The segregation of carbon from metals in which carbon is highly soluble, such as Ni (≈1.1 atom% at 1000 °C), is a typical method for graphene growth; this method differs from the surface-catalyzed growth of graphene that occurs on other metals such as Cu (<0.04 atom%). It has not been established whether strictly mono…

Bananas processed as fresh-cut products are highly sensitive to browning and softening. New post-harvest methods, such as the use of essential oils, are imperfect for preserving banana slices long enough to be marketable. To enable control release of oil and increases in antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, we su…

ABSTRACT TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNs) were used as nanofillers in this work. Composite nanofibers of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/waterborne polyurethane (WPU) reinforced with TOCNs were produced by electrospinning. The reinforcing capability of TOCNs was investigated by tensile tests. Scanning electron micr…

Series of fluorinated compounds, 2-(3′,5′-difluoro-4′-alkoxybiphenyl-4-yl)-benzoxazole derivatives (nFBx), were prepared and characterised. Their phase transition behaviour was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarising optical microscopy. In the case of carbon atoms in the alkoxy chain between 4…

We investigate the drainage of a 2D microfoam in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell, and show that the Marangoni stress at the air-water interface generated by a constant temperature gradient applied in situ can be tuned to control the drainage. The temperature gradient is applied in such a way that thermocapillarity and gravi…

Recent work with multilayer nanocoatings composed of polyelectrolytes and clay has demonstrated the ability to prepare super gas barrier layers from water that rival inorganic CVD-based films (e.g., SiOx). In an effort to reduce the number of layers required to achieve a very low oxygen transmission rate (OTR (<0.01 c…

The nature of excitations in liquids has been a subject of debate for a long time. In liquids, phonons are extremely short-lived and marginalized. Instead, recent research results indicate that local topological or configurational excitations (anankeons) are the elementary excitations in high temperature metallic liqu…
