General description

Perylene molecules are fluorescent in nature. Ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy and low energy electron diffraction of the structure of 4Å thick perylene dye layers adsorbed on the surface of Ru (0001) has been investigated.

Application

Perylene was used in the fabrication of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) : poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanocomposite thin films. Perylene nanoparticles doped into poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) were used to monitor the temperature change caused due to the nanoparticle plasmon-mediated heating within the polymer fibres and films. Ordered epitaxial perylene films may be used to fabricate a multilayered electroluminescent device.

Task-Specific Ionic Liquids

Task-Specific Ionic Liquids (TSILs) for the selective liquid/liquid extraction of heavy metals from aqueous systems were first published by Robin D. Rogers et al. in the year 2001.

Stretchable Electroluminescent Devices

Dr. Tan and researcher introduce recent trends in Self-healing Soft Electronic Materials and Devices. The emergence of smart, functional SHPs will be highly beneficial to the advancement of the next-generation self-healing soft electronic devices. Autonomously self-healing devices could help to minimize the need for repair or replacement of electronics and machines, potentially reducing the cost of materials and reducing electronic waste.
