Six star-shaped oligomers containing triphenylamine (D1-D3) and benzene unit (D4-D6) as cores have been synthesized by Wittig condensation or Heck coupling reaction using aromatic aldehydes and triphenylphosphonium salts or aromatic halogenated compounds with vinyl triphenylamine. All oligomers have well-defined molecular structure and high purity. Characterization of the oligomers was made by ...

Corrosion resistance and specific finctional properties (dielectrical and decorative properties, adhesion, wear resistance) of aluminium alloys can be improved by su&ace treatments as electrochemical or chemical conversion reaction. The purpose of this study is to discuss the applicability of spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and electrochemical impedance spectrometry (EIS) for the characterizati...

The data reported in literature demonstrate that carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) are very suitable for a variety of applications and many works have thus been devoted in the development of new sensitive and selective electrode surfaces based on carbon paste as the electrode material of choice. The application of novel and promising carbonaceous materials, as electrode surfaces, is an issue of gr...

Integral membrane proteins are encountered in fundamental natural processes, such as photosynthesis and respiration. The relation between the structure of the proteins and their function and dynamics are still not clear in most cases. Once fully understood, these processes could ultimately help researchers to develop alternative methods for producing energy, either from light or biomass. They c...

The present study concentrates on the synthesis of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous solution of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and tetrachloroaurate by different methods as thermal, sonochemical and electrochemical reduction. The PVP has been used as a reducing agent and acts as a stabilizer for Au nano particles that obtained as principal product. In all synthesis procedures, the active radi...

Electrosynthesis process has been used for preparation of zinc sulfide nanoparticles. Zinc sulfide nanoparticles in different size and shapes were electrodeposited by electrolysis of zinc plate as anode in sodium sulfide solution. Effects of several reaction variables, such as electrolysis voltage, sulfide ion concentration as reactant, stirring rate of electrolyte solution and temperature on p...
