Lyman line opacities in tokamak divertor plasmas under high-recycling and detached conditions

Radiation transport simulations of the deuterium Lyman line series using EIRENE predict a factor of 2 increase of Balmer-α emission in the JET-ILW low confinement divertor plasmas in high-recycling and detached conditions caused by the re-absorption of Lyman-β emission. The photon tracing model in the EIRENE code is applied to SOLPS-ITER pure deuterium plasma solutions of JET-ILW to evaluate the contribution of Lyman-β capture towards the population density of D(p=3) and, consequently, the Balmer-α emission. The local population escape factors of Lyman-α and Lyman-β lines in the JET-ILW divertor show steep spatial gradients and indicate local regions with high opacity in high-recycling and detached conditions. The relative contribution of Lyman-β capture towards the population density of D(p=3) is significant in high-recycling and detached conditions. This observation is further corroborated by line-integrated calculations using Balmer-α diagnostic line-of-sights.

Association of High-Risk Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Artificial Intelligence-Guided, CT-Based Severity Scores in Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia.

Background: We have previously demonstrated that high-risk obstructive sleep apnea (HR-OSA), based on a modified Berlin Questionnaire (mBQ), is linked to worse clinical outcomes. Chest computed tomography (CT) imaging with the implementation of an artificial intelligence (AI) analysis program has been a valuable tool for the speedy assessment of huge numbers of patients during the COVID-19 epidemic. In the current study, we addressed how the severity of AI-guided, CT-based total opacity ratio (TOR) scores are associated with high-risk OSA and short-term outcomes in the same cohort. Methods: The ratio of the volume of high opacity areas to that of the total lung volume constituted the TOR. We arbitrarily applied thresholds of <5 (no or mild TOR), ≥5 and <15 (moderate TOR), and ≥15 (severe TOR). Results: In total, 221 patients were included. HR-OSA was observed among 11.0% of the no or mild TOR group, 22.2% of the moderate TOR group, and 38.7% of the severe TOR group (p < 0.001). In a logistic regression analysis, HR-OSA was associated with a severe TOR with an adjusted odds ratio of 3.06 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27-7.44; p = 0.01). A moderate TOR predicted clinical worsening with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.93 (95% CI 1.00-3.72; p = 0.05) and a severe TOR predicted worsening with an HR of 3.06 (95% CI 1.56-5.99; p = 0.001). Conclusions: Our results offer additional radiological proof of the relationship between HR-OSA and worse outcomes in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. A TOR may also potentially indicate the individuals that are at higher risk of HR-OSA, enabling early intervention and management strategies. The clinical significance of TOR thresholds needs further evaluation in larger samples.

Synchrotron-driven Instabilities in Relativistic Plasmas of Arbitrary Opacity

Recent work has shown that synchrotron emission from relativistic plasmas leads the electron distribution to form an anisotropic ring in momentum space, which can be unstable to both kinetic and hydrodynamic instabilities. Fundamental to these works was the assumption that the plasma was optically thin, allowing all emitted radiation to escape. Here, we examine the behavior of these instabilities as the plasma becomes more optically thick. To do this, we extend a recently developed Fokker–Planck operator for synchrotron emission and absorption in mildly relativistic plasmas to ultrarelativistic plasmas. For a given set of plasma parameters, photons emitted by higher-energy electrons tend to be higher frequency, and thus more easily escape the plasma. As a result, the ratio of the photon emission rate (radiative drag) to absorption rate (radiative diffusion) for a given electron is extremely energy dependent. Given this behavior, we determine the critical parameters that control the opacity, and show how the plasma gradually transitions to become more isotropic and stable at higher opacity.

Effects of Radiative Transfer on the Observed Anisotropy in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulent Molecular Simulations

We study the anisotropy of centroid and integrated intensity maps with synthetic observations. We perform postprocess radiative transfer including the optically thick regime that was not covered in Hernández-Padilla et al. We consider the emission in various CO molecular lines that range from optically thin to optically thick (12CO, 13CO, C18O, and C17O). The results for the velocity centroids are similar to those in the optically thin case. For instance, the anisotropy observed can be attributed to the Alfvén mode, which dominates over the slow and fast modes when the line of sight is at a high inclination with respect to the mean magnetic field. A few differences arise in the models with higher opacity, where some dependence on the sonic Mach number becomes evident. In contrast to the optically thin case, maps of integrated intensity become more anisotropic in optically thick lines. In this situation the scales probed are restricted, due to absorption, to smaller scales, which are known to be more anisotropic. We discuss how the sonic Mach number can affect the latter results, with highly supersonic cases exhibiting a lower degree of anisotropy.

