Article: Synthesis and Characterization of Trifluoroethoxy Polyphosphazenes Containing Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) Side Groups
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The importance of phosphorus in polymer chemistry is illustrated by the growth of the broad field of polyphosphazene science. Several hundred high polymers are now known with a phosphorus-nitrogen backbone and combinations or more than 250 different organic side groups. The properties of these polymers depend on both the character of the inorganic backbone and the structure of the organic side groups. This summary reviews the synthesis pathways to these materials, the often-unique structure-property relationships, and challenges for the future expansion of this field.

ABSTRACT: New polymers with a phosphazene backbone and both 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy- and phenoxy-functionalized cyclotriphosphazene substituents exist in three phases depending on the side group ratios. At low concentrations of the bulky substituents (up to ∼7 mol %), the polymers are semicrystalline thermoplastics, with properties that are minor variations of poly[bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene]. However, after the incorporation of between ∼7 mol % and ∼20 mol % of the bulky cyclic trimeric side groups, the polymers lose their semicrystalline properties and become amorphous elastomers. At still higher trimer loadings (>20 mol %) the materials develop gum-like behavior. The elastomeric phase appears to be generated by interdigitation or agglomeration of the bulky aryloxy-cyclotriphosphazene side groups, which act as quasi-physical cross-links between the polymer chains. The presence of these interactions allows the materials to experience high strain values before rupture (up to 1000%), and elastic recovery of more than 85% of the original dimensions when stressed up to 60% of the break elongation over four cycles. In addition, the chemical and physical nature of the substituents on the cyclic trimeric side groups alters the physical characteristics of the polymer in a way that provides a facile method to tune the properties.
Article: Polyphosphazene Elastomers Containing Interdigitated Oligo- p -phenyleneoxy Side Groups: Synthesis, Mechanical Properties, and X-ray Scattering Studies[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The range of polyphosphazene-based elastomers has been expanded through the use of phenoxy or oligo-p-phenyleneoxy minor cosubstituent side groups with majority 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy side groups. Specifically, polymers with both trifluoroethoxy and low ratios of phenoxy, p-phenylphenoxy, p-diphenylphenoxy, or p-triphenylphenoxy cosubstituents, can generate noncrystalline, noncovalently cross-linked elastomers. These are formed through the steric interactions of the oligo-p-phenyleneoxy side groups. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis of polymers containing p-diphenylphenoxy or p-triphenylphenoxy cosubstituents suggests that these macromolecules contain microdomains caused by the phase separation of the trifluoroethoxy and aryloxy groups, through stacking or agglomeration of the aryloxy units, and that those serve as noncovalent cross-linking points. Moreover, annealing of the polymers at elevated temperatures (150°C) causes a decrease in the average spacing between the aryloxy aggregates and has a direct effect on the mechanical properties, similar to the toughening caused by increases in the cross-link density in conventional elastomers.
Article: Phosphazene High Polymers and Models with Cyclic Aliphatic Side Groups: New Structure-Property Relationships[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Poly(dichlorophosphazene) is a versatile precursor material for accessing new polymeric materials via the introduction of various side groups by chlorine replacement reactions. Herein, methods are described for the synthesis of a new series of phosphazene single- and mixed-substituent high polymers containing cyclic aliphatic rings, -CnH2n-1 (where n = 4-8). These reactions were preceded by model reactions using small molecule cyclic trimeric phosphazenes. The new high polymers are amorphous, transparent, and film- and membrane-forming materials with a wide range of glass transition temperatures (-60 to +40 °C) depending on the side groups and cosubstituents. All are hydrophobic and resistant to hydrolytic breakdown. (Figure Presented).

