However, the highest content of β phase obtained so far is 45%. We propose to increase the content of β phase by promoting the solution aggregation of PFO molecules and extending film-forming time. For this purpose, 1,8-diiodooctane (DIO) is added to PFO o-xylene solution, which enhances the interaction of PFO chains and improves the planarity of PFO backbone, resulting in the formation of ordered aggregation. The aggregates act as nucleation centers to promote the formation of β phase. The content of β phase increases with increasing DIO concentration and reaches a platform of 39% as DIO is more than 4 vol%. Furthermore, the film is kept in a sealed environment with oxylene atmosphere for 3 h, thus the PFO molecules have enough time to diffuse to the crystallization front and achieve disorder-order transition. As a result, the crystallinity of PFO is improved significantly and the content of β phase increases to 52%, reaching the highest value reported so far.展开更多

This paper considers the portfolio selection problemsunder a general setting of uncertain states without probability. The investor's preferenceis based on his optimum degree about the nature, and his attitude can be described by anOrdered Weighted Averaging Aggregation function. We construct the OWA portfolio selection model, which is a nonlinear programming problem. The problem can be equivalentlytransformed into a mixed integer linear programming. A numerical example is given andthe solutions imply that the investor's strategies depend not only on his optimum degreebut also on his preference weight vector. The general game-theoretical portfolio selectionmethod, max-min method and competitive ratio method are all the special settings of thismodel.展开更多
A novel blue light-emitting coil-rod-coil triblock oligomer, PEO-PHP-PEO, which consists of para-hexaphenyl (PHP) as the rigid rod and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, M w = 750) as the flexible coil, has been synthesized. ...A novel blue light-emitting coil-rod-coil triblock oligomer, PEO-PHP-PEO, which consists of para-hexaphenyl (PHP) as the rigid rod and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, M w = 750) as the flexible coil, has been synthesized. It is the first soluble poly(para-phenylene) molecule containing no lateral substituent, which can dissolve not only in organic solvents such as chloroform and THF, but also in water. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of PEO-PHP-PEO in water is 5.25×10-4 mol·L-1 and the surface tension at CMC, 鉉MC, is 61.29 mN·m-1. The absorption peak of the molecularly dissolved PEO-PHP-PEO in water is centered at 323 nm and the fluorescence spectrum has a maximum at 432 nm and shows the vibronic fine structure typical of molecular dissolution. The photoluminescence spectrum of the aggregate solution is similar to that of the PHP polycrystal film, indicating that the ordered packing of PHP block has taken place due to a combination of hydrophobic interaction and p-p stacking. The oligomer self-assembles into cotton-like nanofibers with diameter of about 20 nm in 5.0×10-3 mol·L-1 aqueous solution.展开更多

The LB multilayers of pure C 60Be showed Jaggregate formation, characterized by a large redshift of two absorption peaks （ΔE～2 098 cm -1 from 260→275 nm and ΔE～1 076 cm -1 from 328→340 nm, respectively）. The main fluorescence emission bands were found at 710, 646, 603, 600 and 595 nm for pure C 60-Be, mixed C 60-Be （molar percentage 50%, 25% and 20%, respectively） multilayers and monomeric C 60-Be in solution, respectively. The aggregates were dissociated by mixing with some inert materials. The fluorescence decay profiles of C 60-Be, mixed C 60-Be （molar percentage 50%, 25% and 20%, respectively） in LB films could be bestfitted by using a biexponential decay model.展开更多

The construction of highly ordered and discrete multirotaxanes with the well-defined structure remains a challenge. Herein, a symmetric [5]rotaxane with zinc porphyrin as core and the neutral platinum-acetylide as the linkage was synthesized with high yield. The [5]rotaxane was well characterized with NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Interestingly, it was found that the [5]rotaxane showed the controllable aggregation behaviours in different solution compositions. For example, in non-polar solution, the [5]rotaxane could self-assemble into the largescaled solid nanospheres while the nanofibers were formed in polar solvent. Further investigation revealed that the [5]rotaxane displayed J-type aggregation in solution driven by p-p interaction. Notably,the similar structure without DPP[5]A formed the irregular morphology at the same condition,suggesting that the existence of rotaxanes endowed the complex with a relative rigid structure to facilitate the formation of the ordered aggregates.展开更多

Within the current context of the OWA operator, the methods for aggregating metasearch engine results are divided into two kinds. One has a unique solution, and the other has multiple solutions. The proposed method not only has crisp weights, but also provides multiple aggregation results for decision makers to choose from. In order to prove the application of the ME-OWA operator method, under the context of aggregating metasearch engine results, an example is given, which shows the results obtained by the ME-OWA operator method and the minimax linear programming （ minimax-LP ） method. Comparison between these two methods are also made. The results show that the ME-OWA operator has nearly the same aggregation results as those of the minimax-LP method.展开更多

Some methods depending on the input arguments are given to determine the weights associated with the OWD measure. The prominent characteristic of the OWD measure is that it can relieve （or intensify） the influence of unduly large or unduly small deviations on the aggregation results by assigning them low （or high） weights. This desirable characteristic makes the OWD measure very suitable to be used in many actual fields, including group decision making, medical diagnosis, data mining, and pattern recognition, etc. Finally, based on the OWD measure, we develop a group decision making approach, and illustrate it with a numerical example.展开更多
