Ein lyotropes Analogon zur ferroelektrischen smektischen C*-Phase wurde erstmals gefunden. Die lyotrope smektische C*-Phase zeigt makroskopische Chiralitätseffekte, z. B. einen helikalen Grundzustand und polaritätsabhängiges elektrooptisches Schalten, was auf das Vorhandensein einer spontanen elektrischen Polarisation…
The range of applications of cellulose, a glucose-based polysaccharide, is limited by its inherently poor mechanical properties. The grafting of synthetic polymer chains by, for example, a "grafting from" process may provide the means to broaden the range of applications. The nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) me…
Au nanoparticles coated with glutathione (GSH) were prepared by the heat-assisted reduction of Au(I)-thiol complex at 1:1 or 5:4 molar ratio of Au to GSH. The 1:1 sample has three emissions at 610, 645 and 800 nm while the 5:4 sample has a dominant emission at 800 nm but the two emissions at 610 and 645 nm are very we…
BACKGROUND: The area of biodegradable/sustainable polymers is one of increasing importance in the 21st Century due to their positive environmental characteristics. Lewis acidic metal centres are currently one of the most popular choices for the initiator for the polymerisation. Thus, in this paper we report the synthe…
(La,Sr)MnO3 (LSMO) nanolayers with various crystallographic textures were grown on the sapphire substrate with and without In2O3 epitaxial buffering. The LSMO nanolayer with In2O3 epitaxial buffering has a (110) preferred orientation. However, the nanolayer without buffering shows a highly (100)-oriented texture. Deta…
A novel hierarchical nanotemplated carbon monolithic rod (NTCM) was prepared using a novel facile nanotemplating approach. The NTCM was obtained using C60-fullerene modified silica gels as hard templates, which were embedded in a phenolic resin containing a metal catalyst for localized graphitization, followed by bulk…
The aim of this work is to study the influence of electron beam irradiation on the structure of polypropylene (PP)/polybutene‐1 (PB‐1) blend in the branching process. The blend with 10 wt% of PB‐1 and 0.5 wt% trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate monomer is prepared and irradiated at different doses. The rheological prop…
A MEMS lamination technology based on sequential multilayer electrodeposition is presented. The process comprises three main steps: (1) automated sequential electrodeposition of permalloy (Ni 80 Fe 20 ) structural and copper sacrificial layers to form multilayer structures of significant total thickness; (2) fabricati…
Water-soluble magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate in poly(ethylene glycol) in the presence of poly(ethylene imine). The amount of poly(ethylene imine), the reaction temperature and time are found to have significant effects on the shape evolution and size dist…
Three representative polymers of increasing modulus, poly(d,l-lactic acid), PDLLA, poly(desaminotyrosyl-tyrosine ethyl ester carbonate), PDTEC, and the same polymer with iodinated DTE segments, PI2DTEC, were characterized by surface-pressure versus area (Π-A) isotherms and surface sensitive X-ray diffraction technique…
We present detailed magnetometry and muon-spin rotation data on polycrystalline samples of overdoped, nonsuperconducting LiFe${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Ni${}_{x}$As ($x=0.1,0.2$) and Li${}_{1\ensuremath{-}y}$Fe${}_{1+y}$As ($0\ensuremath{\le}y\ensuremath{\le}0.04$) as well as superconducting LiFeAs. While LiFe${}_{1\ensur…
Two strategies are demonstrated to fabricate AgNPs/PVA and AgNPs/(PVA/PEI) nanofibre hybrids. In the first approach, we synthesized AgNPs in poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) solution and then electrospun the AgNPs/PVA solution into the AgNPs/PVA nanofibres. In the other one, the polyethylenimine (PEI) was introduced to improv…
We obtain estimates for critical nematic liquid crystal (LC) temperatures under the action of a slowly varying temperature-dependent control variable. We show that biaxiality has a negligible effect within our model and that these delay estimates are well described by a purely uniaxial model. The static theory predict…
An ultraviolet (UV) heterojunction photodetector was fabricated from multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/zinc-oxide nanowires (NWs)/p-GaN composite structure. The photodetector demonstrated significant rectifying characteristics and relative fast transient response with response time on the order of milliseconds. Un…
The processes by which organisms deposit a mineral phase imply always the existence of an organic interface, does not matter the degree of control exerted. Thus adsorption phenomena, chemical and/or physical, are pivotal in the understanding of biomineralization processes. In this paper a general overview of the biomi…
We have studied the structure and magnetoresistive properties of polycrystalline current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance pseudo spin-valves (PSVs) with Co2Mn(Ga0.25Ge0.75) (CMGG) ferromagnetic layers and a Ag spacer. With (110) textured CMGG thin films and (111) textured Ag spacer, the PSVs annealed at…
The structural stability of ScC and YC has been analyzed under hydrostatic compression employing the first-principles calculations using the plane-wave pseudopotential method. The comparison of theoretically calculated enthalpies of rocksalt type (B1), primitive orthorhombic (Pmmn), and CsCl type (B2) structures as a…
Porosimetry is a fundamental characterization technique used in development of new porous materials for catalysis, membrane separation, and adsorptive gas storage. Conventional methods like nitrogen and argon adsorption at cryogenic temperatures suffer from slow adsorption dynamics especially for microporous materials…
Scanning force microscopy and near-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy are used to study the attachment of Protoporphyrin IX dye molecules to the low-index single-crystal faces of ZnO, namely, the polar (0001̅) face and the nonpolar (101̅0) face. We found that surface etching depends on the crystal face for various dye…
Austenitic stainless steels are the main materials of construction in nuclear spent fuel reprocessing and waste management plants that use nitric acid (HNO3) as the process fluid. In this study, it has been shown that the potential, attained either by addition of oxidizing ions or by external application, determines t…
