This paper reports a novel supercapacitor electrode design based on poly(3,4-propylenedioxypyrrole) (PProDOP) electropolymerized onto thin films of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) on glass substrates. This permits the electropolymerization of thicker PProDOP films than can be deposited onto flat gold-coated Kap…

Abstract By using the nanocasting method, a series of mixed metal perovskite oxides with general formula LaBO 3 (B=Mn, Co, Fe) were synthesized with use of ordered mesoporous KIT‐6 silica as a hard template. Even though the resulting materials were not found to be the exact replica of the template, extremely high valu…

Electrospinning is a simple and efficient method of fabricating a non-woven polymeric nanofiber matrix. However, using fluorinated alcohols as a solvent for the electrospinning of proteins often results in protein denaturation. TEM and circular dichroism analysis indicated a massive loss of triple-helical collagen fro…
