Conventionally, the aragonite polymorph of CaCO3 possesses a ‘needle-like’ morphology. Aragonite crystals with unconventional morphologies, like ‘cauliflower’ and ‘flake’, have been synthesised by combining aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and Na2CO3 under ambient reaction conditions. The unambiguous characterisation of the…
Aluminium-incorporated SBA mesoporous materials have been obtained for the first time by direct synthesis; the resulting materials retain the hexagonal order and physical properties of purely siliceous SBA-15 and present higher catalytic activities in the cumene cracking reaction than AlMCM-41 materials.
The chemistry of methanol was explored on the vacuum annealed TiO2(110) surface, with and without the presence of coadsorbed water and oxygen, using temperature programmed desorption (TPD), high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SSIMS) and low energy electro…
Abstract
Natural fiber reinforced composites is an emerging area in polymer science. These natural fibers are low cost fibers with low density and high specific properties. These are biodegradable and non-abrasive. The natural fiber composites offer specific properties comparable to those of conventional fiber composites. Howe…
The hypervelocity impact facilities of the University of Kent are described. They comprise a 2 MV Van de Graaff accelerator for the electrostatic acceleration of dust particles (mass and velocities ) and a two-stage light gas gun firing millimetre-sized particles at . Results for impact ionization studies using iron d…
Water repellency, high surface resistivity, vandalism resistance, low density and good processability have made silicone rubbers based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) very attractive materials in housings for outdoor insulation. Their ability to recover hydrophobicity after oxida. tion or contamination is of paramount…
Peach–Koehler theory is implemented to simulate the motion of arbitrarily configured interacting dislocations, located on arbitrary glide planes and having any allowed Burgers vector. The self-interaction is regularized by a modified Brown procedure, which remains stable and loses accuracy in a well-controlled manner…
Although the applications of ultrasound have long been known in both industry and academy, the “green” value of the non-hazardous acoustic radiation has been recognised by synthetic and environmental chemists only recently. The chemical and physical effects of ultrasound arise from the cavitational collapse which prod…
The electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity of oxide Ca 9 Co 12 O 28 with Ca 2 Co 2 O 5 -type structure are 84 S cm –1 , 118 µV K –1 and 1.73 W m –1 K –1 respectively at 700 °C, and its figure of merit is 0.67×10 –4 K –1 , showing that Ca 9 Co 12 O 28 is a potential material for high temp…
Thiol-functionalized nanostructured silicas with uniform porosities exhibit selective complexation affinity for Hg2+, while other metal ions (Cd2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Co3+, Fe3+, Cu2+ and Ni2+) have little or no binding ability with the adsorbents.
Hyperthermia and liposomal drug delivery are treatment modalities that have been used to treat cancer over the last two decades. More recently, the two therapies have been used together in an attempt to exploit their mutual interactions against cancer. The goal of this review is to explore the literature related to co…
Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) exhibit similar capillarity properties to those exhibited by multiple walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs); SWNTs, previously filled in low yield (ca. 2%) by solution chemistry techniques, can be filled in high yield (up to ca. 50%) by the liquid phase method; compositions from the KC…
Films of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were cast from suspensions in several solvents on the surface of a Pt or Au electrode. Cyclic voltammetry of the films in MeCN did not show well-resolved waves (as distinct from films of C_(60) prepared in a similar manner). However, the increase in the effective capacita…
One hundred-forty-five full-length aldehyde dehydrogenase-related sequences were aligned to determine relationships within the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) extended family. The alignment reveals only four invariant residues: two glycines, a phenylalanine involved in NAD binding, and a glutamic acid that coordinates t…
Magnetically driven actuator materials, such as the ternary and intermetallic Heusler alloys with composition , are studied within the density-functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the electronic exchange and correlation. The geometrical and electronic structures for the magneti…
Functional conjugated polymers prepared by electrochemical polymerization are reviewed. Various classes of functionalized polymers are considered such as polymers for energy storage and sensor applications, small band gap polymers and novel polymeric materials with original macromolecular structure. Particular emphasi…

Ligand and metal control of self-assembly in supramolecular chemistry, Rolf W. Saalfrank and Bernhard Demleitner bistability in iron (II) spin-crossover systems - a supramolecular function, Jose Antonio Real fluorescent sensors for and with transition metals, Luigi Fabbrizzi Maurizo Licchelli, Piersandro Pallavicini,…
Nanocrystalline yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) and Ce-doped YAG ceramics were synthesized by two ‘soft chemistry' sol–gel processes using (i) mixtures of inorganic salts or oxides and (ii) mixtures of alkoxides of the respective elements. In the first approach the metal ions, generated by dissolving metal ox…
