We report a method to generate and isolate 22 and 29 kDa core mass gold:benzenethiolate monolayer-protected cluster (MPC) molecules and a subsequent reaction to yield [(octyl)4N]2[Au44(SC6H5)28] (8.7 kDa core) clusters from these materials. Characterization methods for these 1.0-1.7 nm molecules include vibrational, e…
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were oxidized with concentrated HNO 3 and H 2 SO 4 to introduce carboxylic groups onto MWNT surfaces. The oxidized MWNTs were reacted subsequently with thionyl chloride, glycol, and 2-bromo-2-methylpropionyl bromide, producing MWNT-based macroinitiators, MWNT-Br, for the atom trans…
We report a high-yield synthesis of single-crystal hexagonal Sb2Te3 nanoplates using a solvothermal approach. The experimental results show that the concentration of capping agent CTAB played a key role in the formation of nanoplates. This new nanostructure may provide opportunity for the exploration of novel thermoel…
A new family of main-chain organoborane polymeric Lewis acids (PTh-BAr) that contain Lewis acidic boron groups embedded into a polythiophene backbone has been prepared under mild conditions through tin-boron exchange reaction. When phenyl and pentafluorophenyl groups are attached to boron, blue and green luminescence…
Monodispersive size-controlled gold nanoplates were synthesized with high purity from the reduction of hydrogen tetrachloroaurate by reduced amount of sodium citrate, which kinetically controls the reaction pathway, in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). With the insufficient addition of the reductant, the…
Cellulose nanocrystals are promising as a new class of reinforcing material for the preparation of nanostructured composites. We report here the preparation of cellulose nanocrystal multilayer composites with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) using layer-by-layer assembly (LBL) technique. The LBL assembly was cha…
We report ultraviolet electroluminescence at 390 nm from diode structures consisting of electrodeposited ZnO nanorods sandwiched between a transparent SnO(2) film and a p-type conducting polymer. The nanorods are embedded in an insulating polystyrene layer. ZnO deposition occurs at 90 degrees C and produces vertically…
An overview of the application of power ultrasound to crystallization of organic molecules, and the equipment developed in recent years in which sonocrystallization and sonochemistry may be carried out at industrial scale, is presented. It includes both results from the research and development programs carried out by…
We report on the controlled synthesis of single-crystal platelets of alpha- and beta-Co(OH)2 via homogeneous precipitation using hexamethylenetetramine as a hydrolysis agent. The alpha- and beta-Co(OH)2 hexagonal platelets of several micrometers in width and about 15 nm in thickness were reproducibly yielded in rather…
Low viscosity high birefringence nematic liquid crystalline compounds and mixtures are described. They belong to the families of 4'-alkyl-3-fluoro-4-isothiocyanatobiphenyls, 4"-alkyl-3,5-difluoro-4-isothiocyanatoterphenyls, 4'-alkyl-3-fluoro-4-isothiocyanatotolanes and 4'-(4-alkylphenyl)-3,5-difluoro-4-isothiocyanatot…
Abstract Lithium‐chromium ferrites Li 0.5 Fe 2.5– x Cr x O 4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.55) were studied using X‐ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. X‐ray diffraction patterns show that all samples have cubic spinel structure. The temperature dependent magnetic measurements revealed that a magnetic…
Room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV SIR) coatings are employed in order to improve the pollution performance of high voltage ceramic insulators by imparting surface hydrophobicity. In this paper, the performance of three RTV SIR coatings containing different fillers is investigated in a salt-fog test. Alu…
A comparative study on acid and hydrothermal methods as ways to reduce interlamellar charge has been carried out on a vermiculite. This study showed that the application of the hydrothermal treatment as a previous step to pillaring the vermiculites, reported here for the first time, is a new route to obtain the porous…
Abstract The microstructural, rheological, and mechanical properties of polymer blends composed of continuous polypropylene (PP) and styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) phases are reported. Two series of materials are studied: a commercial SBR and PP fraction varied over 20–45 wt% and four custom synthesized SBR materials,…
Abstract Polyfuran (PFu), poly(2‐bromoaniline) (P2BrAn), and poly(2‐bromoaniline)/polyfuran (P2BrAn/PFu) composites were synthesized by coupling using various solvents and oxidants. 2‐Bromoaniline (2BrAn) was polymerized using FeCl 3 and (NH 4 ) 2 S 2 O 8 in aqueous HCl medium. PFu was synthesized using FeCl 3 and SbC…
Here we report the preparation of nanocrystalline silica capped yttrium silicate doped with cerium and a study on its photoluminescence (PL) properties. The preparation method presented is simple and unique and can easily be scaled up for bulk production. The material shows blue luminescence at room temperature, and i…
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy shows that a Mott-Hubbard type metal-insulator transition occurs at the Rb adsorbed surface of the layered charge-density-wave compound 1T-TaS2. The transition is driven by adsorption induced modifications of the charge-density wave and of the interlayer coupling, leading to a…
The VUV excited luminescent properties of REBa3B9O18 (RE = Lu, Tb, Gd, Eu) were investigated. The bands near 160 nm in the VUV excitation spectra of those compounds are attributed to the host absorptions; at the same time, the energy of host absorption is shifted to a higher energy region with decreasing RE3+ radius.…
Abstract In an attempt to develop a desirable resin formulation for spilled oil absorption, segmented polyurethanes of various types and lengths of hard and soft segments have been synthesized and tested for X‐ray diffraction, thermal, mechanical, and dynamic mechanical properties in addition to oil and water absorpti…
