A series of novel lanthanide polyoxomolybdates was synthesized by reaction of lanthanide cations with the Anderson type anion (TeMo(6)O(24))(6-). The polyoxometalates K(6n)(TeMo(6)O(24))(n)[(Ln(H(2)O)(7))(2)(TeMo(6)O(24))](n)[middle dot]16nH(2)O (Ln = Eu, Gd) and K(3n)[Ln(H(2)O)(5)(TeMo(6)O(24))](n)[middle dot]6nH(2)O…
Carbon nanotubes have been synthesised by catalytic chemical vapour deposition of a H2–CH4 mixture (18 mol% CH4) over (Mg,Co,Mo)O catalysts. The total amount of cobalt and molybdenum has been kept constant at 1 cat% and the proportion of molybdenum with respect to cobalt has been varied from x(Mo) = 0.25–1.0. This var…
Biomineralization leads to the formation of inorganic crystals with unique, ordered, refined shapes that are regulated by specific macromolecules. This process has been a source of inspiration for exploring novel approaches to the fabrication of inorganic-based surfaces and interfaces. Among those macromolecules, sulf…
Bubble nucleation sites in beer glasses should be uniformly small to ensure that the foam produced comprises homogenously small bubbles with attendant reduced degrees of disproportionation. The latter phenomenon is also hindered by increased film thickness in foam, which in turn will be enhanced by increased localised…
The electrochemical properties of the interface between Ni and yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) in the H 2 H 2 O Ni YSZ electrode have been investigated in order to obtain knowledge on the effect of segregation of impurities to the electrode-electrolyte interface on performance. Even for a relatively pure nickel…
This paper proposes a simple, practical PSPICE model of a three-phase, three-legged, saturated transformer with accurate performance. The transformer is modeled with its electric and magnetic equivalent circuits and a simple but reliable characterization of its nonlinear magnetic behavior. Two three-phase transformers…
Oxygen plasma-treated quenched and annealed polypropylene (PP) films with different crystallinities were investigated to characterize the surface rearrangement behavior during aging using contact-angle measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Optimum plasma conditions were examined by varying the power, time…
Abstract This review describes nuclear waste forms for high-level waste (HLW), that is, glasses, ceramics, and glass-ceramics, as well as for low- and intermediate-level waste (LILW), that is, cement, bitumen, glass, glassy slags, and ceramics. Ceramic waste forms have the highest chemical durability and radiation res…
The coordinating chemistry of lanthanides, relevant to the biological, biochemical and medical aspects, makes a significant contribution to understanding the basis of application of lanthanides, particularly in biological and medical systems. The importance of the applications of lanthanides, as an excellent diagnosti…
Characterization and control of the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix are critical to the interpretation of results of in vitro studies of cultured tissues and cells and for the design of functional engineered constructs. In this work a viscoelastic tensile test system and custom culture chambers were…
This article describes a number of important recent microscopy tools and their application in particular to the study of porous inorganic materials. The authors believe that these new techniques are on the threshold of delivering enormous new power in the chemist's arsenal for understanding new and complex behaviour i…

Dendrimers are highly branched macromolecules which may engage in host-guest interactions, acting as either hosts or guests; this review is specifically concerned with the binding behavior of dendrimers containing single or multiple guest residues interacting with individual, freely diffusing hosts.
Fillers are used along with various commodities as well as engineering polymers to improve the properties of polymers. The performance of filled polymers is generally determined on the basis of the interface attraction of filler and polymers. Fillers of widely varying particle size and surface characteristics are resp…
Novel hollow nanoshells of Mn(2)O(3) with controllable ultrathin shell thickness have been fabricated through layer-by-layer assembly of exfoliated MnO(2) nanosheets and polyelectrolytes on polymer bead templates, followed by removal of the polymer cores via calcination.
Reaction of aqueous/ethanolic solutions of CoCl2.6H2O and nitrilotripropionic acid (H3ntp=N(CH2CH2COOH)3) in the presence of potassium hydroxide affords the hydroxy-bridged tetranuclear cluster [Co4mu3-OH)2(H2O)6(ntp)2].2H2O (1). The Ni(II) analogue [Ni4(mu3-OH)2(H2O)6(ntp)2].2H2O (2) can also be isolated using aqueou…
The effect of chitosan on Saccharomyces cerevisiae (the yeast that carries out alcohol fermentation), Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Brettanomyces intermedius (contaminants of alcohol fermentations), was investigated. The effect of chitosan was tested on each yeast, as well as on mixed cultivations of S. cerevisiae +…
The TCNE22− π-dimer has many of the characteristics of a chemical bond despite its remarkably long (2.9 Å) C–C bondlength, as it exists in crystalline solids. Using computational methods, we examine the nature of this long bond by obtaining potential energy curves that are, for the first time, in satisfactory agreemen…
In this study, the synthesis of nanostructured particles of nitrides (Cr2N, Co2N, Fe4N, Cu3N, Ni3N), metal (Cu) and oxides (Al2O3, TiO2, Ga2O3) by using supercritical ammonia in the reaction medium is described. The elaboration process is based on the thermal decomposition of metal precursors in a supercritical ammoni…
Using first-principles molecular dynamics, we investigate the interactions of water with the (0001) α-quartz surface. Both the cleaved (unreconstructed) surface, which presents non-bridging oxygen atoms, and the dense surface, which is characterized by 3-membered and 6 membered-rings with siloxane bonds at the top, ar…