ABSTRACT: Red, green, and blue dye molecules were linked covalently to polyphosphazenes to generate soluble, film-forming materials appropriate for the formation of patterned tricolor filters for possible use in liquid crystalline and other display devices or in camera sensors. The mono-functional dyes, a red [1-[(E)-(4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol], a green tetraphenylporphyrin [5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphyrin], and a blue toluidine blue dye, were employed as representative chromophores. The cosubstituents employed include 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy with and without aryloxy groups, or cyclopentanoxy groups. The optical densities were varied by adopting several dye to cosubstituent side group ratios. These dyes are models for a wide range of different chromophores that can be linked to polyphosphazene chains.
Article: New Mixed-Substituent Fluorophosphazene High Polymers and Small Molecule Cyclophosphazene Models: Synthesis, Characterization, and Structure Property Correlations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This work is an investigation of the influence of bulky fluoroalkoxy side groups on the properties of polyphosphazenes. A new series of mixed-substituent high polymeric poly(fluoroalkoxyphosphazenes) containing trifluoroethoxy and branched fluoroalkoxy side groups was synthesized and characterized by NMR and GPC methods. These polymers contained 19-29 mol % of dibranched hexafluoropropoxy groups or 4 mol % of tribranched tert-perfluorobutoxy groups which serve as regio-irregularities to reduce the macromolecular microcrystallinity. The structure-property correlations of the polymers were then analyzed and interpreted by several techniques: specifically by the thermal behavior by DSC and TGA methods, the crystallinity by wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and the surface hydrophobicity/oleophobicity by contact angle measurements. Ultraviolet cross-linkable elastomers were prepared from the new polymers through the incorporation of 3 mol % of 2-allylphenoxy and photoirradiation. The mechanical properties and the elastomeric deformation-recovery behavior were then monitored by varying the time of ultraviolet irradiation. Side reactions detected during the synthesis of the high polymers, such as side group exchange reactions and α-carbon attack, were analyzed via use of a cyclic trimer model system. The new polyphosphazenes with branched fluorinated side groups expand the scope of phosphazene-related materials and provide an understanding of the effect of different side group geometries on the overall properties of the fluoroelastomers.

ABSTRACT: Anion conducting polyphosphazene ionomer analogues of poly[bis(methoxyethoxyethoxy)phosphazene] (MEEP) were synthesized and their iodide transport properties studied. Polymer bound cations were quaternized with either short alkyl or short ether oxygen chains. X-ray scattering reveals a low q peak near 4 nm–1 arising from the backbone–backbone spacing between polyphosphazene chains, an ion-related peak at 8 nm–1, and a peak at 15 nm–1 corresponding primarily to the amorphous halo of the PEO side chains. Because of the short spacing of the intermediate q peak, the ions are proposed to exist mostly in isolated ion pairs or small aggregates. First-principles calculations combined with dielectric spectroscopy suggest that less than 10% of the ions are in isolated pairs while the remainder participate in quadrupoles or other small aggregates. These ionomers display high values for the high frequency dielectric constant, ε∞ (highest value ε∞ = 11), due to atomic polarization of the iodide anion. These MEEP-based ionomers have room temperature dc conductivity of order 10–6 S cm–1 and show potential for application in iodide conducting solar cells if the segmental mobility could be increased.
Article: Terpyridine and 2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine substituted cyclotri- and polyphosphazene ruthenium(II) complexes: Chemical and physical behaviour[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The synthesis of a series of cyclotriphosphazene and polyphosphazene ruthenium(II) compounds is reported using 2,2 ':6 ',2 ''-terpyridine (terpy) and 2,6-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (bpp) pendant ligands. X-ray crystallography, UV-Vis and resonance Raman spectroscopy have been employed to gain an insight into the physical and coordination behaviour of these complexes and indicate that both the small molecule and their polymeric analogues contain coordinated Ru in an octahedral 'N-6' environment. The results reveal a difference between the chemistry of the ruthenium(II)-bpp-terpy and ruthenium(II)-bis-terpy complexes and demonstrate a means of grafting functional groups to a polyphosphazene backbone under mild conditions.

