One route has been employed to prepare dendritic-linear block copolymer modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), which consist of a Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticle core and a dendritic-linear block c...
Alumina-coated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized on a copper substrate and have been used as an anode in Li-ion batteries. CNTs were grown directly on the copper current collector by chemical vapor deposition and ...
Suspensions containing quaternized poly(pyridylacetylene) (PPyA) and AgX (X = Br and I) were obtained by simply mixing PPyA with water soluble silver salts. The suspensions were stable in the dark at room temperature, an...
Here we report on inkjet printing of a conductive amorphous copper oxide (CuO) ink and of semiconducting cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots under ambient conditions and at low temperature to form functional thin films, w...
A series of anthracene derivatives with a triphenylsilane end-capping group, (9,9-dimethyl-2-(10-phenylanthracen- 9-yl)-9H-fluoren-7-yl)triphenylsilane (PAFTPS), 9,10-bis(9,9-dimethyl-2-(triphenylsilyl)-9H-fluoren-7-yl) ...
The preparation of low energy gap carbazole based main-chain polymers having improved open circuit voltages (V(oc)) and solubility is described. Poly[9-(heptadecan-9-yl)-9H-carbazole-2,7-diyl-alt-(5,6-bis-(octyloxy)-4 ,7...
The host-guest properties of cucurbit[8]uril have been employed to modify a conventional electrode surface in order to increase its analytical performance. The new electrode surface has been characterized, and the influe...
We present a comprehensive analysis for pore structures of cage-type ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) using various electron microscopy techniques in addition to conventional nitrogen adsorption isotherm studies. The be...
In a comprehensive investigation of carbon nanotube (CNT) filled liquid and solid polybutadienes of molecular weights 2600 and 100 000, respectively, we report results of thermal conductivity (k), glass transition temper...
