Insulating materials in power apparatus are often exposed to surface discharges in the course of normal operation, resulting in deterioration of the material surface. In an earlier work, the authors have shown that the inclusion of nanometric particles (Al2O3) improves the ability of a polymeric dielectric (epoxy) to…
A model is developed to represent chemistry and transport in porous mixed ionic-and-electronic conducting composite electrode structures in solid oxide fuel cells ͑SOFC͒.The model considers the coupled behavior of a full membrane electrode assembly ͑MEA, i.e., cathode, electrolyte, and anode͒, which is an important ad…
There are many examples of catalysis in solution by cationic complexes of gold, and recent results, reviewed here in this critical review, demonstrate that cationic gold species on oxide and zeolite supports are also catalytically active, for reactions including ethylene hydrogenation and CO oxidation. The catalytical…
The loss density of the nanocrystalline magnetic material is experimentally characterized up to 500 kHz and above 1 Tesla in this paper.$B$–$H$hysteresis magnetization curves and loss density of the material under various operating temperatures up to 150$^{\circ}$C are measured and presented. The core preparing effect…
Hierarchical carbonaceous monoliths with ordered 2-D hexagonal mesostructures have been successfully synthesized by using phenolic resols as precursors and mixed triblock copolymers as templates via a one-step hydrothermal approach.
The current review presents an update on polyethylene glycol (PEG), which is widely used as a covalent modifier of macromolecules. This review discusses the polymers suitable for conjugation, their conjugation methods, and their properties. Proteins and bioactive substances can be chemically modified by binding synthe…
Chromonic liquid crystals (or chromonics) are formed by the self-organization of aromatic compounds with ionic or hydrophilic groups in aqueous solutions. This review summarizes the research on chromonic liquid crystals in the last two decades. The research embraced the studies of commercially available chromonic dyes…
Arterial occlusive disease remains a major health issue in the developed world and a rapidly growing problem in the developing world. Although a growing number of patients are now being effectively treated with minimally invasive techniques, there remains a tremendous pressure on the vascular community to develop a sy…
The structure and magnetic properties of Co-doped ZnO films are discussed in relation to cobalt doping levels and growth conditions. Films were deposited by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) from ZnO targets containing cobalt concentrations from 0 to 30 at.%. The structure of the films is examined by x-ray diffraction (XR…
Subporphyrin is a ring-contracted porphyrin congener consisting of three pyrrolic subunits domed in a C3 symmetric bowl arrangement. Subporphyrin had long been elusive until the first synthesis of tribenzosubporphine in 2006. Shortly after, synthetic protocols of subpyriporphyrin, meso-aryl-substituted subporphyrins,…
The combination of diol-type ligands with paramagnetic transition metal ions has led to the isolation of a host of new homometallic and heterometallic clusters, high-spin molecules and single molecule magnets ranging in nuclearity from two to forty four and with spin ground states as large as S = 61/2. The ligands, wh…
Thermotherapy is a promising technique for the minimally invasive elimination of solid tumors. Here we report the fabrication of protein-coated iron oxide NPs (12 nm core) for use as thermal therapeutic agents. These albumin-passivated NPs are stable under physiological conditions, with rapid heating and cell killing…
In terms of a common engineering material, modern duplex stainless steels emerged in the early 1980s, developed from cast alloys. Their popularity stems from an attractive combination of properties, including high strength and excellent resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking. The present paper gives a brief…
Hydrogen-rich boron-containing compounds have received extensive attention as potential hydrogen storage media for vehicular applications. The past years have seen significant progresses in material discovery, material composition/structure tailoring, catalyst identification and regeneration chemistry, which give rise…
Bulky 4-tritylphenylethynyl substituted boradiazaindacene with pure red emission, relatively large Stokes shift, high fluorescence quantum yield, and low self-quenching was efficiently synthesized and qualified as a potential EL dopant.
In situ ultraviolet−visible (UV−vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was used in combination with in situ Ti K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) to study the formation of Ti-hydroperoxo species during the gas-phase epoxidation of propylene with H 2 and O 2 at reaction conditions over a Au−Ba/Ti−SiO 2…
Arrays of multi-segmented hybrid nanostructures of carbon nanotube and gold nanowires have been synthesized using a combination of chemical vapour deposition and electrodeposition methods and we further demonstrate that ultra-high power electrochemical double layer capacitors can be engineered using these hybrid nanow…
The carrier transport properties in nanocrystalline semiconductors and organic materials play a key role for modern organic/inorganic devices such as dye-sensitized (DSC) and organic solar cells, organic and hybrid light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors, and electrochemical sensors and display…
Several results on bent-core liquid crystals considered as new supramolecular functional materials with potential for applications are reviewed. Various topics are discussed where these materials present unique attributes with clear advantages over conventional mesogens. In particular the electrooptic responses of som…
An autonomous power generator unit including two micropower sources and their management IC has been fabricated: a RF power receiver and a 1 V miniature thermogenerator combined with a micropower DC/DC up-converter are combined with a 78% efficiency manager and charger, and a 5 nW discharge monitor to manage and store…
