Transparent nanocomposite films of (graphene nanoparticles)-poly(N,N'-dimethylacrylamide) (GNPs-PDMAA) with a high refractive index are prepared via a facile in situ polymerization method. The structure and properties of...
Boehmite nonwovens with hierarchical texture could be fabricated by a simple procedure consisting of mixing a boehmite nanofibre sol with an organic solvent and filtering the mixture. However, whether the nonwovens were ...
An electromagnetic radiation absorber material with high shielding effectiveness as well as good mechanical and thermal properties was produced using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) wrapped in poly(ether sulfone) ...
Although donor (D)-acceptor (A) conjugated copolymers possess an electron deficient unit, most D-A copolymers exhibit only hole transport properties (p-type). While there are some D-A copolymers that show ambipolarity, n...
Singlewall and multiwall carbon nanotubes were covalently functionalised with ethylenediamine (EDA) in a simple one-pot process providing a good surface coverage. The successful grafting of EDA on carbon nanotubes (CNTs)...
A series of multiblock poly(ether carbonate urethane)s comprising poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(ethylene glycol), and poly(propylene glycol) segments, with a molecular weight of 60 000 g mol(-1), were synthesized. T...
The inherent hydroxyl groups on the porous polycaprolactone (PPCL) films (prepared by using poly(ethylene glycol) as the pore-forming agent) could be reacted with 2-bromoisobutyrate bromide to produce a sufficient concen...
We studied high-k soluble yttrium oxide dielectrics for high performance oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). The electrical characteristics of yttrium oxide show leakage current density as less than 10(-6) A cm(-2) at 2 ...
Polymer electrolytes comprised of silicotungstic acid (SiWA) in cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol have been developed and characterized for ultra-high rate electrochemical capacitors (ECs). The solid polymer electrolytes ou...
Nanostructured nominally pure Li2MnSiO4 (LMS) is successfully synthesized by a microwave assisted solvothermal method followed by successful coating with conductive carbon using carbonizing agents such as D-(+)-glucono-1...
We report a new strategy to obtain high performance polymer-grafted multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Chlorophenyl-functionalized MWCNTs, obtained through the in situ generation and reaction of diazonium compounds,...
Highly active and stable Pt/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) electrocatalysts for the application of proton exchange membrane fuel cells were developed by tuning the O/C atom ratio of RGO supports. The results showed that Pt...
Gold nanoparticles (similar to 5 nm) coated with plasma-polymerized allylamine were produced through plasma vapor deposition and bioconjugated with a monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor. Th...
Low-power upconversion via sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA-UC) is a useful and versatile process that allows for the conversion of optical radiation into photons of higher energy. While this effect had been ...
Solution-based self-assembly of quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures (nanowires) from quasi-zero-dimensional (quantum dots) colloidal nanocrystal building blocks has proven itself as a powerful and flexible...
Perylene diimide (PDI) and its derivatives hold great promise, since they are undeniably considered as an important family of organic n-type semiconductors with both high carrier mobilities and air stabilities comparable...
