Graft copolymer directed synthesis of micron-thick organized mesoporous TiO2 films for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.
Micron thick, well-organized mesoporous TiO(2) films with high porosity and good connectivity were synthesized by templating an amphiphilic graft copolymer for solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.
متن کاملBiomimetic monolayer and bilayer membranes made from amphiphilic block copolymer micelles.
The deposition of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(butadiene) (PEO-b-PBD) copolymer micelles is demonstrated on solid substrates. Depending upon surface chemistry, micelle adsorption creates either monolayer or bilayer films. Lateral diffusion measurements reveal that strong coupling between hydrophilic surfaces and PEO blocks creates immobile bilayers, while monolayers retain the fl...
متن کاملTheoretical models for determination of weight percent of PHCS-g-PLLA co polymer using experimental data
The amphiphilic graft copolymer using chitosan (CS) as hydrophilic segment and poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) as hydrophobic segment, was prepared through a protection-graft-de protection route. Chitosan is a polysaccharide comprising of copolymers of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine. Chitosan is the deacetylated derivative of chitin, which is one of the most abundant natural polysaccharides c...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Nano-micelles: Effect of Length Ratio of the Hydrophilic Block
Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...
متن کاملThermal Analysis of Acrylonitrile/Acrylic Acid Copolymer Dendrigrafted with Citric Acid
Thermal analysis of acrylonitrile/acrylic acid P(AN/AA) copolymer films containing 5%, 10% and 20% acrylic acid dendrigrafted with citric acid (CA) is examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) with various heating rates, thermogravimetry (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetric analysis (DTG). Also, the effect of carboxylic acid on thermal stabilization of the P(AN/AA) copolymers, wh...
