Superhydrophobic surfaces with strong adhesion to water droplets are drawing great attention due to their unique applications. In this communication, we propose a method to construct such surfaces with considerably strong solid-water adhesion. A novel fluorinated polyimide (FPI), was electrospun into dented nano and/o…

We report the syntheses, electronic properties, and molecular structures of a series of polychalcogenido-bridged dinuclear uranium species. These complexes are supported by the sterically encumbering but highly flexible, single N-anchored tris(aryloxide) chelator (AdArO)3N3−. Reaction of an appropriate uranium precurs…

Solution plasma processing (SPP) has been performed on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in ammonia aqueous solution. The MWCNTs, which do not disperse in aqueous solution, uniformly dispersed after the SPP. Only 2 h was required to obtain 10 g of the dispersed MWCNTs, while 7 days and additional chemicals were re…

The physical upper limit of hydrogen uptake for powder and compressed pellet MIL-101 has been experimentally investigated. Maximum uptake in pellets at 20 K achieves 9.6 wt% and 42 g L−1. Moreover, cryo-adsorption of hydrogen on pellets compared to liquid H2 possesses a larger temperature window for operation without…

ABSTRACT We synthesized biobased poly(2,5‐furandimethylene succinate‐ co ‐butylene succinate) [P(FS‐ co ‐BS)] copolymers by polycondensation of 2,5‐bis(hydroxymethyl)furan, 1,4‐butanediol, and succinic acid. These copolymers could be crosslinked to form network polymers by means of a reversible Diels–Alder reaction wi…

Although there exists a vast literature on the dynamic comminution or fragmentation of rocks, concrete, metals, and ceramics, none of the known models suffices for macroscopic dynamic finite element analysis. This paper outlines the basic idea of the macroscopic model. Unlike static fracture, in which the driving forc…

One of the primary aims of the actinide community within nanoscience is to develop a good understanding similar to what is currently the case for stable elements. As a consequence, efficient, reliable and versatile synthesis techniques dedicated to the formation of new actinide-based nano-objects (e.g. nanocrystals) a…

Amorphous S-flurbiprofen was obtained by the melt quench/cooling method. Dielectric measurements performed in the isochronal mode, conventional and temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) studies showed a glass transition, recrystallization, and melting. The different parameters characterizing…

For the first time, flexible PVP/pyrene/APTS/rGO fluorescent nanonets were designed and synthesized via a one-step electrospinning method to detect representative subsaturated nitroaromatic explosive vapor. The functional fluorescent nanonets, which were highly stable in air, showed an 81% quenching efficiency towards…

The fields of structural biology and soft matter have independently sought out fundamental principles to rationalize protein crystallization. Yet the conceptual differences and the limited overlap between the two disciplines have thus far prevented a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon to emerge. We conduct…

We have demonstrated the fabrication of fluorine-free liquid marbles from halloysite nanotube. Halloysite is a naturally occurring inorganic nanotube that has a high aspect ratio, and the surface was modified with octadecyltrimethoxysilane. The surface-modified halloysite formed pincushion agglomerates on the surface…

Arrays of chemical vapor sensors based on graphene field effect transistors functionalized with single-stranded DNA have been demonstrated. Standard photolithographic processing was adapted for use on large-area graphene by including a metal protection layer, which protected the graphene from contamination and enabled…

Ultrafast charge-transfer (CT) dynamics has been demonstrated in CdS quantum dot (QD)–4′,5′-dibromofluorescein (DBF) composite materials, which form a strong CT complex in the ground state. Charge separation in the CdS–DBF composite was found to take place in three different pathways, by transferring the photoexcited…

Polyimide-based composite materials with a single-walled carbon nanotube as filler were studied by means of extensive fully-atomistic molecular-dynamics simulations. Polyimides (PI) were considered based on 1,3-bis-(3′,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)-benzene (dianhydride R) and various types of diamines: 4,4′-bis-(4′′-aminophenox…

The onset of cavitation is strongly enhanced by the presence of rough surfaces or impurities in the liquid. Despite decades of research, the way the geometry of these defects promote the nucleation of bubbles and its effect on the kinetics of the process remains largely unclear. We present here a comprehensive explana…

Often synthetic graphene requires transfer onto an arbitrary substrate prior to use because the substrate it was originally synthesized on is inappropriate for either electrical measurement or characterization. While a variety of routes have been developed they are substrate dependant and often involve the use of hars…