ABSTRACT: A number of polyphosphazenes with negatively charged β-alanine (β-Ala) and γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) side groups were synthesized and studied for their ability to initiate the growth of hydroxyapatite (HAp) during exposure to simulated body fluid (SBF). All the polymers were hydrolytically sensitive, with the final hydrolysis rate dependent on the specific active side groups (GABA > β-Ala). These systems also underwent extensive mineralization, with calcium phosphate deposited across their entire surface during exposure to SBF (up to 115 wt % gain after 4 weeks). This degree of deposition is a major advance over previously reported polyphosphazene systems, which underwent a maximum of 27 wt % gain after immersion in SBF for 4 weeks. The extent of mineralization over the surface was monitored using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the identity of the mineralized material. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 41741.

ABSTRACT: In order for a material to be considered a potential candidate as a scaffolding substrate, it should be biodegradable to non-toxic products, and possess similar physical characteristics to those of the living tissue being replaced. Previous work centered on the direct linkage of citronellol, an anti-inflammatory molecule, to a polyphosphazene backbone. Moreover, the hydrolysis rate in that study was tuned by incorporating alanine ethyl ester co-substituent units thereby decreasing the amount of citronellol in the final polymer. By contrast, in this work citronellol was used as an ester unit linked to the carboxylic acid moiety of the amino acids glycine, alanine, valine, and phenylalanine that were in turn linked to the polymer backbone through the amino functionality. This method allowed the hydrolysis rate to be controlled via the steric hindrance generated by the amino acid ester while still providing two crosslinkable sites per repeat unit from the citronellol units. A hydrolysis study of the uncrosslinked polymers at physiological temperature showed between a 19.8 – 28.8% mass loss and between a 80.4 – 98.9% molecular weight decline after 12 weeks. The double bond in the citronellol structure also allowed polymer crosslinking by UV radiation to further control the polymer properties.

ABSTRACT: Hydrolytically sensitive polymers that degrade into benign products are of interest as biomedical materials. The aim of this study was to determine the properties and hydrolytic characteristics of both poly(diethoxyphosphazene) and related derivatives with both ethoxy and hydrophobic co-substituent groups in a near-1:1 M ratio such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy, phenoxy, or p-methylphenoxy units. These hydrophobic cosubstituents served as models for bioactive counterparts. The hydrolytic sensitivity of the ethoxyphosphazene units was so pronounced that even hydrophobic or bulky O-linked co-substituents failed to counteract the hydrolysis behavior during a twelve-week hydrolysis study. This work illustrates a pathway for the development of a new class of useful bioerodible polymers.
Article: An Unusual Polymer Architecture for the Generation of Elastomeric Properties in Fluorinated Polyphosphazenes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the synthesis and characterization of a new linear polyphosphazene architecture in which rigid, bulky side units provide the possibility of interdigitation with their counterparts on neighboring chains to generate noncovalent cross-links and distinct elastomeric properties. The bulky side groups are cyclotriphosphazene rings substituted with trifluoroethoxy groups connected to the main chain via aryloxy spacers. These bulky units are distributed along the polymer backbone and separated from each other by trifluoroethoxy units linked directly to the main chain. Compared to the well-known poly[(bis-2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene], [NP(OCH2CF3)(2)](n), which is a microcrystalline film- and fiber-forming polymer, several of the new materials are elastomers with properties that arise partly from interactions of the protruding cydotriphosphazene side units with those on nearby polymer chains. Specific elastomers are capable of regaining up to 89% of their original shape when elongated to high strain (up to 1000%) over four elongation cycles and show even longer elongations at break (>1600%). The overall physical properties depend on the ratios of the cyclic trimeric side units to main chain linked trifluoroethoxy side groups. The polymers were characterized using H-1, P-31 NMR, DSC, TGA, X-ray diffraction, GPC, and stress strain techniques.
Article: Nano-Disco Balls: Control Over Surface Versus Core Loading of Diagnostically Active Nanocrystals Into Polymer Nanoparticles[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nanoparticles of complex architectures can have unique properties. Self-assembly of spherical nanocrystals is a high yielding route to such systems. In this study, we report the self-assembly of a polymer and nanocrystals into aggregates, where the location of the nanocrystals can be controlled to be either at the surface or in the core. These nanospheres, when surface decorated with nanocrystals, resemble disco balls thus the term nano-disco balls. We studied the mechanism of this surface loading phenomenon and found it to be Ca2+ dependent. We also investigated whether excess phospholipids could prevent nanocrystal adherence. We found surface loading to occur with a variety of nanocrystal types including iron oxide nanoparticles, quantum dots, and nanophosphors, as well as sizes (10-30 nm) and shapes. Additionally, surface loading occurred over a range of polymer molecular weights (~30-3,000 kDa) and phospholipid carbon tail length. We also show that nanocrystals remain diagnostically active after loading onto the polymer nanospheres i.e providing contrast in the case of magnetic resonance imaging for iron oxide nanoparticles and fluorescence for quantum dots. Last, we demonstrated that a fluorescently labeled protein model drug can be delivered by surface loaded nanospheres. We present a platform for contrast media delivery, with the unusual feature that the payload can be controllably localized to the core or the surface.

