disease. Combined utilization of contemporary roentgenologic and endoscopic techniques allowed some important conclusions of practical value to be drawn.

The authors followed up (for 5-15 years) 256 male patients in whom disease first manifested in adolescence. They identified prognostic signs in the period of manifestations. Stable (over 4 years) remission correlated with an onset characterized by a depressive background, a syndrome of metaphysical intoxication and a correlation between the type of accentuation of the character as determined with help of the Pathocharacterological Diagnostic Questionnaire for adolescents and the clinically-determined premorbid type.
