Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) filled polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were fabricated in order to form conducting pathways at a low CNT loading. It was found that addition of CNTs would lead to a drastic degradation of POM in the melt−mixing process. The effects of CNTs on the processing stability of POM were investigated…

TEM specimens of a LaAlO(3)/SrTiO(3) multilayer are prepared by FIB with internal lift out. Using a Ga(+1) beam of 5 kV, a final cleaning step yielding top, top-angle, side, and bottom-angle cleaning is performed. Different cleaning procedures, which can be easily implemented in a dual beam FIB system, are described a…

The selective synthesis of tri- and dichlorotitanium species containing chiral tridentate Schiff base ligands, derived from (1R,2S)-(-)-1-aminoindanol, was achieved by changing the solvent. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that chlorotitanium complexes are monomeric and octahedral with the meridional occupation of…

ABn-type monomers have been widely used for the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers. These monomers, however, suffer from the problems associated with the tendency of their mutually reactive A and B functional groups toward self-oligomerization. We have explored the possibility of synthesizing hyperbranched polymers u…

The H2 permeation of a supported 2 microm thick Pd48Cu52 membrane was investigated between 373 and 909 K at DeltaP=0.1 MPa. The initial H2 flux was 0.3 mol.m(-2).s(-1) at 723 K with an ideal H2/N2 selectivity better than 5000. The membrane underwent a bcc-fcc (body-centered cubic to face-centered cubic) phase transiti…

In the present contribution, electrospinning (e-spinning) was used to fabricate ultra-fine fibers of silk fibroin (SF) from cocoons of indigenous Thai silkworms (Nang-Lai) and Chinese/Japanese hybrid silkworms (DOAE-7). The effects of solution concentration (i.e., 10-40% (w/v) in 85% (v/v) formic acid) and applied ele…

Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP), a nonionic and nontoxic polymer with antifouling properties, has been synthesized via RAFT polymerization to obtain thiol-terminated PVP. We demonstrate that when the polymer is adsorbed onto the surface of colloidal silica particles, the terminal thiol groups of PVP remain accessible for…

When low-energy electrons strike a titanium dioxide surface, they may cause the desorption of surface oxygen. Oxygen vacancies that result from irradiating a TiO2(011)-2x1 surface with electrons with an energy of 300 electron volts were analyzed by scanning tunneling microscopy. The cross section for desorbing oxygen…

We describe a peculiar fine structure acquired by the in-plane optical phonon at the Gamma point in graphene when it is brought into resonance with one of the inter-Landau-level transitions in this material. The effect is most pronounced when this lattice mode (associated with the G band in graphene Raman spectrum) is…
