  Direct observation and mutual diffusion of cyclic polymers

  Isolated molecules of cyclic polymers were directly observed by atomic force microscopy. Interdiffusion of cyclic polystyrene/cyclic deuterated polystyrene bilayer films were investigated as functions of temperature and molecular weight by dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy.

  Two-dimensionally extended organic high-spin poly(aminium cationic radical)s and their magnetic force microscopic images

  High-molecular-weight and soluble two-dimensionally extended aromatic polyamines, prepared by palladium-catalyzed polycondensation, were oxidized to afford the corresponding poly(aminium cationic radical)s, which showed an average spin alignment of 8–9 unpaired electrons at low temperature. The polyradicals were substantially stable at room temperature, which enabled us to visualize the single polyradicals as a nanoscale magnetic dot image by using magnetic force microscopy.
