Detonation-synthesized nanodiamonds (5 nm in diamenter, containing 10% O as defects) decompose violently when irradiated by pulsed Nd:YAG laser photons at 1064 nm. The irradiation shatters the diamond lattice via multiphoton excitation, yielding CO and CO2 in the gas phase and graphitic spheroidal nanoparticles on the…

Polyaniline (PANI) was doped with p-phenolsulfonic acid (PSA) or 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA). The PANI salts were blended with poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), poly(N-methyl-N-vinylacetamide), poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide), or poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) by solution casting from dimethyl sulfoxide. Blends containing up to 5…

Three generations of dendrimers with a fluorescent core were synthesized by attaching dendrons of the Fréchet type to a dihydropyrrolopyrroledione (DPP) molecule. Samples were prepared by spin-coating a toluene solution containing 2 × 10 -9 M of the dendrimers and 3 mg/mL polystyrene (MW 45 000) on a glass cover slip.…

The mechanical properties of recycled low-density polyethylene/wood flour (LDPE/WF) composites are improved when a maleated triblock copolymer styrene–ethylene/butylene–styrene (SEBS–MA) is added as a compatibilizer. The composites' tensile strength reached a maximum level with 4 wt % SEBS–MA content. The compatibiliz…

Strontium clusters of size 2 to 20 atoms have been studied within the local density approximation using the ab-initio molecular dynamics method with a plane wave basis in which the s and p electron wavefunctions are well represented. The resulting low lying isomers are optimized using a full-potential linear muffin ti…

A new building block is constructed with one pyridine and two kinetically inert complexed Pd(II) ions, for the controlled assembly of metallodendrimers following either a convergent or a divergent route. The double pincer ligand 8 was cyclopalladated with Pd[CH 3 CN] 4 (BF 4 ) 2 and subsequently converted into the neu…

The conductance of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) was found to be quantized. The experimental method involved measuring the conductance of nanotubes by replacing the tip of a scanning probe microscope with a nanotube fiber, which could be lowered into a liquid metal to establish a gentle electrical contact with…

AgBr microcrystals that have been treated with reducing agents to form small silver clusters on their surface have been examined with low-temperature optical and optically detected magnetic resonance methods. These investigations have indicated that these treatments produce two closely related Ag clusters that are spe…

The chemical processes involved in the reactions between novolac resins, furfuryl alcohol (FA), and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) have been studied by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. A highly cross-linked homogeneous network which incorporates both novolac and furan entities is formed. The initial reaction below 90 °C i…

A thin plate or slab, prepared so that opposite faces have different surface stresses, will bend as a result of the stress difference. We have developed a classical molecular dynamics (MD) formulation where (similar in spirit to constant-pressure MD) the curvature of the slab enters as an additional dynamical degree o…

A tight-band model is employed for the e2g-orbitals in manganites.It is shown that a large intraatomic Hund's coupling, JH and the resulting double-exchange mechanism lead to antiferromagnetic ordering along one of the cubic axis stabilized by the cooperative JT effect which further decreases the band energy of electr…