ABSTRACT: An increased focus exists on the development of materials that might serve as ligament or tendon tissue engineering scaffolds. Requirements for a suitable candidate polymer include biodegradability, biocompatibility, and elasticity. In an attempt to meet these requirements novel citronellol-containing polyphosphazenes were synthesized, characterized, and crosslinked to generate elastomers. Citronellol was chosen as a side group due to its anti-inflammatory properties in addition to the presence of a double bond in its structure to permit polymer crosslinking. Alanine ethyl ester was chosen as a co-substituent to tune hydrolysis rates without severely affecting the glass transition temperatures of the final polymers. Hydrolysis of the uncrosslinked polymers in the form of films in deionized water at 37 °C showed between ∼8 and 16% mass loss and between a ∼28 and 88% molecular weight decline over 12 weeks. Polymers were also crosslinked using ultraviolet radiation for increasing amounts of time. Preliminary mechanical testing of the homo-citronellol polymer indicated increasing modulus and decreasing tensile strength with increased crosslink density. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

ABSTRACT: Mixed-substituent fluoroalkoxyphosphazene polymers bearing ∼15% 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctan-1-oxy or 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecan-1-oxy side groups together with trifluoroethoxy cosubstituent groups were synthesized. The low reactivity of the long-chain fluoroalkoxides and their limited solubility in organic solvents prevented higher levels of substitution. Moreover, the sodium alkoxides with two methylene residues adjacent to the oxygen proved to be unstable in solution due to elimination of NaF and precipitation of side products, and this limited the time available for chlorine replacement reactions. The resulting cosubstituent polymers were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), 31P-NMR, 19F-NMR, gel-permeation chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry. Unlike homo- or mixed-substituent fluoroalkoxyphosphazene polymers, such as [NP(OCH2CF3)2]n (a microcrystalline thermoplastic, Tg ∼ −63°C, Tm ∼ 242°C) or [NP(OCH2CF3)(OCH2(CF2)xCF2H)]n (PN-F, a rubbery elastomer, Tg ∼ −60°C, but no detectable Tm), the new polymers are gums (Tg ∼ −50°C, but no detectable Tm) with molecular weights in the 105 g/mol rather than the 106 g/mol range.

