The combined effects of alkali and ultrasound treatment of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polypropylene-based wood/plastic composites (WPCs) were examined. FT-IR measurements confirmed that the alkali treatment removed both hemicellulose and lignin from the wood, and there was an increase in the number of…

Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been used to detect specific pterin molecules at sub-nanomolar concentrations. SERS is fast becoming a widely used technique for the sensitive and specific detection of multiple analytes. The information-rich and concentration-dependent spectra obtained from SERS make the t…

We develop a mesoscopic density functional theory (DFT)-based Monte-Carlo approach for studying the phase behaviour of multi-component systems comprised of irreversibly bonded, conventional macromolecules and supramolecular entities. The latter can reversibly associate with each other and the conventional components t…

Optothermal conversion mediated by gold nanoparticles was exploited to generate localized Au/TiO2 inverse opal structures in direct opal substrates. The local enhancement of the electromagnetic field made these nanostructures active sites for SERS and contributed to boosting the efficiency of some reactions, such as t…

Phenol‐based novolac resins were synthesized with different mole ratios of phenol‐to‐formaldehyde. These novolac resins were epoxidized with molar excess of epichlorohydrin at 120 °C in basic medium. Novolac and epoxy novolac resin were characterized by FTIR, NMR and GPC analysis. Molecular weight was found to be 838.…

An analytic theory for the electromagnetic scattering from a coated perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) sphere is developed. The sphere is characterized by its M parameter, and the coating material by its permittivity and permeability, which may attain arbitrary values, including negative ones. The theory is appl…

Abstract Superhydrophobicity is dependent on both the surface energy and the texture of the surface. These factors are discussed in terms of a series of electrospun poly(methyl methacrylate)-graft-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PMMA- g -PDMS) copolymers with different poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) content. These copolymers a…
