Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out in a study of the mechanism of benzene oxidation by N 2 O to phenol over an extra framework dimeric [FeOFe] 2+ species in ZSM-5 zeolite represented by a [Si 6 A l2 O 9 H 14 (Fe(μ-O)Fe)] cluster model. The catalytic reactivity of such a binuclear species is…
Three different carbons were prepared from rice husk by steam activation at 700 ºC, H3PO4-activation followed by desilication or desilication followed by H3PO4-activation at 500 ºC. Honeycomb monoliths were obtained by mixing of a carbon with montmorillonite followed by extrusion, curing, calcination and leaching by a…
Complex nanostructures such as branched semiconductor nanotetrapods are promising building blocks for next-generation nanoelectronics. Here we report on the electrical transport properties of individual CdS tetrapods in a field effect transistor (FET) configuration with a ferroelectric Ba(0.7)Sr(0.3)TiO(3) film as hig…
In this paper, we demonstrate a controllable optical activity emerging as electric-field-dependent circular dicroism (CD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD). Such controllable optical activity may offer fascinating possibilities for the production of novel optical materials/devices. The result also supports our pre…
Abstract The effect of γ‐rays sterilization at ambient (23°C) and at dry ice temperatures (−78°C) on two biodegradable semicrystalline polyesters, namely poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL), was studied. The radical processes generated by irradiation were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonan…
The colour of electrochromic fabric, and its colour transitions, was explored on the basis of variations in underlying fabric colour. A complete understanding of this phenomenon is essential for the fabric’s use in full-colour wearable displays or other applications. Previous work in this area utilised only white-colo…
Featherlike PbTe dendrites were synthesized via a simple potentiostatic electrochemical deposition method at room temperature, employing Pb(NO 3 ) 2 and Na 2 TeO 3 as the precursors and tartaric acid as capping molecule. PbTe dendrites were deposited at the potential of −0.2 V for 5 min. This experiment was against th…
We present a novel method for producing metamaterials with a terahertz magnetic response via fiber drawing, which can be inexpensively scaled up to mass production. We draw a centimeter preform to fiber, spool it, and partially sputter it with metal to produce extended slotted resonators. We characterize metamaterial…
We devise future-oriented technology analyses tools to investigate a technology at an interesting development stage of early emerging applications. At this stage, technologies show great potential with little established commercialisation. Future development pathways are highly uncertain and heavily dependent on conte…
The sucCD gene of Advenella mimigardefordensis strain DPN7(T) encodes a succinyl coenzyme A (succinyl-CoA) synthetase homologue (EC 6.2.1.4 or EC 6.2.1.5) that recognizes, in addition to succinate, the structural analogues 3-sulfinopropionate (3SP) and itaconate as substrates. Accumulation of 3SP during 3,3'-dithiodip…
Ordered CdSe nanowire branched arrays were designed and synthesized while merging two particular structural features within a single nanomaterial. This novel CdSe nanostructure combines a branched structure and ordered single-crystalline character. The stems and branches consist of wurtzite CdSe single crystals. When…
It has been argued that the electron-hole puddles formed on graphene are mostly due to substrate-induced charged impurities [J. Martin et al., Nature Phys. 4, 144 (2008), Y. Zhang et al., Nature Phys. 5, 722 (2009)]. Here, using first-principles ab initio calculations, we show that the existence of ripples and electro…
BACKGROUND: The substitution of plastics based on fossil raw material by biodegradable plastics produced from renewable resources is of crucial importance in a context of oil scarcity and overflowing plastic landfills. One of the most promising organisms for the manufacturing of medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoat…
Elution chromatography through columns packed with agarose beads has been used to separate metallic from semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Prior studies have attributed the separation to either selective adsorption or size-exclusion (due to selective aggregation) of semiconducting SWCNTs. Initial S…
We report a facile approach to preparing binary mixed polymer brushes and free-standing films by combining the layer-by-layer and surface-initiated polymerization (LbL-SIP) techniques. Specifically, the grafting of mixed polymer brushes of poly(n-isopropylacrylamide) and polystyrene (pNIPAM-pSt) onto LbL-macroinitiato…
Micrometer- and submicrometer-scale surface roughness enhances osteoblast differentiation on titanium (Ti) substrates and increases bone-to-implant contact in vivo. However, the low surface wettability induced by surface roughness can retard initial interactions with the physiological environment. We examined chemical…
Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes were prepared by infiltration of 35 wt % La0.8Sr0.2FeO3(LSF) into porous scaffolds of three, zirconia-based electrolytes in order to determine the effect of the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte material on cathode impedances. The electrolyte scaffolds were 10 mol % Sc2O3-stab…
Abstract In this work we report the properties of nanocomposite based on PET with two different samples of organically modified montmorillonites. In particular, we studied the effect of the filler concentration on morphology, rheology, and mechanical performance, focusing our attention on the effect of the degradation…
Novel ways to detect the handedness in chiral optical metamaterials by means of the second harmonic generation (SHG) process have recently been proposed. However, the precise origin of the SHG emission has yet to be unambiguously established. In this paper, we present computational simulations of both the electric cur…
We show with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy that a new energy band appears in the electronic structure of electron-doped hydrogenated monolayer graphene (H-graphene). Its occupation can be controlled with the hydrogen amount and allows for tuning of graphene's doping level. Our calculations of the electroni…
