The thioesterase FlK from the fluoroacetate-producing Streptomyces cattleya catalyzes the hydrolysis of fluoroacetyl-coenzyme A. This provides an effective self-defense mechanism, preventing any fluoroacetyl-coenzyme A formed from being further metabolized to 4-hydroxy-trans-aconitate, a lethal inhibitor of the tricar…
The structural dependence of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy of itinerant permanent magnets (or nanostructures of iron-series 3d elements) is investigated by model and tight-binding calculations. Magnetic nanostructures yield strong oscillations of the anisotropy as a function of the number of d electrons per atom,…
Anion-exchange processes in cobalt–aluminium layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were studied by in situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The processes investigated were CoAl–CO 3 → CoAl–Cl → CoAl–CO 3 , CoAl–Cl → CoAl–NO 3 and CoAl–CO 3 → CoAl–SO 4 . The XRPD data show that the CoAl–CO 3 → CoAl–Cl process is…
Constructing a model lattice to fit the observed Bragg diffraction pattern is straightforward for perfect samples, but indexing can be challenging when artifacts are present, such as poorly shaped spots, split crystals giving multiple closely aligned lattices and outright superposition of patterns from aggregated micr…
Microstructure evolution in an as-cast Na modified Al–7%Si (wt. pct.) alloy was examined during redundant and monotonic straining by repetitive equi-channel angular pressing (ECAP) under ambient temperature conditions, and during friction stir processing (FSP). Redundant straining during repetitive ECAP was accomplish…
Borane complexes of aziridine, phosphirane, cyclopropylamine, cyclopropylphosphine, cyclopropylmethylamine, and cyclopropylmethylphosphine have been prepared by the reaction at low temperatures of a borane complex or diborane on the free phosphine or amine. The products characterized by NMR spectroscopy and mass spect…
The neutral hexacoordinate silicon(IV) complex 6 (SiO(2)N(4) skeleton) and the neutral pentacoordinate silicon(IV) complexes 7-11 (SiO(2)N(2)C skeletons) were synthesized from Si(NCO)(4) and RSi(NCO)(3) (R = Me, Ph), respectively. The compounds were structurally characterized by solid-state NMR spectroscopy (6-11), so…
The luminescence behavior of CdS nanocrystals in aqueous solution and in the presence of proteins has been deeply investigated. CdS nanocrystals have been prepared in water by thermal decomposition of a single organometallic precursor assisted by thioglycerol, which acts as capping agent. Different experimental condit…
Abstract This study investigates the simultaneous use of conventional fire‐retardant additives and an insulative intumescent thermal barrier/mat to improve the fire performance and mechanical property retention of glass‐fibre‐reinforced polyester (GRP) composites. Significant reductions in the peak heat release rate (…
Photoemission spectra of very thin organic films differ from that of thicker bulklike films. In particular, the binding-energy shifts in molecular orbitals at metal/organic interfaces vary as a function of the organic overlayer thickness. Using a simple image-charge model it is found that electrostatic screening can h…
Protein engineering holds great promise for the development of new biosensors, diagnostics, therapeutics, and agents for bioremediation. Despite some remarkable successes in experimental and computational protein design, engineered proteins rarely achieve the efficiency or specificity of natural enzymes. Current prote…
The dynamics of isooctylcyanobiphenyl (8*OCB) was characterized using dielectric and mechanical spectroscopies. This isomer of the liquid crystalline octylcyanobiphenyl (8OCB) vitrifies during cooling or on application of pressure, exhibiting the typical features of glass-forming liquids: non-Debye relaxation function…
Using the coordinate transformation theory, we propose a way to control the field distribution of electromagnetic wave in a waveguide filling with properly designed transformation media. The results show that the field distribution of the electromagnetic wave can be compressed and amplified in both longitudinal and tr…
The Lith′ing Daylights: The direct chemical reaction between lithium and water is employed as a controllable electrochemical reaction in a lithium–water cell to generate H2 gas. The hydrogen generation can be easily controlled by adjusting the current density of the external circuit or discharge time. Lithium-metal pr…
Abstract The morphology of polymer nanocomposites is usually characterized by various methods like X‐ray diffraction (XRD) or transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In this work, a new approach for characterizing nanocomposites is developed: the results of small angle x‐ray scattering, on‐line extensional rheometry (…
Abstract A novel, hydroxy‐functional, organophosphorus flame retardant (FR), 2,2‐dihydroxymethylpropane‐1,3‐diolylbis(hydrogen phenylphosphonate) (DHDBP), was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 1 H‐NMR, 13 C‐NMR, 31 P‐NMR, and elemental analysis. Subsequently, poly(ethylen…
Abstract We are testing the compatibilization of the chitosan/PLA blends by addition of diisocyanate and at studying the effect of several MDI concentrations (0.5 and 2.5% of the global blend mass, w/w). To evaluate the MDI efficiency as a compatibilizer of chitosan/PLA blends, we worked with the following methods: IR…
Abstract A study of the simultaneous application of a brominated flame retardant and an organically layered silicate (OLS) for the flame retarding of polyamide 6 (PA6) is presented. Upon treating PA6 with at least 7 wt% monomeric pentabromobenzyl acrylate (PMA), a UL‐94 V‐0 rating and an oxygen index (OI) value of 29.…
Well-defined star-shaped donor-pi-acceptor meta-conjugated systems with broad absorption features were constructed through facilely synthetic routes, in which triphenylamine (TPA) moiety as an electron donor and 2-dicyanomethylen-3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran (TCF) unit as an electron acceptor were introduc…
Abstract Mesoporous silica SBA‐15 synthesized from Pluronic P123 and tetraethoxysilane was used as a synergistic agent on the flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP)/intumescent flame‐retardant (IFR) system. Limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94 rating and thermogravimetric analysis were used to evaluate the synergistic e…
