We report the seed/catalyst-free growth of ZnO on multilayer graphene by thermal evaporation of Zn in the presence of O2 gas. The effects of substrate temperatures were studied. The changes of morphologies were very significant where the grown ZnO structures show three different structures, i.e., nanoclusters, nanorod…

ABSTRACT Nitrile rubber/silica composites are prepared by a sol–gel process using tetraethoxysilane as precursor in the presence of γ‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane as a silane coupling agent. Here, we follow a novel processing route where the silica particles are generated inside the rubber matrix before compounding…

Soot containing carbon nano-onions was synthesized by traditional electric arc-discharge method with nickel powder as catalyst. After heating at 400°C for 2 h, the arc discharged soot was soaked in hydrochloric acid solution 8 h, and then ultrasonically dispersed into sodium cholate solution. Such obtained dispersion…

Cooperative self-assembly of block copolymers with (in)organic precursors effectively generates ordered nanoporous films, but the porosity is typically limited by the need for a continuous (in)organic phase. Here, a network of homogeneous fibrous nanostructures (≈20 nm diameter cylinders) having high porosity (≈ 60%)…

In this study, the reinforcement effect in sisal/polyester composites containing distinct reinforcement content was studied ranging from fragile to strong classification. The results indicate that the reduced storage modulus changes steadily, and the loss modulus and the tan δ peak are broader for composites containin…

It is a known rule that the efficiency of thermodynamic solar plants increases with the working temperature. At present, the main limit in temperature upscaling is the absorber capability to withstand high temperatures. The ideal solar absorber works at high temperatures and has both a low thermal emissivity and a hig…

We theoretically and numerically investigate metamaterials composed of coupled resonators with indirect coupling. First, we theoretically analyze a mechanical model of coupled resonators with indirect coupling. The theoretical analysis shows that an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like phenomenon with a…

CuZnO (CZO) films have received considerable attention, owing to their potential applications in semiconductor devices, including gas sensors or solar cells. However, exactly how these films affect the properties of CZO films by using different Cu sources has seldom been investigated. This study demonstrates the feasi…

We have determined the effect of shape on the charge transport characteristics of nanocrystals. Our study looked at the explicit determination of the electronic properties of faceted nanocrystals that essentially probe the limit of current computational reach, i.e., nanocrystals from 1.53 to 2.1 nm in diameter. These…

A new effective medium theory is introduced to describe the optical properties of a two-dimensional array of metallic nanoislands. This model which takes into account both the nanoisland orientation and their shape distribution is successfully used to interpret the ellipsometric measurements performed on gold nanoisla…

Conditions for the Newman-Kwart rearrangement of phenols into thiophenols were investigated in relation to the bulkiness of substituents at the 2 and 6 positions of the starting phenol derivative with an emphasis on eliminating side reactions. Thiophenols with different 2,6-disubstitution patterns (including hydrogen,…

A sparse-matrix screen for new crystallization conditions for the USP7 catalytic domain (USP7CD) led to the identification of a condition in which crystals grow reproducibly in 24-48 h. Variation of the halide metal, growth temperature and seed-stock concentration resulted in a shift in space group from P21 with two m…

Dense non-Brownian suspension flows of hard particles display mystifying properties: As the jamming threshold is approached, the viscosity diverges, as well as a length scale that can be identified from velocity correlations. To unravel the microscopic mechanism governing dissipation and its connection to the observed…

The approximation of a well mixed reactor is prevalent when it comes to the modeling of a crystallization process. Since temperature, concentration, and mass content vary due to inhomogeneous mixing, this approximation is a very loose one. The continuously operated seeded tubular crystallizer system developed in our g…

We investigate antiferro quadrupole orders in systems with non-Kramers doublet ground state with total angular momentum J=4 in T_d point group symmetry. We demonstrate that a pure O_2^2 antiferro quadrupole order is impossible in general crystalline-electric field potential and should be accompanied by ferro O_2^0 qua…
