Temperature-induced non-monotonous reversible deformation of water-filled nanoporous silica materials is investigated experimentally using in-situ small-angle x-ray scattering. The influence of freezing and melting in the nanopores on this deformation is treated quantitatively by introducing a simple model based on th…

Abstract Waste polymer reconditioning was examined by a method of dissolution/reprecipitation on low- and high-density polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). Toluene and petroleum ether, in different proportions, were used as solvents, and n-hexane was used as a non-solvent. Commercial polymer products used on an e…

In the theory of dislocations, the Burgers vector is usually defined by referring to a crystal structure. Using the notion of affine development of curves on a differential manifold with a connection, we give a differential geometric definition of the Burgers vector directly in the continuum setting, without making us…

Semiconductor quantum dots (QD) have been widely used for fluorescent bioimaging. However their biosafety has attracted increasing attention, since the data about their in vivo behavior in biological systems are still limited. In this paper we have investigated the short- and long-term biodistribution of intact fluore…

The <1 μm fraction of a trans-vacant 1M illite (RM30) was studied by conventional and synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques, combined with thermogravimetric (TG, DTG) methods to investigate the structural transformation of illite at different temperatures and degrees of dehydroxylation (D T ). The oriented…

We report on the charging of individual graphene oxide (GO) sheets with varied degrees of reduction by using electrically biased atomic force microscope (AFM) tips. AFM measurements indicate that the apparent height of reduced GO (rGO) sheets increases sharply after charging, while the charging ability is enhanced whe…

We measured energy distribution and yields of electrons emitted from graphene adsorbed on a Ni(111) surface under the impact of 200–1200 eV electrons. The adsorption of graphene results in significant changes of the spectra of emitted electrons but not of the total emission yields. The electronic structure of the grap…
