The 15-cobalt-substituted polyoxotungstate [Co(6)(H(2)O)(30){Co(9)Cl(2)(OH)(3)(H(2)O)(9)(beta-SiW(8)O(31))(3)}](5-) (1) has been characterized by single-crystal XRD, elemental analysis, IR, electrochemistry, magnetic measurements, and EPR. Single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on Na(5)[Co(6)(H(2)O)(30){Co(9)Cl…
The properties of a series of organogels consisting of a urea or thiourea derivative with one or two n-alkyl substitutuents at the nitrogen atoms (a low molecular-mass organogelator (LMOG)) and an organic liquid are described. They include N,N'-dimethylurea, the LMOG of lowest molecular mass (M(W) 88) we are aware of.…
We report the discovery that high-TC ferromagnetism in manganese-doped ZnO (Mn2+:ZnO) can be activated by amine binding and calcination. The activation of ferromagnetism is attributed to the incorporation of uncompensated p-type dopants into the ZnO lattice upon amine calcination, a process that has substantial preced…
It is shown that polycrystalline fullerene thin films on hydrogen passivated Si(111) substrates irradiated by 2 MeV protons displays ferromagnetic-like behavior at 5 K. At 300 K both the pristine and the irradiated film show diamagnetic behavior. Magnetization data in the temperature range 2 - 300 K, in 1 Tesla applie…
We measured the form factor of bottle-brush macromolecules under good solvent conditions with small-angle neutron scattering and static light scattering. The systems under investigation are brushes, synthesized via the grafting-from route, built from a poly(alkyl methacrylate) backbone to which poly(n-butyl acrylate)…
Abstract This paper presents an overview of the recent literature on flame retardancy of polycarbonate (PC) and polycarbonate‐based resins. A brief survey of the major mechanisms of thermal decomposition of PC is also presented because it gives insight in the mechanisms of flame retardant action. Mostly industrial lab…
Scanning electron micrographs of a solvent-extracted sheared polyethylene (PE) blend revealed, for the first time, an unexpected shish-kebab structure with multiple shish. The blend contained 2 wt % of crystallizing ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and 98 wt % of noncrystallizing PE matrix. The formati…
The discovery and selective production of crystalline polymorphs, an outstanding problem in solid-state chemistry, is of great importance industrially in, for example, the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and pigments. Despite considerable efforts, no reliable method exists to produce all of the stable polymorphs of a g…
Dislocation velocities and mobilities are studied using molecular dynamics simulations for edge and screw dislocations in pure aluminium and nickel, and edge dislocations in Al–2.5%Mg and Al–5.0%Mg random substitutional alloys using EAM potentials. In the pure materials, the velocities of all dislocations are close to…
We report high-throughput growth of highly aligned single-walled carbon nanotube arrays on a-plane and r-plane sapphire substrates. This is achieved using chemical vapor deposition with ferritin as the catalyst. The nanotubes are aligned normal to the [0001] direction for growth on the a-plane sapphire. They are typic…
We report the formation of a stable superhydrophobic surface via aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated with a zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film. The CNT template was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on an Fe-N catalyst layer. The ZnO film, with a low surface energy, was deposited on the CNT template by the filtered…
We report effects of various organic and inorganic ligands on optical properties of CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) by changes in their photoluminescence and absorbance spectra. Surface ligand loss occurring during dilution and purification of solutions of CdSe NCs leads to a decrease of photoluminescence intensity. The compl…
Paclitaxel (PTX) is one of the most effective anticancer agents. In clinical practice, however, high incidences of adverse reactions of the drug, for example, neurotoxicity, myelosuppression, and allergic reactions, have been reported. NK105, a micellar nanoparticle formulation, was developed to overcome these problem…
Nanoshells are a novel class of optically tunable nanoparticles that consist of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin gold shell. Based on the relative dimensions of the shell thickness and core radius, nanoshells may be designed to scatter and/or absorb light over a broad spectral range including the near-infrared (…
We discuss the validity of standard retrieval methods that assign bulk electromagnetic properties, such as the electric permittivity epsilon and the magnetic permeability mu, from calculations of the scattering (S) parameters for finite-thickness samples. S-parameter retrieval methods have recently become the principa…
We discuss the possibility of a pyroelectric effect in a nonpolar solid. The built-in electrical field of a p–n junction barrier creates a polar axis in the solid. The electric dipole moment, due to the charge separation at the junction, depends on temperature mainly via the temperature dependence of the dielectric co…
Underwater manned vehicles and remotely operated unmanned vehicles require for their construction materials that do not corrode in the marine environment, and do not contribute significantly to the weight of the structures. One of such materials is acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate) that, in addition to the above attri…
Purpose To show the effect of organic compounds containing O and N atoms on the corrosion inhibition of Cu in HNO 3 and; the effect of some donating substituent groups on the corrosion inhibition. Design/methodology/approach A range of published papers (1956‐1995), which aim to discuss the effect of organic compounds…
The paper presents the results of a study on the use of high dielectric constant silicone housing compositions on composite bushings to shape the electric stress in the vicinity of the mounting flange, thereby eliminating the need for separate grading rings or capacitor foils. The materials studied are various mixture…
The objective of This work is to validate the electric field measurement technique for the diagnosis of nonceramic insulators (NCI). To validate this technique, fifteen NCI were aged in a salt fog chamber by applying nonstandard methods. Before ageing the NCI, the electric field distribution along each insulator was m…
