Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and a coarse grained model of ionic liquids, we have investigated the impact that the shape and the intramolecular charge distribution of the ions have on the electrotuneable friction with ionic-liquid nanoscale films. We show that the electric-field induces signifi…
<p>A produção de cenoura em grande escala na região de Rio Paranaíba coloca essa região em posição de destaque no cenário nacional. No entanto, é relatado que ocorre significativa quantidade de sobras após a colheita. O aproveitamento do material descartado na cadeia de alimentos pode se concretizar pelo process…
Analysis of the size distribution of nanocrystals is a critical requirement for the processing and optimization of their size-dependent properties. The common techniques used for the size analysis are transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). These techniq…
A practically nonconducting triazine-phenol polymer with high surface-hydrophobicity is transformed into a proton conducting electrolyte by tunable Li+ loading. The high hydration tendency of the Li+ enables the retention of residual waters assisting conductivities as high as 1.63 × 10−3 S cm−1 even at 150 ºC. The cru…
Polyamide-6 (PA6) submicron-sized spheres are prepared by two steps: (1) anionic ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly-(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG) and (2) separation of PA6 spheres by dissolving PEG-b-PPG-b-PEG from the prep…
Fluorescent nanodiamonds (NDs) are remarkable objects. They possess unique mechanical and optical properties combined with high surface areas and controllable surface reactivity. They are non-toxic and hence suited for use in biological environments. NDs are also readily available and commercially inexpensive. Here, t…
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used as a carrier to improve the pharmaceutical properties of drugs with low molecular weight. However, PEG has few functional groups (usually two) for drug conjugation and the resulting low drug content (1–2%) has hampered its clinical applications. For this study, we synthesized b…
Raman spectrometry was employed to study the characteristics of Raman spectra of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which were treated with sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid and copper sulfate, respectively. Raman spectra under different conditions were obtained and the characteristics of the Raman spectra were analyzed.…
l-Proline Lithium Chloride Monohydrate single crystal has been successfully synthesized and grown by slow evaporation solution technique. The lattice dimensions have been calculated by single crystal XRD. The presence of strain inside the crystal has been evaluated by powder X-ray diffraction. Its crystalline perfecti…
ABSTRACT We report the quenching behavior of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) on the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of the Ru(bpy) 3 2+ /TPrA [bpy = tris(2,2′-bipyridine), TPrA = tri- n -propylamine] system at a Pt electrode in acetonitrile containing tetra- n -butylammonium perchlorate supporting electrolyte. Ef…
Abstract This study reports the reinforcement and fracture toughening mechanism of pristine multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on epoxy matrix. The tensile strength and fracture energy ( G IC ) of the epoxy polymer increased simultaneously upon the addition of a small amount of MWCNTs. The fracture surfaces of sin…
In this study we investigated the natural weathering of a catalyzed blend of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate PET/PC (80/20wt/wt%). The results were compared to the accelerated photoaging tests. The specimens were characterized by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), optical microscopy (OM), thermogravimetry…
Poly(2,5-dimethoxyaniline) (PDMA) was synthesized using electrochemical polymerization of DMA in oxalic acid. The PDMA film coated onto ITO glass was studied for its chemical structure, morphology, electro-deposition, and electro-activity by FT-IR, TGA, SEM, cyclic voltammetry, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The PDMA f…
Phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming increasingly popular for general lighting. The non-rare-earth phosphor K 2 SiF 6 :Mn 4+ , showing promising saturated red d-d-line emission, was investigated. To evaluate the application potential of this phosphor, the luminescence behavior was studied…
Nanostructuring has been considered an effective approach to enhance the thermoelectric (TE) performance of materials by reducing their lattice thermal conductivity. In the present study, we show the influence of a process control agent (PCA) for ball milling, Stearic acid (SA), on the nano- and microstructure and the…
By the insertion of thin InGaN layers into Nitrogen-polar GaN p-n junctions, polarization-induced Zener tunnel junctions are studied. The reverse-bias interband Zener tunneling current is found to be weakly temperature dependent, as opposed to the strongly temperature-dependent forward bias current. This indicates tun…
The microscopic structure of ultra-thin oxide barriers often plays a major role in modern nano-electronic devices. In the case of superconducting electronic circuits, their operation depends on the electrical non-linearity provided by one or more such oxide layers in the form of ultra-thin tunnel barriers (also known…
The anomalous hysteresis is reported in photo current density-voltage (J-V) curves of perovskite solar cells. The origins responsible for hysteresis are primarily attributed to ferroelectricity, trapping/de-trapping, and ions migration. Meanwhile, a switchable photovoltaic effect is disclosed in lateral structure pero…
Metasurfaces, which are capable of generating structure and wavelength dependent phase shift, have emerged as promising means for controlling the wavefront of electromagnetic waves. Finding new ways to realize broadband frequency response as well as maintaining high conversion efficiency still requires research effort…
The triennial IUCr congresses have always been highlights and sources of scientific inspiration in my years as a crystallographer, because not only do they provide the latest results in your own field of interest but they also give an overview of developments of crystallography in all its facets. The 23rd IUCr Congres…
