Abstract The near-term and cost-effective production of solar hydrogen from inexpensive and readily available hydrogen containing compounds (HCCs) can boost the prospects of future hydrogen economy. In this paper, we assess the prospects of the solar-assisted conversion of HCCs into hydrogen using polyoxometalate (POM…

Strong steels suffer from embrittlement due to dissolved hydrogen, a phenomenon which can be mitigated by trapping the hydrogen at carbide particles, where it is rendered benign. The precipitation and coarsening of plate-like M 4 C 3 carbides, during the tempering of quaternary Fe–C–Mo–V martensitic steels, has been c…

A series of novel noncentrosymmetric borates, MM'4(BO3)3 (M = Na, M' = Ca; M = K, M' = Ca, Sr), have been successfully synthesized via a standard solid-state reaction. The crystal structures have been determined by the SDPD (structure determination from powder diffraction) method. They crystallize in the noncentrosymm…

In this paper, we investigate effects of vacancy defects on fracture of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube/aluminum composites. Our studies show that even a one-atom vacancy defect can dramatically reduce the failure stresses and strains of carbon nanotubes. Consequently, nanocomposites, in which vacancy-defected na…

Abstract Because of their biocompatibility and total biodegradability, poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and starch have attracted attention as promising raw materials for manufacture of single‐use plastic items and biomaterials. PHB/maize starch blends with starch contents in the range of 0–50 wt % were processed in an i…

Dimethacrylate-based networks were modified with well-defined organic−inorganic building blocks, i.e., polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS). POSS were incorporated in the polymer networks either as dangling chains or as cross-linking points. For this purpose, the POSS functionality was varied. The influence of…

Two new magnetic chain compounds, where the anionic [M(N3)2(HCOO)-]n chains with a 3-fold bridge of two end-on azido and one syn-syn formato ligands are isolated by the cations of [(CH3)2NH2]+, exhibit metamagnetism because of the strong intrachain ferromagnetic coupling versus the weak interchain antiferromagnetic co…

We have used lattice Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the molecular assembly of symmetric diblock copolymer melts within cylindrical nanochannels. We studied the effect that the surface field has on the copolymer morphology in three cylinders having different diameters. Upon varying the strength of the surface f…

The urea method is explored for a high-yield preparation of CuO−CeO 2 catalysts precursors. Solutions containing urea, Ce(NO 3 ) 3, and Cu(NO 3 ) 2 were aged at 363 K for 5 h, achieving a quantitative coprecipitation in the form of amorphous Cu(II)−Ce(III) basic carbonates, with Cu(II) contents up to 40%. The mixed pr…

In magnetic nanostructures one usually uses a magnetic field to commute between two resistance (R) states. A less common but technologically more interesting alternative to achieve R-switching is to use an electrical current, preferably of low intensity. Such Current Induced Switching (CIS) was recently observed in th…

We observe a thermally induced spontaneous magnetization reversal of epitaxial ferromagnet/antiferromagnet heterostructures under a constant applied magnetic field. Unlike any other magnetic system, the magnetization spontaneously reverses, aligning anti-parallel to an applied field with decreasing temperature. We sho…
