Membranes based on doped polyphenylacetylene act as catalysts for the photodegradation of organic pollutants such as chlorophenols and butylcellosolve.With a reaction time of about one day, an efficiency of about 70% can be obtained; in some cases, by optimizing the experimental conditions further better results are recorded. Some observations about the reaction behaviour yield useful info£ mations about mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
