Peroxyformic acid has been recently assuming a growing importance due to the versatile oxidizing properties in several applications in the chemical industry. However, quite surprisingly, a lack of data exists about the kinetics of formation of this compound, an even more singular event considering that the acid, when…
Thermal transport and breakdown in Joule-heated GaN nanowires is investigated using a combination of microphotoluminescence and in situ TEM characterization. The thermal conductivity of the nanowires is estimated to be <80 W/m.K, which is substantially below the bulk GaN value. Catastrophic breakdown in individual nan…
The fullerene adducts 1a and 1b, whose molecular shapes either promote or hinder the formation of 1-D stacks, have been examined for their potential to form 1-D wire-like domains in bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells. The photovoltaic efficiency of solar cells based on blends of the stacking fullerene 1a with reg…
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) are currently of great interest due to conjoining of mesogenic ordering and rubber elasticity, exhibited in their large spontaneous thermally stimulated changes in shape. It has been shown that nanoparticles (nanotubes, photo-isomerisable dyes, magnetic nanoparticles…) can be incorporat…
The low concentration behaviour and the increase of the dielectric constant in carbon nanotubes/polymer nanocomposites near the percolation threshold are still not well understood. In this work, a numerical model has been developed which focuses on the effect of the inclusion of conductive fillers in a dielectric poly…
Abstract Oligosiloxanes containing thermally curable benzoxazine units in the main chain have been synthesized. For this purpose, first the diallyl functional monomer is synthesized through the Mannich and ring closing reaction of 4,4′‐isopropylidenediphenol (bisphenol A), formaldehyde and allylamine. Hydrosilylation…
We previously reported a series of di-2-pyridylketone thiosemicarbazone (HDpT) chelators that showed marked and selective antitumor activity (Whitnall, M.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 2006, 103, 14901-14906). To further understand their biological efficacy, we report the characterization and activity of their…
We report three new porphyrin-based, pillared paddle-wheel homologous series: porphyrin paddle-wheel frameworks PPF-3, -4, and -5. These compounds are assembled from free base or palladium tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine, M(NO(3))(2) (M = Co and Zn), and 4,4'-bipyridine via solvothermal reactions. The resulting soli…
The single-phase p-q theory for the purpose of active power filtering in the case of single-phase loads is dealt with here. A simple modification is proposed to develop a generalised single-phase p-q theory that can be utilised under the condition of distorted utility voltage. A systematic study is presented by realis…
Pure rutile and rutile-anatase composite TiO(2) nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized via an ionic liquid-assisted method by hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride in hydrochloric acid. It is found that the phase composition (ratio of rutile to anatase) of the products increases with increasing the content of…
The financial support of C.I.C.Y.T. (Project CTQ2005-08016 and Consolider Ingenio 2010 CSD2006-0003) is greatly acknowledged.
Two new n-channel polymeric semiconductors for organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on electron-depleted perylene- (PDI) and naphthalene-dicarboxyimide (NDI) polymerized with dithiophene are reported: poly{[N,N'-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthalene dicarboximide-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5'-(2,2'-bithiophene)}, P(NDI2O…
The scattering from metal nanoparticles near their localized plasmon resonance is a promising way of increasing the light absorption in thin-film solar cells. Enhancements in photocurrent have been observed for a wide range of semiconductors and solar cell configurations. We review experimental and theoretical progres…
To fabricate nanoporous electrode materials with delaminated structure, the graphene nanosheets (GNS) in the ethylene glycol solution were reassembled in the presence of rutile SnO(2) nanoparticles. According to the TEM analysis, the graphene nanosheets are homogeneously distributed between the loosely packed SnO(2) n…
The phonon properties of multiferroic BiFeO(3) (BFO) nanoparticles are studied using a Green's function technique on the basis of the Heisenberg and the transverse Ising models, taking into account anharmonic spin-phonon and phonon-phonon interaction terms. The phonon spectrum is obtained for different exchange, magne…
The retention behavior of polymers having the specific affinities of glyco-hydrolases for pulp fibers was investigated with regard to paper-strength enhancement in contaminated papermaking systems. Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) of cellulases derived from Trichoderma viride and T. reesei, and of xylanase from The…
The mechanism of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of nitric acid chemisorbed on BaNa-Y was studied over the temperature range from 200 to 400 degrees C, in the presence and absence of CO. Nitric acid dissociates to form H(+) and NO(3)(-) when chemisorbed on BaNa-Y. The results of these experiments are consisten…
Abstract The structure of ternary (PbO) x (ZnO) (0.6− x ) (P 2 O 5 ) 0.4 glasses was investigated using Raman scattering and infrared spectroscopy over the compositional range x = 0–0.6. No significant change of the average chain length composed by PO 4 tetrahedral units with the substitution of zinc for the lead cati…
A series of peptidomimetics intended to promote the beta-hairpin motif have been studied. Structural variations include a turn region with and without a photoswitchable chromophore, and strands with amino acid side chains supporting various degrees of interstrand interactions for hairpin stabilisation. The propensity…
A new approach to a polarization-independent twisted liquid-crystal (LC) structure, where phase difference between orthogonal eigenmodes is tuned to be an integer multiple of 2pi, is demonstrated with a numerical model. For select wavelengths, polarization-independent operation can be achieved by tuning the twist rate…
