The reaction of NH(3) on the surface of the 011-faceted structure of the TiO(2)(001) single crystal is studied and compared to that on the O-defected surface. Temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) conducted after NH(3) adsorption at 300 K shows only molecular desorption at 340 K. Modeling of TPD signals as a functio…

Dual activity of phosphoryl choline (PC) functional poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) was found which induces the zwitterionic biomimetic PC group to form physical cross-links with ionomers in the bulk, and at the same time enrich at the surface of cast films. The formation of zwitterionic domains from a bifunctiona…