Article: Characterization of hydroxyapatite deposition on biomimetic polyphosphazenes by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Synthetic bone grafts that promote the natural mineralization process are excellent candidates for the repair and replacement of bone defects. In this study, a series of phosphoester and phosphonic acid containing polyphosphazenes were examined for their ability to mineralize hydroxyapatite (HAp) during exposure to a solution of simulated body fluid (SBF) for a period of four weeks. Although all the polymers showed an initial mineralization response, the amount of deposition and the time scale were dependent upon the side group chemistry of the polymers. After exposure to SBF for one week, all polymers mineralized HAp. After three weeks in SBF, polymers containing phosphoester substituents showed no significant change, with a weight gain of <1%, while polymers containing phosphonic acid substituents underwent a significant increase in the amount of mineralized HAp, with weight gains between 5-10%. The morphology of mineralized features was observed with Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM). However, due to the structural complexity of the mineralized polymers, the identity of the mineralized phase could not be definitively identified using traditional characterization techniques such as energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), or X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), a technique not previously explored for this type of application, successfully reveals details of the chemistry associated with the mineralized phase not possible to achieve with XRD analysis.
Article: Synthesis and Assembly of Novel Poly(organophosphazene) Structures Based on Noncovalent ``Host─Guest'' Inclusion Complexation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The design and assembly of new organophosphazene polymeric materials based on supramolecular "host–guest" interactions was accomplished by linkage of supramolecular coupling units to either the main-chain terminus or the side-chains of the parent phosphazene polymer. Noncovalent interactions at the main chain terminus were used to produce amphiphilic palm-tree like pseudoblock copolymers via host–guest interactions between an adamantane end-functionalized polyphosphazene and a 4-armed β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) initiated poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacylate] branched-star type polymer. Moreover, noncovalent interactions involving polymer side-chains were achieved between polyphosphazenes with β-CD pendant units and other polyphosphazene molecules with adamantyl moieties on the side-chains. These new organo–phosphazene structures based on noncovalent "host–guest" interactions generate new opportunities for the macromolecular modification of polyphosphazenes. The resultant materials demonstrated useful properties including self-aggregation, supramolecular gelation, and stimulus-responsive behavior.

ABSTRACT: Polyphosphazenes are macromolecules with a chain of alternating phosphorus and nitrogen atoms and with two (usually) organic side groups linked to each phosphorus. Although the earliest poly(organophosphazenes) were essentially linear polymers each bearing only one type of side group along the chain, research in our program in recent years has widened the scope to include mixed-substituent polymers with two or more different side groups, block copolymers, comb structures, stars, and dendrimers, all with a wide variety of different properties. In addition, supramolecular systems have also been synthesized including vesicles, microspheres, and a variety of composite systems. This review provides a summary of these developments together with an introduction to the widening array of developing uses. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Article: Comparison of the Synthesis and Bioerodible Properties of N-Linked Versus O-Linked Amino Acid Substituted Polyphosphazenes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Phosphazene polymers with N-linked and O-linked amino acid side groups are of biomedical interest, especially for their ability to bioerode under physiological conditions. Polyphosphazenes containing serine and threonine substituents, which contain two different functional sites for attachment to a polyphosphazene backbone (N- and O-terminus), were synthesized using an improved technique, and their hydrolysis behavior was investigated. In aqueous media the solid polymers yield hydrolysis products phosphate, ammonia, the amino acid, and ethanol and have the potential to be used in several different biomedical applications ultimately determined by their hydrolysis behavior. A hydrolysis study in deionized water revealed that all the polymers are hydrolytically sensitive, regardless of the type of linkage to the polyphosphazene backbone, although the hydrolysis rates may be different. Polymers with amino acid ester side groups linked through the N-terminus underwent solid phase hydrolysis between 16 and 60 % within a 6-week period. This is the fastest reported solid state hydrolysis of any amino acid ester substituted polyphosphazene. The mechanism of hydrolysis is by bulk erosion as monitored by environmental scanning electron microscopy. Polymers with the amino acid units linked through the O-terminus are soluble in water; thus their solid state erosion profile in aqueous media could not be determined. However, 31P NMR spectroscopy confirmed their hydrolytic sensitivity in aqueous solution and the formation of phosphorus-containing oligomeric species, the concentrations of which increased during the 6-week hydrolysis period. Complete hydrolysis did not occur within 6 weeks. The O-linked species are possible starting points for bioerodible hydrogel formation. Graphical Abstract