생분해성 PLA-PHA 폴리머 블로운 압출 가공 특성

As delivery culture grows rapidly, global regulations on disposable products and packaging materials are being strengthened. The use of various chemical additives and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plasticizers in the packaging material manufacturing process has been confirmed to cause water pollution and microplastics. Therefore, it is important to develop biodegradable packaging materials. When polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) is mixed with polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PLA), a biodegradable petroleum material, its applications in food and medical device packaging are limited owing to its low tensile strength and high opacity. However, the plant-based PLA composite material with added PHA exhibits excellent blown extrusion processability, improved tensile strength (MPa) by 32%, and improved transparency by more than 80%. Furthermore, in a comparative study, it was determined that the tensile strength of the composite material can be improved by 170% by changing the biodegradable mixing ratio. The composite material, which comprises PHA, is a white bioplastic known for its significant carbon reduction effect. It is expected to serve as a sustainable material for future generations.

Dielectric barrier discharge plasma: A green and novel method to change the structure of taro peel starch and improve the physicochemical properties of taro peel starch films

AbstractThe present study examined the impact of dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma treatment on the physicochemical characteristics of taro peel starch (TPS) and its films. This work reports for the first time on using native and modified TPS in the casting procedure to develop packaging films. The results showed that, as plasma exposure voltage and treatment time prolonged, the pH, 955 cm−1/1022 cm−1, % crystallinity, and turbidity of TPS significantly decreased, while amylose content, solubility, and 1047 cm−1/1022 cm−1 of TPS increased considerably. Despite this, modified TPS‐based films have comparatively smooth and homogeneous surfaces. Moreover, the modified starch‐based film exhibited the lowest water vapor permeability, elongation at break, and solubility, while highest opacity and tensile strength.

Blends of Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Cottonseed Protein as Biodegradable Films.

With the increasing awareness of plastic pollution in the environment and the accumulation of microplastics in water, a significant amount of research and development is ongoing to replace the synthetic plastics in packaging and coatings. In this work, we explored the blends of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and washed cottonseed meal (CSM, consisting mostly of cottonseed protein) as agro-based, biodegradable, and sustainable alternatives to plastics. Glycerol was found to be a suitable plasticizer for these blends. The blends of CMC/CSM were produced as single-layer films from 50 to 90 μm in thickness, consisting of different proportions of the components and plasticizer. The evaluated properties included opacity, water vapor permeability, mechanical properties, thermogravimetric analysis, moisture sorption analysis, and water swelling test. Higher percentages of CSM in the blend resulted in higher opacity and lower water vapor permeation rates. The mechanical strength waned with lower levels of CMC. Possible applications for these blends include their use as water-soluble food packaging and coatings and as dissolvable bags and pouches for detergents and agrochemicals.

Model magnetospheric accretion and bipolar jets with intense lasers

Astronomical observations show that classical T Tauri stars (TTSs) always possess active accretion activity and jet launching. However, limited by high dust opacity and observation resolution, direct investigations of the details are arduous. The physics of the accretion activity and the jet formation is still an open question. In this paper, we carry out the experiment with intense lasers irradiating a newly designed eight-coil capacitor target. We observe a process in laboratory which is similar to the truncation process of the magnetospheric accretion around TTSs. Both impediment processes result from a relatively strong magnetic field compared to the ram and thermal pressures of the material. We also observe a jet formation process in laboratory which is similar to the jet formation model proposed by Cantó et al (1988). Both formation processes result from converging supersonic flows. At last, we discuss the feasibility of a jet formation model based on magnetospheric accretion.

