The emergence of amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) thin film based photovoltaic applications has provoked great interest in its physical properties. In this work, we report the first comprehensive study of thermal transport in the a-SiC thin film from 10 nm to 50 nm under various conditions using empirical molecular d…
This work explores the possibility of reducing the flammability of unsaturated polyester (UP) resin, commonly used in marine composites, by co-blending with less combustible and char-forming resins such as phenol-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde and furans. The compatibility and curing properties of UP, other resin…
Adsorbed bimodal chains on nanoparticles are shown to improve the mechanical and glassy properties of polymer nanocomposites.
The inhibition of the corrosion of Mild Steel (MS) in 1 M HCl solution by a new synthesised organic compound, namely 1,1'-(2,2'-(2,2'-oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyl)bis (sulfanediyl))bis(ethane-2,1-diyl))diazepan-2-one, has been studied by weight loss measurements, electrochemical polarisation and electrochemical impedance sp…
The effects of solution (sol) processed contacts of indium tin oxide (ITO-sol) and gold (Au-sol) on solar cells are tested. When combined with solution processed active layers of CdTe/CdSe, all-inorganic fully solution processed solar cells are produced on non-conductive glass substrates. Under AM 1.5G illumination, o…
We report the curing process of epoxy oligomers by using isomethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride catalyzed with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts. Catalytic action has been ascertained to be dependent on the nature of anion. Salts with<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mo stretchy="fal…
Exploration of valuable information from peptide biomarkers in biological fluids for early diagnosis and elucidation of disease has drawn increasing attention in clinical biomedicine. In this work, a novel affinity probe consisting of magnetic core and mesoporous silica shell incorporated with TiO2 has been constructe…
The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of silver, platinum, palladium and copper nanoparticles on <i>Proteus sp. </i>and <i>Klebsiella </i>Sp. isolated from polluted water samples. This study investigated the growth of the two tested bacterial cells in order to obser…
Multifunctional lumino-magnetic YAG:Ce nanophosphors for LEDs and spintronics devices.
(endotemplating) and its characterizations had been investigated. The mesoporous silica (SBA-15) as a template was reacted with the gelatie in a H 2 SO 4 solution. The template-polymer composite was then pyrolyzed under a nitrogen flow at 900 C for 3 h to carbonize the polymer and finished by silica removal from the c…
DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA–AgNCs) have emerged as promising materials for sensing, bio-labelling, and bio-imaging due to their fluorogenic properties. Using the 12 mer DNA with a cytosine-rich sequence, AgCNs have been formed successfully. Herein, we develop two different types of DNA–AgNC systems for the…
We report on the tailor-made polymer conjugates, which are highly compelling for biomedical applications due to their antioxidant activity and the adjustable thermosensitive properties.
The properties of PHB may be affected by the carbon source used in its production and this may affect nanofibres made from this polymer by electrospinning. In this study, P(3-HB) was produced from glucose, rapeseed oil, and olive oil by Ralstonia eutropha H16. Cell growth and polymer production were higher in olive or…

With their unique ability for substrate recognition and their sequence-specific self-assembly properties, peptides play an important role in controlling the mineralization of inorganic materials in natural systems and in controlling the assembly of soft materials into complex structures required for biological functio…
The structure and formation energies of cation antisite defects for a series of stannate pyrochlores A 2 Sn 2 O 7 (A = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Lu, and Y) and titanate pyrochlores A 2 Ti 2 O 7 (A = La, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Lu, and Y) have been systematically investigated using the first-principles to…
A remarkable difference in thermal desorption spectra of hydrogen obtained from pre-strained high-strength steel specimens which were charged with hydrogen by two different methods was observed. One charging method is by immersion in NH4SCN solution and the other is by cyclic corrosion tests. In order to understand th…
NO adsorption, diffusion and reaction at reduced CeO2(110) were studied by density functional theory calculations. NO accommodated by O vacancies can readily diffuse via alternate NO2 formation and dissociation, facilitating N2O2 formation and subsequent reduction to N2. Rare earth ceria plays an important catalytic r…
We present the synthesis and characterization of a series of four fluorescent Sn(iv) Schiff base complexes, which also possess long-lived triplet excited states. The complexes absorb visible light (λmax = 420 to 462 nm) and the optical properties are easily tunable without laborious synthetic elaboration. The triplet…
Both classical and quantum mechanical simulation techniques have been applied to investigate the incorporation, migration and potential binding of protonic defects in bulk yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ). The calculated redox reaction energies are found to be high, although the reduction energies are lower than those…
