Crystallographic textures of ferrite, bainite and martensite in hot-rolled steel sheets are thought to be inherited from developed textures of austenite due to the orientation relationship between austenite and the product phases. However, despite numerous investigations, there is still much difficulty in predicting s…

The synthesis of pyrene–pyrazole nitronyl and imino nitroxides is reported, along with characterization of the radicals by UV-Vis, PL and EPR techniques. The UV-Vis studies revealed that the nature of the spacer attached to the nitroxide plays a crucial role in the radical n–π* transition intensity. This finding forms…

Defects in a smectic liquid crystal, toric focal conic domains (TFCDs), were developed for the fabrication of thermally responsive microlens arrays. In this system, each TFCD acts as a separate focusing unit via the intrinsic molecular orientation of the TFCDs, and the focusing ability of the microlens varies with loc…

This paper shows a simple, robust and sensitive colorimetric platform for lysozyme detection. This method is based on the fact that Cys-Ala-Leu-Asn-Asn (CALNN)-capped gold nanoparticles are linked by lysozyme specifically to form aggregates. The specific interaction between lysozyme and CALNN-capped gold nanoparticles…

The structure transition of flexible MOF (MIL-53) can be adjusted by confinement of BNH(x) into MIL-53 channels. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption properties are also improved by incorporating BNH(x). At 77 K and 1 atm pressure hydrogen storage capacity can reach 2.0 wt% and CO(2) adsorption capacity is 4.5 mmol…
