An all-organic composite system using newly developed PPy nanoclips is developed. The composites have a uniform microstructure due to the unique preparation process. The composites have a very low percolation threshold (<8 wt.%) and exhibit a high dielectric constant. At room temperature, the composites exhibit a dielectric constant of more than 1,000. At temperatures higher than 98 o C, the composites exhibit a dielectric constant of about 2,000. More interestingly, the high dielectric constant reported here is associated with a loss much smaller than the loss reported for other CDCs using 1-D fillers. It is indicated that a new dielectric relaxation process is induced due to the mixture of PPy with P(VDF-TrFE), whose relaxation time decreases with increasing PPy content. The loss observed in the composites at low temperature including room temperature is mainly determined by this relaxation process rather than the conductivity. If this relaxation process has a strong contribution to the dielectric constant, the widely used percolation formula describing relationship between the dielectric constant and the composite cannot be used.
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for enzyme encapsulation induced biomimetic mineralization are commonly microporous and hydrophobic, which result in a rather high mass transfer resistance of the reactants and restrain the enzyme catalytic activity.
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.
