Removal of thiocyanate ions from aqueous solutions using polypyrrole and polyaniline conducting electroactive polymers

Polypyrrole (PPy/Cl) and polyaniline (PAni/Cl) synthesized chemically onto sawdust (SD)was used for removal of thiocyanate (SCN-) ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of someimportant parameters such as pH, initial concentration, sorbent dosage, and contact time onuptake of SCN- was investigated. PPy/SD was found to be much more effective sorbent thanPAni/SD for uptake SCN- from aqueous solu...

Electroactive polymers for sensing

Electromechanical coupling in electroactive polymers (EAPs) has been widely applied for actuation and is also being increasingly investigated for sensing chemical and mechanical stimuli. EAPs are a unique class of materials, with low-moduli high-strain capabilities and the ability to conform to surfaces of different shapes. These features make them attractive for applications such as wearable s...

Preparation of ZnO Nanocrystals with Desired Morphology from Coordination Polymers through a Solid-state Decomposition Route

One-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer, [Zn(4,4´-bpy)(H2O)4](ADC).4H2O (1) (4,4´-bpy = 4,4´-bipyridine and H2ADC = acetylenedicarboxylic acid), and three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF), Zn(ADC)2.(HTEA)2(2) (HTEA = triethylamine) were prepared at room temperature. The compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analyses....
