We put forward a theoretical model for the morphological transitions of templated mesoporous materials. These materials consist of a mixture of surfactant molecules and inorganic compounds which evolve dynamically upon mixing to form different morphologies depending on the composition and conditions at which mixing oc…
Two novel derivatives of TTDA (3,6,10-tri(carboxymethyl)-3,6,10-triazadodecanedioic acid), TTDA-BOM and TTDA-N'-BOM, each having a benzyloxymethyl group, were synthesized. (17)O NMR longitudinal and transverse relaxation rates and chemical shifts of aqueous solutions of their Gd(III) complexes were measured at variabl…
Ag/alumina catalysts with different silver loading (1.28-6 wt %) for lean NO reduction activity were prepared by impregnation and the incipient wetness method. Complementary HRTEM, HAADF, O2-chemisorption, and EDXS studies were applied to investigate the dependence between silver particle size and catalytic activities…
The role of the central atom X in the structure and reactivity of di-Ru-substituted gamma-Keggin polyoxometalates (POMs), gamma-[(Xn+O4)RuIII2(OH)2(MFM)10O32](8-n)-), where MFM = Mo and W, and X = AlIII, SiIV, PV, and SVI., was computationally investigated. It was shown that for both MFM = Mo and W the nature of X is…
We propose a new geometry for an optical sensor that is based on porous silicon structures. The sensitivity of the sensor is enhanced compared to the conventional surface plasmon resonance based sensors.
The use of ultra high voltage direct current (UHVDC), i.e. voltages above the highest in use, 600 kV, has been found to be economically attractive for power blocks up to 6000 MW for distances above 1000 km, Furthermore the use of 800 kV as transmission voltage will be achievable within the near future with a limited a…
Chitin derivatives having normalacyl groups (C(n)H(2n-1)O-; n = 4-20) were synthesized with pyridine, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, and normal alkanoic acid in an N,N-dimethylacetamide-lithium chloride homogeneous system. The products (C(n)-ACs; degree of acyl substitution, DS = 1.7-1.9) showed an n-dependent thermal tr…
This investigation aimed to clarify the issue of whether polymer chains are entangled in ultrathin films spin-coated onto substrates. This was done using a fluorescence probe method to observe the behavior of two types of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), one having a carbazolyl (Cz) moiety (PMMA-Cz) and the other hav…
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) was mineralized in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) complex hydrogel immersed in a salt solution containing PAA. The transparent HAP/polymer composite swelled in water depending on the HAP content; high HAP content gave small swelling and vice versa. The HAP content reached about…
Abstract We observed near-field images of aggregates of gold nanospheres, by detecting TPI-PL from gold and Raman scattering from Rhodamine 6G adsorbed on the nanoparticles. The results were analyzed in relation to the localized Raman active site (hot spot) of surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
Employing high-resolution (13)C solution NMR and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic techniques, the distinctive influence of two intimately related hexafluoro solvents, 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) and hexafluoroacetone trihydrate (HFA), on the structural characteristics of Bombyx mori (B. mori) silk fi…
Polyaromatic molecules, such as rhodamine 6G and methylene blue, were found capable of precipitating DNA-solubilized single-walled carbon nanotubes from solution through a competitive binding mechanism whereby DNA is displaced from the nanotube surface, allowing the nanotubes to rebundle. This delamination of DNA also…
Ferromagnetic self-assembled alpha-MnAs quantum dots (QD) were grown epitaxially on metal catalyst-grown InAs nanowires (NW) by chemical vapor deposition. Magnetic force microscopy measurements demonstrated that the QDs are stable, single-domain ferromagnets with T(c) values of approximately 310 K. Single QD switching…
Propene-hexene copolymers crystallize in a new polymorphic form of isotactic polypropylene when the concentration of hexene is higher than nearly 10-15 mol %. The hexene units are included in the crystals, inducing an increase of density that allows crystallization of 3-fold helical chains in a trigonal unit cell acco…
We report on the use of simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) nanocasting routes to simultaneously control the morphology, pore size, and graphitization in structurally well-ordered mesoporous carbons. Mesoporous silica SBA-15 rods were used as hard templates to nanocast mesostructured carbon nanorods and nanotubules…
The corrosion properties of bulk nanocrystalline ingot iron (BNII) fabricated from conventional polycrystalline ingot iron (CPII) by severe rolling were investigated by means of immersion test, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM…
The suitability of amino acids and dipeptides as structure-directing agents for the deposition of coatings from aqueous solutions of zinc salts is discussed. According to a bio-inspired approach, the influence of these biomolecules was investigated with respect to the evolution of architectures based on zinc oxide and…
A liquid crystal (LC) lens with focal length variable from negative to positive is reported. There are three electrodes in the LC cell. One electrode has a circular hole in the center. The lens is driven by two voltages that produce a spatially nonuniform and symmetrical electric field in the LC layer. By adjusting th…
The energy relaxation of the electrons in the conduction band of 12 and 30 nm diameter copper nanoparticles in colloidal solution was investigated using femtosecond time-resolved transient spectroscopy. Experimental results show that the hot electron energy relaxation is faster in 12 nm copper nanoparticles (0.37 ps)…
We report the effect of aggregation in gold nanoparticles on their ultrafast electron-phonon relaxation dynamics measured by femtosecond transient absorption pump-probe spectroscopy. UV-visible extinction and transient absorption of the solution-stable aggregates of gold nanoparticles show a broad absorption in the 55…
