Microplastics, plastics particles <5 mm in length, are a widespread pollutant of the marine environment. Oral ingestion of microplastics has been reported for a wide range of marine biota, but uptake into the body by other routes has received less attention. Here, we test the hypothesis that the shore crab (Carcinus m…
Abstract High-purity calcium carbonate of vaterite type was directly obtained from calcium sulfate and ammonium carbonate in ammonium sulfate matrix. This matrix can successfully break the limitations of reactant concentration, temperature, and stirring speed on vaterite. An orthogonal experiment combined with back pr…
This review paper is a state of the art report of the development of high performance nano-composites with carbon nanotube. We investigate the research and development (R&D) trends of high performance nano-composites with carbon nanotube by analyzing technical trends in research institutes and industry. We report the…
Abstract The key to the effective implementation of polymers in structural applications is an understanding of the mechanical response under a variety of conditions. In this study, an unreinforced poly(etherimide) (PEI) known as Ultem 1000 was characterized under quasi-static and high-strain-rate loading. Standard ten…
Hybrid and multicompartment carriers are of significant interest for the development of next-generation therapeutic drug carriers. Herein, fundamental investigations on layer-by-layer (LbL) capsules consisting of two different polymers are presented. The hybrid systems were designed to have pH-responsive, charge-shift…
Poly(urethane–imide) (PUI)/hydroxyl functional montmorillonite (MMT; H-MMT) nanocomposites and foams have been prepared with modified layered silicates (hydroxyl-modified H-MMT) via in situ polymerization. The physical properties of PUI/H-MMT nanocomposites and foams were investigated and were found to be dependent on…
The effect of incorporation of clay nanoparticles on the vulcanization reaction of silanol‐terminated polysiloxane was studied. Three different types of commercial clays were investigated as reinforcement, namely: Cloisite 20 A (organically modified with nonpolar aliphatic chains), Cloisite 30B (modified with aliphati…
Colloidal Nanocrystals (NCs) with fluorescence originating from surface complexes are successfully prepared. The components of these NCs range from insulator, semiconductor to metal, with either pure phase, doped or core/shell structures. The photoluminescence of these NCs can be reversibly tuned across the visible to…
In the Belgian Supercontainer concept for disposal of vitrified high level radioactive waste and spent fuel, a carbon steel overpack will surround the waste containers and be encased in a cementitious buffer material. In previous work the effects of radiation, temperature and chloride concentration on the anaerobic co…
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells are regarded as a high-efficiency, low-environmental impact technology for power and heat generation. SOFCs based on proton-conducting electrolyte is one of the most attractive technology, mainly due to high efficiency of energy conversion and operation at intermediate range of temperatures. The…
This work describes a micrometer resolution and plane-array temperature-sensing method using the photoluminescence (PL) of ZnCuInS/ZnSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). Heavy-metal-free QDs were directly deposited on a printed circuit board to analyze the surface temperature of the devices on the board. An optical fiber monoch…
Abstract In heavy water cooled nuclear reactors, Zr–2.5Nb alloy is used for pressure tubes under cold worked and stress relieved (CWSR) condition in Canadian Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors and under quenched and aged condition in RBMK and Fugen reactors. Because of its ease of use and the lower cost of fabrication…
A metasurface consisting of an infinite array of square loops was designed for maximal absorptivity for s-polarized light at a wavelength of 10.6 µm and 60 degrees off-normal. We investigate the effects of array truncation in finite arrays of this design using far-field FTIR spectroscopy and scattering scanning near-f…
ABSTRACT We report a transferring method of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) on polyurethane (PU) block copolymers film. We polymerized PU block copolymer films, and then, a GNP layer, deposited on glossy paper by drop casting, was transferred by hot press from the glossy surface to the synthetized PU substrate. Nanoinde…
Abstract Boundary heat flux has a significant effect on solidification behavior and microstructure formation, for it can directly affect the interfacial heat flux and cooling rate during phase transition. In this study, a phase field model for non-isothermal solidification in binary alloys is employed to simulate the…
Ten chemical additives were selected from the literature for their proposed modifying activity in protein-protein interactions. These consisted of acids, bases, reducing agents, and denaturants and were added to residual deoiled meals of Crambe abyssinica (crambe) and Brassica carinata (carinata) to modify the propert…
Three chloride-bridged lanthanide compounds, [Ln4Cl6(CH3OH)12(OH)2]·4Cl·2CH3OH [Ln = Gd (), Dy () and Er ()], have been unexpectedly isolated by the reactions of LnCl3·6H2O and N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-(phenylene-diamine) (H2L). X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals a triclinic cell with a unique defect-dicubane {…
Density functional theory calculations of NdAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure show that two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) is produced at the interface with a built-in potential of ~0.3 eV per unit cell. The effects of surface defects on the phase stability and electric field of 2-DEG have been investigated. It is found t…
ABSTRACT The facile synthesis of all‐cis‐tetrasiloxycyclotetrasiloxanes (extended cyclic siloxanes) [i‐BuSi(OSiHMe2)O]4 1, [PhSi(OSiHMe2)O]4 2, and [CH2 = CHSi(OSiHMe2)O]4 3 was accomplished via sodium or potassium silanolates from respective trialkoxysilanes. The treatment of 1 or 2 with m‐chloroperoxybenzoic acid af…
NAMDH (N-acetyl-D-mannosamine dehydrogenase), from the soil bacteroidete Flavobacterium sp. 141-8, catalyses a rare NAD+-dependent oxidation of ManNAc (N-acetyl-D-mannosamine) into N-acetylmannosamino-lactone, which spontaneously hydrolyses into N-acetylmannosaminic acid. NAMDH belongs to the SDR (short-chain dehydrog…
