Application

Triethylene glycol can be used:
  • To prepare fatty acid gelators, which are used to gelate various edible and vegetable oils.[1]
  • As a solvent to prepare superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for in situ protein purification.[2]
  • As an absorbent agent in the subsea natural gas dehydration process.[3]

    We report on the epitaxial growth of periodic para-hexaphenyl (p-6P)/α-sexi-thiophene (6T) multilayer heterostructures on top of p-6P nanotemplates. By the chosen approach, 6T molecules are forced to align parallel to the p-6P template molecules, which yields highly polarized photoluminescence (PL)-emission

    Flexible electronic circuits, displays, and sensors based on organic active materials will enable future generations of electronics products that may eventually enter the mainstream electronics market.

    Self-Assembled Nanodielectrics (SANDs) for Unconventional Electronics

    Oligothiophenes are important organic electronic materials which can be produced using synthetic intermediates and Suzuki coupling.

    Optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and light-emitting field effect transistors (FETs) that utilize organic materials as their light harvesting and/or charge transporting component have been the subject of much academic and commercial attention.
