Abstract Inelastic mean free path values are needed for quantitative XPS analysis of a range of important polymers and other organic materials. Measured reference data are limited, although some semi‐empirical equations to estimate IMFP are available. Existing estimation methods often require values for such quantitie…
New kinds of hybrid materials containing covalently bonded Eu3+ (Tb3+) bipyridine complexes in a silica network have been prepared and their luminescence properties reported.
Six novel octakis(dialkoxyphenoxy)phthalocyaninatocopper(II) complexes (abbreviated as [(CnO)2PhO]8PcCu (n = 9–14)) have been synthesized. It was found that these derivatives exhibit rich mesophases; Colh, Colr1, Colr2, Colr3, Coltet and Cub phases. These mesophases were characterized by microscopic observation, DSC m…
An intracellular poly[D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) depolymerase gene (phaZ) has been cloned from Ralstonia eutropha H16 by the shotgun method, sequenced, and characterized. Nucleotide sequence analysis of a 2.3-kbp DNA fragment revealed an open reading frame of 1,260 bp, encoding a protein of 419 amino acids with a p…
This article highlights and discusses our experience in the design, handling, and biological evaluation of long-circulating nanoparticles based on polyoxypropylene/polyoxyethylene copolymer nonionic surfactants. A frequently observed but ignored phenomenon following intravenous injection of such polymer-modified long-…
Dendritic peptides with a carboxylic acid at the focal point of the branched structure form a two-component supramolecular organogel with a linear aliphatic diamine in non-hydrogen-bonding solvents.
It is shown that composite Ru oxide-carbon based supercapacitors possess superior energy and power densities as compared to bare carbon. An electroless deposition process was used to synthesize the ruthenium oxide-carbon composites. Ru is dispersed on the carbon matrix as small particles. The effect of electrochemical…
An HV dielectric spectroscopy system has been developed for diagnostics of water tree deteriorated extruded medium voltage cables. The technique is based on the measurement of nonlinear dielectric response in the frequency domain. Today's commercially available systems are capable of resolving low loss and small varia…
The world around us, natural or man-made, is built and held together by solid materials. Understanding their behaviour is the task of solid mechanics, which is in turn applied to many areas, from earthquake mechanics to industry, construction to biomechanics. The variety of materials (metals, rocks, glasses, sand, fle…
A ruthenium oxide thin film electrode with an average specific capacitance of 650 F/g and good high rate capability was prepared by electrostatic spray deposition (ESD). This technique is a one-step process of preparing ruthenium oxide thin film electrode compared with a multistep sol-gel process and has features of l…
Single crystals of [Cu(en)2(OH2)]2[H2en][{Cu(en)2}P2CuW17O61]·5H2O 1, [Cu(en)2(OH2)]2[Cu(en)2]0.5[H2en]0.5[{Cu(en)2}P2CuW17O61]·5H2O 2 and [Co(dpa)2(OH2)2]2[Hdpa][PCoW11O39] 3 (dpa = di-2-pyridylamine) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR, TGA and single-crystal structural analysis. Compounds 1…
Monodispersed nanocrystalline CeO2 powders of size ca. 2.0 nm displaying quantum size effects have been prepared by microwave irradiation in an aqueous solution containing (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6, PEG and NaAc.
Based on a nonlinear optical polymer with a highly nonlinear chromophore (CLD) dispersed in an amorphous polycarbonate (APC), we have developed electrooptic (EO) polymer modulators operating at 1550-nm wavelength with low loss and good thermal stability. By incorporating polymer insulation layer, push-pull poling was…
Cytochrome c (horse heart) has been adsorbed onto a range of mesoporous silicate materials with the extent of adsorption dependent on the silicate pore size; adsorption and activity profiles of the adsorbed protein are reported.
It has become clear over the past two decades that, in order to create functional synthetic nanoscale structures, the chemist must exploit a fundamental understanding of the self-assembly of large-scale biological structures, which exist and function at and beyond the nanoscale. This mode of construction of nanoscale…
Kinetic measurements on preferential CO oxidation in a H2-rich atmosphere (PROX) over a bimetallic, carbon supported PtSn catalyst reveal a high activity and selectivity already at low temperatures (0–80°C), superior to a commercial Pt/Al2O3 system. The selectivity, though steadily decreasing with temperature, is rema…
The eggshell is an highly ordered structure deposited in the distal oviduct and composed of calcium carbonate and an organic matrix which is believed to influence its fabric. We have identified ovotransferrin as an 80 kDa matrix protein observed at high concentration in the uterine fluid at the initial stage of shell…
Al can be doped into the oxide ion conductor La9.33(SiO4)6O2 according to the formula La9.33 + x/3(SiO4)6 − x(AlO4)xO2 where 0 ≤ x ≤ 2; a conductivity enhancement of 1–2 orders of magnitude is observed for intermediate x values and illustrates the important role that La vacancies have in optimising the conductivity.
This is the first report on the biosynthesis of a hitherto unknown, sulfur-containing polyester and also the first report on a bacterial polymer containing sulfur in the backbone. The Gram-negative polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-accumulating bacterium Ralstonia eutropha synthesized a copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-m…
