Flexible and transparent silicon nanoparticle (Si-NP)/polymer composites possess high quantum yields and robust photostability for luminescence across the entire visible spectrum when stored in a variety of solvents and/or atmospheres. Moreover, the Si-NP/polymer composites in the form of films, fibers, tubes, and bow…
DFT calculations were carried out to study (183)W NMR chemical shifts in the family of the Keggin anions with formula alpha-[XW(12)O(40)](q-) (X=B, Al, Si, P, Ga, Ge, As, Zn), in the beta- and gamma-[SiW(12)O(40)](4-) geometric isomers, in the derivative Dawson anion [P(2)W(18)O(62)](6-), and in the most symmetrical L…
Here we report a scalable colloidal templating approach for producing metal half-shells as efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. Nonclose-packed monolayer colloidal crystals created by a spin-coating technology are used as structural template to fabricate both water-dispersed half-shells and d…
This paper reviews recent results in the field of chemical modification of wood with linear chain anhydrides. Though the main focus is on work performed by the author, this is described in the context of related progress in the field. The combined research has demonstrated the effectiveness of chemical modification ap…
Abstract Over the past few decades liposomes, which are lipid vesicles useful for the controlled release of numerous bioactive compounds, have attracted significant industrial interest. Several techniques have evolved for the manufacture of liposomes on a small scale. However, production on a commercially feasible sca…
Surface energies are an important factor in determining surface reactivity, sintering, and transformation, yet, until recently, there have been few direct measurements for rock-forming mineral phases. Using calorimetric methodology we developed and first applied to aluminum and iron oxides, we present here the first d…
The proposition has been made and is now gaining popular acceptance that electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) attached to a transmission electron microscope (TEM) can be used to semiquantitatively measure H in minerals-specifically, that there is a pre-peak to the O K edge near 530 eV whose intensity is a measure…
Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) sheets of different crystallinity were obtained by annealing the amorphous PET (aPET) sheets at 110°C for various times. The peaks of enthalpy recovery and double cold‐crystallization in the annealed aPET samples with different crystallinity were investigated by a temperatur…
Abstract The synthesis, functionalization and assembly of metal oxide nanoparticles BaTiO 3 and CoFe 2 O 4 is presented. The ferroelectric (BaTiO 3 ) and ferromagnetic (CoFe 2 O 4 ) oxide nanoparticle surfaces are directly functionalized via the anchoring of phosphonic acid and aminosilane molecules that engender the…
A new synthetic route has been utilized for the formation of multiple-shaped Pt nanoparticles (NPs) under UV-photoirradiation. The one-step process exclusively generates different shapes, such as spheres, cubes, short and long wires, and flakelike nanostructures. The reduction of Pt(IV) ions was done using alkaline 2,…
Hydrothermal reactions of N-piperidinomethane-1-phosphonic acid (H 2 pmp) and oxalate anion with trivalent rare earth metal ions yielded 13 rare earth oxalatophosphonates with three closely related structural types, ranging from two-dimensional (2D) networks to three-dimensional (3D) frameworks. They are formulated as…
Two novel heterotrinuclear chromium(III)-cobalt(II) complexes of formula {[Cr(III)(bpy)(ox)(2)](2)Co(II)(Me(2)bpy)}.2H(2)O (1) and {[Cr(III)(phen)(ox)(2)](2)Co(II)(Me(2)bpy)}.1.5H(2)O (2) [ox = oxalato, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, Me(2)bpy = 6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] have been synthesiz…
We explore the extent to which the concept of localized surface-plasmon resonances can be used to explain the optical response of complementary electromagnetic metamaterials in the visible. The two complementary metallic nanostructures investigated are the mesh-based and particle-based structures, more specifically st…
New nonlinear crystals Na(3)La(9)O(3)(BO(3))(8) (abbreviated as NLBO) with desired morphologies, high quality and weight exceeding 40g have been grown along different directions, such as [001], [110], and [100], by top-seeded solution growth(TSSG) method. The refractive indices were accurately measured over the full t…
Vive la différence! Spatially isolated, multifunctional TiIV active sites, like those in the catalyst TAPO-5 (pictured) facilitate the conversion of cyclohexene to adipic acid with H2O2 through a cascade of six consecutive reactions, illustrating how such solids unite the advantages of heterogeneous and homogeneous ca…
A cooperative dual-responsive polypeptide surface switching between superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic states is presented. This macroscopic phenomenon of surface originates from the combination of the cooperative unfolding/aggregation of the poly-L-lysine (PLL) immobilized on the substrate with micro/nanocomposite…
A sample of Mg-vermiculite from Santa Olalla (Spain) was studied by X-ray powder diffraction, electron microprobe, and thermo-gravimetry. The 3D structure is described as a disordered stack of two types of 2D building blocks, which are made up of one talc-type layer and one interlayer space containing hydrated Mg 2+ c…
Four dyads comprised of corrole and coumarin units have been synthesised. Three coumarincarboxaldehydes were synthesized and transformed into the corresponding trans-A(2)B-corroles by reaction with 5-(pentafluorophenyl)dipyrromethane. It has been proven that this type of direct condensation can lead to the correspondi…
An easy fabrication method comprising a slit die extrusion-hot stretch-quench process was used to make carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled with anisotropically conductive polymer composite (ACPC). CNTs were first premixed with polycarbonate (PC) by coagulation and then melt mixed with polyethylene (PE). During extrusion, t…
Abstract Polyester urethane networks are versatile polymer systems as it is possible to tailor their mechanical properties and their hydrolytic degradation profile. For biomedical applications, the biodegradability as well as the thermomechanical properties of the polymer networks during the course of degradation is o…
