  4. 2. On the Surface of Conducting Polymers : Electrochemical Switching of Color and Wettability in Conjugated Polymer Devices

    Author : Joakim Isaksson; Magnus Berggren; Kajsa Uvdal; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conjugated polymer; electrochemistry; surface energy; electrochromism; contact angle; Electrochemistry; Elektrokemi;

    Abstract : Since the discovery in 1977 that conjugated polymers can be doped to achieve almost metallic electronic conduction, the research field of conducting polymers has escalated, with applications such as light emitting diodes, solar cells, thin film transistors, electrochemical transistors, logic circuits and sensors. The materials can be chemically modified during their synthesis in order to tailor the desired mechanical, electronic and optical properties of the final product. READ MORE

  5. 3. Understanding the mechanisms behind atom transfer radical polymerization : exploring the limit of control

    Author : Helena Bergenudd; Mats Jonsson; Eva Malmström Jonsson; David M Haddleton; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymerization; controlled radical polymerization; atom transfer radical polymerization; kinetics; catalysis; electrochemistry; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is one of the most commonly employed techniques for controlled radical polymerization. ATRP has great potential for the development of new materials due to the ability to control molecular weight and polymer architecture. READ MORE

  6. 4. Polyelectrolyte Brush Electrodes for Protein Capture and Release

    Author : Gustav Ferrand-Drake Del Castillo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pH-responsive interfaces; Polyelectrolyte brushes; protein immobilization; electrochemistry.;

    Abstract : Stimuli-responsive polyelectrolyte brushes switch as a function of pH between a charged and neutral state that affects their electrostatic interactions with other charged molecules like proteins. Adjustment of the pH results in the binding of large quantities of proteins making polyelectrolyte brushes widely used as biointerfaces. READ MORE

  7. 5. Evaluating Cathode Catalysts in the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell

    Author : Henrik Ekström; Göran Lindbergh; Anders Lundblad; Anthony Kucernak; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fuel cell; humidity; model electrodes; Nafion; oxygen reduction; PEMFC; platinum; polymer electrolyte; thin film evaporation; titanium oxide; bränslecell; fuktighet; modellelektroder; Nafion; PEMFC; platina; polymerelektrolyt; syrereduktion; tunnfilmsförångning; titanoxid; Electrochemistry; Elektrokemi;

    Abstract : The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen (air) into usable electrical energy. At the cathode (the positive electrode), a considerable amount of platinum is generally required to catalyse the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). READ MORE