Investigation of TiO2 replacement alternatives for water-based paints using styrene butyl acrylate

Purpose Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has high opacity, high brightness and whiteness, owing to its high refractive index value. It is mainly used in the coating industry and continuous efforts have been made to replace some of the TiO2 in paint with new pigments. This study aims to replace part of TiO2 pigment with various percentages of BaSO4, CaCO3 and kaolin in styrene butyl acrylate-based paint formulations, without changing the properties of paints using only titanium dioxide. Design/methodology/approach To determine the optimum use rate of new pigment mixing, opacity, gloss, scrub resistance and weather resistance properties have been investigated in the water-based paint formulation. The morphological properties of these samples were examined by scanning electron microscopy analysis. Findings In the total color change (ΔE) measurements, it was observed that the sample coded 85Ti/15Ba produced extremely similar results to the situation when TiO2 was used alone. It was seen that the best results were obtained when 85Ti/15Ba was used instead of TiO2. Originality/value Comparison research on the impact of replacing TiO2 with BaSO4, CaCO3 and kaolin on the performance characteristics of water-based styrene butyl acrylate-based paint formulations has not been done in the literature, according to the literature search.

Exploring the potential of jujube seed powder in polysaccharide based functional film: Characterization, properties and application in fruit preservation

In this study, we fabricated a novel biodegradable functional film using natural polysaccharides by adding jujube seed powder as an active ingredient. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed agglomerate formation in the film with increasing concentration of seed powder. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy study demonstrated an electrostatic interaction between pectin and chitosan. The water solubility and swelling degree significantly decreased from 55.5 to 47.7 % and 66.0 to 41.9 %, respectively, depicting the film's water resistance properties. Higher opacity and lower transmittance value of the film indicated its protective effect towards light-induced oxidation of food. It was observed that the fabricated active film biodegraded to 82.33 % in 6 days. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of 98.02 % was observed for the functional film. The film showed antifungal activity against B. cinerea and P. chrysogenum. The highest zone of inhibition was obtained against food spoiling bacteria B. subtilis followed by S. aureus, P. aeruginosa and E. coli. Genotoxicity studies with the fabricated film showed a mitotic index of 8 % compared to 3 % in the control film. We used the fabricated film to preserve grapefruits, and the result showed that it could preserve grapes for ten days with an increase in antioxidant activity and polyphenolic content.

Керамика на основе сложнооксидного твердого раствора диоксида циркония в тетрагональной форме для ортопедической стоматологии

The paper deals with physical and mechanical properties of ceramic material containing complex oxide solid solution Zr1–n[YbNd]nO2 and corundum microfase, taking into account aesthetic and strength requirements of clinical practice of prosthetic dentistry. It has been shown that the developed ceramic has a static bending strength of 850 MPa and according to the international standard ISO 6872:2015 “Dentistry – Ceramic materials” belongs to the 4th and 5th class of dental ceramic materials. This makes it possible to use it for the manufacture of not only single crowns, but also four-units dentures of any localization and any type of fixation. The developed ceramics meet the requirements of prosthetic dentistry and color characteristics, have high opacity, which makes it possible to mask the color of supporting structures.

Carrageenan and bentonite as wet strength agents in the process of making nautical chart paper

Indonesia is a strategic maritime country, especially in terms of trade and economy. The most vital defense is Indonesian waters in the form of shipping by the Indonesian Navy. The support is in the form of nautical chart paper which is strong and waterproof. Natural paper reinforcement needs to be added because synthetic materials contain monomer groups, can damage the environment and are difficult to grade. Examples of natural agents are carrageenan and bentonite which work to form hydrogen bonds with cellulose fibers, thereby increasing the strength of paper. The research aims to study the effect of carrageenan and bentonite on opacity, tearing, tensile, wet index, and Cobb. The highest opacity was 100.2% in carrageenan with a dose of 14%. The highest tearing was in the mixed agent, amounting to 745.87 mN at a dose of 14%. The highest tensile dose of 14% was 1.58 kgf/15mm. The highest wet index dose is 14%, which is 2.55% of the mixed agent. The best Cobb for mixed agents with a dose of 14% was 67.09 g/m2. In conclusion, carrageenan and bentonite have potential as wet strength agents in making nautical chart paper.

COVLIAS 3.0: cloud-based quantized hybrid UNet3+ deep learning for COVID-19 lesion detection in lung computed tomography.

