Two-dimensional semiconductors are increasingly relevant for emergent applications and devices, notably for hybrid heterostructures with graphene. We fabricate few-layer, large-area (a few tens of microns across) samples of the III-VI semiconductors GaS, GaSe and InSe using the anodic bonding method and characterize t…

Abstract A planar trioctahedral iron(II)–iron(III) hydroxide (green rust, GR) intercalated with dodecanoate (GRC12) has been oxidized by dioxygen to produce the corresponding planar iron(III) (hydr)oxide. The formulae of GRC12 and the final iron(III) product (oxGRC12) were determined to be FeII2.00FeIII1.00(OH)5.31(C1…

At the onset of radiation exposure, free radicals are formed through ionizing reactions that are then capable of destroying normal tissues. While cells release a level of protective molecules, such as glutathione and metallothionine, they are not capable of blocking all damage, thus resulting in the death of normal ti…

Transformation optics has demonstrated its ability to design various novel devices, for example, to change objects' sizes, positions or even shapes. This time we come to another magical manipulation: to change the numbers of sources. In this paper, we will design a new class of gradient index lenses from multivalued o…

Although desalination of archaeological iron reduces its chloride concentration and enhances object stability, the reduction in corrosion rate that this produces has never been quantified. This study measures post-treatment corrosion rates in accelerated corrosion environments to identify the impact of removing chlori…

Alpha cellulose was extracted from Bambusa rigida fibers by carrying out Soxhlet extraction and bleaching and alkali treatments with acidified sodium chlorite solution and sodium hydrate solution. Then, cellulose nanofibers were isolated from α-cellulose with the combination of (33 wt%) sulfuric acid and ultrasonic tr…

Polydimethylsiloxane-aromatic dianhydride copolymers (PS-Oxy-PAA and PS-DAH-PAA) were blended through several techniques with organoclays Cloisite 30B, 10A and Na+ ranging from 1 to 5 wt.%. Thermal and flame-retardant analysis revealed an in-situ blending approach was optimal, which led to the generation of a nanocomp…

ABSTRACT A series of polyurethane hybrid networks have been synthesized using octakis(m‐isoprenyl‐α,α′‐dimethylbenzylisocyanato dimethylsiloxy) octasilsesquioxane (Q8M8TMI) as a crosslinking agent. The formation of the urethane linkages within the polyurethane hybrids was confirmed by photoacoustic FTIR spectroscopy.…

We investigate the transient absorption kinetics due to excitons associated with the first and higher transition states in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes at high excitation densities by means of femtosecond pump–probe spectroscopy. The time evolutions of absorption changes associated with the first, sec…

We have investigated the diameter dependence of the Raman spectra of lead selenide nanocrystals. The first-order Raman peak at about 136 cm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ and its second-order overtone at twice this wavenumber move up in energy with decreasing nanocrystal diameter. This anomalous behavior is interpreted in term…

Polypyrrole (PPy) films were electrodeposited from a pyrrole/sodium salicylate solution in water, through two-dimensional (2-D) polystyrene (PS) templates self-assembled on various oxidizable metals, after which the template was removed by dissolution in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The resulting PPy films were analyzed by…

Poly(dimethylsiloxane), PDMS, a versatile elastomer, is the polymer of choice for microfluidic systems. It is inexpensive, relatively easy to pattern, and permeable to oxygen. Unmodified PDMS is highly hydrophobic. It is typically exposed to an oxygen plasma to reduce this hydrophobicity. Unfortunately, the PDMS surfa…
