Corrosion-resistant materials under atmospheric conditions can suffer from localized corrosion (e.g., pitting, crevice, stress-corrosion cracking). The stability of such a localized corrosion site requires that the site (anode) must dissolve at a sufficiently high rate to maintain the critical chemistry while a wetted…
Ferroelectric liquid crystal(FLC)has self-organized helical stuctures,which makes it have the charcter of one-dimension photonic crystal.When light propagates in FLC,the photonic band would emerge.Lasing in dye-doped FLC could occur at the edge of pseudo photonic band under excited by a pump beam,and lasing wavelength…
A readily recycled and regenerated heterogeneous catalyst of 9-thiourea epi-quinine supported on mesoporous silica exhibits enhanced enantioselectivity (up to 99.2%) in the asymmetric Friedel-Crafts reaction of imines with indoles.
The objective of the present study was to synthesize core-corona nanoparticles of doxorubicin (DOX) using hyaluronic acid-polyethyleneglycol-polycaprolactone (HA-PEG-PCL) copolymer for tumor targeting. Targeting efficiency of HA-PEG-PCL nanoparticles was compared with non-HA-containing nanoparticles (methoxy poly ethy…
Recently developed strategies and conditions to provide rational control of inorganic crystal growth via electrodeposition are presented with a specific focus on the systematic tuning of crystal habit and the regulation of branching growth. Precise morphology control is critical to investigate the effect that a materi…
Proton conducting oxides such as BaCe0.9Y0.1O3−δ have considerable promise for intermediate temperature fuel cells. Unfortunately these tend to be unstable, e.g. to attack by carbonation. Previous work has highlighted the possibility of utilising barium zirconate to provide a chemically stable electrolyte; however suc…
We report a novel strategy to synthesize nanofiber arrays of conducting polypyrrole with controlled lengths. Combining the merits of the electrochemical polymerization and the interfacial chemical polymerization, our biphasic electrochemical strategy can control the lengths of nanofibers from several hundred nanometre…
Nitrogen-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized through a wet-chemical route. Nitrogen has been successfully incorporated into CeO2 nanoparticles and the nitrogen-doping level was also successfully controlled. The optical properties due to the different N-doping levels in CeO2 nanoparticles were characterized by UV…
The anodic film generated in acid electrolytes on high-purity aluminum shows a porous morphology, formed by the packing of approximately hexagonal cells of alumina, containing a centrally located cylindrical pore. Conversely, during anodizing of an AA2024 T3 alloy, the presence of alloying elements, both in solid solu…
Monodispersed silver selenide (Ag2Se) nanoparticles have been prepared successfully by a hydrothermal reaction of AgNO3 with Na2SeSO3 in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and KI at 180 °C for 20 h. TEM revealed that the nanoparticles are much like husked rice with lengths of about 60–80 nm and widths of ab…
Gold-cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) nanocomposites were prepared by simultaneous photoinduced electron transfer and free radical polymerization processes.
A color filter based on a subwavelength patterned grating in poly silicon was proposed and realized on a quartz substrate. It was produced by utilizing the laser interference lithography technique to feature wide effective area compared to the costly e-beam lithography. An oxide layer was introduced on top of the sili…
Plasma damage to low k dielectric materials was investigated from a mechanistic point of view. Low k dielectric films were treated by Ar, O2, N2, N2∕H2, and H2 plasmas in a standard reactive ion etching chamber and the damage was characterized by angle resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray reflectivity, Fou…
Routine and reliable syntheses of self-assembled hybrid materials with tuneable functionalities are urgently required if novel functional nanostructures are to be developed for real-life applications and economic commercialization. This Highlight presents an overview of recent progress in the synthesis and use of a ne…
Chiral Schiff bases (1H to 4H) and a series of their Group 4 metal alkoxide complexes [(R-1)2Ti(O(i)Pr)2, (R-2)2Ti(O(i)Pr)2, (R-1)(2)Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (R-2)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (R-3)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (R-4)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2, (S-1)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2 and (rac-1)2Zr(O(i)Pr)2] have been prepared and characterised by 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. In…
Isotopically substituted rhodamine dyes provide ideal probes for the study of single-molecule surface enhanced Raman scattering (SM-SERS) events through multiple-analyte techniques. Isotopic editing should, in principle, provide probes that have identical chemical properties (and surface chemistries); while exhibiting…
Effect of rare-earth elements (Y and Dy) on the mechanical properties of Mg solid solution single crystal is investigated. Comparing with the effect of other elements reported by previous studies, the solid solution strengthening by Y and Dy are much higher than that of other additives such as Zn for basal slip operat…
The mechanism accounting for the self-organization of nanoscale pores during anodic oxidation of aluminium is studied. Microstructural studies support the equifield strength model, which can be used to explain the formation of the hemispherical electrolyte/oxide and oxide/metal interfaces, uniform thickness of the oxi…
The rheological properties of highly concentrated suspensions of hard sphere particles are studied with particular reference to the rheological response of shear induced crystals. Using practically monodisperse hard spheres, we prepare shear induced crystals under oscillatory shear and examine their linear and non-lin…
Recent research has indicated that dielectric properties of polymer insulating materials might be improved by the inclusion of nanosized particles dispersed in the polymer matrix. Insulating materials in power apparatus are often exposed to surface discharges in the course of normal operation. Surface degradation due…
