3D Printable Polymer Electrolytes for Ionic Conduction based on Protic Ionic Liquids.

A range of protic ionic liquids (PILs) based on tri-n-alkylammonium cations and mesylate/triflate anions were incorporated into a polymer matrix to form ionogels (IGs). These systems were investigated for their thermal and electrochemical behaviour, as well as under the aspect of ion motion via PFG-NMR. The ionic conductivities of the ILs/IGs are in the range of 10-10 S/cm at elevated temperatures and the diffusion coefficients are around 10 m s.

Ground-truth validation of uni- and multivariate lesion inference approaches.

Lesion analysis aims to reveal the causal contributions of brain regions to brain functions. Various strategies have been used for such lesion inferences. These approaches can be broadly categorized as univariate or multivariate methods.

An innovative chalcogenide transfer agent for improved aqueous quantum dot synthesis.

An innovative approach to chalcogenide precursor synthesis and their subsequent use for the production of CdX (X = S, Se, Te) quantum dots (QDs) in water under scalable and intensified continuous flow conditions is introduced. Herein, tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) is identified as a novel, efficient and water-soluble vehicle for chalcogenide transfer to form CdX QDs under aqueous conditions. A comprehensive exploration of critical process parameters, including pH, chalcogen excess, and residence time, utilizing a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach is reported.

Thiol-polyethylene glycol-folic acid (HS-PEG-FA) induced aggregation of Au@Ag nanoparticles: A SERS and extinction UV-Vis spectroscopy combined study.

Plasmonic colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) functionalised with polymers are widely employed in diverse applications, offering advantages demonstrated over non-functionalised NPs such as enhanced colloidal stability or increased biocompatibility. However, functionalisation with polymers does not always increase the stability of the colloidal system. This work explores the intricate relationship between the functionalisation of plasmonic core@shell Au@Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with thiol-polyethylene glycol-folic acid (HS-PEG-FA) polymer chains and the resulting stability and spectral characteristics of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) nanotags based on these NPs.
