We report a rapid postgrafting reaction to prepare alkyl ammonium functionalized polycarbazoles from a commercially available monomer. This novel synthetic approach provides benefit to preparing the high molecular weight quaternized polycarbazoles within 1 h of Friedel-Crafts polycondensation, avoiding the synthesis and purification step to prepare a functionalized monomer. The postgrafting reaction produces hexyl alkyl ammonium functionalized polycarbazole with 100% grafting degree. However, the postgrafting reaction produced only 60% grafting with propyl alkyl ammonium due to the competitive elimination reaction because of the higher acidity of β-hydrogen in the propyl alkyl group resulting from the proximity of the bromide and ammonium groups. The hexyl alkyl ammonium functionalized polycarbazole has a high hydroxide conductivity of 103 mS cm at 80 °C and showed excellent alkaline stability with less than 3% loss of ion group after 1 M NaOH treatment at 80 °C for 500 h. This study highlights that the postgrafting reaction provides a pathway for the scale-up synthesis of quaternized aryl ether-free polyaromatics.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been widely used as a surface coating material, which has been reported to possess dynamic omniphobicity to a wide range of both polar and nonpolar solvents due to its high segmental flexibility and mobility. However, such high flexibility and mobility also enable penetration of small molecules into PDMS coatings, which alter the chemical and physical properties of the coating layers. To improve the anti-penetration properties of PDMS, a series of fluorinated alkyl segments are grafted to a diblock copolymer of polystyrene--poly(vinyl methyl siloxane) (PS--PVMS) using thiol-ene click reactions.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a severe neurological disease for which there is no effective treatment or cure, and therefore it remains an unmet need in medicine. We present data from four participants who received autologous transplantation of small pieces of sural nerve tissue into either the basal forebrain containing the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM) or the midbrain substantia nigra (SN). The grafts did not exhibit significant cell death or severe host-tissue reaction up to 55 months post-grafting and contained peripheral cells.

UV debonding acrylate adhesive (UDAA) plays a crucial role in the semiconductor industry, where its excellent adhesion is required to ensure the stability of silicon wafers and leave no residue on the surface after UV irradiation. The necessary UV debonding is achieved through the formation of rigid networks by the reactions of all the vinyl groups in the system. Acrylate copolymers with vinyl groups are typically obtained by the grafting reaction of isocyanate with a side-chain hydroxyl comonomer.

Currently available DNA detection techniques frequently require compromises between simplicity, speed, accuracy, and cost. Here, we propose a simple, label-free, and cost-effective DNA detection platform developed at screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) modified with reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The preparation of the detection platform involved a two-step electrochemical procedure based on GO reduction onto SPCEs followed by the electrochemical reduction of HAuCl to facilitate the post-grafting reaction with AuNPs.
