Subject:
coatings; composite polymers; films (materials); transistors
Abstract:
... Semiconducting donor–acceptor copolymers are considered to be a promising material class for solution-coated, large-scale organic electronic applications. A large number of works have shown that the best-performing organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) are obtained on low-surface-energy substrates. The meniscus instabilities that occur when coating on such surfaces considerably limit the effect ...

Balanus; Navicula; adhesion; biofilm; composite polymers; fouling; hydrophilicity; moieties; sulfobetaine; zwitterions
Abstract:
... Zwitterionic chemical groups have well-documented resistance to marine fouling species when presented as homogeneous polymer brushes. These model formulations are not, however, suitable for practical fouling-control applications. It is presently unknown if a uniform film of zwitterions is required to elicit nonfouling character via the binding of interfacial water or if the incorporation of zwitte ...
