Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) for use as transparent conductive oxides on high aspect ratio Si microrod arrays. The ALD-deposited AZO films showed high optical transmittance and electrical conductivity despite their polycrystalline structures and resulted in a superior confo…

A novel observation method is proposed to study the streamer-leader propagation processes of long air-gap positive discharges. Experiments of 3-12 m air-gap discharges have been conducted in this paper. The observed images could clearly and particularly describe the characteristics of the positive streamer-leader prop…

Poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) pellets were degraded in a batch reactor under hydrothermal conditions of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, from 343 to 453 K, compared to water in the absence of NaOH. Over an entire range of conversion, components solubilized from PLLA mainly consisted of l -lactic acid (LLA) in the pre…

Abstract Wood/plastic composites (WPCs) can absorb moisture in a humid environment due to the hydrophilic nature of the wood in the composites, making products susceptible to microbial growth and loss of mechanical properties. Co‐extruding a poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)‐rich cap layer on a WPC significantly reduces the…

The negative thermal expansion (NTE) and correlated magnetic and electrical transport properties of Mn 3 Ga x Si 1− x N were investigated. For pure Mn 3 GaN, there is a large NTE effect corresponding to the antiferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition. Very interestingly, when partial Ga was replaced by Si, the NTE pr…

Two different Pd complexes are supported on the mercaptopropyltrimethoxy silyl-functionalized mesoporous material KIT-6 and their activity in the Suzuki−Miyaura cross coupling reaction is examined. Remarkably, these materials show a much greater recyclability than the corresponding SBA-15-based materials, which lose a…

The liquid-liquid phase separation of a binary solvent can be arrested by colloidal particles trapped at the interface [K. Stratford, Science 309, 2198 (2005)]. We show experimentally that the colloidal network so formed can remain stable after fully remixing the liquids, creating a new type of gel in which colloids i…
