Uniform and cube-structured RE3+ (RE=Pr,Tb) -doped CaSn O3 phosphors have been successfully synthesized by a two-step approach including the room-temperature synthesis of CaSn (OH)6 precursors with the help of cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide surfactant and then converted to CaSn O3 by calcination at 750°C. The decomposi…
Selective condensation of 5-ferrocenyldipyrromethane, 1, and dipyrromethane, 2, with benzaldehyde, 3, led to 5-ferrocenyl-10,20-diphenylporphyrin, 5. During the condensation, an unusually large amount of scrambling was observed which led to the isolation of two further ferrocenylated porphyrin analogues 6 and 7. The s…
Switchable supramolecular self-assemblies based on the interaction between pyridine group containing diarylethene unit (BTEPy) and carboxylic acids were designed and fabricated in this report. Fluorescent enhancement was observed in all of these assembled systems not only in solution, but also in the solid state as we…
We report the synthesis and inkjet processing of water dispersable polyaniline composite materials with a high carbon nanotube loading fraction. Printed films displayed good optical transparency, sheet resistance and electrochromic behaviour, allowing switching between yellow, green and blue.
The surface treatment with Tb-vapor sorption improves the magnetic properties of small-sized magnets. Microstructure of the Tb-treated magnets was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). By applying the Tb-treatment, the diffusion of Tb through grain boundaries occurred even inside the magnets, and the…
Combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), IR reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) and molecular beam (MB) techniques, we have investigated particle size effects on a Pd/Fe(3)O(4) model catalyst. We focus on the particle size dependence of (i) CO adsorption, (ii) oxygen adsorption and (iii) Pd nanoparticle ox…
The reaction of a saddle-distorted Mo(v)-dodecaphenylporphyrin complex and a Keggin-type polyoxometalate gives a discrete and nanosized molecule, [{Mo(DPP)(O)}(2)(H(2)SiW(12)O(40))], which involves direct coordination between the Mo(v) centers and terminal oxo groups of the polyoxometalate and exhibits excellent stabi…
A novel phase-field model for electrochemical processes, in which cations were driven by an electrostatic potential coupled with a thermodynamic potential, was formulated from a variation of the Ginzburg–Landau free-energy functional. Using this model, an electrodeposition process of copper deposits from copper-sulfat…
W/C emulsions were stabilized using hydrophobic silica particles adsorbed at the interface, resulting in average droplet diameters as low as 7.5 microm. A porous cross-linked shell was formed about a hydrophilic (colloidal and fumed) silica core with a trifunctional silylating agent, (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydr…
In this paper, polymer nanocapsules embedded with noble metal nanoparticles and showing a good catalytic activity were prepared by a novel and convenient method.
Macroporous copper with a complex hyperbolic morphology and superior mechanical properties was produced by replicating the remarkable form of a sea urchin skeletal plate using templated electrochemical deposition.
Microfluidic systems provide a unique platform for investigation of fundamental reaction processes, which is critical to understanding how to control nanostructure synthesis on a production scale. We have examined the synthesis of cysteine-capped CdS quantum dot nanocrystals (CdS-Cys) between two interdiffusing reagen…
There has been relatively little effort to provide a systematic overview of different forms of exploratory experimentation (EE). The present paper examines the growing subdiscipline of nanotoxicology and suggests that it illustrates at least four ways that researchers can engage in EE: searching for regularities; deve…
Rutile type crystal structures and their derivatives are based on the same topology of primary bonds: straight chains of edge-sharing coordination octahedra are connected via corner-sharing to four surrounding chains. Twenty derivatives are known. Some are based on an ordering of cations, others on an ordering of anio…
A simple synthetic route to highly luminescent, water-soluble CdTe nanoparticles and their use in biological imaging is presented. The new synthetic pathway utilises a simply-prepared, water-soluble tellurium precursor which is easily handled and stored and the resulting growth processes are discussed.
In the last ten to fifteen years, self-assembly has been increasingly employed to construct discrete supramolecular structures. In most cases, due to the thermodynamic factors that drive the self-assembly process, the final architectures produced by this approach are not kinetically robust. Thus, when robust structure…
Chitin is a versatile environmentally friendly modern material. It has a wide range of applications in areas such as water treatment, pulp and paper, biomedical devices and therapies, cosmetics, membrane technology and biotechnology and food applications. Crustacean waste is the most important chitin source for commer…
An experimental demonstration and analysis of a dual-state switchable magnetic metamaterial element in which the resonance excitation of the particle is controlled using an RF microelectromechanical (MEMS) switch is presented. By controlling the resonant properties of the individual ring, unit cells composed of such e…
Micelles of dendritic-linear copolymers have been developed to release a payload after infrared stimulus.
Non-woven poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and type-I collagen was then immobilized on the nanofibers after surface modification by remote plasma treatment. A collagen-coated surface was observed and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact-angle measu…
