Novel calcium phosphate materials were synthesized from solutions containing the surfactant bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT), water and oil. A range of morphologies was obtained by varying the relative concentrations of the solution components. A material with structural features resembling tooth enam…
Non-oxidic salts such as NaCl, CaF2, SrF2 and BaF2 were synthesised using a flame spray method; optional doping of such fluorides with rare earth elements suggests possible applications in optics.
We describe a new technique based on latex technology, which allows the production of conductive composites with potential applications in electronics. These composites consist of exfoliated single-wall nanotubes in a polymer matrix of choice, with very low percolation threshold.
Multifunctional core-shell microspheres consisting of a polystyrene 640 nm diameter core covered with a selectable number of layers of magnetite (12 nm) and silica-coated gold (15 nm) nanoparticles have been fabricated using the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique in aqueous solution. By varying the shell thickness and lay…
This paper presents a review of the ST and SFE values expressed in dyn/cm for a number of polymers, minerals, oxides and clays. The review also deals with the calculation of ST based on parachor values and other polymer properties obtained from a DIPPR database accompanied and coupled with QSPR software entitled TSAR.…
The mechanical and gas-barrier properties of paper and paperboard coated with chitosan–acetic acid salt (chitosan), whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and wheat gluten protein were studied. Paper sheets were solution-coated using a hand applicator. In addition, bi-layer composites of wheat gluten and paper…
Current study presents one of effective techniques to improve mechanical properties of PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid)-based bamboo fiber composite. Commercially available Micro-Fibrillated Cellulose (MFC) obtained from wood pulp was applied as an enhancer to the composite. The bamboo fibers were extracted by steam explosion m…
Several oxy-apatite materials La10−xSrx(TO4)6O3−0.5x (T = Ge, Si; 10−x = 9.00, 8.80, 8.65 and 8.00) and La9.33(Si1−xGexO4)6O2 (x = 0, 0.5, 0.67) have been prepared as highly crystalline phases. The impedance study showed that all samples are oxide ion conductors. However, bulk conductivities changed by more than 2 ord…
Polystyrene microbeads doped with highly luminescent CdS quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared. Polystyrene particles with diameters ranging from 100 nm to 500 µm were prepared by a suspension polymerization method and with different loadings of QDs. The resulting organic–inorganic microspheres have been characterized…
We report here the synthesis, photophysical characterization and ion binding ability of new silica nanoparticles bearing covalently linked luminescent chemosensors. These moieties possess a dansyl unit as a fluorophore and a polyamine chain as a receptor. Interestingly, the addition of copper, cobalt and nickel ions i…
Martensitic phase transitions are often modeled by mixed-type hyperbolic-elliptic systems. Such systems lead to ill-posed initial-value problems unless they are supplemented by an additional kinetic relation. In this paper we explicitly compute an appropriate closing relation by replacing the continuum model with its…
Certain peptide amphiphiles (PAs) in aqueous media are known to form high-aspect-ratio cylindrical nanofibers with hydrophobic cores. Using cholesterol or palmitic acid as the hydrophobe and the biological adhesion epitope RGDS as the hydrophilic segment, we studied the encapsulation of pyrene, a small hydrophobic mol…
Astonishingly uniform polypyrrole nanocoating on morphologically complex cellulosic substances was achieved without disrupting the hierarchical network structures of individual cellulose fibers by means of polymerization-induced adsorption.
A simple mild solution method is developed to synthesize a novel nanoribbon multicomponent precursor. A new 1-D nanostructure, porous structured nanoribbons which are self-assembled by textured ZnO nanoparticles, was found upon removal of ligand molecules from the ribbonlike precursor. The structure combines 1-dimensi…
The past 15 years have seen anincredible surge in research anddevelopment activity aroundsmart materials, the transducersthey enable, and the structuresin which they are embedded.Smart materials are a class ofmaterials that exhibit a strong,repeatable change in physicalproperties in response to chang-ing external cond…
The effects of ECAP temperature and post-ECAP annealing on grain size, texture and mechanical behavior have been examined. The softening of ECAPed Mg alloys despite the considerable grain size refinement has been ascribed to the texture change during ECAP. The strength of the ECAPed AZ31 Mg alloys, however, increased…
Finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) computer simulations reveal interesting features of the transmission of a linearly polarized plane-wave through a periodic array of sub-wavelength slits in a thick metal film (incident E-field perpendicular to the slits' long axis). The results show that slit transmission has a qua…
Two new octanuclear nickel(II) cage complexes are reported; the second is a new single molecule magnet.
Since the discovery of ordered mesoporous silica, control of the structure of organic layers at the mesoscopic level has become a topic of growing interest for the modification of silica surfaces. In addition, the microstructure of functional groups on the surface also produces new problems specific to mesoporous sili…
Monte Carlo computer simulation studies have been undertaken for virtually all of the ice phases as well as for liquid water for three of the most popular model potentials; namely SPC/E, TIP4P and TIP5P. Densities have been calculated for specific thermodynamic state points and compared to experimental results. The SP…
