Solid State Nmr Characterization Of Conductive Polyanilines, Yanina Anatolievna Goddard Jan 2004

Solid State Nmr Characterization Of Conductive Polyanilines, Yanina Anatolievna Goddard

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Different forms of ring deuterated polyaniline with different conductivity have been characterized by solid state deuteron nuclear magnetic resonance.;Quadrupole echo (QE) spectra of all forms of polyaniline consist of a superposition of lineshapes for nearly rigid aromatic rings and a small fraction of rings which undergo fast 180?? flips. The intensity of the fast flipping component is temperature dependent and different for conductive emeraldine salt (ES) and non-conductive emeraldine base (EB). This is a manifestation of the different structure and morphology of these polymers.;Simultaneous measurements of QE lineshapes and the relaxation time anisotropies allowed an accurate description of motion in …

Binding Studies On Molecularly Imprinted Polymers, Lucy Yue Hu

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Molecular imprinting is a rapidly developing technique for preparation of polymeric materials that are capable of molecular recognition for selective separation and chemical identification. to prepare molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), a functional monomer and a crosslinker are polymerized in the presence of a template molecule. Then the template is extracted leaving sites which are complementary in both shape and chemical functionality to those of the template. This resin then becomes capable of selectively absorbing the template species. Because of MIPs' stability, predesigned selectivity, and easy preparation, they have been used for separation, sensor, drug development and directed synthesis.;In this study, …
