The direct mix of aqueous ferric chloride and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) solutions at room temperature has been demonstrated for the first time to be an effective, economic, and fast method for preparing microfibrils on a large scale. The formation of such large microfibrils is attributed to the self-assembly of the OPD…

By lowering the reaction temperature during metal ion reduction in a reverse micelle system, gold nanoparticle size can be subtly tuned from 6.6 to 2.2 nm in diameter. Under these reaction conditions, the water-to-surfactant ratio (W value) also plays an important role in controlling the particle size, enabling a wide…

Finite-length models of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Clar sextet theory of aromatic systems are proposed. For metallic CNTs, the electronic properties of finite-length models converge monotonically to the values expected for quasi-monodimensional metallic systems. For semiconducting CNT…

Two new bismacrocyclic Gd3+ chelates containing a specific Ca2+ binding site were synthesized as potential MRI contrast agents for the detection of Ca2+ concentration changes at the millimolar level in the extracellular space. In the ligands, the Ca2+-sensitive BAPTA-bisamide central part is separated from the DO3A ma…

We present a facile route to prepare bionic superhydrophobic coatings with striking supporting forces by fabricating hierarchical micro-/nanostructures on curved surfaces. The hierarchical structure was synthesized by decorating silver nanoparticles on a monolayer array of polystyrene (PS) microspheres. The monolayer…

In the present investigation, we explore the feasibility of using TiSi 2 as a sintering aid to densify titanium diboride (TiB 2 ) at a lower sintering temperature (<1700°C). The hot‐pressing experiments were conducted in the temperature range of 1400°–1650°C for 1 h in an argon atmosphere and TiSi 2 addition to TiB…

Gelcasting is conventionally used to acquire high‐density ceramic parts; however, in this work, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) ceramics with ultra‐low density (8%–40% theoretical density) were successfully fabricated by this method. In this research, polymerization of acrylamide was realized in tert‐butyl alcohol/Al 2 O 3 slurri…

Nickel (Ni)—yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) cermets are a prevalent material used for solid oxide fuel cells. The cermet degrades upon redox cycling. The degradation is related to microstructural changes, but knowledge of the mechanisms has been limited. Direct current conductivity measurements were performed on cerm…
