Catfehodic electrodeposition of zinc oxide is demonstrated using dissolved hydrogen peroxide as the oxygen precursor. Unlike molecular oxygen, is a very soluble compound in water and can consequently be used at high concentrations allowing high deposition rates. Unlike nitrate ions, the reduction reaction does not giv…
The energetic and structural properties of neutral magnesium clusters Mgn (n = 2 to 22 and selected clusters up to 309) are investigated by means of density functional theory. The small clusters of sizes n = 4, 10 and 20 show enhanced stability, which is in line with the predictions of the shell model. Larger clusters…
Partial discharge (PD) monitoring is an effective online predictive maintenance test for medium-voltage (MV) motors, MV generators, and MV switchgear at 4160 V and above, as well as other electrical distribution equipment. The benefits of online testing allow for equipment analysis and diagnostics during normal produc…
Time resolved luminescence spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis have been used to probe the energy transfer processes in the europium, neodymium and terbium complexes of ligand, 1. The ligand, chosen because of the high kinetic stability of lanthanide complexes derived from amide-functionalised azamacrocycles, bear…
Shape memory alloys recover deformations induced at lower temperatures after being heated above a transformation temperature; restraint of this shape recovery generates relatively large stresses. These stresses are used to transfer corrective forces to structural systems for strengthening and repair. For this purpose,…
Semi-crystalline fluorinated polymers represent an interesting class of high-performing, melt-processible materials. Structure–properties relationships are discussed at a molecular level starting from the atomic properties of the fluorine atom. Their synthesis and microstructure are reported in detail. Further focus i…
The oxidation behavior of dense TiB 2 specimens was investigated. Hot‐pressed TiB 2 with 2.5 wt% Si 3 N 4 as a sintering aid was exposed to air at temperatures between 800° and 1200°C for up to 10 h. The TiB 2 exhibited two distinct oxidation behaviors depending on the temperature. At temperatures below 1000°C, parabo…
A combined process of electropolishing, focused-ion-beam lithography, and controlled anodization is used to fabricate anodic alumina films with ordered nanochannels. The ion beam is used to create a hexagonally close-packed lattice of concaves on a polished aluminum surface and the concaves act as pinning points for g…
A tape casting method for fabricating solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that are active for the direct oxidation of dry hydrocarbons is presented. The method relies on the inclusion of pyrolyzable pore formers in the anode green tape in order to produce a porous yttria-stabilized zirconia anode matrix. Wet impregnation w…
The size and size-distribution of CdS nanocrystallites is controlled by the microwave-assisted reaction of cadmium acetate with thiourea in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The absorption onset of the CdS nanocrystallites shifts to longer wavelength with increasing irradiation time, indicating particle size growth under p…
High porosity carbons prepared from mesophase pitch with KOH etching to different extents were used to fabricate electrodes for electric double-layer capacitors. Nitrogen adsorption was used to characterize the porous structure of the carbon electrodes. The performance of the capacitors in 1 was investigated with volt…
A series of long chain (C10, C12, C15 and C18) 3,6-dialkylated phthalonitriles, prepared in 4 steps from thiophene, have been converted into the title phthalocyanines as metal-free and zinc derivatives. The symmetric macrocycles were characterised using 1H NMR, MALDI-TOF ms and solution phase electronic (UV-VIS) spect…
Basic facts are presented of the absorption of hydrogen gas by metals and the diffusion of hydrogen in metals. Specifically considered are crystalline metals without defects and lattice disorder (pure metals), low hydrogen concentrations and the possibility of high hydrogen gas pressures. The first introductory topic…

Four novel macromolecular MRI contrast agents, all of which had the same chemical composition but different molecular weights, were prepared using generation-3, -4, -5, and -6 polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers conjugated with a bifunctional diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid derivative to change the blood retention, t…
The use of porous matrices to enable damage tolerance in ceramic composites has emerged as a new paradigm in high performance materials. This paradigm obviates the need for fiber coatings for the purpose of crack deflection, thereby providing opportunities for lower cost manufacturing relative to that of conventional…
Confocal Raman microspectrometry has been applied to the in situ study of an electrical double-layer capacitor involving activated carbon cloth electrodes and an organic electrolyte. The Raman spectra of the carbon electrodes have been recorded during the charge and discharge. The intensity variations of the G and D b…
The thermal stability and spectroscopic properties of Er 2 O 3 ‐doped TeO 2 –GeO 2 –ZnO–Na 2 O–Y 2 O 3 glasses for 1.5 μm fiber amplifiers were investigated. The thermal stability of the 75TeO 2 ·20ZnO· 5Na 2 O glass was improved by introducing GeO 2 and Y 2 O 3 . The radiative transition and the nonradiative transiti…
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA)-degrading Amycolatopsis sp. strains K104-1 and K104-2 were isolated by screening 300 soil samples for the ability to form clear zones on the PLA-emulsified mineral agar plates. Both of the strains assimilated >90% of emulsified 0.1% (wt/vol) PLA within 8 days under aerobic conditions. A novel…
In this paper, we show that dilute maleic acid, a dicarboxylic acid, hydrolyzes cellobiose, the repeat unit of cellulose, and the microcrystalline cellulose Avicel as effectively as dilute sulfuric acid but with minimal glucose degradation. Maleic acid, superior to other carboxylic acids reported in this paper, gives…
