Depending on the organo-cation mononuclear or polynuclear copper(II) 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylates (L) are formed. Mononuclear complexes with [ML2(H2O)] anions are formed when the cations are derived from ethylenediamine (en), N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen), 1,5-diaminopentane (dap) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.…

In this work, we devised a simple optical technique that allowed the nucleation and growth of Ga:ZnO films grown via aqueous synthesis at 90 °C to be studied in situ. Our two fold objective was to study the nucleation processes and to acquire real-time information of the film thickness. In doing so, the growth paramet…

Ultra thin (10–20 nm) and pin-hole free overoxidized polypyrrole films were directly electrosynthezised under potentiostatic conditions in the presence of weak-acid anions, specifically monohydrogenophosphate. Various overoxidized polypyrrole membranes were fabricated in these conditions at different potentials in the…

Single-piece solid-contact polymeric membrane Ag + ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) have been fabricated based on conducting polymer poly(3-octylthiophene) (POT) dissolved into the Ag + ion-selective membrane. The effects of the amounts of POT on the potential responses of the single-piece solid-contact Ag + -ISEs were…

We have used Reversible Addition Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) to polymerize the T-type surfactant monomer α,ω-methacryloylundecyltrimethylammonium bromide (MUTAB) to various degrees of polymerization, and thereby investigate how its self-assembly is affected. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) shows that the…

Soft colloidal crystals are inherently highly susceptible to shear. We find by using scanning rheo-SANS and scanning synchrotron-rheo-SAXS experiments that high shear strains cause macroscopic “Siamese” twinning in lyotropic FCC-crystals formed by block copolymer micelles or polymer-coated nanoparticles. The twins ext…
