    • A molecular dynamics study on glucose molecular recognition by a non-enzymatic selective sensor based on a conducting polymer 

      Zanuy Gomara, David; Fabregat Jové, Georgina; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2019-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Poly(hydroxymethyl-3,4-ethylendioxythiophene) (PHMeDOT), a very electroactive polythiophene derivative bearing a dioxane ring fused onto the thiophene ring and an exocyclic hydroxymethyl substituent, is able to electrocatalyze ...
    • Antifouling properties of papain-based antifouling coatings 

      Peres, Rafael; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida; Moreno Martinez, Juan Antonio; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur (2015-06-30)
      Article
      Open Access
      The aim of this work is to study the antifouling performance and water uptake behaviour of coatings formulated with papain (an environmentally friendly pigment). Antifouling coatings have been formulated using rosin (natural ...
    • Influence of pH in the synthesis of ferric tannate pigment for application in antifouling coatings 

      Peres, Rafael; Zmozinski, Ariane V.; Moreno Martinez, Juan Antonio; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur (2017-05-08)
      Article
      Open Access
      Ferric tannate was synthesized at pH 4 and pH 7 (FT4 and FT7, respectively) as a new class of environmentally friendly antifouling pigments. The solubility of both pigments was evaluated by gravimetric tests, showing that ...
    • Modified tannin extracted from black wattle tree as an environmentally friendly antifouling pigment 

      Peres, Rafael; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur (2015-03-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      The use of modified black wattle tannin as an antifouling pigment is reported in this work. A mixture of tannin adsorbed in activated carbon (soluble fraction of tannin) and low soluble fraction of tannin was used as an ...
    • Nanometric polythiophene films with electrocatalytic activity for non-enzymatic detection of glucose 

      Hocevar, Marcele A.; Fabregat Jové, Georgina; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur; Alemán Llansó, Carlos (2016-06-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Electrochemical detection of glucose using simple polymeric electrodes without the assistance of enzymatic or inorganic catalysts (i.e. metals or metal oxides) has been issued a challenge to the scientific community. In ...
    • Smart paint for anodic protection of steel 

      Silva, Rodrigo Sanchonete; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida; Ferreira, Jane Zoppas; Meneguzzi, Alvaro (2015-01-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      In order to overcome the difficulties associated to the solubility and mechanical integrity of polyaniline (PAni) films, in this work we develop a binder by mixing PAni in the oxidized and undoped state (emeraldine base ...
    • The influence of organophosphonic acid and conducting polymer on the adhesion and protection of epoxy coating on aluminium alloy 

      Dalmoro, Viviane; Alemán Llansó, Carlos; Ferreira, Carlos Arthur; Dos Santos, J.H.Z.; Azambuja, Denise S.; Armelín Diggroc, Elaine Aparecida (2015-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      In the present study we compared the beneficial effect on the incorporation of modified silane nanocoating and conducting polymer additive to the adhesion and protection of aluminium surface with epoxy coating. Results ...
