The electroreduction of nitrate ions is investigated in acid and neutral aqueous solutions (HClO 4 and NaClO 4 as electrolytes) at polycrystalline copper electrodes, copper single crystals and at copper particles deposited in polyaniline (PANI) layers. In the presence of low nitrate concentrations (5 mM), the reductio…

In this Brief Report, we study the dispersion relations of plasma waves which propagate parallel to the surface of the single-walled metallic carbon nanotubes. We use the classical electrodynamics in our calculations. Electronic excitations on the nanotube surface are modeled by an infinitesimally thin layer of the $\…

Neutron diffraction and 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to probe the structure of phosphate glass biomaterials of general composition (CaO) 0.5− x (Na 2 O) x (P 2 O 5 ) 0.5 ( x = 0, 0.1 and 0.5). The results suggest that all three glasses have structures based on chains of Q 2 phosphate groups.…

There is continued interest in the problem of extracting structures from x-ray and neutron diffraction data on liquids and glasses. Traditional Fourier transform techniques, with their inherent weakness of possible systematic and truncation artefacts being introduced into the estimated distribution functions, are incr…

Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) moiré method was used to study the surface structure of three kinds of butterfly wings: Papilio maackii Menetries, Euploea midamus (Linnaeus), and Stichophthalma howqua (Westwood). Gratings composed of curves with different orientations were found on scales. The planar characteristi…

Using a density-functional approach, we calculate the principal vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO 2 and vitreous GeO 2 and discuss their analogies and differences. For both glasses, we generate model structures consisting of a random network of corner-sharing tetrahedra and differing only by their packing density. T…

Changing shapes: Metastable spherical aggregates of gold nanoparticles undergo a one-to-one, thermally induced transformation into heterodimers comprising connected plate and spherical domains. By controlling the reaction time, it is possible to isolate a variety of structures differing in the relative sizes of the do…

The ability of dissolved potassium monocarboxylate salts to produce surface passivation and to inhibit aqueous corrosion of copper was studied. The electrochemical measurements indicate that the inhibiting efficiency of these compounds, with a general formula Cn-1H2n-1COOK or CnK (n=3...12), is dependent on the hydroc…

A new one-dimensional heterochiral coordination polymer [Co(bmdt)(N3)2].MeCN (1.MeCN) with well-isolated chains was prepared via a self-assembly process. Magnetic data show that intrachain ferromagnetic couplings via the single end-to-end azide group are observed, which is an extraordinary case among the azide-bridged…

Abstract Polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) are immiscible and incompatible. Since both PP and PS components possess no reactive functional group, reactive compatibilization of a PP/PS blend is impossible unless certain reactive functional groups are imparted to either PP or PS. In this study we provide a simple…

Abstract Polypropylene (PP) or, in some cases, poly (lactic acid) (PLA) were compounded with cellulosic fibres. The amount of fibres used was in the range 10–30 vol % and, in case of PP, a series of compounds was prepared with a minor amount of maleated PP as a compatibiliser. This matrix was denoted MAPP. Before comp…
