Following the publication in 2012 of the first compelling evidence of the synthesis of silicene, the silicon based counterpart of graphene, the last two years have seen a surge of articles on elemental, novel two-dimensional materials beyond graphene. Here, research in this burgeoning field is highlighted.
The current paper examines a newly developed model to simulate the strain rate–dependent constitutive equation of graphene/polypropylene nanocomposites. The model is a combination of the Halpin-Tsai micromechanics method and the Goldberg model which is called the strain rate–dependent micromechanics model. First, tens…
Three new polyaniline (PANI) micro/nanostructures featuring square nanosheets, microspheres and microdisks are successfully synthesized via hydrothermal method. Uniform sizes and thickness of highly crystalline PANI square structural nanosheets can be tuned by the oxidation polymerization in the presence of cetyltrime…
Graphene sheets with high quality and dispersibility were prepared by exfoliation of edge sulfonated graphite. Tosyl-graphene (TsG) dispersion in N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) readily reached up to 16 mg mL−1 without any surfactants. TsG enjoys intact crystal planes and flexible framework. When employed as electrode mate…
Structural biology has contributed tremendous knowledge to the understanding of life on the molecular scale. The Protein Data Bank, a depository of this structural knowledge, currently contains over 100,000 protein structures, with the majority stemming from X-ray crystallography. As the name might suggest, crystallog…
The light-harvesting properties of both CdSe and CdTe nanocrystals are ideally suited for their use in quantum dot (QD)-sensitized solar cells. However, corrosion of the CdTe QD in an aqueous environment in the presence of sulfide/polysulfide electrolyte renders it unsuitable despite its better electron injection abil…
Three asymmetric amino-substituted perylene bisimide dyes with different n-alkyl chain lengths (n = 6, 12, or 18), 1-(N,N-dialkylamino)perylene bisimides (1a–1c), were synthesized under mild condition in high yields and were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), HRMS (High Resolution Mass Spec…
Polymer composites with natural fibers prepared by melt blending were investigated. Synthetic and natural macromolecules were used, including poly(lactic acid), polyhydroxybutyrate-co-polyhydroxyvalerate and low density polyethylene. These polymers were filled with flax fibers. Mechanical properties of the composites,…
The application of Cassie equation to microscopic droplets is recently under intense debate because the microdroplet dimension is often of the same order of magnitude as the characteristic size of substrate heterogeneities, and the mechanism to describe the contact angle of microdroplets is not clear. By representing…
Proton diffusion in Y- and Zn-doped BaZrO 3 has been studied by performing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, where the forces acting on atoms have been computed by the density functional theory (DFT). Special attention has been paid for the dopant effect on the proton conduction. The atomic configuration of 338 ato…
Recently, development of film materials is focused on finding the films with high chemical and physical stabilities. Organic based material such as chitosan produces films with low physical stability, and hence addition of inorganic materials necessary. In this research, the effect of silica and polyethylene glycol (P…
Different possible configurations of two nitrogen‐adatoms on graphene are studied using density functional theory. Adsorption of single nitrogen atom on the bridge site of graphene is accompanied by distortion of the sheet. Electronically, this case amounts to p‐type doping. Two N atoms adsorbed on the graphene sheet…
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly( ${\varepsilon}$ -caprolactone) (PCL) blends with various components for melt-blown non-wovens were prepared by a twin-screw extruder. Tributyl citrate (TBC) was added in order to improve the miscibility between PLA and PCL. The results showed that small circular particles of PCL were…
In texturally equilibrated porous media the pore geometry evolves to minimize the energy of the liquid-solid interfaces, while maintaining the dihedral angle θ at solid-solid-liquid contact lines. We present computations of three-dimensional texturally equilibrated pore networks using a level-set method. Our results s…
Thermal interface (Kapitza) resistance expresses how hard it is for heat to flow across material junctions inside multilayer structures. This quantity plays a crucial role in the thermal performance of nanoscale devices but is still poorly understood. Here we show that conventional Fourier-based metrology overestimate…
We report the successful synthesis of ZnO porous nano-cages with controllable hollow spaces by simply using laser ablation of Zn target in liquid medium containing deionized water and ammonia (V(water):V(ammonia) = 7:1~5:1). In addition to the porous surface, the created interior space of the ZnO nano-cage substantial…
This study investigates the physical mechanism of ferroresonance and its control. Based on this mechanism, a flexible control method for ferroresonance is proposed, and its control mechanism is discussed. High‐frequency controllable switches are used in the control module proposed in this study, and several parameters…
The mononuclear diiodoplatinum(II) complex (trans-PtI2(cis-DHDAMe)2), where cis-DHDAMe = cis-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dimethyl-2,3,5,6-tetrakis(methoxycarbonyl)-1,4-diarsinine, forms three different crystalline polymorphs that can be either concomitantly or separately obtained on varying the recrystallization conditions. Cubic…
In analogy to the previously reported tetranuclear magnesium hydride cluster with a bridged dianionic bis-β-diketiminate ligand, a related zinc hydride cluster has been prepared. The crystal structures of these magnesium and zinc hydride complexes are similar: the metal atoms are situated at the corners of a tetrahedr…
The temperature of allotropic phase transformation in ZnS (cubic to wurtzite) changes with pressure and particle size. In this paper we have explored the interrelation among these through a detailed study of ZnS powders obtained by a temperature-controlled high energy milling process. By employing the combined effect…
