The early stage of the morphology development has been studied for the blending of two immiscible polymers. Controlled experiments were carried out in a batch mixer in such a way that the rate of melting was low enough to follow up the morphology development of dilute and concentrated systems. For a dilute or semidilu…
Textured bulk ceramics of the layer-structured homologous compound (ZnO)5In2O3 were fabricated by the reactive templated grain growth (RTGG) technique and the thermoelectric properties evaluated. Plate-like ZnSO4·3Zn(OH)2 particles were mixed with In2O3 powders and the mixture was tape cast to form a sheet, such that…
Hollow spheres of MCM-41 mesoporous aluminosilicates, with two small holes on the shell, have been synthesized from a surfactant-aluminosilicate gel composite.
A recently developed method for fitting a Monte Carlo computer-simulation model to observed single-crystal diffuse X-ray scattering has been used to study the diffuse scattering in benzil, diphenylethanedione, C(6)H(5)-CO-CO-C(6)H(5). A model involving 13 parameters consisting of 11 intermolecular force constants, a s…
Lithiated NiO cathode dissolution has been a major problem for the development of molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs). Many studies have been contributed to find new alternative cathodes; here, lithium cobalt oxide, LiCoO2, was coated onto the commonly used NiO cathode by the electroplating method and the resulting ca…
Mesoporous aluminosilicate MCM-41 with improved steam stability may be prepared by grafting Al onto pure silica MCM-41 materials that possess thick pore walls.
The global minima of clusters bound by a Dzugutov potential form non-compact polytetrahedral clusters mainly composed of interpenetrating and face-sharing 13-atom icosahedra. As the size increases, these icosahedral units first form linear arrays, then two-dimensional rings, then three-dimensional networks. Characteri…
Using a high-temperature organic solution reduction method, highly crystalline and single domain bismuth nanoparticles have been synthesized and self-assembled.
The development of molecular orientation and crystallization was studied during uniaxial drawing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films, which was immediately followed by subsequent taut annealing at the drawing temperature. The behavior was monitored in real time throughout the drawing and annealing using dynami…
Titanium content in mesoporous titanosilicate catalysts has been modulated up to a minimum Si/Ti value of 1.9 by using complexing agents able to coordinate both Si and Ti atoms and harmonize the reactivity of the resulting precursors avoiding subsequent phase segregation and leading to chemically very homogeneous mate…
Nanoporous ZnO films have been electrodeposited on transparent conductive supports using an electrolyte of and in propylene carbonate (PC). Varying the salt concentrations, water content, and voltage gives wide control over the morphology and porosity of the films. For 0.15 M and 0.05 M ZnCl, the resulting ZnO films c…
A series of oligomaltose surfactant polymers were prepared by the simultaneous coupling of hydrophilic maltolactone [of 2(M2), 7(M7), or 15(M15) glucose units] and hydrophobic N-(hexanoyloxy)succinimide (Hex) groups to the amino groups of a poly(vinyl amine) backbone. The surfactants were characterized by FTIR and 1H-…
Quaternary Znx′Cdy′Mg1−x′−y′Se/ZnxCdyMg1−x−ySe quantum well (QW) structures in which both the well and the barrier layers are composed of quaternary alloys lattice matched to InP and having various well thicknesses have been grown and investigated. A blue emission with narrow linewidth was achieved by using a relative…
The use of renewable resources (mainly carbohydrates) in rigid polyurethane foam has been known to offer several advantages, such as increased strength, improved flame resistance, and enhanced biodegradability. Less attention has been directed to inexpensive protein-based materials, such as defatted soy flour. The obj…
A novel and fundamental reaction system of matter following a type of ‘supramolecular Darwinism’ leads to the formation of giant spherical nano-sized cluster capsules as kinetically controlled destination having the highest possible symmetry (Ih) and formed directly from the decomposition products of the well known bu…
This work has been undertaken to study the cell behavior of L929 fibroblasts on the laser irradiated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surface. To modify the surface properties of the PET, CO2 pulsed laser at the wavelength of 9.25 microm and KrF excimer laser at 248 nm with various number of pulses were used. Laser ir…
The large-pore nickel(II) phosphate, VSB-1, shows excellent selectivity (>80%) for the dehydrocyclodimerization of butadiene to ethylbenzene at 400 °C; conversion to 4-vinylcyclohexene and oligomeric byproducts is <5% in each case.
Reaction of doubly negatively charged m-pyridinediyl spacered bis-bidentate ligands with iron(III) chloride in the presence of alkaline, alkaline earth, and rare earth metal cations (Mn+) yielded {2}-iron cryptates {M⊂[Fe2(L)3]}n+. The mono-, di-, and tri-valent guest cations are endohedrally encapsulated in the cavit…
We prepared a set of polycrystalline samples of the thermoelectric oxide Na 1.2 Co 2- x Cu x O 4 ( x =0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3), and investigated the Cu substitution effects on their thermoelectric properties. The substituted Cu significantly enhances the thermopower over the temperature range from 4 to 300 K, whereas it d…
The actuality of the topics of the book is given by the developments in an emerging field of interdisciplinary applied research called biomolecular electronics. This young and dynamically developing discipline has grown out of the field of conventinal electronics and computer technology. From the early 1960s on, the a…
