Refinement of carbide particles by cryotreatment is often proposed as a major factor for the improvement of wear resistance in tool steels. However, this proposition is not substantiated by experimental evidence. This has been examined in this report by (i) detailed micro-structural analyses of the nature, volume frac…
The changes of the secondary structure of silk proteins, including β-sheet, helical and random coil content during the conformation transition process have been widely studied with various methods by many researchers, however few reports relate to β-turn formation. In this paper, β-turn formation during the conformati…
The influence of fluoride on the anodic dissolution kinetics of titanium was studied by several electrochemical techniques at steady-state open-circuit potentials in 1.0 M containing fluoride with various concentrations ranging from 0 to 0.1 M. The promoting effect of fluoride (especially when ) on the anodic dissolut…
The nature of the groups that reside on the periphery of dendrimers and have contact with the surrounding media is the primary factor that controls the surface-related physico-chemical characteristics of these macromolecules. Therefore, transformation/tailoring of the peripheral functionalities of dendrimers is an eco…
This review describes the present state of science and technology of photopolymerizable (UV-curable) polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites which include nanosilica and organically-modified clay (organoclay). A number of documented improvements of properties of PU nanocomposites compared to the pristine PU are presented. Ma…
We establish the use of dielectrophoresis for the directed parallel assembly of individual flakes and nanoribbons of few-layer graphene into electronic devices. This is a bottom-up approach where source and drain electrodes are prefabricated and the flakes are deposited from a solution using an alternating electric fi…
A combination of density functional theory calculations, electronic absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy has been applied to a series of beta-substituted zinc porphyrins to elucidate how the substituent affects the electronic structure of the metalloporphyrin and assign the nature of electronic transitions in t…
Purpose: of this paper is to study the effect of heat treatments and resulting changes in microstructure on mechanical properties, mainly impact toughness, of commercial 2205 duplex stainless steel and higher alloy superduplex 2507 grade. Design/methodology/approach: Both steels were submitted to ageing treatments in…
A simple, sensitive fluorescent method for detecting cyanide has been developed based on the inner filter effect (IFE) of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). With a high extinction coefficient and tunable plasmon absorption feature, Ag NPs are expected to be a powerful absorber to tune the emission of the fluorophore in th…
Adsorption of formate on oxide surfaces plays a role in water-gas shift (WGS) and other reactions related to H(2) production and CO(2) utilization. CeO(2) is of particular interest because its reducibility affects the redox of organic molecules. In this work, the adsorption and thermal evolution of formic acid and for…
A quick and convenient method was developed to synthesize organically functionalized silicon nanocrystals via a one-step reaction, which is a green chemistry route.
The present study investigated the antimetastatic property of chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) by evaluating motility, invasion, and the amount and activity of MMP-9 in MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma cells. Treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with increasing concentrations of COS led to a concentration-dependent decrease…
We investigate the fundamental necessary conditions for optical generation of nitrosyl linkage isomers in ML(5)NO compounds (M = transition metal, L arbitrary ligand) on the examples of K(3)[Mn(CN)(5)NO].2H(2)O and Na(2)[Fe(CN)(5)NO].2H(2)O. We show that the NO linkage isomers of the side-on bonded type (SII, 90 degre…
The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility, optical reflectivity and electrical conductivity of [Fe(HB(pz)3)2] (pz = pyrazolyl) revealed irreversible changes in the material during the low-spin to high-spin transition when the “as-prepared” sample was heated above ∼400 K for the first time. During this…
This highlight article is devoted to catalytic applications of mesoporous materials containing transition metal oxides (Ti, Nb and Ta). In general, these mesoporous molecular sieves (MMS) can be readily modified by doping with other elements, reduction or acid treatment to extend their applications in catalysis. We hi…
Carbon nanotubes; revolutionary and fascinating from the materials point of view and exceedingly sensational from a research point of view; are standing today at the threshold between inorganic electronics and organic electronics and posing a serious challenge to the big daddies of these two domains in electronics i.e…
Four compositions of Ba(1-x)Sr(x)Co(1-y)Fe(y)O(3-delta) were studied for phase, oxygen uptake-release, and transition metal (TM) oxidation states after solid state processing and with in situ heating from 300 to 1273 K in air. X-Ray diffraction showed that all compositions except one had the cubic perovskite structure…
Vanadium pentoxide was deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) from vanadyl-tri-isopropoxide (VTIP). Water or oxygen was used as a reactive gas in thermal and plasma-enhanced (PE) processes. For PE ALD, there was a wide ALD temperature window from 50 to . Above , VTIP decomposed thermally, resulting in the chemical…
Dysprosium-doped oxyfluoride glasses and nanocrystalline glass ceramics have been synthesized and studied by x-ray diffraction, absorption, and visible and near-infrared emission spectra. The samples emit intense white light when populating the F49/2 level with a 451 nm laser light and, from the visible emission spect…
This Review article details the preparation and encapsulation–release properties of novel amphiphilic hyperbranched polymers with a micellar characteristic as a single molecule, which are referred to as “unimolecular micelles” or “unimolecular nanocapsules”. Amphiphilic hyperbranched polymers consisting of a hydrophil…
