The goal of this work has been to prepare cellulose nanocomposites of polylactic acid (PLA), cellulose nano whiskers (CNW) and microfibers (MF). Nanocomposites were prepared by pumping an aqueous dispersion of MF and CNW into the PLA during extrusion. The prepared materials were studied using different microscopy meth…
We applied periodic density-functional theory (DFT) to investigate the dehydrogenation of ethanol on a Rh/CeO2 (111) surface. Ethanol is calculated to have the greatest energy of adsorption when the oxygen atom of the molecule is adsorbed onto a Ce atom in the surface, relative to other surface atoms (Rh or O). Before…
Ferromagnetism at room temperature is observed in one case whereas paramagnetism down to $12\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ is observed in the second case when polycrystalline ${\mathrm{Zn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}\mathrm{O}$ is synthesized under almost identical conditions. Identical x-ray diffract…
Various defect structures in a symmetric block copolymer self-assembled in thin films on neutral homogeneous and chemically nanopatterned surfaces were investigated. On neutral homogeneous surfaces, a lamellar morphology lacking long-range order was observed with a high density of defects such as dislocations and disc…
Bacterial cellulose is a natural nanomaterial produced by strains of the bacterium Acetobacter xylinum in static, shaken and agitated cultures. With fiber dimension of ~30 nm and being very hydrophilic, it is ideally suited for a broad range of biomedical applications. The bacterial cellulose fiber has a high degree o…
Dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation is used to investigate solvent flow through a slit channel grafted with stimuli-responsive polymer brushes. The coated channel can regulate solvent permeability when, in response to stimuli, the grafted polymer brush undergoes conformational changes. The effects of the gr…
New low-molecular-weight gelators can be discovered by an approach that integrates classical methods for identifying potential gelators with strategies recently developed by crystal engineers to build porous molecular networks. This hybrid approach has yielded a potent new class of selective gelators based on salts of…
This chapter will introduce the reader to the topic of nanocomposites based on cellulose and also give a short description of the content of this book. This is a relatively new research field and there is no other book available on this topic. There is a growing interest on cellulose nanocomposites in developed and de…
Novel heterocyclic quinol-type fluorophores (4 a-c) and (5 a-c) that contain substituents (R = Me, Bu, Ph) with nonconjugated linkages to the chromophore skeleton have been synthesized and their photophysical properties have been investigated in solution and in the solid state. Considerable differences in the absorpti…
Core-shell micro/nanostructured and electromagnetic functionalized polypyrrole (PPy) composites were prepared by a self-assembly process associated with the template method in the presence of p-toluenesulfonate acid (p-TSA) as the dopant, in which the spherical hydroxyl iron (Fe[OH], 0.5-5 microm in diameter) function…
The interplay between liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and crystallization at several compositions in statistical copolymer blends of poly(ethyleneco-hexene) and poly(ethylene-cobutene) has been examined by optical microscopy (OM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The ph…
A very fast self-combustion reaction was applied for the first time to the synthesis of a series of magnetic CoFe 2 O 4 −SiO 2 nanocomposites in a wide range of compositions (from 5 to 50 wt % CoFe 2 O 4 ). Combining a gelation method that adopts metal nitrates, citric acid and tetraethoxysilane as precursors with con…
The density functional theory is used to explore structural, energetic, vibrational, and optical properties of thiolated gold clusters (MeSAu)x with x = 2-12. Clusters up to (MeSAu)4 adopt Au-S ring conformations, and crownlike structures are formed for larger sizes. The clusters are essentially polymeric and show con…
Well-faceted hexagonal ZnO nanotubes were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and the subsequent aging process without any catalysts or templates. The formation of the tubular structure is closely linked to the polarity of ZnO and the selective adsorption behavior of Zn2+ amino complexes. The surface-related o…
The synthesis mechanism of anionic surfactant-templated mesoporous silica (AMS) is described. A family of highly ordered mesoporous silica structures have been synthesized via an approach based on the self-assembly of anionic surfactants and inorganic precursors by using aminopropylsiloxane or quaternized aminopropyls…
The hydrophilic polyoxotungstate [Cu20Cl(OH)24(H2O)12(P8W48O184)]25- ({Cu20P8W48}) self-assembles into single-layer, hollow, spherical "blackberry"-type structures in aqueous solutions, as studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), static light scattering (SLS), zeta potential analysis, and scanning electron microscop…
We investigate the formation of nanogaps in gold wires due to electromigration. We show that the breaking process will not start until a local temperature of typically 400 K is reached by Joule heating. This value is rather independent of the temperature of the sample environment (4.2-295 K). Furthermore, we demonstra…
Electronic structure calculation were used to predict a new material for spintronic applications. Co2Mn0.5Fe0.5Si is one example which is stable against on-site correlation and disorder effects due to the position of the Fermi energy in the middle of the minority band gap. Experimentally the sample were made exhibitin…
Coherent time-domain optical experiments on GaAs-AlAs superlattices reveal the exis-tence of an unusually long-lived acoustic mode at ~ 0.6 THz, which couples weakly to the environment by evading the sample boundaries. Classical as well as quantum states that steer clear of surfaces are generally shown to occur in the…
A sharp feature in the charge-density excitation spectra of single-crystal MgB$_{2}$, displaying a remarkable cosine-like, periodic energy dispersion with momentum transfer ($q$) along the $c^{*}$-axis, has been observed for the first time by high-resolution non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NIXS). Time-depende…
