All compounds are ionic liquids (ILs) with melting points between 69 and 93 degrees C. X-ray diffraction proves that all ILs are isostructural. The conductivity at room temperature is between 10(-4) and 10(-8) S cm(-1). Some Cu-based ILs reach conductivities of 10(-2) S cm(-1), which is, however, probably due to IL dec. This correlates with the optical bandgap measurements indicating the formation of large bandgap semiconductors. At elevated temperatures approaching the melting points, the conductivities reach up to 1.47x10(-1) S cm(-1) at 70 degrees C. The electrochemical stability windows of the ILs are between 2.5 and 3.0 V.}, language = {en} } @article{SchneiderFritzschePuciulMalinowskaetal.2020, author = {Schneider, Matthias and Fritzsche, Nora and Puciul-Malinowska, Agnieszka and Balis, Andrzej and Mostafa, Amr and Bald, Ilko and Zapotoczny, Szczepan and Taubert, Andreas}, title = {Surface etching of 3D printed poly(lactic acid) with NaOH: a systematic approach}, series = {Polymers}, volume = {12}, journal = {Polymers}, number = {8}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, pages = {16}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The article describes a systematic investigation of the effects of an aqueous NaOH treatment of 3D printed poly(lactic acid) (PLA) scaffolds for surface activation.
