We have used density functional theory to predict the ion exchange energies for divalent cations Ni(2+), Sr(2+), Cd(2+), and Pb(2+) into a calcite {10.4} surface in equilibrium with water. Exchange energies were calculated for substitution into the topmost surface layer, at the mineral-fluid interface, and into the se…
The solution chemistry and solid-state structures of the Co(II), Fe(II), and Ni(II) complexes of 7,13-bis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,10-trioxa-7,13-diazacyclopentadecane (L) are reported as members of a new class of paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) MRI contrast agents that contain transition met…
Epoxy hybrid composites fabricated by reinforcing 2‐hydroxy ethyl acrylate (2‐HEA) treated oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and jute fibers. It assume that chemical modification of jute and oil palm EFB fibers increased fiber/matrix interfacial bonding and it results in enhanced thermal properties of hybrid composites…
Despite its importance in many areas of industry, such as catalysis, fuel cell technology and microelectronics, the surface structure and physical properties of ZrO2 are not well understood. Following the successful growth of ultra-thin zirconia on Pt3Zr(0 0 0 1) (Antlanger et al 2012 Phys. Rev. B 86 035451), we repor…
Nanofibrous poly(propylene carbonate)(PPC)/gelatin composite scaffolds were fabricated by the electrospinning process and characterized for tissue engineering applications. Using trifluoroethanol (TFE) as a solvent and at low mass content of gelatin, nanofibrous scaffold PPC/gelatin membranes with improved wettability…
Mg–RE alloys are among the strongest Mg-based alloys due to their unique precipitation structures. A previously unobserved metastable phase (βT) is found to coexist with reported β″ and β′ metastable phases under peak ageing conditions in a Mg–Gd–Y–Zr alloy. The position of the RE elements within the βT phase is ident…
Biomediated methods are considered to be a safer alternative to conventional physicochemical methods for the fabrication of nanomaterials due to their eco-friendly nature. In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by microwave irradiation using aqueous rhizome extract of the medicinal plant A…
The present study focused on low temperature synthesis of Mn doped ZnO nanorod array film via chemical bath deposition method on glass substrates. Microstructural, morphological, and optical properties of Mn doped ZnO nanorods were investigated. X-ray diffraction patterns showed sharp and intense peaks, indicating the…
Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) were synthesized at room temperature using Morus alba (mulberry) leaf extract as reducing and stabilizing agent. The development of plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles is gaining importance due to its simplicity, low cost, non-toxicity, eco-friendliness, long term stability and reprod…
Water-insoluble phytosterols were developed into a kind of colloidal particle as Pickering stabilizers for emulsions by a classic anti-solvent method using 100% ethanol as the organic phase to solubilize the phytosterols and whey protein concentrate (WPC) as the emulsifier. The colloidal particles in the dispersion, w…
Properties of natural rubber (NR) filled with hybrid fillers were compared. Loading of the primary filler, carbon black (CB), was fixed whereas that of the secondary fillers, carbon nanotube (CNT) and conductive carbon black (CCB), was varied. The increase of secondary filler loading results in loss of elasticity but…
We report the development of a multifunctional, solar-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC)-pseudocapacitive-sensing material system for simultaneous solar energy conversion, electrochemical energy storage, and chemical detection. The TiO2 nanowire/NiO nanoflakes and the Si nanowire/Pt nanoparticle composites are used as…
Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we explore the chemical activity of epitaxial heterostructures of TiO2 anatase on strained polar SrTiO3 films focusing on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the bottleneck of water splitting. Our results show that the reactivity of the TiO2 surface is tu…
The steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence properties of CdSe/CdS heterostructures are studied as a function of temperature from 300 to 600 K. The emission properties of samples are found to behave similarly to bulk CdSe, with the samples maintaining high color purity and a slightly contracting band gap at e…
The development of responsive or "smart" magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that can report specific biomarker or biological events has been the focus of MRI contrast agent research over the past 20 years. Among various biological hallmarks of interest, tissue redox and hypoxia are particularly important…
BACKGROUND: Although major concerns exist regarding the potential consequences of human exposure to nanoparticles (NP), no human toxicological data is currently available. To address this issue, we took welders, who present various adverse respiratory outcomes, as a model population of occupational exposure to NP.The…
The new magnetic nanomaterials have been synthesized from ferrocene-containing polyphenylenes. Cyclotrimerization of 1,1&s;-diacetylferrocene by condensation reaction catalyzed by p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) in the presence of triethyl orthoformate both in solution and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) in the t…

The fractal spectrum of magnetic minibands (Hofstadter butterfly), induced by the moiré superlattice of graphene on a hexagonal crystal substrate, is known to exhibit gapped Dirac cones. We show that the gap can be closed by slightly misaligning the substrate, producing a hierarchy of conical singularities (Dirac poin…
The effects of aluminum (Al) interlayer coating and thermal post-treatment on the electron emission characteristics of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. These CNTs were deposited on conical-shaped tungsten (W) substrates using an electrophoretic method. The Al interlayers were coated on the W substrates via m…
