Abstract To mix single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with a polymer and to achieve low percolation thresholds, a low‐viscosity liquid has been required in order to achieve sufficiently good dispersion. In this article, data are presented which show that percolation occurs at ∼0.14 wt % carbon nanotubes and the disp…

In this paper, we described a simple approach for aqueous synthesis of highly luminescent ZnSe(S) alloyed quantum dots (QDs) in the presence of 3-mercaptopropionic acid as stabilizers using zinc chloride and NaHSe as precursors. The synthesis conditions were systematically investigated. We observed that the pH value o…

Abstract In this work, composites based on a phenolic matrix and untreated‐ and treated sisal fibers were prepared. The treated sisal fibers used were those reacted with NaOH 2% solution and esterified using benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). These treated fibers were modified with the objective of improv…

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthases catalyze the conversion of 3-hydroxybutyryl coenzyme A (HBCoA) to PHB with a molecular mass of 1.5 MDa. The class III synthase from Allochromatium vinosum is a tetramer of PhaEPhaC (each 40 kDa). The polymerization involves covalent catalysis using C149 of PhaC with one PHB chain pe…

We report the template assembly of luminescent poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) particles doped with rare-earth complexes. The hydrophobic polymer, PHB, has been infiltrated into the nanopores of mesoporous silica (MS) particles in organic solvent. Because of the van der Waals interaction of the polymer chains, PHB loaded…

Abstract Polyaniline (PANI)/silver (Ag) nanocomposites containing PANI nanofibers decorated with well‐dispersed Ag nanoparticles were obtained with interfacial polymerization. It was interesting that silver nitride affected not only the diameter and crystallinity of the PANI nanofibers but also their room‐temperature…

Hydrogenation reactions of three polycyclic arenes (PCAs), that is, anthracene, 9-phenylanthracene (PA), and 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) were carried out under an initial hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa at 300 °C. An activated carbon (AC, a metal-free catalyst), was employed to catalyze the PCA hydroconversions. The resu…
