The Chemistry of Conducting Polythiophenes

In the late 1970s, conjugated polymers were proclaimed as futuristic new materials that would lead to the next generation of electronic and optical devices. It now appears with the discoveries of, for example, polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic transistors that new technologies are imminent. Polythiophenes are an important representative class of conjugated polymers that form some...

Conducting polymer-based hybrid assemblies for electrochemical sensing: a materials science perspective.

In this topical review, progress achieved in amperometric sensing of different analytes over conducting polymer-based hybrid electrocatalysts is summarized. We report a variety of synthetic methods and the resulting hybrid assemblies, with the effectiveness of such strategies, for designing conjugated polymer-based hybrids as robust sensors for amperometric detection. Beyond incorporation of me...

Animal Rights Consideration is a Necessity in Conducting an Experiment

Opinion: Conducting science in the public eye

Doing science is usually hidden behinds the wall of the lab and universities, and thus immune from immediate public scrutiny. The current COVID-19 pandemic has dragged the scientific process and its fruits in the public eye. In this short piece, I attempt to discuss the effect of conducting science in the public eye on the public’s perception of science and scientists.
