The development of efficient multicomponent polymerization (MCP) to prepare heteroatom-rich macromolecules, especially those with complicated structures and multifunctionality, is gathering increasing research interest from chemists. In this work, we report a facile one-pot three-component polymerization method to pre…
To avoid reflectivity losses in ITER's optical diagnostic systems, on-site cleaning of metallic first mirrors via plasma sputtering is foreseen to remove deposit build-ups migrating from the main wall. In this work, the influence of aluminium and tungsten deposits on the reflectivity of molybdenum mirrors as well as t…
Composite thermoplastic elastomers (CTPEs) of magnetic copolymer-grafted nanoparticles (magnetite, Fe3O4) were synthesized and characterized to generate magnetic CTPEs, which combined the magnetic property of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and the thermoplastic elasticity of the grafted amorphous polymer matrix. Fe3O4 nanopartic…
NaGdF 4 nanocrystals of the hexagonal β-phase can be prepared with very narrow size distribution from small particles of the cubic α-phase of NaGdF 4, but until now, this method does not allow to control the final particle size. Here we show that the size of β-NaGdF 4 particles can be varied between 4 nm and more than…
We report the visible-light photocatalytic properties of a composite system consisting of silver quantum clusters [Ag9 (H2 MSA)7 ] (H2 MSA=mercaptosuccinic acid) embedded on graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (AgQCs-GCN). The composites were prepared through a simple chemical route; their structural, chemical, morpho…
Micro/mesoporous SiOC bulk ceramics with the highest surface area and the narrowest pore size distribution were prepared by water‐assisted pyrolysis of polysiloxane in argon atmosphere at controlled temperatures (1100°C–1400°C) followed by etching in hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. Their pyrolysis behaviors, phase co…
A mononuclear iron(II) complex has been isolated in two polymorphs. Polymorph 1b remains high-spin over all temperatures, whereas polymorph 1a undergoes a cooperative two-step spin crossover accompanied by symmetry breaking, showing an ordered 2:1 high-spin-low-spin intermediate phase.
The centrosymmetric two-dimensional material bilayer graphene (BLG) does not show dipole-allowed second-harmonic generation (SHG) in its pristine form. However, the symmetry can be broken by applying an electric field perpendicular to the layer. Here, we present a theoretical study of SHG from biased BLG. We show that…
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations and contact angle measurements on graphite showing that this surface is indeed intrinsically mildly hydrophilic contrary to the common belief. Hydrocarbon contamination, known to be the source for the usually observed hydrophobic property of graphite, also affects…
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) were stabilized in water using the amino acid l-cysteine. A transparent dispersion was obtained with an agglomerate size on the level of the primary particles. The dispersion was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), pH dependent zeta potential measurements, scanning tra…
The preparation of Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Zr 0.1 Ti 0.9 O 3 (BCZT) powders by wet chemical methods has been investigated, and the powders used to explore relationships between the microstructure and piezoelectric properties ( d 33 coefficient) of sintered BCZT ceramics. Sol–gel synthesis has been shown to be a successful met…
The controlled arraying of DNA strands on adaptive polymeric platforms remains a challenge. Here, the noncovalent synthesis of DNA-grafted supramolecular polymers from short chimeric oligomers is presented. The oligomers are composed of an oligopyrenotide strand attached to the 5'-end of an oligodeoxynucleotide. The s…
Sintering mechanisms and kinetics were investigated for ZrB 2 ceramics produced using reaction hot pressing. Specimens were sintered at temperatures ranging from 1800°C to 2100°C for times up to 120 min. ZrB 2 was the primary phase, although trace amounts of ZrO 2 and C were also detected. Below 2000°C, the densificat…
The Parallel Robotics Inspired Goniometer (PRIGo) is a novel compact and high-precision goniometer providing an alternative to (mini-)kappa, traditional three-circle goniometers and Eulerian cradles used for sample reorientation in macromolecular crystallography. Based on a combination of serial and parallel kinematic…
The fidelity – that is, the error, precision and accuracy – of the crystallographic orientations and disorientations obtained by the classical two-dimensional Hough-transform-based analysis of electron backscatter diffraction patterns (EBSPs) is studied. Using EBSPs simulated based on the dynamical electron diffractio…
Abstract Precise control of the self‐assembly of selected components within complex mixtures is a challenging goal whose realization is important for fabricating novel nanomaterials. Herein we show that by decorating the surfaces of metallic nanoparticles with differently substituted azobenzenes, it is possible to mod…
Since their discovery in 1977, the evolution of conducting polymers has revolutionized modern science and technology. These polymers enjoy a special status in the area of materials science yet they are not as popular among young readers or common people when compared to other materials like metals, paper, plastics, ru…
MgO:Fe(3+) (0.1-5 mol%) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via eco-friendly, inexpensive and simple low temperature solution combustion route using Aloe vera gel as fuel. The final products were characterized by SEM, TEM and HRTEM. PXRD data and Rietveld analysis revealed the formation of cubic system. The influence…
The only types of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) that have been explored for use in nerve regeneration are poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB), and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyhexanoate) (P(3HB‐co‐3HHx)). However, nerve regeneration induced by these PHAs is inferior to that of autologous nerve grafting. The aim of th…
Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural protein, which is derived from the Bombyx mori silkworm. SF based porous materials are extensively investigated for biomedical applications, due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this work, CO2 assisted acidification is used to synthesize SF hydrogels that are subsequent…
