Abstract Nanostructured MnO 2 has been synthesized using a simple and rapid microwave‐assisted hydrothermal ( MHT ) technique through the decomposition of KM nO 4 in a hydrochloric acid solution. The effects of hydrothermal temperature and ramp rate were examined and discussed. It was found that a lower temperature (1…

The presence of absorbed hydrogen (H) within pure iron and most steels (including carbon and stainless steels) has been found to increase their corrosion. Historically, the enhanced corrosion of H-charged steels has been attributed to the ability of H to destabilize the passive film formed upon the metal. However, rec…

We use numerical simulations to study the effect of particle friction on suspension flows of non-Brownian hard particles. By systematically varying the microscopic friction coefficient μ_{p} and the viscous number J, we build a phase diagram that identifies three regimes of flow: frictionless, frictional sliding, and…

Abstract Multi scale hierarchical structures underpin mechanical, optical, and wettability behavior in nature. Here we present a novel approach which can be used to mimic the natural hierarchical patterns in a quick and easy maskless fabrication. By using two‐beam interference lithography with angle‐multiplexed exposu…

Sugar palm fibre (SPF) was used to prepare composites with phenolic resin. The SPF underwent treatment with either sea water for 30 d or a 0.5% alkaline solution for 4 h. The composites contained 30% (vol.) SPF in a powdered form, and the composite samples were fabricated by a hot press machine. The effects of the fib…

switch possessing a phenanthridinyl π-system has been synthesized, and its switching properties have been characterized as a function of concentration. The switch self-aggregates through π-π interactions, and the degree of aggregation modulates the Z → E thermal isomerization rate. This property allows for the active…

We describe the design of lubricating and wear protecting fluids based on mixtures of bottle-brushes (BB) and linear polymer solutions. To illustrate this concept, we used hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring linear polyelectrolyte, and a water-soluble synthetic BB polymer. Individually, these two polymers exhi…

Though topochemical reactions are attractive, the difficulty associated with crystallization such as low yield, unsuitability for large-scale synthesis, etc. warranted the exploitation of other self-assembled media for topochemical reactions. We synthesized a dipeptide gelator decorated with azide and alkyne at its te…

We developed a monolithic CdTe–PbS tandem solar cell architecture in which both the CdTe and PbS absorber layers are solution-processed from nanocrystal inks. Due to their tunable nature, PbS quantum dots (QDs), with a controllable band gap between 0.4 and ∼1.6 eV, are a promising candidate for a bottom absorber layer…
