Kumar R., Bocharova V., Strelcov E., Tselev A., Collins L., Kravchenko I.I., Berdzinski S., Strehmel V., Ovchinnikova O.S., Minutolo J.A., Sangoro J.R., Agapov A.L., Kisliuk A., Soko A.P., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US
The current work represents an important step in a search for novel materials and experimental techniques that would allow for controllable and inexpensive methods of surface patterning with nanoscale resolution. The novelty of the nanopatterning [...]
Conducting Polymer Based Adhesives for Electrochemical Applications
There has been huge demand for developing advanced materials and devices for enhanced energy storage. However, relatively little attention has been devoted so far to the development of efficient binders for electrode materials. In this [...]
Conjugated Polymer Papers for Metal Ion Detection
It is of great importance to detect heavy metal ion in solution. Here, we describe the electrochemical detection of metal ions using polypyrrole/cellulose (PPCL) composite papers in both static and flow systems. A home-made electrochemical [...]
Kinetically Controlled Formation of Deposited Polymer Nanomaterials with Unique Surface Substructures
One-dimensional (1D) electronic materials with inherent nanoscale features are considered to be promising components for achieving unprecedented future technologies. Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials and, as a result, unique [...]
Polymer Nanostructure Approach for Photoelectric Solar Energy Conversions
At materials molecular level, photoelectric/photovoltaic conversion corresponds to a photo induced electron transfer from a molecular electron rich donor entity to an electron deficient acceptor entity, and the process is also called photo induced exciton [...]
Durable Superhydrophobic Coatings for Icephobic Applications
Recent studies about the application of superhydrophobic surfaces for anti-ice properties have found that ice adhesion strength is reduced significantly compared to bare aluminum surfaces, but these surfaces lack durability. In this work, bottom up [...]
Relationship between Morphology and Electrochemical Properties of Polyaniline in the Nanometer Regime
Polyaniline (PANI) has found a wide range of applications due to its electrical properties, reversible redox behaviors and environmental stability. Here, we report the preparation of PANI nanostructures with three different aspect ratios, namely, nanospheres, [...]
