Graphene oxide is composed of oxygenated functional groups, the most prevalent of which are carboxyl, carbonyl, epoxy, and hydroxyl. These functional groups present on graphe are polar, making it very ...

If using the AFM alone, one cannot observe that only one of these surfaces has a successful monolayer. Photo-induced Force Microscopy ( PiFM) overcomes this restriction by concurrently providing ...

Scientists chipping away at one of the great challenges of metal-catalyzed C--H functionalization with a new method that uses a cobalt catalyst to differentiate between bonds in fluoroarenes, ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has succeeded in depositing nitrogen-containing organic molecules as a highly ordered layer on silicon. This opens up new perspectives for the development of ...

The surface of a material plays a pivotal role in determining its mechanical properties (e.g., friction and wear), the interaction with the environment (e.g., wettability), optical appearance, ...

Instruction/Departmental Research IN Departmental Research includes space used for general research that is not organized research and is not separately budgeted and ...
