The reaction of [Ti(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)Cl(2)] (1), with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane or 3-mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane in the presence of triethylamine leads to the formation of the thiolate complexes [Ti(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2){SCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)Si(OMe)(3)}(2)] (2) and [Ti(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2){SCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)Si(OEt)(3…
This work examines the adhesion properties of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) and black spruce (Picea mariana) wood surfaces following their exposure to a dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure. Freshly sanded wood samples were treated in Ar, O2, N2 and CO2-containing plasmas and then coated with a waterbor…
Following a strong demand for novel α-Al2O3 nano-materials with unique properties, both pure and doped nano-sheets, nano-needles, and nanosized equiaxed particles (reference) of 100% phase-pure α-Al2O3, were synthesized at 430–450 °C under 10.3 MPa pressure by the hydrothermal treatment of boehmite powder (γ-AlOOH) in…
We report here two series of coordination polymer chains: the first being [M(II)(ox)(bnz)(2)](n) (M = Mn 1, Fe 2, Co 3, Ni 4, Cu 5 and Zn 6; ox = oxalate C(2)O(4)(2-); bnz = benzimidazole) and the second [M(II)(ox)(btz)(2)](n) (M = Mn 7, Fe 8, Co 9, Ni 10, Cu 11 and Zn 12; btz = benzotriazole). The first series displa…
Composites of flour from different lignocellulosic sources with high-density polyethylene were prepared, and their water absorption and flexural properties were studied. Flour samples from loblolly pine, hybrid Euro-American poplar, and wheat straw were mixed with the polymer at 35 wt % lignocellulosics content and ei…
Surface chemistry of as-prepared 3CSiC nanoparticles obtained by electrochemical etching of bulk 3CSiC substrates was studied. Chemical environment was found to influence strongly the photoinduced electronic transitions in the 3CSiC nanoparticles. The influence of different interfacial chemical environments of the…

Extensive efforts to resolve the degradation normally associated with solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) have been conducted during the past decade. To date, the degradation is assumed to be caused by adsorption of impurities in the cathode, although no firm evidence for this degradation mechanism has been present…
A manganese single-chain magnet, [Mn(6)O(2)(4-MeOsalox)(6)(N(3))(2)(MeOH)(4)](n) (4-MeO-H(2)salox = 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde oxime), is synthesized via the assembly of Mn(6) single-molecule magnets, which exhibits a large magnetic coercivity.
Dietary related diseases are on the increase. Colloids play an important role in food structuring, stability through the distribution chain, and delivery of in use properties, taste and flavour, and nutrition. In the future it is imperative that foods are constructed to deliver the desired performance and sensations,…
With large surface-to-volume ratios and Debye length comparable to their small size, one-dimensional nanostructures have been extensively studied and have been widely used to fabricate many high-performance and new type nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. In this work, we provide a comprehensive review on…
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles of different size are prepared using a flow system. Post-synthesis stabilization with a layer of poly[(α,β)-dl-aspartic acid] leads to stabilization of the ACC, but only for particles <100 nm. Larger and uncoated particles readily convert into the crystalline forms of Ca…
Five new rare earth complexes with a new flexible tripodal salicylic ligand (H(3)L), 2,2'-(2-((2-carboxyphenoxy)methyl)-2-(4-methylphenylsulfonamido)propane-1,3-diyl)bis(oxy)dibenzoic acid, of formulae [La(2)L(2)(DMF)(4)]·4DMF·4EtOH·2H(2)O (1), [Eu(2)L(2)(DMF)(4)]·2DMF (2), {[GdL(DMF)(H(2)O)(2)]·DMF}(∞) (3), {[TbL(DMF…
We use photo-electrons as a non-contact probe to measure local electrical potentials in a solid-oxide electrochemical cell. We characterize the cell in operando at near-ambient pressure using spatially-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The overpotentials at the interfaces between the Ni and Pt electrodes and…
Novel well-defined drug-grafted seven-arm amphiphilic star poly(ε-caprolactone-co-carbonate)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)s based on a β-CD core [CDS-P(CL-co-DTC)-D-b-PEG] have been synthesized by the combination of controlled ring-opening polymerization (CROP), esterification coupling reactions and “click” reactions. First…
Au nanoparticles with small sizes (2-3 nm) were effectively stabilized in the mesopores of (S)-(-)-2-pyrrolidinone-5-carboxylic acid-modified SBA-15, which showed superior catalytic properties in aerobic oxidation of alcohols, compared with pyrrolidone-free SBA-15 supported Au catalysts.
Layer-by-layer assembled multilayer films composed of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and titania nanosheets were constructed on a glass or ITO substrate in an arbitrary layering order. Coverage of Au NPs with 1 to 3 layers of titania nanosheets enhances their plasmon resonance-based absorption and photocurrents. Absorpti…
Reversible operation of a microtubular solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with high electrochemical efficiency is reported. These devices can ideally produce hydrogen from electricity and steam [solid oxide electrolyser (SOE)] and then use the stored hydrogen to generate electricity and heat (SOFC), acting as a storage devi…
A synthetic strategy for magnetite crystallite size control is reported, along with the detailed characterization and electrochemical measurements of samples of varying crystallite sizes. Nanocrystalline is prepared by coprecipitation induced by triethylamine from aqueous iron(II) and iron(III) chloride solutions of v…
Electrostatic self-assembly is an important area presenting fascinating opportunities for the design of functional and responsive nanostructures. In this contribution we highlight a recent approach that allows the formation of nanoscale assemblies with a variety of shapes – spheres, rods, hollow spheres, networks and…
