In this work we considered the factors determining the rate of adsorption. By assuming the balance between the surface reaction and diffusional mechanisms we discussed the possibility to conclude which model is the rate-controlling step. By using the pseudo first-order Lagergren equation we showed the theoretical inte…

Abstract The objective of this work is to validate predictive models for the simulation of the mechanical response of polypropylene undergoing impact situations. The transferability of material parameters deduced from a particular loading scenario (uniaxial loading) to a different loading situation (multiaxial loading…

Abstract Earlier studies have shown that poly(ethylene oxide) ( PEO ) and poly(methyl methacrylate) ( PMMA ) blocks are compatible at 270 and 298 K, and that their Flory–Huggins interaction parameters have the same blending ratio dependence at both temperatures. At a much higher temperature (400 K), the behavior of PE…

The first transmission electron microscope (TEM) was built in the 1930s for which the inventor Ernst Ruska received a Nobel prize for Physics in 1986. Since those early years, Mineralogy has played an important role in the development of TEM methods and technology. In the beginning, early specimens included natural sa…

We study the power-law scaling behavior and pinch-off morphology of two-dimensional bubble rafts under tension. As a function of pulling speed, we observe two distinct pinch-off morphologies that have been observed in other fluid systems: long threads (LT) and double-cone (DC). At any given pulling speed, there is a n…

Abstract Highly uniform hollow spheres were assembled from truncated rhomboid anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (HS), which were synthesized from the hydrothermal treatment of a NaF solution by using amorphous TiO2 spheres as a precursor and template. The submicron hollow spheres with highly photocatalytic active surfaces ex…

Two trigonal prismatic bicyclooxacalixarenes 1 and 2 were obtained by condensation reaction of 1,3,5-tri(p-hydroxyphenyl)benzene and 2,4,6-tri(p-hydroxyphenyl)triazine, respectively, with 1,5-difluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. Single crystal structural analysis revealed that the bicyclooxacalixarene 1 adopts a distorted tri…

An epoxy/CNT composite material with a low concentration of multiwall carbon nanotubes (0.5wt%) in a diglycidilether bisphenol-A based epoxy matrix has been shown to be applicable, when maintained at a constant temperature, as humidity sensing element. An almost linear decrease of the electrical conductivity with incr…

Crystalline mesoporous carbon was prepared from nanoshell-containing carbon (NSCC) by a sculpturing technique, i.e., the selective oxidation of amorphous carbon moieties (ACM) in NSCC using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treatment. The carbon structures of the NSCC and the H2O2-treated NSCC were characterized by transmissio…

We study the structures of the Hras‐GTP complex and the Hras‐GDP complex in water to investigate the mechanism of GTP hydrolysis of the Hras‐GTP complex. We performed molecular dynamics simulations of these complexes to investigate the structures of these complexes using the potential parameters of AMBER ff03 and our…

ABSTRACT An efficient and novel one‐pot process is developed to immobilize the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiators onto the surface of fully pyrolyzed carbon hard spheres (CHSs) via a radical trapping process from the in situ thermal decomposition of bis(bromomethylbenzoyl)peroxide. The CHSs do not…