When RT-PCR is ineffective in early diagnosis and understanding of COVID-19 severity, Computed Tomography (CT) scans are needed for COVID diagnosis, especially in patients having high ground-glass opacities, consolidations, and crazy paving. Radiologists find the manual method for lesion detection in CT very challenging and tedious. Previously solo deep learning (SDL) was tried but they had low to moderate-level performance. This study presents two new cloud-based quantized deep learning UNet3+ hybrid (HDL) models, which incorporated full-scale skip connections to enhance and improve the detections. Annotations from expert radiologists were used to train one SDL (UNet3+), and two HDL models, namely, VGG-UNet3+ and ResNet-UNet3+. For accuracy, 5-fold cross-validation protocols, training on 3,500 CT scans, and testing on unseen 500 CT scans were adopted in the cloud framework. Two kinds of loss functions were used: Dice Similarity (DS) and binary cross-entropy (BCE). Performance was evaluated using (i) Area error, (ii) DS, (iii) Jaccard Index, (iii) Bland-Altman, and (iv) Correlation plots. Among the two HDL models, ResNet-UNet3+ was superior to UNet3+ by 17 and 10% for Dice and BCE loss. The models were further compressed using quantization showing a percentage size reduction of 66.76, 36.64, and 46.23%, respectively, for UNet3+, VGG-UNet3+, and ResNet-UNet3+. Its stability and reliability were proved by statistical tests such as the Mann-Whitney, Paired t-Test, Wilcoxon test, and Friedman test all of which had a p < 0.001. Full-scale skip connections of UNet3+ with VGG and ResNet in HDL framework proved the hypothesis showing powerful results improving the detection accuracy of COVID-19.

Optimization of an edible film formulation by incorporating carrageenan and red wine lees into fish gelatin film matrix

The study aimed to use response surface methodology (RSM) to create and understand a novel edible film made from fish gelatin (FG). This film includes wine lees (WL) and carrageenan (CAR). The concentrations of WL (0, 1, 2, and 3 %) and CAR (0, 1, and 3 %) were considered independent variables. The process variable combinations for the optimal response functions were 1.926 % WL and 3 % CAR, forming soft and rigid films with low tensile strength (TS) and high elongation at break (EAB%). Based on the evaluation of each response, FG film had the highest TS value, FG/CAR(3 %) film had the maximum EAB, and FG/WL (3 %)/CAR (3 %) film had the lowest vapor permeability (WVP) and the highest opacity (OP). The incorporation of WL considerably improved the functional properties of these films, enabling strong antioxidant activity and high phenolic content. Characterization of the films with analytical techniques: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated a considerable interaction between WL and FG, indicating a high level of compatibility between the two substances. Our data suggest that the formulation of edible films can be adjusted to fit the specific requirements of the design.

Influence of Compounding Parameters on Color Space and Properties of Thermoplastics with Ultramarine Blue Pigment.

The incorporation of thermoplastics with pigments imparts diverse aesthetic qualities and properties to colored thermoplastic products. The selection of pigment type and content, along with specific processing conditions, plays a pivotal role in influencing color properties and overall product performance. This study focuses on optimizing these parameters to ensure the desired color quality and product functionality. Two types of polypropylene copolymer (PPCP) with different melt flow rates (MFRs) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) were compounded with ultramarine blue pigment masterbatch (MB) in concentrations ranging from 1 to 5 wt.% using a twin-screw extruder. The compounding process was conducted at a constant screw speed of 200 rpm and a die temperature of 210 °C. The effects of screw speed and die temperature were investigated at a constant MB of 3 wt.%. Colored samples were fabricated by injection molding. Microscopic analysis revealed a well-dispersed pigment within the PPCP matrix when using the MB. Rheological properties, assessed through the power law index, confirmed effective pigment dispersion, facilitated by shear thinning behavior and controlled shear rate via the manipulation of screw speed and die temperature. The effects of masterbatch contents and processing conditions on color spaces were evaluated using CIELAB and CIELCH, with one-way ANOVA employed to identify statistical significance. Higher opacity in high-MFR PPCP and ABS resulted in increased lightness and color strength, surpassing low-MFR PPCP by 15-40% at equivalent MB contents. Masterbatch content emerged as a significant factor influencing the color spaces of all colored thermoplastics. Further analysis, including Fisher pairwise comparisons of one-way ANOVA, revealed that screw speed influenced the redness and hue of low-MFR PPCP, whereas die temperature affected the lightness and hue of high-MFR PPCP and ABS. Interestingly, the blueness and chroma of colored thermoplastics were minimally affected by both screw speed and die temperature. Notably, regardless of processing conditions, the flexural properties of colored thermoplastics remained comparable to the neat polymer when incorporated with ultramarine blue pigment masterbatch.

