This paper presents the currently available experimental evidence for the occurrence of chiral resolution in bent-core nematic liquid crystals. The observation of chiral domains in these systems is discussed in context with other indications for the unique character of the nematic phase in bent-core materials, which c…

Emulsification of various common oils was investigated using natural β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and its derivatives as emulsifiers. An oil/water (O/W) emulsion was formed using β-CD, whereas a water/oil (W/O) emulsion was formed using tripropanoyl-β-CD and tributanoyl-β-CD derivatives. Triacetyl-β-CD gave rise to both O/W…

A europium probe for the ratiometric detection of potassium in water is presented. This probe demonstrates high sensitivity, with an affinity for K(+) in the mM range, and high selectivity for K(+) over Na(+), Ca(2+), Mg(2+) and Li(+). The long luminescence lifetime of the probe and its large Stokes shift further enab…

The thermal conductivity of layered metal chalcogenides such as <TEX>$MT_2$</TEX> (M = Mo, W; T = S, Se) shows a marked decrease after exfoliation and subsequent restacking process. Random stacking of two-dimensional crystalline sheets circumvents thermal conduction pathways along a longitudinal direction, which resul…

The graft copolymerization of cellulosic biofibers with methyl acrylate (MA) using potassium persulfate (KPS) as initiator has been reported. Various reaction parameters such as monomer, initiator concentration, reaction temperature, time, and amount of solvent were optimized to get the maximum grafting yield. The eff…

The present work aimed to achieve valorization of Albian sands for the preparation of sodium silicates that are commonly used as a precursor to prepare silica gel. A siliceous sand sample was mixed with sodium carbonate and heated at a high temperature (1060 °C) to prepare sodium silicates. The sodium silicates were d…

The sound velocity of some liquid elements of groups IV, V and VI, as reported in the literature, displays anomalous features that set them apart from other liquid metals. In an effort to determine a possible common origin of these anomalies, extensive neutron diffraction measurements of liquid Bi and Sb were carried…

We analyze the spontaneous magnetization reversal of supported monoatomic chains of finite length due to thermal fluctuations via atomistic spin-dynamics simulations. Our approach is based on the integration of the Landau-Lifshitz equation of motion of a classical spin Hamiltonian at the presence of stochastic forces.…

Relaxation rates in the $13mLiNO_3-6,5mCa(NO_3)_2-H_2O$ ternary system have been measured for nuclei of water ($^1H$ and $^{17}O$), anion ($^{14}N$), and both cations ($^7Li$, $^{43}Ca$). The data analysis reveals the system structure as consisting of two main charged units: [Li(H$_2$O)$_4$]$^+$ and [Ca(NO$_3$)$_4$]$^…

Electrospinning is an effective strategy to produce micron and sub-micron diameter fibrous networks from a variety of polymeric systems. Using seven different technical lignins the effect of lignin structure on fiber formation by electrospinning was studied. Surprisingly, none of the technical lignins could be electro…

Abstract Bonded Terfenol‐D composites, with high electrical resistivity and low eddy current loss, can be used in an alternating magnetic field with high frequency. However, the nonmagnetic binder impairs the magnetostriction of the composites. To achieve high magnetostriction and low eddy current loss, the mixture of…
