Polyaniline multidimensional architectures from plate-like structures to flower-like superstructures have been successfully tailored by the oxidation polymerization in dilute aniline solution at room temperature, when the molar ratio of oxidant to monomer was altered in the range of 0.1:1−0.8:1. It was found that at l…

The technological importance of polycrystalline strontium titanate $({\text{SrTiO}}_{3})$ is directly linked to its interfacial and grain boundary properties, which are at present poorly understood. A complete understanding (including links with experiment) requires information from many length scales, including elect…

Materials derived from copper oxide, Cu 2 O, are potential p-type transparent conducting oxides. Cu 2 O displays some unusual features, including p-type semiconductivity and the importance of cation−cation interactions in determining the band gap and transparency. We apply first-principles density functional theory to…

A novel biodegradable diblock copolymer, poly(L-cysteine)-b-poly(L-lactide) (PLC-b-PLLA), was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of N-carboxyanhydride of beta-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-cysteine (ZLC-NCA) with amino-terminated poly(L-lactide) (NH 2-PLLA) as a macroinitiator in a convenient way. The diblock copo…

Motivated by experimental results, we present numerical and analytical calculations of the capillary force exerted by a capillary bridge spanning the gap between two parallel flat plates of asymmetric wettability. Depending on whether the sum of the two contact angles is smaller or larger than 180 degrees, the capilla…

A new kind of electroactive polymers was synthesized by using aniline pentamer (AP) cross-linking chitosan (CS) in acetic acid/DMSO/DMF solution. UV-vis and CV confirmed the electroactivity of polymers in acidic aqueous solution. The amphiphilic polymers self-assembled into 200-300 nm micelles by dialysis against deio…

A liquid paraffin-water emulsion was investigated using layered double hydroxide (LDH) particles and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as emulsifiers. Both emulsifiers are well-known to stabilize oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions. Surprisingly, a double phase inversion of the emulsion containing LDH particles is induced by the…