An emerging sustainable approach for development and characterization of gluten-based nanocomposite films reinforced with starch nanocrystals in conjugation with chitosan

The present study aimed to access the influence of starch nanocrystals (SNCs) with chitosan on functionality of gluten-based bionanocomposite films. Films were reinforced with SNCs (1, 2, and 3 %) along with chitosan (1.5 % and 2.5 %) and characterized for their functional, barrier, morphological, biodegradable, and antimicrobial properties. Results showed that water absorption capacity, solubility, and water vapour transmission rate were significantly (P < 0.05) reduced with the incorporation of SNCs and chitosan, however, highest tensile strength (40.82 MPa) and elongation at break (31.09 %) were observed in 2 % of SNCs and 2.5 % of chitosan. The multifunctional films have high opacity (lightness value >90) confirming with higher thickness (0.17–0.22 mm) of films. X-ray diffraction studies interpret no significant change in A-type crystallinity of the base biopolymer. Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that bionanocomposite films have fewer surface cracks, less configuration, and crystallinity changes in the composite structure of biopolymer. Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed no differences in the bands, suggesting a positive molecular association confirming the synergistic effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and SNCs on gluten in comparison to control film. However, chitosan in films enhanced antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, showing 13.05 mm and 16.66 mm of a zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Furthermore, all films showed noticeable degradation >95 % within 55 days under soil conditions. In summary, the addition of SNCs and chitosan produced a stronger/antibacterial film comparable to plastic films for commercialized food packaging industries.

Alumina-toughened zirconia nanocomposite: Aging effect on microstructural, optical, and mechanical properties.

To process an alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ) nanocomposite and to characterize its crystalline phases, microstructure, residual stress, mechanical and optical properties before and after two different artificial aging methodologies. Disc-shaped specimens were obtained through uniaxial pressing of a commercial ATZ powder comprised of 80%ZrO2 / 20%Al2O3, with a particle size of 50nm and 150nm, respectively. Sintering was performed at 1500ºC for 2h. Groups were established according to the aging protocol as immediate (ATZ-I) and aged either in autoclave (ATZ-A) or hydrothermal reactor (ATZ-R) at 134 ºC for 20h at 2.2bar. Crystalline phases and microstructure were assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Residual stress was evaluated by Raman spectroscopy. Contrast Ratio (CR) and Translucency Parameter (TP) were calculated to characterize optical properties. Mechanical properties were analyzed through Vickers microhardness, fracture toughness, and biaxial flexural strength test. XRD spectra of both aging protocols revealed the presence of monoclinic zirconia (20-31%), where higher phase transformation was observed after aging in hydrothermal reactor. Optical properties evaluation demonstrated high opacity (CR: 0.99) and masking ability (TP: 0.26), with no significant differences after aging. Raman spectroscopy evidenced the presence of residual compressive stresses in the aged groups, being significantly higher for ATZ-R (-215.2MPa). As-sintered specimens revealed hardness of ∼12.3GPa and fracture toughness of ∼1.9MPa.m1/2. Characteristic strength was 740MPa for ATZ-I, 804MPa for ATZ-A, and 879MPa for ATZ-R, with significant differences between groups. Weibull modulus ranged from 16.5 to 18.8. All groups demonstrated high reliability up to 500MPa stress missions (99-100%), with no significant differences after aging. The experimental ATZ nanocomposite presented high opacity and a high Weibull modulus. While aging created internal compressive stress responsible for an increase in characteristic strength, the nanocomposite was susceptible to hydrothermal degradation. Further studies are required to evaluate its degradation kinetics at low temperatures.

