We studied the cutting performance of diamond-coated cemented carbide cutting tools pretreated using acid etching, Murakami reagent etching, interlayer addition, and boronization techniques. The Rockwell indentation test indicates that the best adhesion is obtained from the diamond-coated cutting tool pretreated using…
Films of nanocrystals such as Au, Ag and Pd, semiconducting sulphides such as CdS, ZnS and CoS, and oxides such as Fe2O3 and CuO have been prepared by employing reactions at liquid liquid (organic-aqueous) interfaces. In this method, a suitable organic derivative of the metal taken in the organic layer reacts at the i…
Most of the porphyrin-recognition chemistry we have investigated previously has centred on kinetically labile metal-ligand interactions, such as Z-N and Ru-N. Our interest in the broader scope of molecular recognition required a metal with the ability to specifically recognise non-nitrogen-based ligands, with a signif…
We simulate directional solidification using a phase-field model solved with adaptive mesh refinement. For small surface tension anisotropy directed at 45 degrees relative to the pulling direction we observe a crossover from a seaweed to a dendritic morphology as the thermal gradient is lowered, consistent with recent…
We investigate parameters associated with optical data storage in a variety of amorphous side-chain azobenzene-containing polyesters denoted as E1aX. The polyesters possess a common cyano-substituted azobenzene chromophore as a side chain, but differ in their main-chain polyester composition. Seventeen different polym…
Recent mode coupling theory (MCT) calculations show that if a short-range attractive interaction is added to the pure hard sphere system, one may observe a new type of glass originating from the clustering effect (the attractive glass) as a result of the attractive interaction. This is in addition to the known glass-f…
The 1,3(R):2,4(S)-dibenzylidene-D-sorbitol (DBS) molecule is a low molar mass organic gelator (LMOG) that is capable of hydrogen-bonding with itself. As a consequence, DBS molecules self-organize into nanofibrillar networks at relatively low concentrations in a wide variety of organic solvents and polymers. In this wo…
Large tetragonal hen egg-white (HEW) lysozyme crystals have been grown by a salt concentration-gradient method. The grown crystals, of thicknesses greater than 1.5 mm, were observed by means of X-ray topography using white-beam synchrotron radiation. Line contrasts clearly appeared on the Laue topographs. Extinction o…
Contrasts between beta relaxation in equilibrium viscous liquids and glasses are rationalized in terms of a double-well potential model with structure-dependent asymmetry, assuming structure is described by a single order parameter. The model is tested for tripropylene glycol where it accounts for the hysteresis of th…
Nanosize MCM-48 with relatively uniform size (ca. 120−150 nm) and shape (faceted octahedral) was synthesized in a mixed cationic−nonionic surfactant system. This material can retain its cubic structure even after calcination at 1000 °C in air for 2 h.
Trimeric perfluoro-ortho-phenylenemercury (1) constitutes one of the simplest trifunctional Lewis acidic hosts. In addition to cooperative effects arising from the proximity of the mercury(II) centers, the electron-withdrawing properties of the backbone and the accessibility of the electrophilic sites lead to the faci…
This study presents chemical syntheses and physical characterization of a new aliphatic poly(L-lactide-b-butylene succinate-b-L-lactide) triblock copolyester with soft and hard biodegradable building blocks. First, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) prepolymers terminated with hydroxyl functional groups were synthesized t…
The photochromic behavior of 2,2-di(4-fluorophenyl)-6-methoxy-2H-1-chromene has been investigated by 19F NMR spectroscopy. Photocoloration under UV irradiation at low temperature led to the formation of three interconverting photoisomers including two merocyanines and an unprecedented allenyl-phenol isomer. Photobleac…
Control over the interchromophore separation, their angular relationship, and the spatial overlap of their electronic clouds in several ZnP-C(60) dyads (ZnP=zinc porphyrin) is used to modulate the rates of intramolecular electron transfer. For the first time, a detailed analysis of the charge transfer absorption and e…
Synthetic hosts capable of binding porphyrins have been produced by a mixed-covalent-noncovalent imprinting process wherein a single binding site is created within cross-linked dendrimers. Two synthetic hosts were prepared, using as templates 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,5-di…
We present density functional and quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the stability and optical properties of semiconductor nanomaterials with reconstructed surfaces. We predict the relative stability of silicon nanostructures with reconstructed and unreconstructed surfaces, and we show that surface step geometries un…
Cationic water-soluble conjugated polymers with a non "rigid-rod" aspect ratio can be prepared by Suzuki coupling condensation polymerization of 2,7-dibromo-9,9-bis(6'-bromohexyl)fluorene and varying ratios of p- and m-phenyl diboronic acids, followed by reaction with trimethylamine. The resulting polymers are designa…
Polyelectrolyte (PE) (see Figure) and PE–nanoparticle hybrid nanotubes are prepared by the layer‐by‐layer deposition of oppositely charged species into the cylindrical pores of polycarbonate membrane templates. This method affords the preparation of compositionally complex tubes with nanometer‐level controllable tube…
A periodic mesoporous organosilica composed of interconnected three-ring [Si(CH2)]3 units built of three SiO2(CH2)2 tetrahedral subunits is reported. It represents the archetype of a previously unknown class of nanocomposite materials in which two bridging organic groups are bound to each silicon atom. It can be obtai…
Composite molecular nanoclusters of fullerene and porphyrin prepared in acetonitrile/toluene mixed solvent absorb light over the entire spectrum of visible light. Upon slow evaporation of the solvent on the copper grid, these mixed nanoclusters undergo close-packed stacking to produce either tubular- or square-shaped…
