MoSe2 has been encapsulated with a variety of guest species. This was achieved by first treating the MoSe2 with an excess of n-BuLi to form the lithiated phase of MoSe2 (LixMoSe2). The LixMoSe2 exfoliates readily in water or NMF to yield single layers of MoSe2. Addition of solutions of polymers, org...

Polyaniline (PANI), poly(N-methyl aniline) (PMA), poly(ethyl aniline) (PEA) and poly(propyl aniline) (PPA) were synthesized in their salt form, and then characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and charge transport measurements. The solubility of the polymers was tested in a variety of solvents and N-met...

Poly[oxymethylene-(oxyethylene)] has been inserted in the gallery space Of MoS2 by using the exfoliation/re-stacking properties of LiMoS2. The resulting intercalation compound shows enhanced electronic conductivity due to a structural transformation of the MoS2 framework. The material was also chara...

The conductivity of an ordered polyphosphazene Na+-montmorillonite composite has been measured perpendicular (sigma(para)) and parallel (sigma(perp)) to the montmorillonite layers, and the sigma(para)/sigma(perp) is about 100. The temperature dependence of the conductivity is consistent with a coupl...

Herein we report on the intercalation of polyaniline, poly(2-ethylaniline), and poly(2-propylaniline) into graphite oxide. This was achieved by taking advantage of the exfoliation/reconstruction properties of the layered host. The resulting intercalates were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction...

Poly[bis-(methoxyethoxyethoxy)phosphazene] (MEEP) has been intercalated into MoS2 by using the exfoliation/re-stacking properties of LiMoS2. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper we report on the synthesis and characterization of a few alkyl substituted polyanilines into VOPO4. This was achieved by treating the monomers with the highly oxidizing host VOPO4 center dot 2H(2)O. The monomers polymerize and simultaneously insert in between the layers of the host sys...
