Nanoporous composite films of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and polyaniline (PAn) were grown electrochemically from acidic aqueous solutions, such that the constituents were deposited simultaneously onto graphite electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the composite films consisted of nano…
Abstract Supergene leaching, oxidation, and chalcocite enrichment in porphyry and related Cu deposits take place in the weathering environment to depths of several hundred meters. The fundamental chemical principles of su-pergene processes were elucidated during the early decades of the twentieth century, mainly from…
The reason for secretion of nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NdK), an enzyme involved in maintaining the cellular pool of nucleoside triphosphates in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is intriguing. We recently observed that NdK from M.tuberculosis (mNdK) localizes within nuclei of HeLa and…
In intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), the use of cost-effective chromia-forming alloy interconnects such as ferritic stainless steels can lead to severe degradation in cell performance due to chromium migration into the cells at the cathode side. To protect cells from chromium poisoning and impro…
Nanoparicles smaller than 100 nm have been expected to reveal the novel physical and chemical properties that differ from the corresponding bulk materials. And nanoparticles are to be used as constituents for many applications in the various fields. These applications include the electronic, magnetic, optoelectronic a…
Regenerated silk fibroin from Bombyx mori silkworms was extruded into fibers from a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid solvent system; the drawn fibers rinsed in methanol exhibit alignment of the β-sheet crystallites along the fiber axis.
Novel chiral compounds possessing molecular biaxiality, T-shaped and bend-shaped compounds, have been prepared and the physical properties investigated. The T-shaped chiral compound was found to show a blue phase with a wide temperature range on cooling. A double twist structure formed by the T-shaped compound can sta…
To enhance its pseudocapacitance, ruthenium oxide must be formed with a hydrated amorphous and porous structure and a small size, because this structure provides a large surface area and forms conduction paths for protons to easily access even the inner part of the RuO2. In this study, we report that highly dispersed…
The purpose of this paper is to give a short overview of existing technologies regarding phase shifting transformers (PST's). A classification is made based on the symmetrical or asymmetrical and on the direct or indirect character of the PST. As a case-study, the PST's in Meeden, The Netherlands are studied more prof…
A metamaterial balun that converts a single-ended input to a differential output over a large bandwidth is presented. The device also exhibits excellent return loss, isolation, and through characteristics over the same frequency band. The balun comprises a Wilkinson divider, followed by a +90/spl deg/ negative-refract…
This paper presents an overview of the recent literature on flame retardancy of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). A short overview of mechanisms of thermal decomposition of PVC, especially those which lead to char formation, is also presented because this gives insight into the mechanisms of flame retardant action. New deve…
This paper reports the synthesis, characterization, and cellular uptake of the conjugate of porphyrin and iron oxide nanoparticles, which may lead to a bimodal anticancer agent that can be used in the combinational treatment of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hyperthermia therapy (HT).
Paclitaxel-loaded mixed polymeric micelles consisting of poly(ethylene glycol)-distearoyl phosphoethanolamine conjugates (PEG-PE), solid triglycerides (ST), and cationic Lipofectin lipids (LL) have been prepared. Micelles with the optimized composition (PEG-PE/ST/LL/paclitaxel = 12/12/2/1 by weight) had an average mic…
Nanocomposites of starch were prepared via different addition sequences of plasticizer and clay by the solution method. The extent of dispersion of the filler was evaluated by wide angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD) in the resulting composites. Thermal stability, mechanical properties and water absorption studies were…
In this paper we describe a new synthesis strategy for preparing loose-packed porous materials with the particle diameter down scaled to nanometer size. Mesoporous nanocrystalline was prepared using this method, and an attempt was made to apply it as an active electrode material for electrochemical capacitors. The com…
A simple and convenient method for the synthesis of gold, silver and their alloy nanoparticles in a foam matrix using the protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) is reported. BSA is an excellent foaming agent and,by virtue of its zwitterionic character at the protein isoelectric point, may be used to bind to either cationi…
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 using a range of Au, Pd and Au–Pd metal nanoparticles supported on iron oxide is described and discussed, and in particular the microstructure of the catalysts are investigated using a detailed electron microscopy study. Iron oxide was selected as a support beca…
Several proposed applications of thermoelectric (TE) waste heat recovery devices in the automotive industry are reviewed. To assess the feasibility of these applications at a vehicle level, the effect of electrical load and weight on fuel economy for a series of cars and trucks was investigated. These results will hel…
Switching between superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity in porous materials was predicted theoretically and demonstrated experimentally with the example of thermally induced contact angle change; tunability of this system was also demonstrated.
Abstract A novel method for the preparation of transparent conducting‐polymer patterns on flexible substrates is presented. This method, line patterning, employs mostly standard office equipment, such as drawing software, a laser printer, and commercial overhead transparencies, together with a solution or dispersion o…
