Congratulations to Ching-Yu for being selected as a finalist in the 2024 SCS Science Image Challenge with her entry, The Rise of Godzilla from the Sea!
Her entry presents an SEM image of self-assembled aniline oligomers on top of a layer of polyaniline. The arrayed spikes consist of oligoaniline, a by-product of aniline electropolymerization reaction. Free oligoanilines in the solution can self-assemble through supramolecular forces and form diverse morphologies depending on the assembly conditions. Her image will be displayed in the Willard Airport Cafe in Champaign, IL.
