Chemical deposition and characterization of thin polypyrrole films on glass plates: role of organosilane treatment

On the origin of colloidal particles in the dispersion polymerization of aniline

“…It has been reported that PANI and polypyrrole films grown on hydrophobic surfaces are thicker and smoother [10,11,[48][49][50][51][52]. This is a consequence of the relative hydrophobicity of the reaction intermediate that adsorbs at the available interfaces and starts the growth of PANI chains producing films.…”

A new water-free proton conducting membrane for high-temperature application

“…In the ORMOSILs-based hybrids mainly comprising of ORMOSILs and organic components [14][15][16][17][18][19][20], it has been reported that the nature of the ORMOSILs, in other words, the polarity difference between the ORMOSILs and the organic components affects the morphology and the specific chemical interaction between the constituents. For example, in the ORMOSILs-based optical sensors [16], film hydrophobicity increased as a function of hydrophobic silane content.…”

“…As a mechanical framework, silicates prepared by a sol-gel synthesis of silane monomers are chosen. It has been well known that structures and properties of silicates highly depend on characteristics of silane monomers [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Organically modified silicates (ORMOSILs) are believed to be promising candidates in the development of new materials for various applications due to their good mechanical and chemical stability and the ease with which they can be prepared and modified.…”

The polymeric nanofilm of triazinedithiolsilane fabricated by self-assembled technique on copper surface. Part 1: Design route and corrosion resistance

“…The software of XPS Peak 4.1 was adopted to de-convolve the S2p peaks using the Shirley-type background. We kept a combination of 80% Gaussian-20% Lorentzian line shape [18], and maintained the FWHM of the various components in a given spectrum as close as possible [19].…”
