Despite recent advances in the application of discotic liquid crystals (DLC) in organic electronic devices a better understanding of structure–property relationships is required for designing commercially viable discotic semiconductors. This is a complex task because a single structural change to the DLC may affect ma…
We have designed and synthesized self-assembled one-dimensional nanowires (1D NWs) from the fused thiophene derivative 2,3-bis(5-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)thiophen-2-yl)acrylonitrile (SS-TFMBE). This new material is characterized by a strong self-assembling capability that leads to the formation of 1D NWs exhibi…
DNA and DNA superstructures were transcribed into pore-structure-tunable mesoporous silicas via the electrostatic interaction between the negatively charged phosphate groups of DNA backbones and the positively charged quaternary ammonium groups of a co-structure directing agent (CSDA).
A novel family of homodinuclear complexes of the general formula [Ln(2)L(2)(X)(2)] (where Ln = Nd(3+), Pr(3+), Sm(3+) and Tb(3+) for 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively and X, the coordinated NO(3)(-) or Cl(-) anion) has been synthesised from the corresponding lanthanide(III) salts with the pentadentate dianionic Schiff base…
Mg96Zn2Y2 alloy with a long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase was produced by extrusion, and the effects of annealing on its microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Annealing at temperatures up to 623 K improved the elongation of the alloy from 5.4 to 9.6% but caused no changes in yield stress a…
A three-dimensional porous vanadium oxide was anodically deposited onto graphite substrates (denoted as ) at 0.7 V from an aqueous solution containing 25 mM and 5 mM . Through annealing at temperatures up to , the thermal stability of preserved its porous morphology and excellent capacitive performances in 3 M KCl (pH…
The thermal properties of water confined to both exterior and interior of cylindrical mesoporous MCM-41 (pore diameter d = 1.8-3.6 nm) were analysed by differential scanning calorimetry and FTIR spectroscopy. A three-step freezing of the exterior water was observed just above 233 K, the homogeneous nucleation temperat…
INTRODUCTIONTraditionally, materials designed for long term use in the body or more specifically in the mouth are thought to survive longer if they are ‘passive’ and have no interaction with their environment. Materials such as amalgams, composites and cements are often judged on their ability to survive without inter…
We report a correlation between oxygen ionic conductivity and the enthalpy of formation of trivalent-doped ceria from the component binary oxides observed at relatively low temperatures (150-275 degrees C). The bulk conductivities of La-doped ceria samples identical to those previously examined by thermochemical studi…
Soft spheres interacting via a hard core and a range of attractive and repulsive ‘soft-shoulder’ potentials self-assemble into clusters forming a variety of mesophases. We combine a mean-field theory developed from a lattice model with a level surface analysis of the periodic structures of soft-sphere aggregates to st…
A novel combinatorial atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (cAPCVD) technique was used to synthesise numerous vanadium oxide and vanadium oxynitride phases on a single film. This is the first example of cAPCVD having been used to synthesise a gradating mixed anion system. The film was characterised by X-ray…
The electrochemical behavior of copper in aqueous solutions containing phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid) and phosphate salts is important in a variety of industrial applications. This study presents aqueous solubility diagrams and potential-pH diagrams for a copper–phosphoric-acid–water system at a wide range of…
A series of zinc and aluminum phthalocyanines containing 3–8 pyridiniomethyl or cholinyl substituents on average were synthesized. As the number of cation substituents increased, in aqueous solutions, the aggregation ability of phthalocyanines decreased, while the quantum yields of fluorescence and singlet oxygen gene…
Simultaneous irradiation of a single crystal TiO2 substrate in solution by filtered UV and filtered visible light is employed to control the colour, size and orientation of Ag nanoparticle monolayers. Particle growth by photocatalytic reduction of Ag+ to Ag is kept in check by plasmon-assisted photooxidation of Ag to…
A composite resin (CR) with photo-polymerization is widely used for dental filling material. Current CR has a restriction on the photo-polymerization depth because of the scattering of irradiated blue visible (VIS) light. Rare earth doped Y2O3 particles (Y2O3:RE) are known to emit blue VIS light under near infrared (N…
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Chitosan is increasingly being used in the United States as an over-the-counter cholesterol-lowering agent. The positively charged amino groups of chitosan may have the ability to bind negatively charged molecules such as lipids and bile acids, inducing a greater fractional excretion in the feces…
This paper reports the efficient core-substitution of halogenated naphthalene diimides utilizing the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction to install various aryl substituents at the 2,6 positions. The UV-visible spectra of these compounds show a clear absorbance red shift and an enhanced fluorescence output, making them pot…
Till today several kinds of ceramics and ceramic matrix composites are developed for extreme environmental conditions. Most of these ceramics have microstructures with relatively "big" crystals, having high rigidness and strong inclination to nick, pitting and rigid fractures, so they are not usable for collision with…
The response of water-soluble, mercaptocarboxylic acid-capped fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles, or quantum dots (QDs), to extended visible-light irradiation is variable and poorly described. Here we use time-resolved spectroscopy to investigate the photoluminescence intensities and lifetimes of CdSe/ZnS and CdT…
Ultramicropores with high surface areas (>530 m(2) g(-1)) and narrow micropore size distribution (4-6 A) were engineered within a new cyanate ester resin, extending the microporous concept (<20 A) to general thermosetting resins in the area of polymer chemistry.
