Using computational models, we investigate how the aspect ratio of nanoparticle fillers within a polymer coating affects the ability of the film to heal nanoscale defects in the underlying substrate. We first consider the interactions between the filled polymer melt and a flat surface and show that the depletion attra…

This report shows that Salmonella enterica catabolizes ethanolamine to acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA), which enters the glyoxylate bypass and tricarboxylic acid cycle for the generation of energy and central metabolites. During growth on ethanolamine, S. enterica excreted acetate, whose recapture depended on Ac-CoA synthetase (A…

Fully oxidized alpha-AlIIIW12O40(5-) (1ox), and one-electron-reduced alpha-AlIIIW12O40(6-) (1red), are well-behaved (stable and free of ion pairing) over a wide range of pH and ionic-strength values at room temperature in water. Having established this, 27Al NMR spectroscopy is used to measure rates of electron exchan…

Stoichiometric BaTiO3 ceramics fabricated from sol-gel-derived powders and sintered at temperatures ⩽1100°C are highly insulating and electrically homogeneous. At higher sintering temperatures, samples gradually lose oxygen and the conductivity increases as a consequence. The latter phenomena are very sensitive to the…
