Effects of the combined addition of niobium (Nb) and boron (B) and of molybdenum (Mo) and B on hardenability were investigated using low carbon steels. Strength synergically increases due to the combined addition of Nb and B and that of Mo and B. It is thought that strength increases due to these combined additions be…
Nanocrystalline perovskite-type LaFeO3 with particle size of about 30 nm was prepared by a sonochemical method using iron pentacarbonyl and lanthanum carbonate as starting materials. The overall process involves three steps: formation of lanthanum carbonate using lanthanum nitrate and urea; reaction of the so-formed l…
Entrapment of enzymes and nanoparticles using biosilicification reactions.
Titanium base alloys are among the most important advanced materials for a wide variety of aerospace, marine, industrial and commercial applications, due to their high strength/weight ratio and good corrosion behavior. Although titanium is generally considered to be reasonably resistant to chemical attack, severe prob…
L-3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) is an unusual amino acid found in mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) that is believed to lend adhesive characteristics to these proteins. Most previous efforts to incorporate DOPA into hydrogels have utilized oxidative cross-linking, which is hypothesized to reduce the adhesive propert…
This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of hetero-chitosans and their oligosaccharides against three Gram-negative bacteria and five Gram-positive bacteria. Nine classes of hetero-chitosan oligosaccharides consisted of partially deacetylated chitosans; 90%, 75%, and 50% deacetylated chitosans…
Porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) was impregnated with aqueous solutions of the nitrate salts of Sr, La, and Co to obtain composites of La 0.6 Sr 0.4 CoO 3 − δ (LSCo) and YSZ. X-ray diffraction showed that the perovskite phase formed after heating to 973 K and conductivities as high as 7 S/cm were achieved at 97…
Benzotriazolate, ethyl xanthate, and oxalate anion-exchanged hydrotalcite (HT) pigments are evaluated with respect to their ability to inhibit filiform corrosion (FFC) on organic coated AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy. Following FFC initiation by application of aqueous HCl to a penetrative coating defect, the time-dependent…
Vanadium oxide aerogels have received considerable interest as a reversible electrode material for lithium secondary batteries. The aerogel morphology is a critical factor in obtaining the electrochemical properties of these materials. The present paper reports on the synthesis of by freeze-drying, an alternative appr…
We report a study of the epoxidation of soybean oil and soybean methyl esters with hydrogen peroxide in dilute solution (6 wt%) using an amorphous heterogeneous Ti/SiO2 catalyst in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol. The influence of some relevant process variables such as temperature and the hydrogen peroxide-to-doub…
The self-assembly based on 2D motifs with side arms leads to the formation of a new type of polythreaded network which exhibits a 2-fold interpenetrated 3D array if H-bonds are taken into account.
The movement of an all polymeric triple-layer artificial muscle based on polypyrrole (PPy) that work in aqueous solution was characterised. The magnitude and direction of the experimental current control both rate and direction of the movement. The described angle is a linear function of the consumed charge.
Computer simulation techniques have been used to investigate the defect chemistry of perovskite-structured ionic conductors based upon AZrO(3)(A = Ca, Ba) and LaMO(3)(M = Sc, Ga). Our studies have examined dopant site-selectivity, oxide ion migration and dopant-defect association at the atomic level. The energetics of…
A series of cationic, zwitterionic and anionic macrocyclic europium complexes has been prepared incorporating a N or C- linked acridone chromophore that allows sensitisation of Eu emission following excitation at 390-410 nm. Each of these complexes selectively binds bicarbonate at physiological pH and reversible bindi…
Neutron elastic scattering was used to determine the structure of as-received and lithiated amorphous SiO which has been proposed as an anode material for lithium ion secondary batteries. Based on a comparison between the total radial distribution functions of SiO and it was suggested that amorphous SiO is composed of…
The possibility to understand natural strategies to build‒up silica SiO 2 networks relies on the investigations of the kinetics of silica precursors polymerization in the presence of biopolymers. The silicomolybdic acid spectrophotometric method allows to study this process at the molecular level, provided that reliab…
Biomorphic SiC (bioSiC) ceramics are a new class of materials produced with natural, renewable resources (wood or wood‐based products). A wide variety of Si/SiC composites can be fabricated by melt Si‐infiltration of wood and cellulose‐derived carbonaceous templates. This technology provides a low‐cost and eco‐friendl…
We have analyzed the physical origins of the temperature gradient of the ordinary refractive index ( dn(o) /dT) of liquid crystals. To achieve a large dn(o) /dT , high birefringence and low clearing temperature play crucial roles. Based on these simple guidelines, we formulated two exemplary liquid crystal mixtures, d…
The modulated crystal structure of an antigorite polysome with m = 17 was refined by single crystal X-ray diffraction in the Pm space group, using highly ordered single crystals from Val Malenco, Italy. The chemical composition is (Mg 2.673 Fe 2+ 0.098 Fe 3+ 0.015 Al 0.035 Cr 0.007 Ni 0.003 Mn 0.002 ) Σ=0 . 823 (Si 1.…
The genus Pseudo-nitzschia includes a number of species responsible for blooms in coastal and open waters worldwide. P. delicatissima, a species reported as a potential source of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP), reaches high concentrations in the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea), where it regularly blooms in sprin…
