Poly(methyl methacrylate)/multiwalled carbon-nanotube (PMMA/MWNT) nanocomposites were prepared via in situ polymerization induced by nickel(II) acetylacetonate/methylaluminoxane ([Ni(acac) 2 ]/MAO) catalyst. The incorporation of the MWNT into the PMMA increased the glass transition temperature and thermal decompositio…

VIBRATE! is a computer program that uses group theory to carry out factor group analysis of a crystal structure. The symmetry species of the normal modes of vibration are derived, together with information relating to the symmetry-adapted vectors. The program is simple to use, relying on input mainly from a crystallog…

Abstract The effect of pretreating Au–Pd catalysts on MgO and C supports with aqueous bromide solution, prior to using them for the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide, has been investigated. These two supports were selected since the parent materials exhibit contrasting microstructures and activities. The carbon‐su…

The interactions of phenyldithioesters with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been studied by monitoring changes in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), depolarised light scattering, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Changes in the SPR indicated that an AuNP-phenyldithioester charge transfer complex forms…
