Novel Copolymers Based on Methoxythiophene-Flanked Diketopyrrolopyrrole for Wearable Resistive Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-25)The exposure that firefighters experience due to their occupation has recently been identified by the World Health Organization as a Group 1 carcinogen. One factor is colorless, odorless, toxic gases in “warm zones” near ... -
Simulated Annealing Reconstruction and Effective Transport Properties of PEM Fuel Cell Catalyst Layers
(University of Waterloo, 2023-11-15)A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an energy-conversion device that can be used in a wide variety of applications and is considered a promising alternative to gas and diesel engines for vehicular purposes. ... -
Solid State Structures and Transport Properties of Selenazyl Radicals
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)The synthetic routes to the salts of the 3H-naphtho[1,2-d][1,2,3]dithiazolylium cation and its three selenium containing variants are described. The most efficient approach involves the condensation of bis-acetylated ... -
Structure and Property Correlations in Heavy Atom Radicals
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-08)Neutral radicals represent versatile building blocks for the design of new conductive and magnetic molecular materials. In order to obtain good electron transport, materials displaying a high bandwidth W and a low on-site ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Multiband Neutral Radicals
(University of Waterloo, 2014-12-05)The notion that an array of free radicals might behave like metallic sodium was first suggested by McCoy and Moore in 1911. While the hypothesis represents an important historical landmark, there are many synthetic challenges ...
