Gentle annealing and photopolymerization under inert atmospheres strongly enhance the quality of polydiacetylene monolayers. These simple measures not only triple the average degree of polymerization but also alter the preferred photoexcitation mode and cause pronounced nano-alignment during the early stages of polymerization.

In this study, waste catering oil was processed into a gel (NJ), sesame straw was processed into biochar (ZM), and the two were modified with zinc oxide nanoparticles and phosphoric acid to form NJZ and ZMP, respectively. Both materials were then coupled to obtain a polymer gel-biochar composite (N-Z). The materials were characterised by infrared spectros ...
