The present invention provides a unit or segment having a ball, a socket and a connector with the connector physically linking the ball and socket together such that a main opening of the socket continuous with the socket cavity faces away from the connected ball. Alternatively, a unit / segment may instead include a ball and a socket coupled directly together. Elongated structures comprising a plurality of units joined together in series, such as through ball joints and other connections, are further provided that may vary greatly in length and size. The ball and socket may have corresponding electromagnets and magnetic materials, respectively, that may attract or repel each other to cause controlled rotational movement of the individual ball joint(s) by controlling the operation of the electromagnets. Higher order structures including one or more elongated structures are further provided. Methods for constructing and / or operating units and / or elongated structures are further provided.

A molten polypropylene having such a stereoregularity that the isotactic pentad fraction is 95% by mole or more is allowed to flow. The molten polypropylene is cooled to a temperature of -200 to 50 DEG C (inclusive), and is maintained at that temperature for 0.1 to 100 seconds (inclusive), thereby producing a rapidly cooled polypropylene high-order structure mainly composed of a mesophase or monoclinic domain having a size of 100 nm or smaller and an amorphous phase. The rapidly cooled polypropylene high-order structure is heated to a temperature that falls within a temperature range in which endothermic transfer occurs and that is equal to orlower than the melting temperature of the polypropylene.

The present invention relates to a highly conductive material formed by hybridization of a metal nanomaterial and a carbon nanomaterial having a higher-order structure due to multiple hydrogen bonding, and to a manufacturing method therefor. The technical essence of the present invention is a highly conductive material formed by hybridization of a metal nanomaterial and a carbon nanomaterial having a higher-order structure due to multiple hydrogen bonding the invention involving: forming a carbon nanomaterial having a higher-order structure due to multiple hydrogen bonding between conductive carbon nanomaterials by introducing a functional group capable of multiple hydrogen bonding to the carbon nanomaterials; forming a composite material by mixing the carbon nanomaterial having a higher-order structure and a metal nanomaterial.

The present invention relates to a carbon nanomaterial having a higher order structure by means of multiple hydrogen bonds and to a method for preparing same. One of the key technical features of the present invention is a carbon nanomaterial having a higher order structure, in which a functional group capable of multiple hydrogen bonds reacts with a conductive carbon nanomaterial, into which said functional group is introduced by a surface modification to be functionalized, thus enabling multiple hydrogen bonds between carbon nanomaterials. In addition, another of the key technical features of the present invention is a method for preparing a carbon nanomaterial having a higher order structure by means of multiple hydrogen bonds, comprising: a first step of modifying the surface of a carbon nanomaterial to introduce a functional group for multiple hydrogen bonds into a conductive carbon nanomaterial; a second step of introducing a functional group capable of multiple hydrogen bonds by the reaction with the carbon nanomaterial functionalized in the first step; and a third step of preparing a paste using the carbon nanomaterial of the second step into which the multiple hydrogen bonds are introduced. As described above, a functional group capable of three or more multiple hydrogen bonds is introduced into a conductive carbon nanomaterial such as a carbon nanotube, graphene, carbon fiber or carbon black, thus inducing the formation of a supramolecular structure between materials and thus enabling the carbon nanomaterial of the present invention to be used for printed electronics. Furthermore, the carbon nanomaterial of the present invention can be utilized as an electrode for an energy storage element such as a secondary battery or a super capacitor when formed into a sheet-type conductive membrane, and can be applied for manufacturing conductive fibers.

Peptide nucleic acids and analogues of peptide nucleic acids are used to form duplex, triplex, and other structures with nucleic acids and to modify nucleic acids. The peptide nucleic acids and analogues thereof also are used to modulate protein activity through, for example, transcription arrest, transcription initiation, and site specific cleavage of nucleic acids.
