A sequential self-repetitive reaction (SSRR) based on carbodiimide (CDI) chemistry was utilized for preparing a high-yield wholly aromatic polyimide. The polyimide was synthesized with 4,4′-methylene-diphenylisocyanate (MDI) and a di(acid-ester) compound which was derived from the ring-opening reaction of 3,3′,4,4′-ox…

Sodium metaborate (NaBO 2 ) is the hydrolysate of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) for hydrogen production. Trimethyl borate (B(OCH 3 ) 3 ), the major reactant for producing sodium borohydride via the Brown−Schlesinger process, is successfully regenerated from sodium metaborate (NaBO 2 ) via a sequential process including…

Abstract By kinetically controlling a biomimetic reduction in a quasi‐biological system (an aqueous solution containing electrolyte, peptide, and coenzyme), water‐soluble, glutathione‐capped Au clusters with a mean diameter of 1.3 nm are successfully synthesized via a new route. Opportunities that facilitate the contr…

The effects of complexation--by bidentate nitrogen-containing ligands such as pyrazine and 4,4'-bipyridine commonly used for porphyrin self-assembly--on the photophysics of the model metalloporphyrin, ZnTPP, are reported. Ligation to form the 5-coordinate species introduces an intramolecular charge transfer (ITC) stat…

It is confirmed that a layer of vacuum-evaporated carbon on the surface of a preoriented ultrathin polymer film can lead to an oriented recrystallization of the polymer film. This has been attributed to a strong fixing effect of vacuum-evaporated carbon layer on the film surface of the polymer. To study the origin of…

The dry sliding wear of a medium carbon steel with different microstructures was measured under the normal load range of 50–150 N at 400°C by a pin-on-disc high-temperature wear setup. The wear behavior and wear mechanism were systematically studied; in particular, the characteristics of extrusive wear and the transit…

Abstract The LDA + U approach can be used essentially as a shift potential to open up the band gap of a semiconductor. This approach was previously applied to the oxygen vacancy in ZnO by Paudel and Lambrecht (PL) [Phys. Rev. B 77 , 205202 (2008)]. Here, we review the results of that approach and introduce additional…

In this work, we explore simultaneous designs of materials selection and structural optimization. As the material selection turns out to be a discrete process that finds the optimal distribution of materials over the design domain, it cannot be performed with common gradient-based optimization methods. In this paper,…
