Luffa cylindrica (LC), a tropical vegetal product, consists of highly vascular system. It has been modified by calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate separately to produce composites of Ca-salts. The modified form of LC has been reinforced with novolac resin at 30 °C to provide cross linked polymer composites. The co…
This manuscript first describes a simple synthesis of tungsten oxide (WO(x)) nanorods from templated W foil using a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique at 600-750 °C, then presents the formation of tungsten oxynitride (WO(x)N(y)) nanorods via nitridation at 650 °C for different reaction times. The W foil, blade…
We investigate the modulation of recombination lifetimes of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) dispersed in a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) photonic cavity. Using ultrafast spectroscopic techniques we focus on the time-resolved emission from QD ensembles in CLC matrices with either planar or homeotropic alignment. In the…
The crystal structure of the high-temperature phase (HT-form or form III) of barbituric acid has been solved from X-ray powder diffraction data. It was found to be monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 8.5302(3) Å, b = 6.8167(3) Å, c = 9.3304(4) Å, β = 89.865(2)°, volume = 542.54(4) Å3 at T = 236(1) °C. The crystal struct…
In the quest for greater control over biomacromolecular loading and higher encapsulation efficiencies for biomacromolecule loaded microcapsules we devised a novel approach employing water soluble sacrificial templates. In traditional layer by layer (LbL) methods, aqueous solutions of polyelectrolyte salts in combinati…
A detailed atomistic model of amorphous diamond-like carbon was developed combining experimental neutron scattering data (K. W. R. Gilkes, P. H. Gaskell and J. Robertson, Phys. Rev. B, 1995, 51, 12303) with the hybrid reverse Monte Carlo method. From the experimentally consistent nanoscale model of the disordered tetr…
Squarylium and croconium dianionic dyes with tetranitrofluorene terminal groups have been synthesized. A distinctive feature of their absorption is multiple fairly intense bands in the VIS and NIR regions (up to 1060 nm). DFT quantum chemical calculation (including polarizing continuum simulation of solvent) was used…
In this study, AgBr nanoparticles were prepared by controlled single jet method in the presence of gelatine and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). In order to obtain better insight about the effect of PVP and its compatibility with gelatine on the formation of AgBr nanoparticles, effects of both components (gelatine, PVP) in…
The aliphatic polyamide 4.6 (PA 4.6) has unique properties compared to the commonly used polyamides 6 (PA 6) and 6.6 (PA 6.6). The purpose of this paper is to produce uniform and reproducible nanofibrous PA 4.6 structures. Therefore, a mixture of the solvent formic acid and the nonsolvent acetic acid is used to dissol…
The fluid flow in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system of a 600MW power plant was simulated and optimized to reduce oxides of nitrogen(NOx) emanated from a coal-fired boiler. Some configuration parameters such as the location and number of guide plates as well as the shape of Mixer were modeled and studied n…
A series of 5,5′-diphenyl-2,2′-dithiophene based X-shaped polyphiles with two long lateral alkyl chains and terminal glycerol groups was synthesized and the liquid crystalline phases formed by these compounds were investigated by polarizing microscopy, DSC and XRD. These compounds form square (p4mm and p4gm) and hexag…
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) with various PSS composition ratios (α) was synthesized by oxidative polymerization and particle size distribution and zeta potential of the resulting colloidal gel particles were investigated by means of a dynamic light scattering techni…
The self-assembly in aqueous solution of PEG-peptide conjugates comprising a model amyloid peptide sequence FFKLVFF that contains the Aβ(16–20) KLVFF motif is investigated. X-ray diffraction reveals different packing motifs dependent on PEG chain length. This is correlated to remarkable differences in self-assembled n…
The chemomechanical and electrical properties of (Pr , Ce)O 2- thin films were studied between 30 and 875 C in air by in situ X-ray diffraction and complex impedance spectroscopy measurements. Reduction/oxidation reactions produced large stress variations (2 GPa) in the structure. Atomistic simulation techniques were…
Application of pressure on the Cu-complex CuAsp causes Jahn-Teller Cu-O bonds to be compressed, increasing the coordination environment from [4 + 1] to [4 + 2], highlighted by a discontinuity on compression of these bonding interactions.
The dealloying behavior of bi-phase Al–Ag alloys in 5 wt.% HCl in non-treated and magnetic treated conditions was comparatively investigated. The as-dealloyed samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis coupled with SEM. The resu…
Co3O4 nanoparticles have been obtained by stoichiometric combustion synthesis: in particular 4 nitrates-aspartic routes each with different fuel ratio (ranging 0.5-2.5) have been studied. It has been determined through XRD that the crystalline structure present in all obtained powders was the face-centered cubic corre…
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon whose structure is based on one-atom-thick planar sheets of carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. Its unique electrical and optical properties raised worldwide interest towards the design and fabrication of future electronic and optical devices with unm…
We report on the facile and switchable alignment of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles measuring ∼18 nm in diameter in electrospun microfibers. Application of a magnetic field perpendicular to the electric field employed during electrospinning yields polymeric microfibers with nanoparticles aligned in one-dime…
