Microstructural evolution taking place during equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was studied in an as-cast 0.16%Zr modified 7475 aluminum alloy at a temperature of 673 K. The structural changes are characterized by development of deformation bands due to large strain inhomogeneity occurring through the ECAP die. Re…
The preparation and structural characterization of a giant “tetrapod”-shaped inorganic molecule, [(α-1,2,3-P2W15Ti3O60.5)4Cl]37− ,1a (abbreviated to {TiO6}12; FW ∼15700), consisting of four tri-TiIV-1,2,3-substituted α-Dawson substructures and one encapsulated Cl− ion, are described. A water-soluble, all-inorganic com…
Hierarchically laminated calcium phosphate was produced through Liesegang periodic precipitation in a gel matrix of poly(acrylic acid) containing phosphate anions by diffusion of calcium cations.
Lewis acid/Lewis base (electron acceptor/electron donor) interactions are important in the breakdown of oxide films on aluminum by chloride ions and in the adhesion of organic polymers onto oxide-covered aluminum surfaces. This paper considers the pitting of aluminum by (a Lewis base) in terms of the acid-base nature…
Despite the great potential for mesostructured transition metal oxides to exhibit interesting properties, strategies for synthesising these materials are much less developed than is the case for the corresponding silicates and aluminosilicates, despite important pioneering work. Here, following such pioneering work, w…
The bifunctional allosteric enzyme HPr kinase/phosphatase (HPrK/P) from Bacillus subtilis is a key enzyme in the main mechanism of carbon catabolite repression/activation (i.e. a means for the bacteria to adapt rapidly to environmental changes in carbon sources). In this regulation system, the enzyme can phosphorylate…
In ferromagnetic alloys with shape memory large reversible strains can be obtained by rearranging the martensitic domain structure by a magnetic field.Magnetization through displacement of domain walls is possible in the presence of high magnetocrystalline anisotropy, when martensitic structure rearrangement is energe…
The rate of evaporation of volatile oils from oil-in-water emulsions can be strongly retarded by using a polymeric emulsion stabiliser instead of a low molar mass surfactant.
A Eu3+-doped-yttria–silica nanocomposite was synthesized through a deposition–precipitation technique. Yttria nanocrystalline particles with a mean size of 12 nm, dispersed in an amorphous silica matrix, were evidenced by XRD and TEM in a sample treated at 900 °C. The nanoparticles are coated with an amorphous layer v…
A novel, high Tg azobenzene-based amorphous molecular material, spiro-ADA, was designed and synthesized via a palladium catalyzed amination reaction. The introduction of bulky spiro linked bifluorene with the non-planar structure of triphenylamine of spiro-ADA prevented crystallization of the molecules and led to good…
A field emission vacuum switch using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes grown by a direct current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition is reported. Cathodes with optimized field emission properties were evaluated in diode configuration as a test vehicle for the construction of a vacuum power three terminal triod…
The eggshell is a highly ordered structure resulting from the deposition of calcium carbonate and an organic matrix from the acellular uterine fluid. Characterization of the individual matrix components is necessary to determine their influence upon calcite crystal shape, size, and orientation during eggshell calcific…
The microstructures of magnesium AZ31 are examined following hot compression testing and annealing. The grain size, fraction dynamically recrystallized and, in a couple of cases, the crystallographic texture are reported. The progress of dynamic recrystallization and the recrystallized grain size were sensitive to pro…
Animals carry stem cells throughout their entire life, from embryogenesis to senescence. Their function during development and adulthood consists basically of forming and sustaining functional tissues while maintaining a small self-renewing population. They reside in a complex three-dimensional environment consisting…
Abstract The influence of different confinements active during crystallization within polybutadiene‐ block ‐polyisoprene‐ block ‐poly(ethylene oxide) (PB‐ b ‐PI‐ b ‐PEO) and the corresponding hydrogenated polyethylene‐ block ‐poly(ethylene‐ alt ‐propylene)‐ block ‐poly(ethylene oxide) (PE‐ b ‐PEP‐ b ‐PEO) triblock cop…
The stability of stored NOx under air, lean propene–air mixtures and stoichiometric air–propene mixtures has been studied for Pt/Ba/Al2O3 catalysts under temperature programmed and constant λ conditions to simulate, with a simplified gas composition, the conditions experienced by a NOx storage and reduction catalyst d…
Ten mol% Sm2O3-doped CeO2 solid-solution (20SDC) powders have been synthesized via carbonate coprecipitation using ammonium hydrogen carbonate (AHC) and urea as the precipitants, respectively. Characterizations were achieved by elemental analysis, X-ray diffractometry, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry, a…
Molecular structure of [Cu(dtbp)2(phen)(OH2)] (dtbp-H = di-tert-butylphosphate, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), determined at 293, 203 and 93 K, provides useful snap-shots of O-H bond activation of a metal-bound water, which is aided by an intramolecular P=O...H-O hydrogen bonding interaction.
A new membrane synthesized onto a commercial tubular support was prepared by the directed synthesis of ordered mesoporous MSU-type silica through an interfacial reaction between a silica condensation catalyst (NaF) and new hybrid micellar building units made of silica precursors and nonionic surfactants. This membrane…
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to explore the thermal conductivity in the cross-plane direction of single-crystal thin silicon films. The silicon crystal has diamond structure, and the Stillinger-Weber potential is adopted. The inhomogeneous nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) scheme is applied to m…
