The interaction of emeraldine base (PANI-EB) with silver and gold colloids was probed by using Surface-Enhanced Resonance Raman Scattering (SERRS) at 3 different exciting radiations. Due to the great sensitivity of SERRS technique the detection limit of PANI-EB concentration was ca. 2 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) in Ag and Au c…

A series of isostructural M(mu-OH(2))(2)[Au(CN)(2)](2) (M = Co, Fe, and Mn) coordination polymers was synthesized from the reaction of M(II) with [(n)Bu(4)N][Au(CN)(2)]. The basic structural motif for these polymers is analogous to that of previously reported Cu(II)- and Ni(II)-containing polymers and contains repeati…

In this work, the synthesis of porous TiN/carbon composites via “reactive hard templating” is presented. The concept of this synthesis strategy is to use the template, responsible for the final morphology of the TiN/carbon material, as a reactant and nitrogen source; template removal is unnecessary as the final produc…

The orthophosphate phosphors, Ba3La(PO4)3 activated with Dy3+ and Gd3+-Dy3+ ions, were prepared by a solid reaction technique at high temperature. Their spectroscopic properties were investigated in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV)-visible range. We found that the introducing of Gd3+ greatly enhances the Dy3+ luminescence…

In the present paper, we report a simple approach for creating a nanocrystalline layer on the surface of stone wool fibers (SWFs) with a basalt‐like composition. The approach is based on a preoxidation process of the SWFs in atmospheric air at a temperature around the glass transition temperature ( T g ) for various d…

The purpose of this study was to compare the frictional properties of four self-ligating metal brackets, Speed, Damon 2, In-Ovation, and Time, with those of three conventionally ligated metal brackets, Time, Victory Twin, and Discovery. The self-ligating Time bracket can also be used as a conventionally ligated bracke…

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are considered to be ideal multifunctional materials for biorelated applications, but there is still some controversy regarding their toxicity. In addition, the poor dispersibility of MWCNTs in either water or organic solvents has limited their practical applications. Therefore, o…
