The hydrogen spillover mechanism has been discussed in the field of hydrogen storage and is believed to have particular advantage over the storage as metal or chemical hydrides. We investigate conditions for practicality realizing the hydrogen spillover mechanism onto carbon surfaces, using first-principles methods. O…

Plasma expanders such as dextran and hydroxyethyl starch (HES) are important components of solutions designed to maintain vascular volume in the clinical setting and to preserve organs ex vivo before transplantation. Here, we show that these polymers also exert stabilizing effects on engineered microvessels in microfl…

The effects of salt on emulsions containing sorbitan oleate (Span 80) and Laponite particles were investigated. Surprisingly, a novel double phase inversion was induced by simply changing the salt concentration. At fixed concentration of Laponite particles in the aqueous phase and surfactant in paraffin oil, emulsions…

In the present study, surface-enhanced Raman spectra of a bifunctional Raman reporter, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, has been found to be responsive exclusively towards Cu(2+) ions while the reporter remains anchored on the Au nanoparticle surface. Thus a specific Cu(2+)-ion-detection protocol emerges. The simplicity, sens…

Growth conditions of InAs/GaAs QD layers determine such parameters as density, homogeneity and original size of QDs. The aim of the chapter is to elucidate the processes during QD capping by reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) in situ measurements and to discuss the influence of the capping layer composition and…

Abstract Poly(ethylene‐ co ‐octene)/multiwall carbon nanotube (PEOc/MWNT) nanocomposites were prepared by a melt blending process. The MWNT's solubility and the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation indicated that the MWNT bonded well with a PEOc matrix. This facilitated the orientation of the MWNT when s…

Abstract Titanium powder is typically sintered in high vacuum to achieve high density and low oxygen. Sintered materials usually have coarse grain size or coarse lamellar structure if it is the Ti–6Al–4V alloy. A novel process—hydrogen sintering and phase transformation (HSPT)—for sintering Ti in hydrogen is studied i…
