In the present study, the electrosynthesis and the electrochemical characterization of azo dyes doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) were described. PEDOT film was electrochemically deposited onto indium doped tin oxide (ITO) coated/glass electrode, following azo dyes adsorption. The electropolymerized-PEDOT films on ITO glass were doped with various azo dyes; 4-Phenylazo-2-phenyliminomethyl-phenol (PAPM), 4-Phenylazo-2-(p-tolyimino-methyl)-phenol (PATM) and 4-[(2-Hydroxy-5-phenylazo-benzylidene)-amino]-benzenesulfonic acid (HPAB). The structures of azo dyes-doped PEDOT were characterized via cycle voltammograms and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Diverse doping counterions have a significant influence on the electrochemical behaviour of electropolymerized-PEDOT film. The electropolymerized-PEDOT doped by HPAB (PEDOT-HPAB) film possesses higher electrochemical activity than other azo dye-doped PEDOT composites. The main characteristics of PEDOT-azo dyes films contain uniformity, durability, and adherent on ITO electrodes, which are better when it is compared to PEDOT film.

AbstractThe present study compares the mechanical and electrochemical behaviour of austenitic (AISI 316L) stainless steel compacted at various pressures (200, 400 and 600 MPa) and conventionally sintered at super-solidus temperature of 1,400°C. The electrochemical behaviour was investigated in 0.1 N H2SO4 solution by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The shrinkage decreased and densification has been increased with increasing pressure. The mechanical and electrochemical behaviour with pressure has been correlated with densification response and microstructure (pore type, volume and morphology). Highest densification (~92% theoretical) achieved at 600 MPa (compaction pressure) and 1,400°C (sintering temperature) resulted in excellent combination of tensile strength and ductility (456 ± 40 MPa, 25 ± 1.1%), while showing excellent corrosion resistance (0.1 mmpy or 4.7 mpy).

Three types of black anodic coatings, namely, black dyeing (BD), inorganic colouring (IC), and electrolytic colouring (EC) were prepared by conventional type II sulphuric acid anodizing on Al6061 alloys. Electrochemical behaviour of these coatings was studied by exposure to 3.5% wt sodium chloride solution for prolonged immersion periods up to 360 hours. The porous layer characteristics of all sealed, fresh and autosealed coatings were investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). An equivalent circuit that reproduces the a.c. impedance results of porous aluminium oxide films is proposed. The breakpoint frequency and damage function analysis were carried out to analyse the coating's electrochemical behaviour. Corrosion morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that BD and IC behaved in a very similar manner to sulphuric acid anodising (SAA). However EC was behaving in an entirely different manner. Among all colouring methods BD was showing very less values. All these findings were further confirmed by linear polarisation studies. No major evidence of localised corrosion or pitting of the black anodic coatings was observed in SEM micrographs.

Electrochemical characteristics of AZ31 magnesium alloy after impacting by ultrasonic impact peening (UIP) were measured in order to evaluate its effect on corrosion resistance of mentioned alloy. For this purpose, potentio-dynamic polarization (PD) tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of ground and impacted samples were performed in 0.1 M NaCl solution at the temperature of 22±2 °C after 5 minutes of potential stabilization. The obtained PD curves were analysed using the Tafel extrapolation method and data from EIS measurements in form of Nyquist plots were quantified by the equivalent circuit method. The results showed clearly that application of the UIP significantly deteriorated corrosion resistance of AZ31 alloy in the chosen testing solution.

Crystalline thin of zinc selenide have been electrochemically deposited on conducting substrates of indium tin oxide, ITO glass. Initial investigation with voltammetry was done and shows that the zinc selenide films were stable towards oxidation. The best deposition potential obtained was at -0.95 V vs. Ag /AgCl while at lower deposition potentials, the films do not form well. Energy Dispersive Analysis and X-Ray spectrum indicate that the films deposited at 65oC and -0.95 V vs. Ag/AgCl have nearly stoichiometric Zn: Se ratio.

This study including prepared new colored esters containing heterocyclic with high molecular weights. In the first part of work we synthesized azo dyes [1,2] from the reaction p-toluidine with β-naphthol and o-nitro phenol, thin we synthesized Schiff bases [3,4] by the reaction anthranilic acid with benzaldehyde and dimethyl benzaldehyde. The reaction azo dyes (contain OH group) with Schiff base (contain COOH group) these led to produce the new colored esters [A1-A4]. The second part of work was modification the (C=N-) group in esters to heterocyclic compounds by reacting with phenyl iso cyanide to produce new β-lactam [B1-B4] and with anthranilic acid to get new hydroquinazoline [C1-C4]. All these compounds were characterized by physical properties and spectral methods FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR.

Supported lipid membranes are widely used platforms which serve as simplified models of cell membranes. Among numerous methods used for preparation of planar lipid films, self-assembly of bicelles appears to be promising strategy. Therefore, in this paper we have examined the mechanism of formation and the electrochemical properties of lipid films deposited onto thioglucose-modified gold electrodes from bicellar mixtures. It was found that adsorption of the bicelles occurs by replacement of interfacial water and it leads to formation of a double bilayer structure on the electrode surface. The resulting lipid assembly contains numerous defects and pinholes which affect the permeability of the membrane for ions and water. Significant improvement in morphology and electrochemical characteristics is achieved upon freeze–thaw treatment of the deposited membrane. The lipid assembly is rearranged to single bilayer configuration with locally occurring patches of the second bilayer, and the number of pinholes is substantially decreased. Electrochemical characterization of the lipid membrane after freeze–thaw treatment demonstrated that its permeability for ions and water is significantly reduced, which was manifested by the relatively high value of the membrane resistance.

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HaP) and ionic liquid (IL) modified pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) are newly developed in this assay. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were applied to examine the microscopic and electrochemical characterization of HaP and IL-modified biosensors. The interaction of curcumin with nucleic acids and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) samples was investigated by measuring the changes at the oxidation signals of both curcumin and guanine by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. The optimization of curcumin concentration, DNA concentration, and the interaction time was performed. The interaction of curcumin with PCR samples was also investigated by gel electrophoresis.
