metal—polyaniline nanocomposites such as platinum-polyaniline nanocomposite is prepared by insitu oxidative polymerization of aniline and reduction of pt+4 ions into pt nanoparticles. thepolymerization of aniline was carried out in the presence of 1(2ptcn6 [potassium hexa cyanoplatinate (iv)] as oxidizing agent. during the reaction aniline monomers undergo oxidation andform polyaniline (pant) w...

Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over semiconducting niobate nanosheets is synergistically improved by coexisting photochemically inactive additives of clay particles and sodium chloride without precise nanoscopic structural regulation. In addition, the Pt cocatalyst loaded on the clay particles works better than that photodeposited on the photocatalytic nanosheets.

Introduction Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is significant issue in the UK. Under diagnosis and management results in avoidable heart attacks, strokes and amputations. Our NHS organisation has commissioned a new Podiatryled, multidisciplinary, community-based, PAD service. It is focussed on stimulating identification, diagnosis and management, as part of an approach to address poor local car...
