Monodispersed silver nanoparticles capped by long-chain alkyl carboxylates were prepared by the reaction of silver carboxylate with tertiary amine at 80 degrees C for 2 h. This approach is a unique, size-controlled synthetic method for the large-scale preparation of silver nanoparticles. Long-chain alkyl carboxylate d…
The present work studies, in a comparative manner, the sigma phase precipitation of three stainless steels: austenitic type 316L (17Cr–12Ni–2·5Mo, wt-%), superferritic type DIN W. Nr. 1·4575 (Nb–28Cr–4Ni–2Mo, wt-%) and duplex type DIN W. Nr. 1·4462 or UNS S31803 (22Cr–5·5Ni–3Mo–0·14N, wt-%). In austenitic stainless st…
Abstract Barrier formation and increasing the melt viscosity are addressed as the two main general fire retardancy mechanisms of polymer nanocomposites. They result in specific impacts on fire properties that consequentially cause varying flame retardancy efficiency in different fire tests. The barrier formation retar…
Nanoparticle Flow: Implications for Drug Delivery (A T Florence) Polymer Micelles as Drug Carriers (E V Batrakova et al.) Lipoproteins as Pharmaceutical Carriers (S Liu et al.) Dendrimers as Nanoparticular Drug Carriers (S Svenson & D A Tomalia) Cells and Cell Ghosts as Drug Carriers (J M Lanao & M L Sayalero) Magneti…
We describe the synthesis and characterization of a series of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) functionalized with polyamidoamine dendrimers. Importantly, the dendrimers are linked directly to the SWNT surface using a divergent methodology. This approach allows the number of functional groups on the nanotubes to b…
A general many-body nonequilibrium Green's function approach for interacting phonons is developed, and applied to study the thermal conductance of an anharmonic molecular junction between two solid surfaces. We investigate the dependence of the nanojunction's thermal conductance on temperature, force constants, and bo…
Purpose To investigate the inhibitive effect of gum arabic (GA) for the corrosion of aluminium in alkaline (NaOH) medium and determine its adsorption characteristics. The present work is another trial to find a cheap and environmentally safe inhibitor for aluminium corrosion. Design/methodology/approach The inhibition…
Hydrothermally synthesized BaTiO 3 powders with nanoscale-sized particles were densified by microwave sintering. A sintered sample of the nanopowder fabricated by hydrothermal synthesis has a high piezoelectric constant d 33 due to fabrication by microwave sintering. The maximum value of the piezoelectric constant d 3…
Carbon materials have been prepared using zeolite 13X or zeolite Y as template and acetonitrile or ethylene as carbon source via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at 550-1000 degrees C. Materials obtained from acetonitrile at 750-850 degrees C (zeolite 13X) or 750-900 degrees C (zeolite Y) have high surface area (1170-1…
Gd(III) chelates are often used as reporting probes in magnetic resonance imaging applications. Their use relies on the assumption that their high stability ensures against the release of free ligand and free Gd(3+) ions, which are both highly toxic to living systems. The presence of free Gd(3+) ions may have a profou…
To overcome the power delivery limitations of batteries and energy storage limitations of ultracapacitors, hybrid energy storage systems, which combine the two energy sources, have been proposed. A comprehensive review of the state of the art is presented. In addition, a method of optimizing the operation of a battery…
Abstract Liquid metal foam can be generated by creating gas inside a liquid or semi‐liquid metallic melt which has been pre‐treated in a suitable way. Such foams are self‐supporting disordered structures in complete analogy to aqueous foams. The stabilisation mechanism of metallic foams is still not fully understood.…
A new technique for the automated tracing of protein chains in experimental electron-density maps is described. The technique relies on the repeated application of an oriented electron-density likelihood target function to identify likely C positions. This function is applied both in the location of a few promising `s…
In this paper, we report a new doping approach using a three-step synthesis to make high-quality Mn-doped CdS/ZnS core/shell nanocrystals. This approach allows precise control of the Mn radial position and doping level in the core/shell nanocrystals. On the basis of this synthetic advance, we have demonstrated the fir…
We report the initial observation of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in a conducting metal oxide thin film. The SPR phenomenon has been observed by attenuated total reflection of near-infrared radiation and is in agreement with electron energy loss spectroscopy measurements. To date, only metals are known to exhibit s…
One-dimensional (1-D) metallic nanoscale materials have long been of interest to many groups of scientists. Within the last 2 decades, great advances in the synthesis of metallic nanorods and nanowires have been made, with a variety of templating methods. More recently, bottom-up chemical syntheses of these materials…
Interfacial thermal transport between offset parallel (10,10) single-wall carbon nanotubes is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation and analytical thermal modeling as a function of nanotube spacing, overlap, and length. A four order of magnitude reduction in interfacial thermal resistance is found as the nanot…
Focused electron-beam-induced (FEB-induced) deposition and etching are versatile, direct-write nanofabrication schemes that allow for selective deposition or removal of a variety of materials. Fundamentally, these processes are governed by an electron-induced reaction with a precursor vapor, which may either result in…
This article reviews the existing theoretical models describing the interface-induced phenomena which affect the switching characteristics and dielectric properties of ferroelectric thin films. Three groups of interface-induced effects are addressed—namely, “passive-layer-type” effects, ferroelectric-electrode contact…
Recent patent and technical works indicate a growing interest in halogen-free solutions with the predominance of the literature focusing on phosphorus-based flame retardants. Patents published on the flame retardancy of polycarbonate and its blends significantly exceed the number of patents on flame retardancy of any…
