Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

A review was presented to demonstrate a historical description of the synthesis of light-emitting conjugated polymers for applications in electroluminescent devices. Electroluminescence (EL) was first reported in poly(para-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) in 1990 and researchers continued to make significant efforts to develop conjugated materials as the active units in light-emitting devices (LED) to be used in display applications. Conjugated oligomers were used as luminescent materials and as models for conjugated polymers in the review. Oligomers were used to demonstrate a structure and property relationship to determine a key polymer property or to demonstrate a technique that was to be applied to polymers. The review focused on demonstrating the way polymer structures were made and the way their properties were controlled by intelligent and rational and synthetic design.

Electrospun membrane of cellulose acetate for heavy metal ion adsorption in water treatment

In this study, electrospinning was used to fabricate ethyl–cyanoethyl cellulose [(E-CE)C] fiber from a solution of (E-CE)C/tetrahydrofuran The diameter of the thinnest fiber fabricated during the electrospinning was about 200 nm It was found that the diameters of the fibers and their distribution depend on the processing parameters and properties of the solution, such as viscosity, temperature, and concentration, for example The morphology of the fiber was also observed by SEM © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc J Appl Polym Sci 91: 242–246, 2004
