Nitrogen-rich carbon nitrides are produced as amorphous, bulk solids from the slow thermal decomposition of 2,4,6-triazido-1,3,5-triazine [(C 3 N 3 )(N 3 ) 3 ]. This energetic molecular azide is thermally unstable and readily decomposes at 185 °C in a high-pressure reactor to produce carbon nitride materials, e.g., C…
ASM Specialty Handbook: Nickel, Cobalt, and Their Alloys is a comprehensive guide to the compositions, properties, processing, performance, and applications of nickel, cobalt, and their alloys. It features essential information adapted from the multi-volume ASM Handbook series, as well as expanded corrosion coverage w…
New nanocomposites are currently being developed that have real industrial potential—loading a polymer with a small (ca. 5 %) amount of inorganic nanoparticles (the Figure shows a polypropylene–clay hybrid composite) is expected to give rise to significant improvement to the materials properties with only a minor incr…
Substances forming calamitic mesophases have been known for more than 100 years but only the recent, rapid advance in active matrix liquid crystal display (AM-LCD) technology helped these materials to achieve the crucial position in flat panel display technology they hold today. Due to their high contrast, large viewi…
Supercritical water can provide an excellent reaction environment for hydrothermal crystallization of metal oxide particles. Because of the drastic change of properties of water around the critical point, density, dielectric constant, and ionic product, the phase behavior for the supercritical water−light gas (O 2, H…
Fluorescence emission was investigated in a series of Ba2−xEuxSi5N8 compounds. Two maxima corresponding to the two crystallographic Eu2+ sites are observed. Excitation with intense laser light at 1.047 μm reveals strong fluorescence emission at ∼600 nm due to two-photon-excitation. In Ba1.89Eu0.11Si5N8 the long lastin…
Silk fibroin produced by the silkworm Bombyx mori consists of a heavy chain, a light chain, and a glycoprotein, P25. The heavy and light chains are linked by a disulfide bond, and P25 associates with disulfide-linked heavy and light chains by noncovalent interactions. Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay rev…
Titanium: A Technical Guide, Second Edition provides a review of the significant features of the metallurgy and application of titanium and its alloys. All technical aspects of the use of titanium are covered, with sufficient metals property data. The book begins with an introduction and then covers selection of titan…
The formation of extremely high aspect ratio CdSe nanorods (30:1), as well as arrow-, teardrop-, tetrapod-, and branched tetrapod-shaped nanocrystals of CdSe, has been achieved by growth of the nanoparticles in a mixture of hexylphosphonic acid and trioctylphosphine oxide. The most influential factors in shape control…
Polylactic acid is proving to be a viable alternative to petrochemical-based plastics for many applications. It is produced from renewable resources and is biodegradable, decomposing to give H2O, CO2, and humus, the black material in soil. In addition, it has unique physical properties that make it useful in diverse a…
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is similar to the transmission electron microscope (TEM) in that they both employ a beam of electrons directed at the specimen. This means that certain features, such as the electron gun, condenser lenses and vacuum system, are similar in both instruments. However, the ways in wh…

The time evolution of a phase-separated morphology in a binary polymer mixture involving a percolation-to-cluster transition (PCT) was investigated by a combined use of laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and light scattering (LS). We constructed three-dimensional images of phase-separating structures in the PCT…
Reductive amination of 6-deoxy-6-formyl-beta-cyclodextrin with 5-(p-aminophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin in the presence of an excess of sodium cyanoborohydride affords the hydrophilic cyclodextrin-porphyrin conjugate 3 in 23% yield. The structure of 3 was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy and mass spect…
Ketopantoate reductase (EC 1.1.1.169) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of alpha-ketopantoate to D-(-)-pantoate in the biosynthesis of pantothenate. The pH dependence of V and V/K for the E. coli enzyme suggests the involvement of a general acid/base in the catalytic mechanism. To identify residues involved in c…
The synthesis by arc-melting techniques, the single-crystal X-ray structure, and the theoretical analysis of Gd4B3C4 are reported. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 3.637(2) A, b = 3.674(2) A, c = 11.859(5) A, alpha = 93.34(5) degrees, beta = 96.77(5) degrees, gamma = 90.24(5) degrees, and Z = 1…
The effects of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) on type I collagen self-assembly and properties of reconstructed collagen fibrils from shark were investigated. Collagen self-assembly was accelerated with the addition of MTGase in dependence on that concentration. The relative amount of reconstructed collagen slight…
A novel and simple procedure named photocalcination has been developed for removing organic components from mesostructured organic−inorganic composite films. This procedure employs an excimer lamp radiating vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light of 172 nm in wavelength. Organic molecules are removed through two distinct photo…
The crystal structure and the magnetic properties of the compound [Cu(μ-oxalato-O,O‘)(H2O)(4-aminopyridine)2]n, the first transition metal extended structure that exhibits a bridging oxalate anion in a 1,1‘-cis-bidentate coordination mode, are reported.
