Abstract:
Methods of adding substituents to a benzodithiophene are disclosed. A benzodithiophene is reacted with a reagent to directly add the substituent to the benzene core of the benzodithiophene. This method eliminates steps from prior process and eliminates the need for hydrogenation, allowing for a safer and more scaleable process. The resulting benzodithiophenes are suitable for use in semiconductor polymers and have no loss of performance.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide materials and methods for forming highly-conductive features including stabilized silver-containing nanoparticles at low processing temperatures of no more than about 140° C.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to particular radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor modulators, and methods of using these modulators for labeling and diagnostic imaging of Cannabinoid-1 receptors in mammals, particularly humans. In addition, intermediates useful for the synthesis of the radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 receptor modulators are also disclosed, as well as the processes for synthesizing the radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 receptor modulators. Still further, formulations of the radiolabeled Cannabinoid-1 receptor compounds are described.
Abstract:
An ink composition comprises silver nanoparticles, hydrocarbon solvent, and an alcohol co-solvent. The ink composition is suitable for printing conductive lines that are uniform, smooth, and narrow on various substrate surfaces.
Abstract:
A plurality of similarly configured weight plates each with a planar face having a horizontal coupling aperture and a numerical value form a weight stack. A front cover, with a generally rectangular cutout in a central section exposing all of the numerical values and coupling apertures, and a rear cover form a cover assembly.
