Fabrication of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) microstructured surface imprinted from patterned silicon wafer with a self-cleaning property
Microrod patterns were fabricated on PDMS sheets utilizing porous silicon wafers as templates. The prepared microrod PDMS surface showed high water and oil contact angles. To discuss the mechanism, theoretical...

Photoelectric properties of C60-poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) composite gel prepared via a low-temperature organic-solvent process
C60 fullerene derivatives, which are formed by grafting polymer chains on a C60 fullerene, can improve the solubility of C60 in solvents. These derivatives are able to composite with various functional polymers t...

Preparation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-terminated carbon nanotubes and determining their aggregation properties in response to infrared light and heating
In this work, we newly prepared the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MCNT)-grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) on their termini. After grafting PNIPAM, MCNTs dispersed well into water. In addition, the synt...
