In the fight against climate change, effective energy storage applications are required to efficiently store the energy of renewable sources. Supercapacitors are one of the energy storage applications under vigorous research ...

This project focuses on cationic isothiouronium polythiophenes (CITs), a particular type of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs). In general, CPEs combine a pi-conjugated polymer backbone with pendant ionic groups, which ...

The smectites represent a versatile class of clay minerals, offering possibilities of applications in several industrial and scientific fields. The hectorite belongs to this class, but it has the advantage of production ...

In this thesis work, a group of natural oligomers and polymers called proanthocyanidins was studied via multiple chemical approaches. At first, the proanthocyanidins were purified from eleven Finnish plant species with a ...

Metal-mediated base pairs have attracted considerable attention during the past decades for their potential in bio- and nanotechnological applications. The introduction of metal ions into DNA or RNA not only stabilizes ...
