One-dimensional SiC nanotubes with small diameter without metallic catalysts were prepared under supercritically hydrothermal conditions. The SiC nanotubes were characterized by x-ray diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectrum, selected area electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution tr…
The most abundant silicates formed under the Earth’s ‘normal’ surface conditions, i.e. clay minerals, are always of small grain size. Under the same conditions, other mineral species such as carbonates, sulphates and oxides may form much bigger crystals. The reason why phyllosilicates formed in soils or in weathered r…
Bench‐scale tests were performed to study an electrolytic reduction process that converts metal oxides in spent nuclear fuel to metal. Crushed spent oxide fuel was loaded into a permeable stainless steel basket and submerged in a molten salt electrolyte of LiCl–1 wt% Li2O at 650°C. An electrical current was passed thr…
We investigated the dynamics of a series of room temperature ionic liquids based on the same 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium cation and different anions by means of broadband dielectric spectroscopy covering 15 decades in frequency $({10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}\text{--}{10}^{9}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{Hz})$, and in…
Recently, much attention has been paid to double‐walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs). This article highlights a recent advance in the fabrication of high‐purity DWNT buckypaper through a combination of a catalytic chemical vapor deposition and an optimized two‐step purification process. The DWNTs have small diameters (bel…
Electron beam irradiation and the self-consistent charge transport in bulk insulating samples are described by means of a new flight-drift model and an iterative computer simulation. Ballistic secondary electron and hole transport is followed by electron and hole drifts, their possible recombination and/or trapping in…
We report a highly selective 2 + 2 cycloaddition of 2-cyclohexenone in the presence of self-assembled bisurea macrocycles that yields the head-to-tail photodimer. The reaction proceeds with high conversion and with decreased incidence of secondary photorearrangement. Furthermore, the product can be extracted from the…
The interactions of various polypeptides with individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs), both multiwall (MW) and single wall (SW), were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). While adhesion forces arising from electrostatic attraction interactions between the protonated amine groups of polylysine and carboxylic group…
The chemical state of Pd at the surfaces of two sizes of Pd powders and ceria-supported Pd during low-temperature CO oxidation has been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). During oxidation in O(2), metallic Pd powder is converted into PdO, and the thickness of the PdO layer increases with increasing…
We have synthesized a new class of highly efficient nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores based on the novel tricyanopyrroline (TCP) electron acceptor. Molecular linear and nonlinear optical properties of the prototypical chromophores were measured and calculated to understand structure−property relationships. One such…
Abstract Despite the availability of surgical and non‐surgical techniques, the repair of articular cartilage lesions remains a current clinical problem. Especially for the treatment of large osteochondral cartilage defects, the replacement of the subchondral bone plate is a crucial step for optimal cartilage repair. H…
In this review, we introduce the production methods and applications of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are now attracting a broad range of scientists and industries due to their fascinating physical and chemical properties. Focusing on the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, we will briefly review the history…
We report the synthesis of single-crystalline GeTe nanowires (NWs) and nanohelices (NHs) using a vapor transport method assisted by metal catalysts. The NWs have typical diameters of 65 +/- 20 nm and lengths reaching up to 50 mum, while NHs have an average helix diameter of 135 +/- 30 nm, with widely varying pitches.…
This paper presents the effect of different catalysts on the decomposition of benzene and toluene using flow-type plasma-driven catalyst (PDC) system. Three representative materials of titanium dioxide, two types of gamma-alumina and two zeolites were tested. Several types of metal catalysts (Ag, Ni, Pt, Pd) and their…
Bacteria-mediated changes in the oxidation state of iron in soil clay minerals play an important role in determining the chemical and physical properties of soils and sediments. As structural Fe(III) in the octahedral sheet of smectites is reduced to Fe(II) by bacteria, specific surface area decreases, cation exchange…
Abstract Carbon nanotubes are a new form of completely artificial crystalline carbon, which have never been found as a natural form. These fascinating hollow cylinders can be considered as prototypes of one‐dimensional quantum wires, exhibit peculiar chemical‐physical properties very different from those of other C‐ba…
The reaction of the tetranuclear rare earth metal polyhydrido complexes {Cp'Ln(mu-H)2}4(THF) (Cp' = C5Me4SiMe3, Ln = Y (1a), Lu (1b)) with carbon monoxide (1 atm) yielded ethylene and the corresponding tetraoxo cubane complexes (Cp'Ln)4(mu3-O)4 (Ln = Y (5a), Lu (5b)). Stepwise formation of some key reaction intermedia…
Abstract Ferromagnetic‐filled carbon nanotubes are new nanostructured materials with many possible applications. They can be synthesized using the thermal decomposition of metallocenes of the iron triad. Two different methods (solid and liquid source CVD) are suitable for producing, at very high filling rates, filled…

The book contains high-quality up-to-date scientifi…
A systematic study of the equilibrium chain exchange kinetics of a tunable model system for starlike polymeric micelles is presented. The micelles are formed by well-defined highly asymmetrical poly(ethylene−propylene)−poly(ethylene oxide) (PEP − PEO) diblock copolymers. Mixtures of N, N -dimethylformamide (DMF) and w…
