Graphene oxide is composed of oxygenated functional groups, the most prevalent of which are carboxyl, carbonyl, epoxy, and hydroxyl. These functional groups present on graphe are polar, making it very ...

Scientists chipping away at one of the great challenges of metal-catalyzed C--H functionalization with a new method that uses a cobalt catalyst to differentiate between bonds in fluoroarenes, ...

Functionalization is a process of modifying the surface chemistry of nanomaterials by attaching functional groups, molecules, or biomolecules to their surface. This process aims to enhance the ...

Recent studies highlight how artificial intelligence is driving breakthroughs in carbon nanotube synthesis and functionalization, while also transforming academic research and writing practices.

Chemists break down barriers between labs and institutions to join forces for a new way of doing organic synthesis. Chemists synthesized a highly complex natural molecule through a revolutionary ...

The surface of a material plays a pivotal role in determining its mechanical properties (e.g., friction and wear), the interaction with the environment (e.g., wettability), optical appearance, ...
