Synergy ofMaterial, Structure and Cell by Arkady Voloshin* in Research & Developmentin Material Science The contemporary materials provide not only the load-bearing capacity for various engineering structures, but also may serve as a support and living environment for living systems, like cells. This type of material is often called biomaterial. Biomaterial is defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. https://crimsonpublishers.com/rdms/fulltext/RDMS.000521.php For more Open access journals in  Crimson Publishers  please click on below link https://crimsonpublishers.com For more article in  Research & Development in Material Science  please click on below link https://crimsonpublishers.com/rdms/  

Fullerene Functionalized Thiophene Derivative as an Acceptor Material for Organic Photovoltaics by Ranjith Kottokkaran* in Research & Development in Material Science A functionalized fuller pyrrolidine derivative of 4, 7-di (thiophen-2-yl)-2, 1, 3-benzothiadiazole (F-DTBT) was designed and synthesized by 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. This thermally stable fullerene derivative exhibits an absorption peak at 425nm along with the characteristic peak of fullerene. This functionalized derivative shows deeper HOMO level, -6.16eV and higher LUMO level -3.6eV compared to C60PCBM. Bulk heterojunction solar cells were fabricated using F-DTBT as the acceptor and P3HT as the donor material . The preliminary result shows a power conversion of efficiency of 1.1% with a Voc of 0.61V, a Jsc of 6.1mAcm-2 and a fill factor of 29%. This functionalized DTBT with fullerene could be a stronger acceptor moiety compared to PCBM and could be a promising candidate for organic photovoltaics....
