TL;DR: The thermoelectric properties of various poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) samples are measured, and a marked increase in the Seebeck coefficient is observed when the electrical conductivity is enhanced through molecular organization, which initiates the transition from a Fermi glass to a semi-metal.

TL;DR: The reduced pressure synthesis of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) with sheet-like morphology has been achieved with the introduction of an amphiphilic triblock copolymer into the oxidant thin film as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A brief overview of the process of droplet freezing on superhydrophobic coatings is presented and new data is presented about the condensation of water onto physically decorated substrates, and the associated freezing process which impacts on the freezing of macroscopic droplets on the surface.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive overview and understanding of pure thin-film silicon anodes using physical vapor and chemical vapor deposition (PVD & CVD) and the factors affecting their electrochemical performance and cyclability are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a critical review of the VPP process is presented from the fundamental viewpoint of the proposed polymerization mechanism and the parameters affecting polymer growth for a range of different monomers.
