Journal ArticleDOI
XPS studies of some chemically synthesized polypyrrole-organic acceptor complexes.
TL;DR: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies have been performed on polypyrrole-2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (PPY-DDQ) and poly pyrrole -tetrachlorono-o-bennone ( PPY-chloranil) complexes prepared via the simultaneous chemical polymerization and oxidation of pyrrone by the respective acceptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies of conductive polypyrrole complexes chemically synthesized with FeCl 3
TL;DR: XPS spectra of the complexes suggest that the chlorine dopant can exist in three chemical states, but reaction stoichiometries based on the total chlorine balance of the complex can be quite misleading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailoring Polyelectrolyte Architecture To Promote Cell Growth and Inhibit Bacterial Adhesion.

TL;DR: A surface coating with a relatively high degree of stiffness from covalent cross-linking coupled with negative surface charge and high wettability can serve as an efficient strategy to enhance host cell growth while resisting bacterial colonization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modifications of poly(3-alkylthiophene) films by graft copolymerization
TL;DR: In this article, the graft density is substantially enhanced if the PTH film has been pretreated with O 3, and the surface water contact angle data showed that the grafted AAm and AAc polymers become submerged completely below the film surface to give rise to a hydrophobic surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thiol Reactive Maleimido-Containing Tannic Acid for the Bioinspired Surface Anchoring and Post-Functionalization of Antifouling Coatings
TL;DR: The feasibility of maleimido groups to serve as anchoring sites for surface functionalization via Michael addition was explored in a model experiment and the antifouling efficacy of the CMCSSH coatings was evaluated by protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion.
