An increase in nanomaterial applications will likely lead to an increased probability of environmental exposures, raising concerns regarding the safety of these materials. Recent studies have indicated that manufactured nanomaterials, such as metal oxides, have the potential to be harmful to aquatic and terrestrial or…
In this work, we have synthesized eccentric Au@TiO(2) core-shell nanostructures and demonstrated their multiple reuse in the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
Efficient catalysts for the dehydrocoupling or dehydropolymerisation of H(3)B·NMe(x)H((3-x)) (x = 1, 2) have been developed by variation of the P-Rh-P angle in {Rh(Ph(2)P(CH(2))(n)PPh(2))}(+) fragments (n = 2-5).
We report here on an efficient one-step-impregnation method to synthesize crystalline mesoporous bimetal oxides (e.g. NiFe(2)O(4), CuFe(2)O(4), Cu/CeO(2)) using mesoporous silicas as hard templates under optimized mixing conditions. This new procedure enables a true replication of the mesostructure with high yield and…
Recent developments of non-covalent functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) require a systematic understanding of the interaction between molecule and CNTs (CNT-molecular interaction); however, it has been difficult to evaluate the "net" interaction between the CNTs and molecules. We now use silica gel particles…
Studies on new antibacterial therapeutics and strategies are currently being conducted in many microbiological, pharmaceutical and biochemical laboratories. The antibacterial activity of plant-derived compounds as well as silver and gold nanoparticles is the subject of this minireview. The application of photodynamic…
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in aqueous solution is widely used for the preservation of biological tissues under freezing conditions. DMSO and other agents are believed to act colligatively to depress the freezing point of water and, importantly, to promote the vitrification of water to prevent its crystallisation and th…
A novel seed-mediated synthetic route to produce multibranched gold nanoparticles is reported, in which it is possible to precisely tune both their size and nanostructuration, while maintaining an accurate level of monodispersion. The nanoscale control of surface nanoroughness/branching, ranging from small bud-like fe…
The surface structure of Pd(100) during CO oxidation was measured using a combination of a flow reactor and in situ surface X-ray diffraction coupled to a large-area 2-dimensional detector. The surface structure was measured for P(O(2))/P(CO) ratios between 0.6 and 10 at a fixed total gas pressure of 200 mbar and a fi…
We report on a novel, efficient, and one-step approach to prepare single-layer reduced graphene oxide (RGO) suspensions and films using hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The effective chemical reduction of GO was evidenced by a significant increase in the C/O ratio and five orders of magnitude decrease in the GO resistance…
New phases of Zn–Co-layered double hydroxides (Zn–Co-LDHs) were synthesized for the first time via a co-precipitation reaction using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. According to powder X-ray diffraction and field emission-scanning electron microscopy, both nitrate- and sulfate-forms of the Zn–Co-LDHs crystallized wit…
The equilibrium dynamics of a spherical particle immersed in a complex Maxwell fluid is analyzed in terms of velocity autocorrelation function (VACF), mean-square displacement (MSD), and power spectral density (PSD). We elucidate the role of hydrodynamic memory and its interplay with medium viscoelasticity for a free…
The slippage effect at the interface between a confined fluid and the surface around it has a potential application in microfluidic and nanofluidic devices. To investigate the slippage effect of fluid on superhydrophobic surfaces, a series of rheological experiments are carried out for superhydrophobic surfaces coated…
High-yield three dimensional (3D) graphene networks were prepared on Ni foams by ambient pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD). The layer number of graphene can be tuned by changing the gas flow ratio and growth time. The assembled films from the vacuum filtration of the 3D graphene possessed excellent electrica…
This paper presents the design, simulation and measurement of a dual-band terahertz metamaterial absorber with polarization-insensitivity and wide incident angle. The unit cell of the metamaterial consists of top resonator structures and low metallic ground plane, separated by an isolation material spacer to realize b…
A series of amide and ester derivatives of 1,3,6,8-tetraphenylpyrene (TPPy) were prepared, and their solid-state luminescence, molecular packing, and piezochromic responses were studied in order to improve and refine the design concept of piezochromic luminescent materials based on the use of multiple hydrogen bonds a…
Graphene sheets have been functionalized with a PAMAM dendron, finding that graphene can be efficiently functionalized all over the surface, or only at the edges, depending on the reactions used in the functionalization process.
Mg2Si0.5−xSn0.5Sbx(x = 0–0.023) thermoelectric solid solutions have been successfully synthesized by a facile and cost-effective B2O3 flux method in air. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy observations confirm that the single-phased Mg2Si0.5−xSn0.5Sbx compounds have been obtained. The peak pow…
Core-shell TiO(2)@ZnO nanorods (NRs) have been fabricated by a simple two step method: growth of ZnO NRs' array by an aqueous chemical technique and then coating of the NRs with a solution of titanium isopropoxide [Ti(OC(3)H(7))(4)] followed by a heating step to form the shell. The core-shell nanocomposites are compos…
In this paper we report the first use of Al(III) salalen complexes for the ring opening polymerisation of rac-lactide. Polylactides with narrow polydispersities (PDIs range from 1.04-1.65) and moderate degrees of stereoselectivity were formed. Eight salalen Al(III) complexes have been prepared and fully characterised…
