Sugar beet pulp and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were prepared by compression-heating. The resultant thermoplastics had a lower density, but they had tensile strength similar to that of pure PLA specimens as well as the same geometric properties. Tensile properties depended on the initial water content of sugar…
A new lanthanide citrate motif of general formula [Ln(Hcit)(H2O)2.H2O]n, where Ln = Gd (1) and Nd (2) and Hcit3- = C(OH)(COO-)(CH2COO-)2, has been synthesized hydrothermally from Ln2O3 and citric acid at 100 degrees C and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, TG-DTA, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and magnetic m…
With surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) using a high-pressure reaction chamber we investigated in-situ the oxidation of the Ru(0001) model catalyst under various reaction conditions, starting from a strongly oxidizing environment to reaction conditions typical for CO oxidation. With a mixture of O(2) and CO (stoichiomet…
Large-scale tetragonal MMoO 4 (M = Ca, Sr) microcrystallites with delicate morphologies, such as ellipsoidal rods, peanuts, notched peaches, dumbbells, and spherules, have been successfully prepared via a very simple, alkalescent aqueous mineralization method, in the absence of any surfactant or template. The products…
Oil was passed through membranes into a continuous water phase containing a surfactant (Tween 20) to form oil dispersions with drop diameters between 40 and 400 μm. Two types of stirred equipment were used: a Weissenberg rheometer (cone and plate geometry) providing constant shear stress at all radial positions which…
Coordination of 4'-(C6H4-p-X)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridines [X = NO2, NBu2, (E)-CH=CH-C6H4-p-NBu2, (E,E)-(CH=CH)2-C6H4-p-NMe2] to Zn(II), Ru(III), and Ir(III) metal centers induces a significant enhancement of the absolute value of the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of the terpyridine, measured by means of b…
This paper describes the syntheses of core/shell gold nanoparticles stabilized with a monolayer of double hydrophilic block copolymer and their stimuli responsiveness before and after shell cross-linking. The hybrid nanoparticles consist of gold core, cross-linkable poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMA) inn…
We present a novel approach that allows to calculate the dielectric response of periodic systems in the quantum Monte Carlo formalism. We employ a many-body generalization for the electric enthalpy functional, where the coupling with the field is expressed via the Berry-phase formulation for the macroscopic polarizati…
Reaction of Na2O2NN' [H2O2NN' = (2-C5H4N)CH2N[2-HO-3,5-C6H2(t)Bu2]2] with M(BH4)3(THF)3 afforded the dimeric, rare-earth borohydride compounds [M(O2NN')(mu-BH4)(THF)n]2 [M = Y(III), n = 0.5 (1-Y); M = NdIII, n = 1 (1-Nd); M = SmIII, n = 0 (1-Sm)]. For comparison the chloride analogues [M(O2NN')(mu-Cl)(THF)n]2 (2-M; M…
The optical transitions of semiconducting carbon nanotubes have been ascribed to excitons. Here we use two-photon excitation spectroscopy to measure exciton binding energies, as well as band-gap energies, in a range of individual species of semiconducting SWNTs. Exciton binding energies are large and vary inversely wi…
Plane strain compression in a channel die is kinematically very similar to drawing; however, the possibility of void formation is limited due to a compressive component of stress. In drawing, voids were detected by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and density measurements in poly(methylene oxide) (POM), polypropyle…
The effect of the correction of the self-interaction error on the calculation of exchange coupling constants with methods based on density-functional theory has been tested in simple model systems. The inclusion of the self-interaction correction cancels the nondynamical correlation energy contributions simulated by t…
In this paper, we demonstrate the first use of a catecholic initiator for surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) from metal surfaces to create antifouling polymer coatings. A new bifunctional initiator inspired by mussel adhesive proteins was synthesized, which strongly adsorbs to Ti and 316L stainless steel (SS) subs…
The seed-mediated growth of gold nanostructures is shown to be strongly dependent on the gold seed nanocrystal structure. The gold seed solutions can be prepared such that the seeds are either single crystalline or multiply twinned. With added silver(I) in the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) aqueous growth solut…
The Helfrich-Hurault effect is a phase transition that occurs in samples of cholesteric or smectic liquid crystals subject to external electric or magnetic fields. In this paper we analyze the Helfrich-Hurault effect of smectic-A liquid crystals in an electrostatic field taking into account the complete electromechani…
We report the results of ac conductivity measurements on silver halide silver oxysalt glasses. Like Kincs and Martin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 70 (1996)], we find that these glasses exhibit non-Arrhenius behavior in the dc conductivity, which depends strongly on the silver halide content and on the type of the halide anio…
Abstract Summary: Amphiphilic hyperbranched polyester (H20‐AM) with methacrylate end groups was synthesized based on hyperbranched aliphatic polyester (Boltorn™ H20). Narrow‐dispersed crosslinkable vesicles were obtained by dissolving H20‐AM in water, and characterized by laser light scattering and TEM. The hollow str…
Abstract 1,1,1‐Tris(4‐trimethylsiloxyphenyl)ethane, (silylated THPE), was polycondensed with 2,4‐difluoroacetophenone and 2,4‐difluorobenzophenone. All polycondensations were performed in N ‐methylpyrrolidone with K 2 CO 3 as promotor. The feed ratio THPE/difluoroaromat was varied from 1.0:1.3 to 1.0:1.5. Instead of h…
In situ S K-edge XANES experiments were carried out on second-generation SO(x)() trapping materials under oxidizing and reducing conditions. The experiments clearly show that the strong release of SO(2) under rich conditions at plug flow conditions is caused by the facilitated reduction of sulfite species on Pt. In th…
Multitype Moran sets are introduced in this paper. They appear naturally in the study of the structure of the quasi-crystal spectrum, and they generalize some known fractal structures such as self-similar sets, graph-direct sets and Moran sets. It is known that for any Moran set E with a bounded condition on contracti…