Madrid beats Barcelona 3-1 in Copa del Rey semis
Updated: February 26, 2013, 6:15 PM ETAssociated Press
BARCELONA, Spain -- Cristiano Ronaldo got the better of Lionel Messi on Tuesday, scoring twice to lead Real Madrid to a 3-1 win at Barcelona and a spot in the Copa del Rey final.
After the first leg of their semifinal ended 1-1, Madrid neutralized Barcelona's passing game and counterattacked to perfection at the Camp Nou to hand its archrival its first home loss in any competition since last April.
It was also a second straight cup setback for the Catalan club, which is running away ...

Comments about Diaper Dude Grey Messenger II Diaper Bag:
My husband wanted a diaper bag that was more masculine for our child. This has been a great product. The other diaper bag we got wore out within the first 8 months but this bag we can still use and our daughter just turned 3. For First time parents, it has a list of things you need to take with you on the inside flap, which can be a helpful reminder. There are plenty of pockets to store things. I expect this bag to last even through our second child.

Amnesty International: Freedom of speech

hmmm, http://www.oneclub.org/awards/viewer/?id=07001CA&yr=2007&sh=osc who did it first then?
These two campaigns are great object lessons on crafting and polishing an idea.
I think neither of them got the idea quite right, but ironically it's when you mix and match them both that you get the best results. In this one, the illustrations just aren't clear enough. You've got a prisoner in handcuffs, which is a problem. You've got child soldiers abandoning their guns to play football, which is a solution. You've got someone shouting, which is a... what?
The NRDC campaign gets this right, in that their illustrations are ACTIONS - hence the message that signing their petitions is as powerful as taking such actions. But their illustrations are merely in the signature LINE, not the signature itself. Which communicates the idea much more clearly. Which the Amnesty campaign got right.
The student deadline was something like Feb. 9. This went to print in March. It's a dead heat.
doesn't matter who did it first. it's not that great of an idea in the first place.
Again, again, again, again and yet again, looking at JUST the ad, I have absolutely no clue as to what it's trying to communicate.
Just to remember...

It's rare that I personally see films that boarder on experimental and narrative that actually work for me. "Sugar" is a definite exception to this rule. This film was interesting without being obvious and used devices, such as a mixture of B&W and color, to their full potential for once. I wouldn't dream of trying to go into what this film is about as it will likely be translated differently by everyone that sees it; that's part of it's charm. Hopefully this film will receive some sort of release, but don't expect to see it at the mega-plex near you any time soon. Samara Golden does an exceptional job in the lead role and stays compelling throughout even without dialog while appearing in almost every frame of the film. The craftsmanship is unbeatable and I consider this film a must see for anyone that that is really interested in the medium of film.

He is known for publishing the "Tableau économique" (Economic Table) in 1758 , which provided the foundations of the ideas of the Physiocrats. This was perhaps the first work to attempt to describe the workings of the economy in an analytical way, and as such can be viewed as one of the first important contributions to economic thought.

