We present a combined structural analysis on the powder of the Ca2Al3O6F phase using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The crystal structure of Ca2Al3O6F has been refined in the rhombohedral system, R3[combining macron] space group, a = 17.3237(7) Å, c = 7.00017(4) Å, V = 1819.38(2) Å(3), Z =…
Rapid and precise synthesis of macromolecules has been a grand challenge in polymer chemistry. In this letter, we describe a convenient, rapid, and robust strategy for a one-pot synthesis of various precisely defined giant surfactants based on polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS). The method combines orthogonal…
Using Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, we delineate the bond and defect structures in nuclear block graphite (NBG-18) under neutron and ion irradiation. The strengthening of the defect (D) peak in the Raman spectra under irradiation is attributed to an increase in the topological, sp2-hybridized defects. Us…
We theoretically predict magnetic superatoms in the 4d-transition-metal-doped Mg8 clusters using a spin-polarized density functional theory method. We demonstrate that TcMg8 is highly energetically stable in both structure and magnetic states, and identify it as a magnetic superatom with a magnetic moment as large as…
There is much recent interest in the field of molecular gels because of their potential use in many different applications, including biomedicine and electronic materials. Functional Molecular Gels details the latest research on molecular gels from the fundamentals of molecular gel formation to their uses in a variety…
Nitrogen doping in carbon nanostructures has attracted interest for more than a decade, and recent implementation of such structures in energy conversion systems has boosted the interest even more. Despite numerous studies, the structural conformation and stability of nitrogen functionalities in small diameter single-…
A novel Ca(2+) ion responsive particulate emulsifier, which is based on copolymer nanoaggregates, is reported in this work. Results from dynamic light scattering (DLS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) indicate that the formation of poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt (PSSMA) na…
A facile and scalable technique to fabricate optically transparent, mechanically flexible and self-cleanable superhydrophobic films for practical solar cell applications is proposed. The superhydrophobic films were fabricated simply by transferring a transparent porous alumina layer, which was prepared using an anodic…
The cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of rod and spherical zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were evaluated on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Their sizes and shapes were determined by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and physical characterizations were done by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Dyna…
The objective of this work was to evaluate the mechanical, barrier and morphological properties of biodegradable films based on muscle and residue proteins from the Whitemouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri). Protein isolate was obtained from croaker residue and myofibrillar proteins were obtained from croaker muscle…
A novel binary flame-retardant system was formed by introducing aluminum hypophosphite (AP) and aluminum isobutylphosphinate (APBu) together for PA6. The optimum flame retardant formulation was 1:1 (AP:APBu, 15 wt % in total), and the resulting flame-retardant PA6 could achieve a LOI value of 28.3 vol % and UL-94 V-0…
Triphenylboranes planarized with three methylene bridges exhibited dual fluorescence bands around 340 and 400 nm despite their structural constraint. To elucidate the origin, their excited state dynamics were experimentally and theoretically studied. The measurements of fluorescence lifetimes and transient absorption…
CONTEXT: Warburgia (Canellaceae) species have a long history of ethnomedicinal uses in east, central and southern Africa. Due to the popularity of Warburgia as a source of ethnomedicines; all the species are severely over-harvested throughout their distributional ranges. OBJECTIVE: This review documents fragmented inf…
Recently, new strains of Fasciola demonstrated drug resistance, which increased the need for new drugs or improvement of the present drugs. Nanotechnology is expected to open some new opportunities to fight and prevent diseases using an atomic scale tailoring of materials. The ability to uncover the structure and func…
A novel optoelectroactive system based on an oriented periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) film has been developed. A tetra-substituted porphyrin silsesquioxane was designed as a precursor, and the porphyrin macrocycles were covalently incorporated into the organosilica framework without adding additional silica sou…
We report analysis of chemical durability of UK HLW MW +25% simulant glass under model hyperalkaline conditions of a colocated geological disposal facility. Glass powders and monoliths were dissolved for 168 days in saturated Ca(OH) 2 . Dissolution in the presence of high concentrations of Ca (>200 mg/L) was an order…
We propose an approach based on the combination of different techniques in order to discriminate various reinforcement effects in vulcanized natural rubber elastomers with various cross-link densities, filled with carbon black or silica: mechanical response, independent measurements of the cross-link density by proton…
In the present work, a systematic study of the release kinetics of two embedded model drugs (one completely water soluble and one partially water soluble) from hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanofiber mats was conducted. Fluorescent dye Rhodamine B was used as a model hydrophilic drug in controlled release experiments af…
A biscalixarene framework, without long alkyl chains, has been readily synthesized in three steps starting from the parent calix[4]arene. The biscalix[4]arene 1 was able to form organogels in various alcoholic solvents; furthermore, it exhibited an excellent phase selective gelation property that is potentially useful…
The semiring chemistry of the Au25(SR)18, particularly its fragmentation mechanism and catalytic active site, is explored using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Our calculations show that the magically stable fragmental cluster, Au21(SR)14(-), as detected in several mass spectrometry (MS) measurements of…
