  • The Origins and Early History of Conjugated Organic Polymers

    Organic Semiconductors, Synthetic Metals, and the Prehistory of Organic Electronics

    by Seth C. Rasmussen ...
    Conjugated organic polymers first drew significant interest in the late 1970s when metallic-looking plastic films of polyacetylene were shown to exhibit conductivities in the metallic regime after treatment with various oxidizing agents. These results formed the basis for awarding Alan MacDiarmid, Alan Heeger, and Hideki Shirakawa the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the "for the discovery and ... Read more

  • Acetylene and Its Polymers

    150+ Years of History

    by Seth C. Rasmussen ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    This Brief presents for the first time a detailed historical overview of the development of acetylene polymers, beginning with the initial discovery of acetylene in 1836 and continuing up through the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The polymerization of acetylene is most commonly associated with polyacetylene, which was found to be conductive when treated with oxidizing agents such as Br2 or I2 in ... Read more

  • The Quest for Aqua Vitae

    The History and Chemistry of Alcohol from Antiquity to the Middle Ages

    by Seth C. Rasmussen ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, is one of the most ubiquitous chemical compounds in the history of the chemical sciences. The generation of alcohol via fermentation is also one of the oldest forms of chemical technology, with the production of fermented beverages such as mead, beer and wine predating the smelting of metals. By the 12th century, the ability to isolate alcohol from wine had moved this ... Read more

  • How Glass Changed the World

    The History and Chemistry of Glass from Antiquity to the 13th Century

    by Seth C. Rasmussen ...
    Series series Chemistry and Material Science (R0)
    Glass production is thought to date to ~2500 BC and had found numerous uses by the height of the Roman Empire. Yet the modern view of glass-based chemical apparatus (beakers, flasks, stills, etc.) was quite limited due to a lack of glass durability under rapid temperature changes and chemical attack. This “brief” gives an overview of the history and chemistry of glass technology from its origins ... Read more

  • An Introduction to Distance Measurement in Astronomy

    by Richard de Grijs ...
    Distance determination is an essential technique in astronomy, and is briefly covered in most textbooks on astrophysics and cosmology. It is rarely covered as a coherent topic in its own right. When it is discussed the approach is frequently very dry, splitting the teaching into, for example, stars, galaxies and cosmologies, and as a consequence, books lack depth and are rarely comprehensive ...