Working for a Nuclear Free City (sometimes abbreviated to WFANFC) was an indie nu gaze band from Manchester, England.
Original members Phil Kay (production and keyboard) and Gary McClure (guitar) formed as a studio entity in 1999; WFANFC began performing live in 2004, after adding drummer Jon Kay and bassist Ed Hulme to the group. Guitarist Neil Harris joined the band shortly before their American tour in 2008.
The band's self-titled debut album was released in the UK in 2006. Tracks from the album also formed part of their debut American release, Businessmen & Ghosts, which came out in November 2007.[1] The band cites a wide array of influences, including artists as disparate as Bill Evans, Devo, The Grateful Dead, and Yes.[2] WFANFC's sound has been described as "a flawless lucid-dream trip through a thousand fantastical influences"[3] and "as fresh as morning rain on Piccadilly Gardens".[4] Regarding their importance, major media outlets such as the BBC have stated: "it's the way that [WFANFC and The Longcut, another British music group] have distilled Manchester's history into an exciting future brew that makes them important."
WFANFC's releases have won them praise from a variety of media outlets, including Spin (magazine), the BBC, Stylus Magazine, and Citylife Magazine; their song "Rocket" was featured on National Public Radio in June 2007.
The band performed on the Topman Unsigned Stage at the Carling Weekend's Leeds Festival in 2007.
In 2009 the band was approached by the development team for the video game Infamous to create the song that plays at the end of the game. The song is called "Silent Melody".
The band released their third album, Jojo Burger Tempest, in October 2010, and in January 2011 the band opened a YouTube channel, uploading snippets of a fourth album, Apoptosis. No record label was named.
In 2011 the band released the single Turning Shadow via their Bandcamp.[5]
In 2013 guitarist Gary McClure released his solo record, Wreaths, on AED Records.[6] In celebration of this release, the band's Facebook page shared an unreleased 52-minute long album titled Odds and Sods posted to member Phil Kay's SoundCloud.[7] The Facebook post and SoundCloud upload have since been removed.
In 2014 producer and keyboardist Phil Kay released his solo record, Zoetrope as King of the Mountains on Melodic Records.[8]
Gary McClure currently records under the name American Wrestlers, and released his debut album, American Wrestlers, in 2014. During promotion for the album, he noted the band had broken up. A new album, however, entitled What Do People Do All Day? was announced in December 2015.

In Other Media[edit]
In 2008 the band composed a commissioned piece, "History", for the Go On Lad Hovis advertisement.[9] In 2009, Spoke Film's director Gary Holder[10] used the song "England" in a launch film for the Jaguar X-Type: X409.[11] In 2009 the band produced another commissioned track for the PlayStation 3 game inFamous, and was recently used in the Power Trip trailer for the game.[12] The track, entitled "Silent Melody", was available for download on iTunes on May 21, 2009.[13]
The song "Dead Fingers Talking" was featured in Pilot of the AMC Original Series Breaking Bad.
The song "Asleep at the Wheel" was used for a relaunch trailer for the British Channel 5 re-branding in 2008 and at the close of an Apple promotional video for the 10/2009 update of the iMac.
The song "Rocket" was used in the soundtrack for the movie Push.

