A multi-component nanocomposite screen-printed ink with non-linear touch sensitive electrical conductivity (2013)
Journal Article

Printable electronics is an innovative area of technology with great commercial potential. Here, a screen-printed functional ink, comprising a combination of semiconducting acicular particles, electrically insulating nanoparticles and a base polymer...

Guest-host interactions between dichroic dyes and anisotropic hosts. (2006)
Journal Article

The guest–host interaction between dichroic dyes and anistropic hosts has been investigated by means of optical spectroscopy. Two different TCNQ adducts; 2-{4-[(2,6-dimethylmorpholin-4-yl)(4-metylpiperidin-1-yl)methylene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene}...

Metal-polymer composite with nanostructured filler particles and amplified physical properties (2006)
Journal Article

The limits of conductivity of a novel elastomeric matrix–nanostructured nickel powder composite are reported. The conductivity falls by a factor of 2×1014 for compression and by a similar amount in extension. Uncompressed and highly compressed compos...

Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules (2003)
Journal Article

When a dipolar-conjugated molecule can lower its energy through gaining aromaticity, there can be a quite dramatic evolution of its polarisation properties dependent on the local reaction field generated in its environment. We have studied conjugated... Read More about Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules.

Matrix dependence of light emission from TCNQ adducts (2001)
Journal Article

The reactions of primary and secondary amines with 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane(TCNQ) lead to mono- and di-substituted adducts. Fluorescence emission has been observed for several of these compounds. The luminescence property of the TCNQ adduc... Read More about Matrix dependence of light emission from TCNQ adducts.

Dissolution and spectroscopic properties of the polydiacetylene poly(10,12-docosadiyne-1,12-diol-bisethylurethane) (2001)
Journal Article

The polydiacetylenes with alkyl-urethane pendent groups, { - (CH2)nOCONHX}, have been extensively studied. The nBCMU polymers (X = - CH2COO(CH2)mCH3 , m = 3) are highly soluble while the nEU (X = - (CH2)mCH3, n = 1) and nPU (X = - C6H5) are much less...
