Abstract The dispersion of clay in a polymer matrix is influenced by two factors: the choice of organic treatment for the clay and the processing or mixing method. Maximum benefits are achieved when the platelets are well dispersed or exfoliated. Exfoliated nanocomposites are formed when the individual clay layers bre…

The assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) using the AC dielectrophoresis technique is studied theoretically. It is found that the comb electrode bears better position control of SWCNTs compared to the parallel electrode. In the assembly, when some SWCNTs bridge the electrode first, they can greatly alter…

phosphors were prepared by a Pechini sol-gel process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence, cathodoluminescence spectra, as well as lifetimes were utilized to characterize the synthesized phosphors. XRD results reveal that the sample begi…

Nearly all ferromagnetic transitions have been considered to be continuous or second order, and the most typical examples are the ferromagnetic transitions in Ni, Fe, Co, and ${\text{CoFe}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{4}$. However, by precise measurement with electrical resistivity or impedance and differential scanning calorimetr…

Laterally-coupled distributed feedback (LC-DFB) lasers use a lithographic fabrication step to define the distributed feedback grating, avoiding subsequent regrowth. Using higher order gratings can enhance the lithographic tolerance for lower resolution patterning, yielding lasers more amenable to fabrication. We show…

A series of cellulose/soy protein isolate (SPI) sponges was prepared using a freeze-drying process. The effect of the SPI content on the structure of the sponges was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It showed that…

Four new Gd(III) complexes based on the 1,2-hydroxypyridinone chelator have been synthesized and evaluated as potential magentic resonance imaging contrast agents. Previously reported work examining Gd-TREN-1,2-HOPO (3; HOPO = hydroxypyridinone) suggests that the 1,2-HOPO unit binds strongly and selectively to Gd(III)…
