Inkjet Printing of Functional Polymer Composites for Chemiresistive Gas Sensors

Jürgen Brugger, Thomas Maeder, Mohammadmahdi Kiaee

Drop-on-Demand Inkjet printing can be used as an effective technique to deposit the sensing layer in chemiresistive gas sensors. In this type of gas sensors, a composite containing an insulating polymer mixed with a conductive filler is used for sensing an ...

Cyclic Hypervalent Iodine Reagents for Atom-Transfer Reactions: Beyond Trifluoromethylation

Jérôme Waser, Durga Prasada Rao Hari, Yifan Li, Maria Victoria Vita

Hypervalent iodine compounds are privileged reagents in organic synthesis because of their exceptional reactivity. Among these compounds, cyclic derivatives stand apart because of their enhanced stability. They have been widely used as oxidants, but their ...

Analysis of functional groups in atmospheric aerosols by infrared spectroscopy: sparse methods for statistical selection of relevant absorption bands

Satoshi Takahama, Giulia Ruggeri

Various vibrational modes present in molecular mixtures of laboratory and atmospheric aerosols give rise to complex Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectra. Such spectra can be chemically informative, but they often require sophisticated algo ...

A universal chemical potential for sulfur vapours

Davide Tiana

The unusual chemistry of sulfur is illustrated by the tendency for catenation. Sulfur forms a range of open and closed S-n species in the gas phase, which has led to speculation on the composition of sulfur vapours as a function of temperature and pressure ...