The question of whether dynamic Bruins linebacker Anthony Barr should or should not leave UCLA is a much more complicated one than many might think.
As one of the country's most dominant pass rushers -- he finished with the nation's lead in sacks at 15.5 -- Barr would almost certainly be a first round pick if he were to declare, barring some kind of setback in the months leading up to the draft. But that doesn't necessarily mean Barr should pack his bags for the NFL just yet.
With another year under his belt -- he's only been a linebacker for less than 12 months -- Barr could very well become a top-ten pick. That doesn't mean as much as it used to, given the NFL's new restrictions on rookie contracts, but a significant jump in next year's draft could be in store -- if Barr were to stay.
The NFL is crazy about athletic pass rushers right now, given how predominant the wide-open passing game has become at the next level. And Barr, in the right system, should fit in very well, given his breakneck speed and ability to get around blockers.
Another year could help him improve his game against the run -- a facet of his skill set that UCLA Coach Jim Mora has said is pretty good already. He also could stand to improve some of his mechanics in pass coverage, but as one of the faster defenders on UCLA's defense, that will likely just be a factor of getting more experience at his relatively new position.
Regardless, scouts are abuzz about Barr's talent. He's said that he's still leaning towards staying, but he's yet to get his draft grade back, which could make a difference, given that it's expected to be awfully optimistic.
Anthony Barr, LB
Projected draft range: Likely first round pick, possible top 15, if he declares
Strengths: Elite pass rusher, very fast for a linebacker, tall and athletic, elite motor
Weaknesses: There aren't many. Doesn't have much experience and will improve at reading defenses. Could improve in pass coverage and rush defense.
Beyond Barr, the Bruins actually have quite a few players who will likely be taken in the middle rounds of the NFL Draft. That group is led by defensive end Datone Jones.
Datone Jones, DL
Projected draft range: Round 2-4
Strengths: Solid in run defense; athletic, despite his bulkiness; gets good separation and had almost as many TFL as Barr (19) this season.
Weaknesses: Will need to work on his pass rushing skills, especially if he plans on being a DE at the next level; may need to be drafted into the right scheme to fulfill potential.
Johnathan Franklin, RB
Projected draft range: Rounds 3-4
Strengths: Great burst and shiftiness; more physical than people get him credit for; good receiver out of the backfield; impressive vision.
Weaknesses: Despite not turning the ball over much this year, he'll have to answer for past fumbling issues; could stand to add some strength to survive between tackles in NFL.
Joseph Fauria, TE
Projected draft range: Rounds 3-5
Strengths: A huge target with impressive ball skills; ideal size and athleticism to create massive mismatches; has ability to split out in slot; serious threat in the red zone.
Weaknesses: Still needs to work on blocking, even though it has improved; isn't as fast as dynamic pass-catching tight ends in NFL.
Aaron Hester, CB
Projected draft range: Rounds 4-7
Strengths: Has ideal size, athleticism for position;
Weaknesses: Had just one interception in 2012; passable ball skills; didn't have a very good senior season;
Sheldon Price, CB
Projected draft range: Rounds 5-7
Strengths: Like Hester, has ideal size, athleticism; pretty good ball skills (4 picks in 2012)
Weaknesses: Prone to allowing big plays; also didn't have best senior season
Jeff Locke, P
Projected draft range: Rounds 6-7, possible free agent
Strengths: Highly skilled on kickoffs; impressive accuracy with pinning teams deep
Weaknesses: Not many, except for the fact that he's, you know, a punter; distance on punts went down slightly in 2012.
Jeff Baca, OG
Projected draft range: Rounds 5-7
Strengths: Very versatile, can play multiple positions; decent quickness for interior lineman
Weaknesses: Too many penalties down the stretch; could stand to get stronger

LAWRENCE, Kan. – It was a battle of newcomers when USC and No. 3 Kansas met Saturday.
Josh Selby, making his debut for the Jayhawks, came out on top of Jio Fontan, making his first appearance for the Trojans.
Selby, the most heralded Kansas freshman since Danny Manning, drilled a go-ahead 3-pointer with 26 seconds left and Fontan followed with a turnover as the Jayhawks defeated USC, 70-68.
"Now I think my team trusts me more and my coaches trust me more," said Selby, the 6-foot-2 point guard who spent the first nine games on the bench, serving an NCAA-ordered suspension.
Fontan, making his debut for the Trojans after transferring from Fordham, hit two free throws to put USC on top, 68-66, with 1:36 left.
After Fontan's free throws, Kansas' Marcus Morris put up an air ball, but his twin brother Markieff rebounded and threw the ball back to Marcus.
Then the 6-foot-9 Marcus threw the ball to Selby. With the game and the team-record 64-game home winning streak on the line, the junior, who has led the Jayhawks in scoring all season, chose to put the ball in the hands of a freshman playing his first college game.
And the freshman did not disappoint.
USC called time out with 20.7 seconds to go and then inbounded the ball. But Fontan stepped out of bounds in front of the USC bench, and Kansas inbounded with 6.4 seconds left in probably the most harrowing victory in the Jayhawks' winning streak.
Tyrel Reed made a free throw for the final margin.
"I'm sure he stepped out," USC coach Kevin O'Neill said of Fontan. "It's his first game of the year. He got a little too close to the sideline."
Selby wound up with a game-high 21 points.
Donte Smith had 20 points for USC. Alex Stepheson added 18 and Fontan 15.
"He won out there," Fontan said of Selby. "It's as simple as that. No matter how many points he had or how many I had. He hit a big 3. Josh Selby played really well today.
"I just hope we can walk away and understand that we're right up there with those guys."
