Outside mesoporous, inside macroporous. Mesoporous titania samples with an internal macroporous structure (see Figure) are reported to have been synthesized by a one‐step templating process. The materials have a thick shell and a sponge‐like macrostructured core with a uniform pore gradient. The synthesis conditions,…

Lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate 0.67Pb (Mg(1/3)Nb(2/3))O3-0.33PbTiO3 (PMN-0.33PT, abbreviated as PMN-PT) single crystals were used to fabricate PMN-PT/epoxy 1-3 composites with different volume fractions of PMN-PT ranging from 0.4 to 0.8. The electromechanical properties of the 1-3 composites were determined by t…

The seven conserved enzymatic domains required for tryptophan (Trp) biosynthesis are encoded in seven genetic regions that are organized differently (whole-pathway operons, multiple partial-pathway operons, and dispersed genes) in prokaryotes. A comparative bioinformatics evaluation of the conservation and organizatio…

Intertidal sediments are important areas that separate the land from the sea and form natural coastal defenses. They are known as highly productive ecosystems, fueling the coastal food web. It is also conceived that microphytobenthos contribute to the stability of intertidal sediments by increasing the erosion thresho…

An Al-7.6 at.% Mg alloy was ball milled in liquid N2 for 8 h and its microstructures were investigated using transmission electron microscopy. Electron diffraction confirmed that the resulting powder is a supersaturated Al-Mg solid solution with an fcc structure. Three typical nanostructures with different grain-size…

President Bush, during his State of the Union Address this year, pronounced a $1.2 billion jump-start to the hydrogen economy. The move would represent not only freedom from US-dependence on foreign oil, which is a national security issue, but also a necessary and gargantuan step toward improving the environment by re…

A special room‐temperature ionic liquid , 1‐hexadecyl‐3‐methyl‐imidazolium chloride, is used as a template to prepare monolithic super‐microporous silica with lamellar order (monolith in Figure) via a nanocasting technique. The silica walls of the synthesized product are arranged parallel to each other, displaying a r…

Abstract The focus of this research was to investigate the effect of thermal degradation upon the mechanical properties of a natural rubber compound. We examined both the quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties of a natural rubber vulcanizate which had been subjected to isothermal, anaerobic aging. The thermal…

We performed a series of dynamic hysteresis measurements on Finemet films with composition Fe/sub 73.5/Cu/sub 1/Nb/sub 3/Si/sub 13.5/B/sub 9/, using both the longitudinal magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and the inductive fluxometric method. The MOKE dynamic hysteresis loops show a more marked variability with the f…

We found that the grain size of V2O5 thin films produced by pulsed laser ablation strongly influences their optical characteristics. The decrease in the optical band gap associated with a change in spectral transmittance of the pulsed laser deposited V2O5 films are mainly due to structure evolution from amorphous to c…

ABSTRACT: Internal and sensory quality of eggs coated with chitosan was evaluated during a 5‐wk storage at 25 °C. Three chitosans with high (HMw, 1100 KDa), medium (MMw, 746 KDa), and low (LMw, 470 KDa) molecular weight were used to prepare coating solutions. Coating with LMw chitosan was more effective in preventing…

Nickel bulk, the low index surfaces and the adsorbate systems Ni(111) (root 3 x root3)-Cl, and Ni(111)(2 x 2)-K are studied with gradient corrected density functional calculations. It is demonstrated that an approach based on Gaussian type orbitals is capable of describing these systems. The preferred adsorption sites…

Abstract Thin films of block copolymers have been used as templates and scaffolds for the fabrication of arrays of nanostructured materials. In general, a chemical modification of the film or the removal of one of the components by photodegradative methods is required to produce a nanoporous film that serves as a temp…

The literature on protective tribological coatings often focuses on correlations with measurable coating properties (composition, structure, and mechanical) but ignores the mechanisms of friction and wear. In fact, long-lived coatings often survive because of third bodies that form inside the moving contact. This arti…

We have used dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) to simulate surfactant monolayers on the interface between oil and water. With a simple surfactant model, we investigate how variations in size and structure of surfactants influence their ability to reduce the interfacial tension. In particular, we studied the effect o…

Metal deposition of Zr an a Si(001) surface has been studied by state-of-the-art electronic structure calculations. The energy per Zr adatom as a function of the coverage shows, that Zr forms silicide islands even at low coverages. Adsorbed Zr is thermodynamically unstable against the formation of bulk silicide ZrSi2.…
