We present a density functional theory study on the shape and arrangement of small BN domains embedded into single-walled carbon nanotubes. We show a strong tendency for BN hexagon formation at the simultaneous inclusion of B and N atoms within the walls of carbon nanotubes. The work emphasizes the importance of a cor…
The main objective of this paper is to investigate the thermal properties of the kenaf cellulose (0 - 50 %wt) and the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites. In addition, the effect of two different weights of compatibilizing agent, polyethylene glycol (PEG),was examined. Each sample of biocomposites was subjected…
An efficient one-pot aqueous synthesis of alloyed Cd1−xHgxTe nanocrystals (NCs) is realized and the influence of the experimental conditions and of the initial composition of the NCs on their optical properties is discussed. This approach obtains stable NCs with an emission tunable in the red and the near infrared (NI…
The syntheses, structural characterisation, and magnetic and spectroscopic properties of three new polymorphs of the spin-crossover complex [Fe(sal2-trien)][Ni(dmit)2] are reported. The results are discussed as a function of their intra- and intermolecular arrangement. Correlation of their crystal structures and magne…
Electron injection from a silver cathode into a polyethylene terephthalate film, and electron extraction at the anode, have been experimentally demonstrated. There is no experimental evidence of a threshold electric field for injection or extraction.
Abstract—The surface wave modes in the chiral negative refraction grounded slab waveguides in which the slab or cladding consists of chiral negative refraction metamaterial are investigated. The dispersion relations, electromagnetic fields, energy flow distribution and the total power of surface wave modes are present…
We have recently reported that “luminescent” SixGe1−x can be electrodeposited from 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([Py1,4]Tf2N) at room temperature. Interestingly, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([EMIm]Tf2N) ionic liquid delivers a germanium-rich SixGe1−x…
The corrosion of zinc in 0.01 to 0.04 M H 2 SO 4 was studied using gravimetric and gasometric methods of monitoring corrosion. The results obtained indicate that clarithromycin is a good adsorption inhibitor for the corrosion of zinc in H 2 SO 4 . The inhibition efficiency of clarithromycin increases with increasing c…
Aceclofenac was microencapsulated using rosin by o/w emulsion solvent evaporation technique. The effect of three formulation variable s including the drug:polymer ratio, emulsifier (polyvinyl alcohol) concentration and or ganic solvent (dichloromethane) volume were examined. The prepared batches were characterized for…
Clusters of ReO(x) are formed and attached to Pt metal particles during H(2) reduction treatment on Pt-ReO(x)/SiO(2), and the synergy between Pt metal surface and neighboring ReO(x) clusters gives high catalytic performance in the preferential CO oxidation in the presence of H(2)O and CO(2) as more realistic reaction…
Spherical particles whose surfaces are divided into two distinct chemical regions are termed Janus particles. The anisotropic architecture of Janus particles allows their directed assembly into multiple-particle structures. Here, a heteroaggregation technique between positively charged poly(2-vinylpyridine) microgel p…
Photobleaching and spectral diffusion (blue shift) of quantum dots at the solid/liquid interface are suppressed by adding mercaptoethylamine.
A straightforward strategy is presented to functionalize aqueous-phase synthesized CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with thermo-sensitive poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) via direct surface-initiated oxyanionic vinyl polymerization. The polymer grafting quantity can be facilely controlled in a wide range up…
We study the evolution of the elastic shear modulus of weakly aggregated colloidal particles during the onset of a delayed collapse under gravity. The early lifetime is characterised by an elastic shear modulus that increases logarithmically in time, following which the gels experience a catastrophic failure and the e…
HiPco and CoMoCAT single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) were fractionated with the aid of a novel perylene bisimide surfactant by combined co-surfactant and replacement density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGU).
In the current study, mechanical and tribological characteristics of neat polyester and its composites were evaluated. Polyester composites were based on either synthetic or natural fibres, i.e. chopped strand mat glass fibres reinforced polyester (CGRP) and oil palm fibres reinforced polyester (OPRP) composites. Abra…
Silver-perovskite composites with the perovskite being either (LSCF) or (LSM) were evaluated as the contact material between the ferritic interconnect alloy Crofer 22 APU and the LSM cathode. The area-specific resistances (ASRs) of the test specimens were highly dependent on the volume percentage and the type of the p…
Among emerging memory technologies that rely on the bistable change of a resistor, the conductive bridging random access memory (CBRAM) is of particular interest due to its excellent scaling potential into the sub-20 nm range and low power operation. This technology utilizes electrochemical redox reactions to form nan…
Based on ab initio calculations, we have studied the geometrical, electronic properties and chemical bonding of boron fullerenes B(32+8k) (0 < or = k < or = 7) with four-membered rings and B(32) solid phases. The relative energies and the energy gaps between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest…
We have measured and reconstructed via forward modeling a small volume of microstructure of high purity, well annealed nickel using high energy x-ray diffraction microscopy (HEDM). Statistical distributions characterizing grain orientations, intra-granular misorientations, and nearest neighbor grain misorientations ar…
