The layered Zintl compound SrZnSb2 is investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to understand the low lattice thermal conductivity. The material displays out-of-phase boundaries with a spacing from 100 down to 2 nm. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the TEM-derived defect structure is…
A trefoil-like porphyrin trimer linked by triphenylamine (TPA-TPZn(3)) was synthesized. A three-electron oxidation of TPA-TPZn(3) forms a radical trication (TPA-TPZn(3)(3+)), in which each porphyrin ring undergoes a one-electron oxidation. The radical trication TPA-TPZn(3)(3+) spontaneously dimerizes to afford (TPA-TP…
Fluorine makes the difference! Bis(2,2'-biphenoxy)borates decorated with fluorine substituents have been synthesized and studied in supercapacitor test cells (see scheme). A clear trend towards higher electrochemical stability with the increase of the fluorine content has been observed. For a maximum performance, only…
A permanent increase of demand for polymers is closely connected with the issue of degradation. Nowadays aromatic amines or phenol derivatives are used to protect materials against ageing. In our studies, we want to propose the use of natural pro-ecological substances such as flavonoides to protect elastomers against…
We investigated the energetic, structural, and electronic properties of neutral O and Zn vacancies in ZnO nanowires with different sizes based on the first-principles calculations using density functional theory. We found that for ZnO nanowire with an O vacancy on the surface the formation energy is not sensitive to t…
The effect of low-pressure He plasma on properties of nanoporous organosilicate glasses low-k films with 24% and 33% open porosity is studied. The influence of ions, VUV radiation, and metastable atoms are extracted separately using a special experimental system designed for this purpose. The low-k films treated in He…
A closed-form algorithm for computing subsurface Green functions---the blocks of a material's Green function between the surface and the bulk---is presented, where we assume the system satisfies a common principal-layer approximation. By exploiting the block tridiagonal and nearly block Toeplitz structure of the Hamil…
A trihybrid clone of Paulownia fortunei x tormentosa x elongata was used for pulp and paper production using the soda-anthraquinone (AQ) process, comparing the results with those from Paulownia fortunei. An autohydrolysis process had been previously carried out on this raw material. A composite central experimental de…
BACKGROUND: Zein, the predominant protein in corn, has been extensively studied as an alternative packaging material in edible and biodegradable films. However, films made from 100% zein are brittle under normal conditions. The aim of this investigation was to improve the film-forming properties of zein by chemical ph…
Pb(Zr0.8Ti0.2)O3 (PZT80/20) thin films were deposited on the Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) substrates by RF magnetron sputtering. Mainly perovskite crystalline phase with highly (202)-preferred orientation, determined by x-ray diffraction, was formed in the lead zirconate titanate (PZT)(80/20) thin films. Polarization measu…
The use of ZnO bulk and especially nanolayer and nanowire structures for novel device applications has led to a renewal of interest in high-electron-density processes in ZnO, such as those occurring during lasing in ZnO. Using a pump-probe reflectometry technique, we investigate the ultrafast exciton dynamics of bulk…
Porous Si 3 N 4 /BN ceramics were prepared via nitridation of silicon powder, with Si and BN as starting powder, Y 2 O 3 as sintering additive. After nitridation and sintering at 1680°C, porous Si 3 N 4 /BN ceramics with a porosity of 47%–51% and a flexural strength of 170–90 MPa were obtained. Compared with pure poro…
We have prepared VO2 thin films epitaxially grown on TiO2(001) substrates with thickness systematically varied from 2.5 to 13 nm using a pulsed laser deposition method, and studied the transport property and electronic states of the films by means of resistivity and in situ synchrotron photoemission spectroscopy (SRPE…
Several measures of aromaticity including energetic, magnetic, and electron density criteria are employed to show how aromatic stabilization can explain the stability sequence of hydroporphyrins, ranging from porphin to octahydroporphin, and their preferred hydrogenation paths. The methods employed involve topological…
Obtaining single crystals for X-ray diffraction remains a major bottleneck in structural biology; when existing crystal growth methods fail to yield suitable crystals, often the target rather than the crystallization approach is reconsidered. Here we demonstrate that polymer-induced heteronucleation, a powerful techni…
A generalized hybrid nanofabrication approach is reported that combines top-down (deep-UV lithography) and bottom-up (controlled lateral epitaxial growth) fabrication techniques for developing nanostructured platforms. This technology allows the development of reproducible substrates with controlled sub-10-nm gaps bet…
Because of their extraordinary brightness and photostability, quantum dots (QDs) have tremendous potential for long-term, particle tracking in heterogeneous systems (e.g., living cells, microfluidic flow). However, one of their major limitations is blinking, an intermittent loss of fluorescence, characteristic of indi…
In this study, secondary sludge (SS) from a kraft paper mill was used as a source of biomass to recover protein and investigate its potential use as a wood adhesive. The process of protein recovery involved disruption of the floc structure in alkaline medium to disintegrate and release intercellular contents into the…
Abstract The flame‐retarded systems consisting of triphenylphosphate (TPP) and nano‐poly(phenylsilsesquioxane) spheres (nano‐PPSQ) for poly(methyl methacrylate) are reported. The flame‐retarded effects were studied by a cone calorimeter test and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that when a part of…
Abstract The crystallization behavior of polychloroprene rubber (CR) has been studied in this work. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was applied to characterize the crystallization behavior. And X‐ray diffraction was applied to determine the impact of crosslinking on the crystallization of CR. Synchrotron X‐ray…
