Pt nanoparticle-supported conducting nanotubules of polypyrrole prepared by a template method exhibited excellent catalytic activity and stability for the electrooxidation of methanol in comparison to Pt supported on conventionally synthesised conducting polypyrrole.
Ten homologues of a new class of asymmetric bent-shaped compounds have been synthesized. Their mesophase behaviour was investigated by polarizing microscopy, X-ray diffraction, dielectric and electro-optical measurements. The long-chain members of the series C8–C16 exhibit the switchable antiferroelectric SmCP phase.…
carbon composites were prepared from a homogeneous suspension in which vanadium pentoxide sol and acetylene black powder were mixed with acetone acting as a surfactant. The composite was loaded on indium-tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass, and then the magnesium intercalation property and the high-rate charge-discharge perf…
Roger Davey gives his personal view on why crystallization and crystal chemistry have become red-hot topics and on the big scientific and technical issues facing the area.
The application of the pulse-radiolysis time-resolved microwave conductivity technique, "PR-TRMC", to the determination of intracolumnar charge carrier mobilities within mesomorphic discotic materials is described. A review is given of the mobility values obtained for the large variety of materials which have been stu…
The corrosive behavior of Ti and its alloys in fluoride media is well known. Based on electrochemical studies, this paper describes the effect of fluoride ions on the passive behavior of Ti6Al4V alloy in lactated Ringer's serum. The open circuit potential of the alloy in the serum, which lies in the passive region of…
An experimental investigation is performed of the crystal structure and magnetic and electrical properties of anion-deficient compositions of La 1− 3+ Ba x 2+ Mn3+O 3− 2/2− (0≤x≤0.30) which do not contain manganese ions of different vacancies. It is found that all reduced samples are single-phase perovskites with O-or…
A family of aluminium complexes supported by dianionic amine bis(phenolate) ligands are described. Treatment of ligand precursors H2O2NNPy or H2O2NNMe [H2O2NNPy = (2-C5H4N)CH2N(CH2-2-HO-3,5-C6H2(tBu)2)2; H2O2NNMe = Me2NCH2CH2N(CH2-2-HO-3,5-C6H2(tBu)2)2] with 1.1 molar equivalent of AlMe3 in toluene affords MeAl(O2NNPy…
Water-vapor sorption isotherms, relative humidity (RH) controlled powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, and new and previously published multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopic data for a wide range of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) provide greatly increased understanding of the effects of hydration state on the structure an…
Random percolation theory is a common basis for modelling intergranular phenomena such as cracking, corrosion or diffusion. However, crystallographic constraints in real microstructures dictate that grain boundaries are not assembled at random. In this work a Monte Carlo method is used to construct physically realisti…
Doping polyaniline with COO(-)-modified gold nanoparticles by forming stable layer-by-layer multilayer films can shift its electroactivity to neutral pH. The films can electrocatalyze the oxidation of NADH and offer potential applications in other fields, e.g., optoelectronics or biosensing.
Abstract Nanocomposites of polymers with montmorillonite (MMT) yield upon pyrolysis and combustion an MMT‐rich surface of the char. The prevalent approach considers this accumulation as due to the gasification of the polymer and subsequent gradual precipitation of the MMT on the surface. According to the present paper…
Mesostructured silica materials synthesised with the aid of surfactants as structure directing agents were used as templates to fabricate mesoporous carbons. By modifying the operational parameters during the synthesis, the particle size of silica can be continuously modulated from nanometric particles (∼10–20 nm) to…
On the AZ31-O magnesium alloy plates of 20 mm in thickness, basal plane texture was studied for the samples taken from different layers. Compression tests were carried out in the rolling, width and thickness directions at room temperature. Tensile tests were conducted for the specimens taken from the different layers…
Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (Siglecs) recognize sialylated glycoconjugates and play a role in cell-cell recognition. Siglec-7 is expressed on natural killer cells and displays unique ligand binding properties different from other members of the Siglec family. Here we describe the high resolution st…
Fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots [QDs]) are hypothesized to be excellent contrast agents for biomedical assays and imaging. A unique property of QDs is that their absorbance increases with increasing separation between excitation and emission wavelengths. Much of the enthusiasm for using QDs in viv…
The crystal structures of L-Ala-L-Ile, L-Ile-L-Ala, L-Val-L-Val, L-Val-L-Ile and L-Ile-L-Val are presented. Together with L-Ala-L-Val and L-Val-L-Ala they constitute a unique group of seven isostructural dipeptides with hydrophobic pores and identical three-dimensional hydrogen bond networks. Hydrophobic side chains f…
SBA-15 silica materials consisting of a collection of non-intersecting cylindrical pores of varying diameters have been utilized to try to reconcile the pore-size distribution results proceeding from the classical Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) and modern non-local density functional theory (NLDFT) approaches. To assess…
Various possibilities of polar self-organisation in low molar mass nematic, smectic and columnar liquid crystals are discussed with particular focus on the underlying molecular symmetries and interactions. Distinction is made between vector and pseudovector polarities, their quantification in terms of molecular order…
This paper develops a numerical model for calculation of eddy-current losses in a multiturn winding of a high-frequency transformer. The model assumes periodic arrangement of conductors, and uses the repeat elementary cell concept. The paper proposes analytical expressions and graphic dependences to determine effectiv…
