A water-soluble, blocked diisocyante was used to cross-link chitosan under various degrees of solvation, including hydration to form hydrogels. Thermal cross-linking of films cast from various amounts of organic cosolvents was found to increase with increased level of cosolvent up to a solvation level of 17% (w/w) and…

Factors that influence aggregation of lanthanide(III) (Ln(III)) ions to form polynuclear complexes were studied utilizing 1-aziridineethanol as a versatile source of macrocyclic and acyclic chelates. The facile ring-opening cyclo-oligomerization of 1-aziridineethanol leads to the formation of a series of polyaza cycli…

A novel template synthesis of bone-shaped (dumbbell-shaped, dogbone-shaped) nanomaterials is demonstrated. Porous anodic alumina (PAA) templates with uniform nanochannels were fabricated using a four-step anodization process and used to form bone-shaped carbon nanostructures with stem and end diameters and lengths of…

A feature of the skin of many vertebrates is the presence of open grooves with characteristic intersecting geometric patterns. Here, we measure flows within the fine channels on the human skin surface and demonstrate that this network can act as a microfluidic device to allow the surface transport of liquids. Adapting…

Neutral double-stranded helicates and molecular triangles and squares are formed through the self-assembly of spacer-bridged bis(pyrrol-2-ylmethyleneamine) ligands and ZnII ions (see scheme). The steric requirements of the Zn centers and the size and relative flexibility of the ligands dictate the degree of associatio…

Abstract Polyethylene (PE)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ coordination polymerization using a MMT/MgCl 2 /TiCl 4 catalyst activated by Al(Et) 3 . The catalyst was prepared by first diffusing MgCl 2 into the swollen MMT layers, followed by loading TiCl 4 on the inner/outer layer surfaces…

Ru(III) and Ni(II) ammine complexes were grafted onto the pore surface of MCM-41 by ion exchange from basic aqueous solution. Covalent anchoring of the type M−O−Si (M = Ru or Ni) is obtained by this method. The structure of the grafted complexes was studied by UV−vis, FT-IR, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. [Ru(NH 3…

CeO 2 -based binary oxides catalyzed the cyclization of 1,6-hexanediol into cyclopentanone at temperatures of 400–475 °C. CeO 2 -based solid solution with Mn content of 20 mol% shows the highest catalytic activity, both conversion and selectivity, while both pure CeO 2 and Mn 2 O 3 have the cyclization ability of 1,6-…

Small gold (5 nm) and zirconia (2−3 nm) particles inside the mesopores of SBA-15 were visualized with bright-field electron tomography. Due to the ordered nature of the mesopores and the related diffraction contrast present in the tilt series, the 3D-reconstruction is difficult to interpret. Unequivocal information ha…
