Here, we report the fabrication of a curcumin-releasing porous silk fibroin scaffold by simple mixing of fibroin solution (aqueous) with curcumin solution (organic) followed by freeze-thaw of the mixture. The scaffold has a uniform pore distribution with an average pore size of ~115 μm and a degree of swelling of 2.42…

Abstract Bismaleimide‐triazine (BT) resin/hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) composites are prepared, and the effects of h‐BN content on the thermal and dielectric properties are studied in the view of structure–property relationship. It is found that the introduction of the BN in the BT resin dramatically improve the the…

Nano-sized magnesium ferrite was synthesised using co-precipitation and sol-gel techniques. Structural characterisation was performed using X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer and scanning electron microscope. XRD analysis reveals the prepared samples are single phasic without an…

Disproportionation of benzyl alcohol has been identified as the source of toluene formation in the solvent free oxidation of benzyl alcohol using supported gold palladium catalysts. There is a slight increase in the disproportionation reaction, and hence the toluene selectivity, when this reaction is performed in a co…

Molecular dynamics simulations based on many-body interatomic potentials are conducted to investigate the formation of unidirectional ripples in zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons with clamped edges under in-plane uniform strain. The ripple formation is found to be a result of buckling under in-plane membrane fo…

Flax fibres are being considered as an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fibres in fibre-reinforced polymer composites due to their low density, biodegradability, and high mechanical strength. Previous work has found that the surface properties of natural fibres can be modified by chemical treatment an…

The reversible switching of a water-soluble spiropyran compound is recorded over 1 ns by means of femtosecond vis-pump/vis- and IR-probe spectroscopy under aqueous conditions. Our investigations reveal that the photochemical conversion from the closed spiropyran to the open merocyanine takes 1.6 ps whereas the reverse…

In this work, we report the creation of a grooved surface comprising 3 μm grooves (height ~4 μm) separated by 3 μm from each other on a silicon wafer by photolithography. The grooved surface was then modified chemically with a fluorosilane layer (FOTS). The surface property was studied by both static and dynamic conta…

Klein ist wunderschön: Das ringverengte Porphyrin-Derivat Norcorrol wurde effizient an einem Nickel-Templat synthetisiert. Der resultierende Norcorrol-Komplex ist zwar nach der Hückel-Regel deutlich antiaromatisch, erwies sich aber als stabil und konnte durch Oxidation in einen aromatischen Oxacorrol-Komplex überführt…
