Bimetallic 15 nm Rh(1-x)Pd(x) nanoparticle catalysts of five different compositions and supported on Si wafers have been synthesized, characterized using TEM, SEM, and XPS, and studied in CO oxidation by O(2) in two pressure regimes: atmospheric pressure and 100-200 mTorr. The RhPd bimetallic nanocrystals exhibited si…
The recent advances on the effects of microstructural refinement and various nano-catalytic additives on the hydrogen storage properties of metal and complex hydrides obtained in the last few years in the allied laboratories at the University of Waterloo (Canada) and Military University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland)…
Abstract Adsorption has been proven to be the most efficient method for quickly lowering the concentration of dissolved dyes in an effluent. In this regard, activated carbon is the most widely used adsorbent for removal of dyes from aqueous solution. However, the high cost of production and regeneration make it unecon…
Highly porous polymeric materials are prepared by thiol–ene and thiol–yne mediated network formation using high internal phase emulsion templates. The efficiency of network formation is between 80 and 90% for all materials while the thiol–yne materials display enhanced strength and toughness due to their higher degree…
One of the restrictions in the potential use of gold markers for medical imaging/tracking of harder tumors is its size. We propose to use gold nanoparticles which, due to its small size, can be administered conveniently via intravenous injection. One of the factors that determine the clinical utility of nanoparticles…
The uniform mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCNs) with size below 200 nm and good water dispersibility were successfully synthesized via a combined hydrothermal synthesis and hard templating. The prepared MCNs served as effective carriers for camptothecin which efficiently inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cancer cells a…
We impose uniform electric fields both parallel and normal to 180^o ferroelectric domain walls in PbTiO_3 and obtain the equilibrium structures using the method of anharmonic lattice statics. In addition to Ti-centered and Pb-centered perfect domain walls, we also consider Ti-centered domain walls with oxygen vacancie…
The electrical, thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of the quenched, annealed and slowly cooled phases of the layer compound CuCrS2 have been reported between 15K to 300K. We also confirm the antiferromagnetic transition at 40K in them by our magnetic measurements between 2K and 300K. The crystal flakes show…
Epitaxial Growth of Superconducting Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 Thin Films on Technical Ion Beam Assisted Deposition MgO Substrates, Iida, Kazumasa, Hänisch, Jens, Trommler, Sascha, Matias, Vladimir, Haindl, Silvia, Kurth, Fritz, Pozo, Irene Lucas del, Hühne, Ruben, Kidszun, Martin, Engelmann, Jan, Schultz, Ludwig, Holzapfel, Be…
Active packaging is a relatively novel concept of packaging that changes the conditions of the packaged food to extend its shelf-life and improve its safety. In this study, antimicrobial effects of carboxymethyl cellulose based-edible film containing potassium sorbate as an antimicrobial agent were studied against Asp…
Introduction of freely rotatable tetraphenylethene (TPE) to conventional luminophors quenches their light emissions in the solutions but endows the resultant molecules (TPEArs) with aggregation-induced emission characteristics in the condensed phase due to the restriction of intramolecular rotation. High fluorescence…
Udimet 188 was subjected to thermomechanical processing (TMP) in an attempt to understand the effects of cold-rolling deformation on the microstructure and tensile-creep behavior. Commercially available sheet was cold rolled to varying amounts of deformation (between 5-35% reduction in sheet thickness) followed by a s…
The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been used to evaluate the behavior of alloys immersed in marine environment. This work presents the versatility of EIS technique to identify the formation of corrosion products and the different electrode processes than can be carried out on the interface metal-elec…
Abstract The influence of new inhibitor namely 1,3‐bis‐diethylamino‐propan‐2‐ol (DEAP) on the dezincification corrosion of 65‐35 brass in simulated atmospheric water was studied by potentiostatic current transient measurement, solution analysis and surface evaluation techniques. Potentiostatic current transient result…
Abstract Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) monolayers with different molecular weights at the air/water interface were investigated at three different temperatures. The monolayer characteristics of PMMA were studied in terms of surface pressure‐area per molecule (π‐A) isotherm and isobaric relaxation experiments. The r…
Functionalized oligo(phenyleneethynylene)s (OPEs) show potential as molecular wires for molecular electronics. A selection of OPEs with vertically disposed extended tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) units has been synthesized by a combination of metal-catalyzed cross-coupling and Wittig reactions. Two general synthetic routes…
Abstract Review: 57 refs.
A new type of ground treatment method is developed to improve the engineering properties of coarse-grained soils. By using biochemical concepts derived from recent discoveries into how organisms produce silicified skeletons, a silicification process is reported that offers environmental and physical advantages over so…
MltE from Escherichia coli (193 amino acids, 21,380 Da) is a lytic transglycosylase that initiates the first step of cell-wall recycling. This enzyme is responsible for the cleavage of the cell-wall peptidoglycan at the β-1,4-glycosidic bond between the N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid units. At the end th…
We show that thin horizontal arrays of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) suspended above the channel of silicon MOSFETs can be used as vibrating gate electrodes. This new class of nano-electromechanical system (NEMS) combines the unique mechanical and electronic properties of SWNTs with an integrated silicon-based…
