A shape memory composite (SMC) belt with a TiNi-shape memory alloy (SMA) wire fiber and a polyurethane-shape memory polymer (SMP) sheet matrix is fabricated. The bending actuation characteristics of the belt are investigated by the thermomechanical tests. The results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) Residual de…
An unanticipated superparamagnetic response has been observed in cobalt ferrite materials after thermal treatment under inert atmosphere. Cobalt ferrite particles were prepared via normal micelle precipitation that typically yields CoxFe3−xO4 nanoparticles (x=0.6−1.0). While samples thermally treated under oxygen show…
The use of a multiple attachment sites strategy is considered in order to improve the stability of monomolecular adlayers. The hypothesis was tested in the case of PEG-ylated compounds carrying phosphonate groups, known for their affinity toward titanium oxide surfaces. As a result, a new class of co- and terpolymers…
Data on luminescent complexes with azomethine ligands are generalized and systematized. The synthesis and luminescent properties of complexes with acyclic and cyclic azomethines are considered.
Quantum dots (QDs) have been applied to a wide range of biological studies by taking advantage of their fluorescence properties. There is almost no method to trace small molecules including medicine. Here, we used QDs for fluorescent tracers for medicine and analyzed their kinetics and dynamics. We conjugated QDs with…
This article reviews recent developments of using nanometer-sized particular matrices for supporting catalysts and catalytic organic reactions. Immobilization of a catalyst onto the surface of an Au or magnetic (e.g. Fe2O3) nanoparticle allowed facile separation and recycling of the catalyst out of the reaction mixtur…
Ternary copper(II) complexes [Cu(L1)B](ClO4) (1, 2) and [Cu(L2)B](ClO4) (3, 4), where HL1 and HL2 are tridentate NSO- and ONO-donor Schiff bases and B is a heterocyclic base, viz. dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq, 1 and 3) or dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz, 2 and 4), were prepared and their DNA binding…
We report a femtosecond pump-probe study on the photochemistry of concentrated aqueous solutions of [RuII(bpy)3]2+, as a function of pump power (up to 2 TW/cm2) at 400 nm excitation. The transient absorption spectra in the 345-660 nm range up to 1 ns time delay enable the observation of the following photoproducts: th…
Room temperature vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber coatings are used increasingly on outdoor high voltage (HV) insulators subjected to heavy pollution. An important property of the RTV coatings is the ability to restore the surface hydrophobicity after a pollutant layer has built up on the surface, which can suppress t…
Four branched polythiophenes (PTs) with different ratios of conjugated terthiophene-vinylene side chains, PT-TThV10 to PT-TThV40, were synthesized by Stille coupling reaction. The polymers exhibited reversible p-doping/dedoping (oxidation/re-reduction) and n-doping/dedoping (reduction/reoxidation) processes. The absor…
Bioglass 45S5, the prototype of bioactive melt-quenched silicate glasses, was modeled by means of Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations. Although long-range structural properties cannot be modeled by using this ab initio approach, the accuracy of CPMD simulations is exploited here to provide insight int…
The atomic and electronic structures of fluorinated BN nanotubes (BNNTs) were investigated by generalized gradient approximation (GGA) density functional theory (DFT). The reaction energies of F2 with pristine single-walled BNNTs to form fluorinated BNNTs are exothermic up to 50% coverage. At lower F coverages (below…
We report the preparation of highly ordered mesoporous Fe-Al-SBA-15 with isolated extraframework Fe species under acidic conditions. The materials were characterized by means of UV resonance Raman spectroscopy, in conjunction with BET, XRD, TEM, UV-vis, H2-TPR, FT-IR, and 27Al MAS NMR spectroscopy. The addition of bot…
The statistical spread of intrinsic data retention times in phase-change memory (PCM) cells is studied. Based on the crystallization and percolation model described in part 1, the crystalline grain size in the amorphous volume after data loss is extracted. From the temperature dependence of grain size, the authors cal…
Abstract Chitin and chitosan are natural based non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible polymers and have been used in biomedical areas in the form of sutures, wound healing materials and artificial skin, and for the sustained release of drugs as well as in various industrial applications. However, practical use of…
High conductive and transparent thin films based on carbon nanotube – poly(3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate), PEDOT-PSS blends have been used to replace the conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) as the hole collecting electrode in organic photovoltaic cells. Using PEDOT:PSS as the host material, excel…
A simple strategy is reported for the synthesis of well-defined graft copolymers of poly(methyl methacrylate- co -2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) P(MMA- co -HEMA) with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) grafted chains. Using scCO 2 as the only solvent, a one-step synthetic approach is adopted to prepare copolymer backbones via a…
During a hypothetical severe accident in a pressurized water reactor (PWR), fission products (FPs) are released from the nuclear fuel and may reach the reactor containment building. Among the FPs, ruthenium is of particular interest due to its ability to form volatile oxide compounds in highly oxidizing conditions. In…
Chemical byproducts analysis has been recognized as a powerful diagnosis method for SF6gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). The authors have previously demonstrated that a carbon nanotube (CNT) gas sensor could detect partial discharge (PD) generated in SF6gas. However, PD-generated decomposition gas species, which were re…
Ga doped ZnO (GZO) thin films were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on glass substrate at room temperature. Structural, optical, and electrical properties of these films were analyzed in order to investigate their dependence on oxygen pressure and rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature. High quality GZO films wi…
