Fibers resulting from pulping of wood are negatively charged by nature. Both the cellulose and hemicelluloses contribute to the anionicity. The negative charge of cellulosic material can be reversed with the same reagent commonly used for the cationization of starch. In this study, a bleached Kraft pulp was cationized…

The oxygenic photosynthesis of green plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria is the major provider of energy-rich compounds in the biosphere. The so-called "Z-scheme" is at the heart of this "engine of life". Two photosystems (photosystem I and II) work in series to build up a higher redox ability than each photosystem…

Monodisperse metal clusters provide a unique platform for investigating magnetic exchange within molecular magnets. Herein, the core-shell structure of the monodisperse molecule magnet of [Gd52 Ni56 (IDA)48 (OH)154 (H2 O)38 ]@SiO2 (1 a@SiO2 ) was prepared by encapsulating one high-nuclearity lanthanide-transition-meta…

Halogen-free organophosphorus flame retardants are considered as replacements for the phased-out class of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). However, toxicological information on new flame retardants is still limited. Based on their excellent flame retardation potential, we have selected three novel 9,10-dihydro-…

The drag force exerted on a moving dislocation by a field of mobile solutes is studied in the steady state. The drag force is numerically calculated as a function of the dislocation velocity for both perfect and extended dislocations. The sensitivity of the non-dimensionalized force–velocity curve to the various contr…

Amphiphilic Janus particles are successfully obtained via a powerful strategy combining diffusion-induced phase separation and magnetically driven dewetting. A large-area, amphiphilic monolayer is been formed via a self-assembly paradigm based on a synergy between the amphiphilicity, shape anisotropy, and external mag…

Multispectral light perfect absorption is desired for many applications. Herein, we propose and demonstrate a novel multi-band light perfect absorber (MLPA) scheme based on a triple-layer dielectric meta-material structure coupled with a metal substrate. Four absorption bands with the maximal absorbance up to 98.9% an…

Periodic microphases universally emerge in systems for which short-range interparticle attraction is frustrated by long-range repulsion. The morphological richness of these phases makes them desirable material targets, but our relatively coarse understanding of even simple models hinders controlling their assembly. We…

Monolayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), a member of the TMDCs family, is an appealing candidate for coupling to gold plasmonic nanostructures as it has smaller bandgap and higher electron mobility in comparison to frequently studied molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The PL of MoSe2 occurs in the near-infrared spectral ran…

In this work, the investigation of the physical, mechanical, and morphological properties of the rice husk flour/polypropylene composites was performed utilizing various filler loadings and coupling agent. Five levels of filler loading (35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 wt%) were designed. In addition, to help the interaction be…

This article reviews the main progress in the development of typical thermoset shape memory polymers. Thermoset polymers are usually stronger in their microstructure than thermoplastic polymers due to their covalently crosslinked three-dimensional networks. The virtues of thermoset polymers make them great source mate…

In this paper, a micromorphic, non-linear 3D model aiming to describe internal friction phenomena in concrete is considered. A reduced two-degrees-of-freedom model is employed for the sake of easy handling to explain dissipative loops which have been observed in some concrete specimens tested under cyclic uniaxial com…

ABSTRACT Because of their ability to show ferroelectret behavior when exposed to an external electric field, cellular polymers have been recently considered for ferroelectret applications. These cellular polymer films can be produced by stretching or foaming, but depending on the application and conditions, different…

For textiles containing nanosilver, we assessed benefit (antimicrobial efficacy) in parallel with potential to release nanosilver (impact) during multiple life cycle stages. The silver loading and method of silver attachment to the textile highly influenced the silver release during washing. Multiple sequential simula…
