Single-celled microorganisms such as diatoms and coccolithophores produce inorganic microparticles with genetically controlled hierarchical nanopatterns. Besides serving as paradigms to inspire new routes for materials synthesis, biominerals themselves, particularly diatom biosilica, are increasingly utilized as templ…

ABSTRACT Polycarbonate (PC) ultrafine fiber membranes with benzyl triethylammonium chloride (BTEAC) were prepared by electrospinning of PC/chloroform solution with different BTEAC contents. In the presence of BTEAC additive, the PC solution showed a better electrospinnability and led to thinner fibers with uniformity…

Corrosion is a key limiting factor in the degradation of zirconium alloys in light water reactors. Developing a mechanistic understanding of the corrosion process offers a route towards improving safety and efficiency as demand increases for higher burn-up of fuel. Oxides formed on zirconium alloys are composed of bot…

The details of bubble behaviour in chemically active cavitation are still not sufficiently well understood. Here we report on experimental high-speed observations of acoustically driven single-bubble and few-bubble systems with the aim of clarification of the connection of their dynamics with chemical activity. Our ex…

Graphene halfly doped with H or F possesses local magnetization at the undoped C sites. Thus the Seebeck coefficient is different for each spin channel and its sign also changes depending on the spin polarization. Deposition of doped graphene on the C-face 4H-SiC(0001) with two buffer layers substantially varies the e…

Three new single-atom-thick silicon-carbon stable systems have been found by using of SCED-LCAO and DFT methods. An important position, named bone position, is proposed in these structures. For SiC and Si1C9 system, the bone positions are partially occupied by Si atoms, the plane structure is kept and electronic gap i…

Nitromethane (NM) is widely applied in chemical technology as a solvent for extraction, cleaning and chemical synthesis. NM was considered safe for a long time, until a railroad tanker car exploded in 1958. We investigate detonation kinetics and reaction mechanisms in a variety of systems consisting of NM, molecular o…
