(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The preparation of new conducting polyaniline (PANI) derivatives with different nanostructures is described. PANI derivatives doped with aromatic carboxyl chain end functionalized polystyrene derivatives of different number ...
Preparation and Preliminary Dielectric Characterization of Structured C60-Thiol-Ene Polymer Nanocomposites Assembled Using the Thiol-Ene Click Reaction
(
MDPI
, 2015 , Article)
Fullerene-containing materials have the ability to store and release electrical energy. Therefore, fullerenes may ultimately find use in high-voltage equipment devices or as super capacitors for high electric energy storage ...
