Concentrated solutions of multi-walled carbon nanotubes modified with long-alkyl chains (eMWNTs) in a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/cyclohexanone (CH) system are prepared. A cooperative effect between the eMWNTs, PVC and CH via van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding is responsible for the improv…
Herein, we report a novel supramolecular phosphorescent material based on a β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex. This inclusion complex exhibits unprecedented excitation-light-responsive phosphorescent color changes, which is a promising candidate for dynamically photofunctional material.

New water-soluble and highly luminescent ZnSe/ZnS:Mn/ZnS core/shell/shell nanocrystals with color-tunable emission range between 580 and 600 nm were synthesized via a three-step in single flask method.
Machines designed to operate in marine environment are generally vulnerable to failure by corrosion. It is therefore imperative that the corrosion susceptibility of such facilities is evaluated with a view to establishing mechanism for its mitigation. In this study, the corrosion behaviour of as-cast and retrogression…
A novel star-shaped copolymer PEI10 000-g-PLL20, with a hyperbranched polyethylenimine (PEI) core and multiple linear poly(L-lysine) (PLL) peripheral chains was designed and synthesized. The star-shaped peptide, along with multiple counterions, was used as an organic template to direct the biomimetic synthesis of sili…
Soft ferromagnetic materials have an important role in technology, for increasing magnetic field in specific regions, as in the core of transformers, and for properly modifying the magnetic field in particular shapes. Here we develop a numerical model that allows study of the response of a soft ferromagnet bar with ar…
Here, hierarchical hollow barium carbonate (BaCO3) with different sizes and morphologies can be obtained by a simple one-pot approach in the presence of soluble starch. Instead of dendritic crystals obtained without soluble starch, the morphology with hierarchical hollow BaCO3 superstructure can be systematically chan…
Silver crystals with various novel nano-scale morphologies were synthesized from the reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by ascorbic acid (AsA) in aqueous PEO-PPO-PEO tri-block copolymer (F127) solutions. The presence of only high-concentration AsA at the very initial stage of reduction acts as a key factor in forming…
The CuO/Cu2O nanowire axial heterostructures were fabricated by a thermal oxidation technique in air. These nanowire structures resulted from CuO nanowire growth followed by Cu2O formation. These nanowires were divided into two regions. One is the top half part of the nanowire with CuO domains, and the other part is t…
Widely recognized as the quintessential material, sp(2) hybridized carbon material with low dimensions, such as zero-dimensional fullerene, one-dimensional carbon nanotube and two-dimensional graphene, has already compiled an impressive list of superlatives. Quite recently, one-dimensional sp-sp(2) hybridized carbon t…
The structural and mechanical properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) under uniaxial tensile strain are studied by density functional theory. The ideal strength of a zigzag GNR (120 GPa) is close to that of pristine graphene. However, for a GNR with both edges reconstructed to pentagon–heptagon pairs (from hexagon–h…
SnO2 is a promising material for photovoltaic and photocatalytic applications because it exhibits high electron mobility, its conduction band lies at a convenient energy to act as an electron acceptor, and it can be easily grown in a variety of different nanostructures including nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanosheets…
The tensile strain and oxygen vacancy effects on the electronic and magnetic properties of multiferroic material BiCoO3 have been studied by density functional theory + U calculations. It is found that the oxygen vacancy at the top of the pyramid structure along the 〈001〉 direction (denoted as O1) can be stabilized at…
Different types of natural fiber are used to reduce the traditional fiber in composite fabrication due to their inherent properties when compared to other materials. New natural fiber reinforced composite (lantana-camara and bagasse) were fabricated with different volume fraction (10, 20, 30) and also tested experimen…
Mesoporous SrTiO3 spheres were synthesized via the self-assembly of nanocrystallites in the presence of Na2SiO3·9H2O through a hydrothermal process. The as-prepared samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron micr…
Isotopic (10)BN sheets were first prepared using graphene sheets as templates to react with (10)B(2)O(3). The edge-areas of BN sheets have much higher oxygen-doping ratios compared to other areas. The emission peak of X-ray excited optical luminescence spectra of the (10)BN-sheets is broader and red-shifted because of…
A series of chelating amphiphiles and their gadolinium (Gd(III)) metal complexes have been synthesized and studied with respect to their neat and lyotropic liquid crystalline phase behavior. These amphiphiles have the ability to form ion-tunable self-assembly nanostructures and their associated Gd(III) complexes have…
A simple electrochemical deposition was developed to synthesize the cuprous oxide (Cu(2)O) octahedra on aluminum foils. The average edge length of the octahedra is about 300 nm. The chemical composition of the octahedra was determined using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Th…
Surface oxide layers on stainless steel were formed in 561 K pure water at different potentials. To understand the oxide's properties in terms of their potential dependence, cross-sectional views of the oxide layer were analyzed using an electron microprobe technique and potential – solubility (equilibrium concentrati…
