Crystallization of the metastable polymorph of paracetamol has been shown to occur around the edge of an evaporating aqueous solution. Conditions at the edge of a meniscus during evaporation led to an increase in solution concentration that allowed the nucleation of metastable crystals. This form was then unable to tr…

Pristine (carboxylated) and aminated polypyrrole nanotubes were successfully fabricated using vapor deposition polymerization with a template. In particular, aminated polypyrrole nanotubes were readily synthesized by modifying the nanotube surface with open polyamine chains. Pristine and aminated polymer nanotubes wer…

A series of diatomite catalysts were treated and characterized. For the first time, the resulting materials were used in catalysis for the hydroxylation of phenol with H2O2 and showed very high hydroxylation activity due to the Fe species in the diatomite. The effect of HCl treatment, contents of catalysts and H2O2 we…

Abstract In this study, we investigated the relationships between the thermal properties versus maturity and fineness ( H ) of 80 selected cotton fiber samples. The instrument measurements for maturity and H were (1) micronaire as determined with a high‐volume instrument, (2) maturity ratio and H as determined with an…

Abstract The catalytic performance of a cavity‐containing [(porphyrin)Mn] in the epoxidation of alkenes is described. Inside the catalyst cavity, nitrogen‐containing axial ligands can be bound to the porphyrin metal with high association constants, resulting in strong activation of the catalyst in the presence of only…

Meeting point: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are produced by an equimolar reaction between C2H2 and CO2 (see scheme). CO2 can be introduced as a gas or a carbonate support of the metal particles. When CaCO3 is used, the growth of a nanotube stems from the triple-point junction, which corresponds to the area surrounding the…

We present high‐temperature electrical transport and thermoelectric power of K and/or La‐doped Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 ‐based ceramics. Temperature and doping dependence of electrical transport properties indicate that both K and La substitutions can increase electrical conductivity at a high temperature, which are mainly relat…

Carbon foams are hypothetical carbon allotropes that contain graphitelike ($s{p}^{2}$ carbon) segments, connected by $s{p}^{3}$ carbon atoms, resulting in porous structures. In this work the density-functional-based tight-binding method with periodic boundary conditions was employed to study the energetics, the stabil…

The properties of Cu$_{x}$TiSe$_{2}$ are studied by band structure calculation based on the density functional theory for supercells. The density-of-states (DOS) for $x$=0 has a sharply raising shoulder in the neighborhood of the Fermi energy, $E_F$, which can be favorable for spacial charge modulations. The Cu impuri…

The dependence of thermally induced spontaneous magnetization reversal on time-dependent cooling protocols was studied. Slower cooling and longer waiting close to the Nèel temperature of the antiferromagnet ($T_N$) enhances the magnetization reversal. Cycling the temperature around $T_N$ leads to a thermal training ef…
