The electrochemical properties of low molecular weight organic compounds having perfluoroalkyl groups (Compound 1 and 2) were researched by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). According to CV, oxidation and reduction of the electrode surface were occurred having nothing to form solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). On the other hand, LSV was measured in order to research into the oxidation potential, compound 1 having no resonance structures was stable electrochemically than compound 2 having them.

The orientation of cylindrical and lamellar micro-phase separated structures of some block copolymers (BCP) in thin films was investigated by grazing incident small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy. The thin films were made from solution using selective solvents the major component of the BCP. The spherical structure was arrested initially in the film with a thickness of 500 nm-1 µm. Solvent annealing, using common solvents, induced a morphology transition from spherical to a vertically oriented cylindrical (lamellar) structure. A neutral solvent for both components in the BCP was found to be effective for the perpendicular orientation of the micro-domains.
