This paper presents tensile and low cycle fatigue properties of copper thin films used in electronic devices. Copper films tested were rolled copper, electrolytic copper, direct current plated copper and pulse plated copper films. Tensile tests and strain controlled 4-point bending low cycle fatigue tests were carried…
We have demonstrated electroswitchable emission and coloration using a novel composite material containing luminescent europium(III) complex Eu(hfa)(3)(H(2)O)(2) and diheptyl viologen HV(2+). The photoluminescence of the Eu(III) complex was controlled by the electrochemical coloration of HV(2+)via intermolecular energ…
Besides high geometrical accuracy medical devices strongly require a good surface integrity of the produced parts. Surfaces should be optimized to reduce friction or to increase cell adhesion for optimal fitting, mechanical stability and biocompatibility to reduce the risk of inflammatory reactions. Therefore surfaces…
Graphene analogues of MoSe(2) and WSe(2) have been prepared by three different chemical methods and characterized by electron microscopy and other methods. Graphene analogues of these diselenides as well as of GaSe have also been obtained by liquid-phase exfoliation. Raman spectra of the graphene analogues show signif…
We discuss the main features of the potential energy landscape that are associated with efficient ‘structure-seeking’ systems for particles interacting via anisotropic, pairwise additive forces. The interparticle potentials employed here are intended for a coarse-grained description of mesoscopic building blocks, such…
We report a facile, one-pot route based on thermal decomposition of a single molecular precursor for preparing spherical, eggplant-shaped Janus Ag–Ag2S nanoparticles; these Ag–Ag2S Janus-coupled P25 TiO2 composites show a higher photocatalytic efficiency than those of the Ag2S NPs coupled P25 TiO2 composites and pure…
A novel route for preparing highly ordered platelet SBA-15 materials with short mesochannels (ca. 200 nm) and large pore diameters up to 12 nm is reported for the first time. Appropriate quantities of Zr(IV) ions and trimethylbenzene (TMB) were added to the conventional SBA-15 synthesis solution to obtain platelet SBA…
Nanoconfinement and the use of catalysts are promising strategies to enhance the reversibility of hydrogen storage in light metal hydrides. We combined nanoconfinement of LiBH4 in nanoporous carbon with the addition of Ni. Samples were prepared by deposition of 5-6 nm Ni nanoparticles inside the porous carbon, followe…
We have used a simple method to prepare five fluorescent Ag nanoclusters (NCs) through the NaBH4-mediated reduction of Ag+ ions in the presence of various DNA scaffolds. The emission intensities and wavelengths (536–644 nm) of the as-prepared DNA–Ag NCs were dependent on the sequence and length of the DNA scaffold. El…
We have developed wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurements with high energy-resolution and accuracy to study water structure at three different temperatures (7, 25 and 66 °C) under normal pressure. Using a spherically curved Ge crystal an energy resolution better than 15 eV has been achieved which eliminates influenc…
Films and monoliths containing the spin crossover complex [Fe(Htrz)(2)(trz)](BF(4)) (trz = 1,2,4-triazole) as nanoparticles have been obtained. The dispersion and consecutive inclusion of the Fe complex in a silica matrix prepared from tetramethoxysilane or tetraethoxysilane afford monoliths or films with a violet col…
The dynamic behavior and kinetics of the structural transformation of supported bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts with synergistic functions in the oxidation process are fundamental issues to understand their unique catalytic properties as well as to regulate the catalytic capability of alloy nanoparticles. The phase…
The surface characteristics of different carbon materials: activated carbon, carbon felt, glassy carbon and a porous carbon monolith were investigated. The specific surface area was examined by the BET method with N2 adsorption, the amount and the type of surface oxygen groups by Boehm titration as well as by temperat…
The design and architecture of programmable metal-semiconductor nanostructures with excellent optoelectronic properties from metal and semiconductor building blocks with nanoscale dimensions have been a key aim of material scientists due to their central roles in the fabrication of electronic, optical, and optoelectro…
Nanoparticles (NPs) and surfactants can spontaneously concentrate at the interface between two immiscible liquids, such as oil and water. Systems of high oil–water interfacial area, such as emulsions, are the basis of many industries and consumer products. Although NPs and surfactants are currently incorporated into m…
An effective supramolecular strategy for self-sorting between naphthalene-diimide (NDI) acceptor and dialkoxy-naphthalene (DAN) donor organogelators is reported. The concept is based on mismatch in the placement of the two amide functionalities in the donor and acceptor chromophores so that self-sorting ensured maximu…
The energy transfer cassettes composed of coumarin and Bodipy as well as NIR distyryl Bodipys were designed to capture photonic energy and convert it to longer wavelength fluorescence emission; large pseudo-Stokes' shifts (up to 410 nm) and efficient energy transfer efficiencies (up to 98.6%) as well as a marked anten…
Graphene has many novel optical and electrical properties desirable for applications in future electro-optical devices. Graphene nanostructures are especially attractive for their wide range of tunable properties. Here we describe the recent progress and challenges in the solution-chemistry approach to graphene nanost…
Amine and carboxylic acid-bifunctionalized iron oxide nanoparticles with robust silane linkages to the nanoparticle surface were prepared with a versatile direct grafting protocol. The contrast in chemistry of these two groups was highlighted by attaching a fluorophore, Rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC) onto the amine…
A new truxene discotic liquid crystal possessing only three octyloxy chains (3C8OTRX) was studied on the mesomorphic and semiconducting properties to reveal that it exhibits a high drift mobility of positive carriers in the order of 10(-2) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in the hexagonal ordered columnar (Col(ho)) mesophase.
