Particle get-together: Surface functionalization with a branched copolymer surfactant is used to create responsive inorganic particles that can self-assemble in complex structures. The assembly process is triggered by a pH switch that reversibly activates multiple hydrogen bonds between ceramic particles (see picture;…
Ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Reduzierbarkeit von CeO2 und dem d-Band-Zentrum des Edelmetalls wird für Edelmetallkatalysatoren auf CeO2-Trägern berichtet. Die Ergebnisse könnten starke Metall-Träger-Wechselwirkungen sowie Wasserstoff-Spillover erklären, die in Katalysatoren aus fein verteiltem Metall in Kontakt mit re…
Ag nanoparticle-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols in basic DMSO gave efficient formation of styryl ethers, featuring single carbon transfer and C═C and C–O bond formation. A deuterium labeling experiment established that DMSO was the carbon source. Further experiments showed the reaction proceeded through…
We report the structural optimization and mechanistic investigation of a series of bioactivated magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents that transform from low relaxivity to high relaxivity in the presence of Zn(II). The change in relaxivity results from a structural transformation of the complex that alters the co…
Two kinds of multifunctional nanocomposites, SBA-15-NH2/Pd-p and SBA-15-NH2/Pd-f, with platelet-like and fiber-like morphologies, respectively, were fabricated by immobilizing Pd NPs onto amine-functionalized SBA-15. Some of the amino groups acted as anchoring sites for Pd NPs, whilst the remaining groups acted as Brø…
In this work, we present a theoretical method to determine the line tension of nanodroplets on homogeneous substrates via decomposing the grand free energy into volume, interface and line contributions. With the obtained line tension, we check the viability of Young equation and find that the chemical potential depend…
Nonisothermal densification in 8% yttria doped zirconia (8YSZ) particulate matter of 250 nm median particle size was studied under 215 V/cm dc electric field and 9 °C/min heating rate, using time-resolved in-situ high temperature energy dispersive x-ray diffractometry with a polychromatic 200 keV synchrotron probe. De…
Abstract Restoration of waste polymer based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) is studied using the dissolution/reprecipitation method. In this technique, pure turpentine, turpentine/petroleum ether (PetE) and turpentine/benzene as solvents with different fracti…
Morphology control for intense solid-state phosphorescence of non-emissive, but potentially emissive crystals of platinum complexes and the mechanistic rationale are described. A series of trans-bis(salicylaldiminato)platinum(II) complexes bearing linear alkyl chains (1a: n=5; 1b: n=8; 1c: n=12; 1d: n=14; 1e: n=16; 1f…
In this article, we investigated the properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composite compared to both TPS with a PALF composite and TPS/PLA blend. The composite is prepared by a single-screw extruder. It appears that the TPS with PALF/PLA composite gives bett…
During three separate studies involving characterization of diesel particulate matter, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were found among diesel exhaust particles sampled onto transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids. During these studies, samples were collected from three different diesel engines at normal operating condit…
We present a combination of the string method and a path collective variable for the exploration of the free energy surface associated to a chemical reaction in condensed environments. The on-the-fly string method is employed to find the minimum free energy paths on a multidimensional free energy surface defined in te…
In light of the broad spectrum of products containing nanosilver, the harmfulness of nanosilver to human health and the environment was intensively discussed at a conference held in February 2012 at the BfR. The conference agenda covered the aspects of analytics of nanosilver materials, human exposure and toxicology a…
In the current study, the torsional vibration of carbon nanotubes is examined using the strain gradient theory and molecular dynamic simulations. The model developed based on this gradient theory enables us to interpret size effect through introducing material length scale parameters. The model accommodates the modifi…
Highly efficient and stable blue light emission is observed in novel copolymers that are produced from specially designed building blocks. A PEDOT:PSS-induced chemical degradation of the polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) is identified at the interface, and it is found to be accompanied by a shift in the emission c…
Using a one‐step hydrothermal method and at different stirring speeds ( V s ), we have synthesized different types of CoFe 2 O 4 ‐based magnetic nanocrystalline samples. With increasing V s , the sample changes from a nanocomposite of CoFe 2 O 4 / Co 0.7 Fe 0.3 ( CFO / CF ) to single‐phase CoFe 2 O 4 ( CFO ). The maxi…
In this work, composite samples were prepared using Borassus fibers and a high-density polyethylene matrix. Alternatively, a chemically modified matrix (maleic anhydride grafted HDPE) was also used to improve fiber-matrix compatibility. The effect of fiber loading on the mechanical properties was investigated. Borassu…
We report the synthesis of new laterally alkyl substituted high birefringent quaterphenyl and phenylethynyltolane liquid crystals with isothiocyanate terminal group. The thermal and optical properties such as birefringence are measured and discussed based on their molecular structures. The compounds exhibit birefringe…
This study investigated the mechanisms, using microscopy and strength testing approaches, by which the addition of maleic anhydride grafted high-density polyethylene (MAPE) enhances the mechanical properties of basalt fiber-wood-plastic composites (BF-WPCs). The maximum values of the specific tensile and flexural stre…
Semiconducting polymer X-radiation detectors are a completely new family of low-cost radiation detectors with potential application as beam monitors or dosimeters. These detectors are easy to process, mechanically flexible, relatively inexpensive, and able to cover large areas. However, their x-ray photocurrents are t…
