Effect of electrochemical control function and dopant anion on polyaniline fi...
We propose to determine the structures (polymer and solvent populations and spatial distributions) of polyaniline films deposited by different protocols. These involve different... -
Using SERGIS, SESANS and NR to probe nanoscale cavities created within templa...
Nanoporous membranes fabricated by polymerization around soluble templates have found many applications in (bio)sensors, charge storage devices, filtration and catalysis.... -
Effect of electrochemical control function on metal alloy deposition
We propose to determine the nucleation/growth processes and the structures (metal distributions and solvent population/distribution) of metallic films deposited insitu by... -
Developing a generic gravimetric method to determine the composition of films...
We propose to develop a new and generic, multi-probe technique to characterize the mass, and changes in mass, of material probed in a NR experiment. This methodology will be... -
Comparative study of the effect of growth protocols and electrochemical contr...
Although the physical structure and electrochemical properties of thin conducting polymer films are known to be influenced by the method used to deposit them, our understanding... -
Probing the spatial distribution of fluorophores entering nanoscale pores in ...
We wish to make specular NR measurements on fluorophore functionalization of amine-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy-NH2) films. The critical issue is film penetration of solution... -
Spatial distribution of ion sources and sinks for redox switching of PEDOT
We propose specular NR measurements on PEDOT films exposed to a novel room temperature ionic liquid, the deep eutectic solvent Propaline. The fundamental interest is that PEDOT... -
Probing Solvation and Segregation in Multilayer Conducting Polymer Films
Tuning the colour of electrochromic conducting polymers can be achieved by layer upon layer deposition of multiphase components. This approach can offer advantages over other... -
Solvent and ion transfer in novel ionic liquid-substituted PEDOT conducting p...
We propose specular NR measurements on imidazolium substituted PEDOT-Im films exposed to a novel room temperature ionic liquid, the deep eutectic solvent (DES) Ethaline. The key... -

We propose specular NR measurements on imidazolium substituted PEDOT-Im films exposed to a novel room temperature ionic liquid, the deep eutectic solvent (DES) Ethaline. The key... -
Influence of electrochemical control function on the structure of PEDOT films
We propose specular NR measurements during deposition of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) using potentiostatic (PS), potentiodynamic (PD) and...
