We report a novel strategy to study the chain dynamics of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) in a relative concentrated solution (1.0 g/L). The strategy is based on the fluorescent probe (DCTPE) with unique aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics. Free DCTPE molecules are non-emissive in aqueous solution, but they become highly emissive when trapped in polymer coils. The fluorescence intensity is proportional to the efficiency of trapping DCTPE molecules in polymer coils. By correlation the change of fluorescence intensity with the variation of pH value (from 1.78 to 12.06), the PAA chain's dynamics in the relatively concentrated solution have been elucidated into three processes. In the pH range from 12.06 to 6.0, PAA chains take an extended and non-folding conformation. Changing pH from 6.0 to 3.86, PAA chains are partially protonated and loosely packed polymer coils are formed. Further lowering the pH value of the solution (from 3.86 to 1.78), protonated segments dominate the PAA chains, and at the same time, the intermolecular hydrogen bonding takes effect, thus the polymer chains posses in the conformation of more compact coils.

A search in the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge in January 2012,with the terms"organic solar cells/organic photovoltaics"was used to compile a list of 8962 papers written by 15374 individual authors(excluding reviews and conference proceedings).Solar cell data and bibliographic information was extracted from each of these papers(26 data fields)to create an overview of all OPV data reported to that date.1 The rate of publications shows a rapid exponential increase over a little more than a decade underlining the massive interest in this field of *** of the interesting findings is that there seems to be a universal correlation between the maximum power conversion efficiency(PCEMAX)and the short circuit current(JSC)which holds for all types of PV technologies(except for a few GaAs type cells).

A numerical method is developed to compute the development of molecular weight distribution (MWD) curves of linear polymers undergoing chain scission. The method can be applied to complex chain scission kinetics and for arbitrarily complex initial MWD curves. Our method is based on the method of lines (MoL). Different from the existing numerical scheme, we propose the use of logarithmically spaced points. This development ensures the accuracy of the computed MWD curves at low molecular weights, and it does not require a very fine discretization to produce an accurate result.
