Electrically conducting poly[E-1,2-(4,4prime-dihexyl-2,2prime-dithienyl)ethylene] was synthesized and structurally characterized by UV-visible, 1H NMR, and FTIR spectroscopy. The head-to-head arrangement of the alkylthiophene dyads directly affects the UV-visible, photoluminescence, and electroluminescence maxima of the polymer. The conductivity of the doped polymer was measured to be ~2 S cm-1 and the stability of the oxidized polymer possessing various dopants was compared. UV-visible irradiation of PDHDTE rendered the films insoluble and photolithography was used to produce micron-size images. FTIR was used to monitor the photoproducts during photolysis of PDHDTE. Mechanisms of photooxidation were proposed, based on the photoproducts observed.Key words: polythiophene derivative, head-to-head dyad, photolithography, photooxidation, electroluminescence.

AbstractSoft reactive adhesives (SRAs) are polymer-based materials (e.g., polyurethanes, polysiloxanes, polydienes) designed to be further vulcanized or slightly cross-linked through external activation (heat, moisture, oxygen, UV–visible irradiation, etc.), either at the time of their application or within a subsequent predefined period. They are used mainly as mastics, or sealing compounds, in a wide range of industrial and commercial fields such as construction, footwear, and the automotive industry. Generally deposited as thick films, SRAs behave as structural adhesives; their low elastic moduli accommodate large strains between the bonded parts without incurring permanent damage. Other outstanding attributes of SRAs are their resistance to solvents, their ability to withstand aggressive environments, and their ease of use. This article discusses examples of SRAs and, more specifically, shows how the cross-linking chemistry, mainly through step-growth polymerization, provides their primary advantages.

Dalam kajian ini, ZnO dan TiO2 digunakan sebagai fotomangkin dalam pendegradasian pewarna New Methylene Blue N (NMBN). Kadar fotodegradasi diukur menggunakan alat spektrofotometer UV-Vis. Dalam kajian ini, New Methylene Blue N menunjukkan nilai serapan pada λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm. Lampu UV (λ = 354 nm) digunakan dalam proses fotodegradasi. Dalam proses degradasi menggunakan ZnO menunjukkan 81.42% NMBN terdegradasi pada λ = 590 nm dan 77.75% pada λ = 286 nm. Sebaliknya, degradasi menggunakan TiO2 adalah 25.68% pada λ = 590 nm dan 26.37% pada λ = 286 nm. Peratus degradasi New Methylene Blue N ialah 88.89% dan 68.94% pada masing-masing λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm apabila ditambahkan dengan H2O2. Campuran ZnO dan TiO2 dalam nisbah 85: 15 (0.085 g; 0.015 g) merupakan campuran fotomangkin yang paling optimum iaitu dengan peratus degradasi NMBN sebanyak 96.97% dan 93.61% pada λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm. Penambahan ion logam Cu2+ memberikan peratus degradasi tertinggi berbanding ion logam lain iaitu 83.83% pada λ = 590 nm. Penambahan ion logam Pb2+ memberikan peratus degradasi tertinggi pada λ = 286 nm iaitu 81.25% pewarna terdegradasi. Keadaan optimum dicapai pada pH 5.90, dengan peratus degradasi tertinggi iaitu 92.84% dan 89.30% pada masing-masing λ = 590 nm dan λ = 286 nm. Kata kunci: New Methylene Blue N; fotodegradasi; larutan; ZnO; TiO2 In this study, ZnO and TiO2 are used as photocatalyst to degrade the dye, New Methylene Blue N (NMBN). The photodegradation rate was measured using UV-Visible spectrophotometer. In this study, New Methylene Blue N showed absorption values at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm. UV lamp (λ = 354 nm) is used in the photodegradation process. Results showed that ZnO is a better photocatalyst compared to TiO2. The degradation by ZnO showed that 81% of NMBN was degraded at λ = 590 nm and 77.75% at λ = 286 nm. In contratst, the degradation using TiO2 was 25.68% at λ = 590 nm and 26.37% at λ = 286 nm. The percent degradation of New Methylene Blue N is 88.89% and 68.94% at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm respectively when H2O2 was added. A mixture of ZnO and TiO2 in the ratio of 85: 15 (0.085 g: 0.015 g) is the most optimum ratio for the mixed photocatalyst where the degradation percentage of NMBN are 96.97% and 93.61% at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm. The addition of Cu2+ metal ion gave the highest percentage of degradation (83.83% at λ = 590 nm) compared to other metal ions. The addition of Pb2+ gave the highest percentage of degradation at λ = 286 nm with 81.25% degradation of the dye. The optimum condition was achieved at pH 5.90, which gave the highest percentage degradation, 92.84% and 89.30% at λ = 590 nm and λ = 286 nm respectively.
