In this contribution, we describe the preparation and single-crystal X-ray diffraction of a new building block for bimetallic solid state materials. X-ray diffraction data of these complexes indicate that (PPh(4))(2)[Fe(CN)(5)imidazole]·2H(2)O crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 9.8108(15) Å, b = 11.…

Abstract Photoreorientation of a stripe pattern consisting of an MPS structure in a Langmuir‐Blodgett monolayer by irradiation with linearly polarized light is achieved for the first time using a PDMS/poly(methacrylate) diblock copolymer with a liquid crystalline azobenzene‐containing side chain. The stripe MPS patter…

Magnetostrictive materials can be used to construct high bandwidth actuators with a higher force and a larger stroke than are provided by other materials. However, their use is hindered by their complex nonlinear and hysteretic response. This response displays a significant dependence on mechanical loading. In this pa…

In our previous study, we have proposed a lamellar structure for Ala-Gly repeated copolymeric peptide, a model for crystalline region of Bombyx mori silk fibroin. Here, we propose the structure of (AGSGAG) 5 with silk II form which is a more mimic of the crystalline region of B. mori silk fibroin than (AG) 15 . The lo…

Double helical microropes of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with diameters of less than 10 µm and lengths of up to 5 cm were fabricated using a new electrospinning technique. In contrast to the typical electrospinning set-up, a negatively charged rotating collector tip was used in this work, so that the two jets from two…

The gold−zirconia yolk−shell system is an interesting catalyst for CO oxidation. The size distribution of the gold nanoparticles is very narrow, and they are well separated from each other also after treatment at high temperature, which is due to their encapsulation in crystalline zirconia hollow spheres. Because this…

We report on the fabrication of covalently crosslinked and amine-reactive hollow microcapsules using 'reactive' layer-by-layer assembly to deposit thin polymer films on sacrificial microparticle templates. Our approach is based on the alternating deposition of layers of a synthetic polyamine and a polymer containing r…

Black prisms of UFeS(3) and UFeSe(3) have been synthesized by solid-state reactions of U, Fe, and S or Se with CsCl as a flux at 1173 K. The structure of these isostructural compounds consists of layers of edge- and corner-sharing FeS(6) or FeSe(6) octahedra that are separated by layers of face- and edge-sharing US(8)…

Malachite green dye (MG) was studied as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminum in 1.0 mol dm−3 HCl and 0.5 mol dm−3 KOH using the gravimetric technique. The results revealed an inhibiting effect of MG, which was highly restrained in 0.5 M KOH and pronounced in 1.0 M HCl. MG inhibited the corrosion reaction in the acidic m…

A precise control of metallic-nanoparticle assembly is highly critical for the realization of tangible, high-performance devices or materials. Until recently, nanoparticle assembly using 1D templates had been limited to a narrow spectrum of nanoparticles as it was mostly dependent on the surface chemistry of the nanop…
