A method for the removal of paint from a surface using a molecular adhesive comprising: applying an anionic coating to the paint to be removed; placing a pulling medium in contact with said anionic coating; said pulling medium comprising a substrate having a surface comprising a conductive polymer nanotube array; applying an electric potential across said pulling medium and said anionic coating to facilitate ionic bonding between said conductive polymer nanotube array and said anionic coating; and applying force to said pulling medium to pull away said pulling medium from said surface and thereby removing the paint which is bonded to said anionic coating which is bonded to said conductive polymer nanotube array.

Electrostatically-assisted two-step conductive polymer applique (CPA) paint removal process

A molecular adhesive system for reversibly joining two surfaces, comprising: an anionic coating on a first of two surfaces to be joined; a conductive polymer nanotube array on a second of the two surfaces to be joined; wherein said conductive polymer nanotube array is functionalized with metal nanoparticles; and an electric potential applied across said two surfaces.

A method for making a nanostructure includes preparing a perovskite precursor in a solvent where the perovskite concentration ranges from about 0.5M to about 1.5M. A substrate is coated in the perovskite precursor, and the perovskite precursor is annealed onto the substrate, thereby forming the nanostructure including the substrate with perovskite nanocrystal deposits.

Perovskite nanocrystal deposits

Methods of synthesizing and purifying ethers are described. The synthesis and purification are achieved using an etherification technique followed by one or two fractional distillations. The etherification utilizes an element having low work function properties. Examples of low work function elements include, but are not limited to, metals or their hydrides, such as sodium, lithium or potassium or some combination thereof. This technique yields ethers of greater than 90% purity.

A new class of polymers based upon the radialene group as the parent repeating group and characterized by the following general formula: 

Omniconjugated conductive polymers and methods for making the same

A synthesis of a new pyrazole-containing monomer by means of an easily implemented two-step process. This monomer can be electropolymerized to yield a stable n-doping polymer that may easily be electrochemically characterized. It is demonstrated that the electrochemical behavior of the polymer films produced is dependent upon the conditions applied during electrodeposition. Films deposited by cycling only at relatively positive potentials (0 to 2000 mV) show less intense n-doping responses than those films obtained by scanning the applied potential throughout a wider range (&#x2212;2000 mV to 2000 mV).
