Spontaneous assembly of nanoscale building blocks into three-dimensional (3D) frameworks is a vital strategy for practical application in environmental remediation, energy storage/conversion, sensing devices, etc. Herein we report an environmentally friendly, low cost, and easy to scale-up route to synthesize reduced…
Shape memory composites (SMCs) are attractive materials as they combine typical mechanical and functional properties of composites with shape memory properties. Such properties can be given to composite materials and structures by using shape memory polymer (SMP) matrices or integrating parts made of SMPs. In the case…
The electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of the PPy/GNs composites have been greatly enhanced as the GNs content increases, while the thermal conductivity still keeps a relatively low value.
Two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride materials have been drawing increasing attentions in energy conversion, environment protection and spintronic devices. Here, based on first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that the already-synthesized honeycomb lattice of s-triazines with a chemical formula of C6N6…
Nanoparticles (NPs) have promising applications in medicine. Immune system is an important protective system to defend organisms from non-self matters. NPs interact with the immune system and modulate its function, leading to immunosuppression or immunostimulation. These modulating effects may bring benefits or danger…
Graphene/porous carbon aerogels were rationally designed by a simple green process, exhibiting excellent electrochemical performance and long-term cycle stability as the electrode materials in flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors.
Over the last decade, a great deal of attention has been devoted to study the inflammatory response upon exposure to multi/single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and different fullerene derivatives. In particular, carbon nanoparticles are reported to provoke substantial inflammation in alveolar and bronchial epithelial…
Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have received great research interest in recent years, with applications in areas such as bio-imaging and chemical sensing. However, solid state photoluminescence of CDs and its related applications (e.g. optoelectronics) is a less explored territory. Here, we have systematically studied…
Cancer is currently one of the major diseases that has gained a lot of scientific attention. Conventional cancer therapeutics involve surgical removal of tumors from patients followed by chemotherapeutic treatment. In the use of anticancer drugs during the chemotherapy process, patients often suffer from a variety of…
A novel sandwich-like structured Co-Al LDH-Carbon Nanotube (CNT) composite has been successfully synthesized by the elegant combination between exfoliated Co-Al LDH nanosheets and modified CNTs, which was achieved through an electrostatic assembly method. It is worth noting that the negatively charged CNTs, sandwiched…
Biodegradable polymers from renewable resources are sought after for many purposes, from packaging materials in food to biomedical applications. Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is a well-known biopolymer derived from corn starch or sugar cane used in different food packaging and artificial bones and scaffolds. Poly(lactic ac…
Herein we report the synthesis and characterisation of a series of Zr(IV) 2,2'-bipyrrolidine-salan derived complexes and their exploitation for the ring opening polymerisation of rac-lactide to afford highly isotactically enriched polymers.
In this manuscript, MnCO3 is introduced as a novel electrode material for supercapacitors. MnCO3 was synthesized by a hydrothermal method using KMnO4 and commercial sugar as precursors. The synthesized product was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopic studies. Rietveld refinement…
Graphite oxides were synthesized following the Hummer's method using three different graphite precursors. The role of the graphite precursor and sodium nitrate during graphite oxide synthesis has been investigated. Different analytical techniques, namely powder X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis, infrared…
Recycling textiles: the use of ionic liquids in the separation of cotton polyester blends. A facile and environmentally sustainable solution.
We have studied the response of ferromagnetic liquid crystals to external magnetic and electric fields, and compared it to the usual response of nematic liquid crystals (NLCs). We have observed effects, which are not present in a pure NLC and are a consequence of the coupling between the nematic director and the magne…
The thermoelectric performance of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) complexed with a poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) film was enhanced by a three-step process.
The lanthanide(iii) cyanoacetate complexes of the formula {[Ln2(CNCH2COO)6(H2O)4]·2H2O}n, where Ln = Eu (), Gd (), Nd (), have been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes and are isostructural and differ from the binding scheme of the neodymium compound , structurally described earlier. In…
Co <sub>9</sub> S <sub>8</sub> /graphene nanocomposites (Co <sub>9</sub> S <sub>8</sub> /G) at various concentrations of graphene and Co <sub>9</sub> S <sub>8</sub> were prepared and tested for its electrochemical behaviour for supercapacitors.
We designed a perfluorinated dopamine derivative, which, upon oxidative polymerization, formed a structurally rough film of extremely low surface energy on various substrates. The static water contact angles larger than 150° and the low water sliding angles less than 7° confirmed the formation of superhydrophobic, sel…