Searching for temporary gamma-ray dark blazars associated with IceCube neutrinos

Context. Tensions between the diffuse gamma-ray sky observed by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) and the diffuse, high-energy neutrino sky detected by the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory raise questions about our knowledge of high-energy neutrino sources in the gamma-ray regime. While blazars are among the most energetic persistent particle accelerators in the Universe, studies suggest that they could account for up to 10–30% of the neutrino flux measured by IceCube. Aims. Our recent results highlight that the associated IceCube neutrinos arrived in a local gamma-ray minimum (dip) of three strong neutrino point-source candidates. Here, we increase the sample of neutrino-source candidates in order to study their gamma-ray light curves. Methods. We generated the one-year Fermi-LAT light curve for eight neutrino-source candidate blazars (RBS 0958, GB6 J1040+0617, PKS 1313-333, TXS 0506+056, PKS 1454-354, NVSS J042025-374443, PKS 0426-380, and PKS 1502+106), centered on the detection time of the associated IceCube neutrinos. We applied the Bayesian block algorithm to the light curves to characterize their variability. Results. Our results indicate that GB6 J1040+0617 was in a phase of high gamma-ray activity, while none of the other seven neutrino-source candidates were statistically bright during the detection of the corresponding neutrinos; indeed, most of the time neutrinos arrived in a faint gamma-ray phase of the light curves. This suggests either that the eight source candidate blazars (associated with seven neutrino events) in our reduced sample are not the sources of the corresponding IceCube neutrinos, or that an in-source effect (e.g., the suppression of gamma rays due to high gamma-gamma opacity) complicates the multimessenger scenario of neutrino emission for these blazars.

The Relationship between IGM Lyα Opacity and Galaxy Density near the End of Reionization

Observed scatter in the Lyα opacity of quasar sightlines at z < 6 has motivated measurements of the correlation between Lyα opacity and galaxy density, as models that predict this scatter make strong and sometimes opposite predictions for how they should be related. Our previous work associated two highly opaque Lyα troughs at z ∼ 5.7 with a deficit of Lyα emitting galaxies (LAEs). In this work, we survey two of the most highly transmissive lines of sight at this redshift toward the z = 6.02 quasar SDSS J1306+0356 and the z = 6.17 quasar PSO J359-06. We find that both fields are underdense in LAEs within 10 h −1 Mpc of the quasar sightline, somewhat less extensive than underdensities associated with Lyα troughs. We combine our observations with three additional fields from the literature and find that while fields with extreme opacities are generally underdense, moderate opacities span a wider density range. The results at high opacities are consistent with models that invoke UV background fluctuations and/or late reionization to explain the observed scatter in intergalactic medium (IGM) Lyα opacities. There is tension at low opacities, however, as the models tend to associate lower IGM Lyα opacities with higher densities. Although the number of fields surveyed is still small, the low-opacity results may support a scenario in which the ionizing background in low-density regions increases more rapidly than some models suggest after becoming ionized. Elevated gas temperatures from recent reionization may also be making these regions more transparent.

Design, synthesis, and properties of soluble intrinsic black polyimide bearing tetraphenylcyclopentadienone units

AbstractBlack polyimides (BPIs) have gained increasing attention because of their growing demands in optoelectronic areas. However, the commonly used BPI containing carbon black suffers from the decreases of mechanical and electrical performances. In this work, a soluble intrinsic BPI (TPCPDFPPI) was prepared by the reaction of 4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and a new diamine (TPCPDFPDA) bearing tetraphenylcyclopentadienone (TPCP) connected with benzene and fluorene units. TPCP grafted with benzene and fluorene units acted as a chromophore that shifted the absorption range of PI toward the long‐wave direction. The resulting TPCPDFPPI possessed whole visible‐light absorption characteristic and therefore exhibited high blackness and opacity. Additionally, TPCPDFPPI displayed superior solubility, mechanical and electrical performance. Theoretical calculations exhibited that the visible‐light absorption responsible for the blackness of TPCPDFPPI was chiefly ascribed to the HOMO to LUMO electron transition in the diamines, where the electrons were primarily migrated from the 2,5‐position aryl groups to the cyclopentadienone. This work offers a promising strategy for improving the overall properties of BPIs for photo‐electronic areas.
