A new procedure for the preparation of nanosized In(OH) 3 particles in high concentrations without added surfactants is described. The process is based on the peptization of In(OH) 3 dispersions consisting of micrometer colloids, which are obtained by the hydrolysis of InCl 3 in ethylene glycol to which aqueous sodium…
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray reflectivity (XR) have been used together to provide a detailed and direct look at the structure of human serum albumin protein adsorbed onto well-characterized self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surfaces at several protein concentrations. The duration of SAM deposition was also var…
A polyamide 6 (PA 6)/silica nanocomposite was obtained through a novel method, in situ polymerization, by first suspending silica particles in ϵ-caproamide under stirring and then polymerizing this mixture at high temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The silicas were premodified with aminobutyric acid prior to the…
Jute fibers were chopped to approximately 100 mm in length and then processed through a granulator having an 8-mm screen. Final fiber lengths were up to 10 mm maximum. These fibers along with polypropylene granules and a compatibilizer were mixed in a K-mixer at a fixed rpm, 5500, and dumped at a fixed temperature, 39…

A series of dual polymer electrochromic devices (ECDs) based on 12 complementary pairs of conducting polymer films have been constructed using 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-containing conducting polymers. Poly[3,6-bis(2-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene))- N -methylcarbazole] (PBEDOT-NCH 3 Cz), poly[3,6-bis(2-(3,4-ethylenediox…
Efficacious metal control of self-assembly of dialkylketipinate dianions leads to completely different supramolecular assemblies. The structures of grid 1, double-decker 2, triple-decker 3, and metalla-spherand 4 were characterized by X-ray crystallographic analyses or by NMR spectroscopy.
Crystallization in an electric field leads to highly stable films of tetranitrotetrapropoxycalix[4]arene (shown on the right) with second-order nonlinear optical properties. The ordered noncentrosymmetric packing of the molecules in these films was elucidated by a combination of X-ray diffraction, angle-dependent seco…
A short discussion of theoretical calculations of the optical properties of quasi-one and quasi-bidimensional molecular crystals is presented. Special attention is devoted to the electron–molecular vibration coupling which is analyzed in charge-transfer salts with tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives (including giant…
A lubrication analysis is presented for the near-contact axisymmetric motion of spherical drops covered with an insoluble non-diffusing surfactant. Detailed results are presented for the surfactant distribution, the interfacial velocity, and the gap width between the drop surfaces. The effect of surfactant is characte…
Rigid, star-shaped D 3 -symmetric arrays have been synthesized in which three porphyrin macrocycles are attached to the 1, 3, and 5 positions each of a benzene core through linkers consisting of collinear repetitive phenylethynyl units. Using the same methodology, a dendridic porphyrin hexamer having an external diame…
The first principles tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method within the local density approximation was used to calculate the electronic band structures and the total energies of CaS, CaSe and CaTe in NaCl-type and CsCl-type structures. The total energies were used to calculate the ground state properties such…
Model sets (or cut and project sets) provide a familiar and commonly used method of constructing and studying nonperiodic point sets. Here we extend this method to situations where the internal spaces are no longer Euclidean, but instead spaces with p -adic topologies or even with mixed Euclidean/ p -adic topologies.…
Diamond powder was synthesized through a metallic reduction-pyrolysis-catalysis route with the reaction of carbon tetrachloride and sodium at 700 degreesC, in which the sodium was used as reductant and flux. This temperature is much lower than that of traditional methods. The x-ray powder diffraction patterns showed t…
Some practical guidelines for the design of novel low-band-gap systems. Various donor–acceptor π-conjugated oligomers with different chain lengths containing electron-donating thiophene or pyrrole rings and electron-withdrawing 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (like the one shown here) or quinoxaline rings have been synthesized…
High-performance, bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts (M1+M2) were obtained by gentle thermolysis of their precursor metal-cluster carbonylates physisorbed inside the mesoporous channels of silica (the hexagons in the figure). The Cu–Ru catalyst anchored on silica is stable in use and has been tested in the catalytic hy…
The X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) has been measured at the Co K edge in Co-hcp and R-Co compounds (R=La, Tb, Dy). The structure of the experimental XMCD spectra in the near-edge region has been observed to be highly sensitive to the magnetic environment of the absorbing site. Calculations of the XMCD have b…
The scattering from crystals can be divided into two parts: Bragg scattering and diffuse scattering. The analysis of Bragg diffraction data gives only information about the average structure of the crystal. The interpretation of diffuse scattering is in general a more difficult task. A recent approach of analysing dif…
A materials selection methodology and its software implementation, developed to aid the designer in making environmentally conscious decisions early in the design process, is described.
A diffraction grating technology based upon volume-phase holograms shows promise of enhanced performance for many applications in astronomical spectroscopy over classical surface-relief grating technology. We present a discussion of the underlying physics of a volume-phase grating, give some theoretical performance ch…
