Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) (PBSA) are crystalline/crystalline polymer blends with PVDF being the high-T(m) component and PBSA being the low-T(m) component, respectively. PVDF/PBSA blends are miscible as shown by the decrease of crystallization peak temperature and…

Marked for life. For the characterization of larger proteins new NMR spectroscopy methods that focus on side-chain methyl groups have been developed by using selectively isotope-labeled precursor compounds. Here we report on the synthesis of a 13C-methyl-group-labeled methionine precursor on a preparative scale, and i…

Abstract A novel diatomite composite superabsorbent was synthesized by solution polymerization of partially neutralized acrylic acid and diatomite, using N,N′‐methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinking agent and hydrogen peroxide and L ‐ascorbic acid as a redox initial system. The influences of some reaction conditions,…

Using density functional theory we studied systematically a Au atom adsorption on a Mo-supported regular and defected ultrathin MgO film with 1 to 5 ML thickness. On Mo(100) grown regular MgO Au prefers to adsorb at a hollow site instead of an O site found for single-crystal MgO. The metal support also enhances Au ads…

We report the fabrication of microporous thin film membranes with two-dimensionally arranged submicron pores whose size can be varied by changing pH of aqueous medium. A solution containing poly(2-vinylpyridine) partially quaternized with 1,4-diiodobutane (qP2VP) and unreacted 1,4-diodobutane (DIB) was used for the fo…

We report a joint theoretical and experimental study of low-lying structures and structural transitions of gold cluster anions Au n - in the size range of n = 21−25. Well-resolved photoelectron spectra are used to compare with density functional theory calculations and to identify the low-lying structures of the gold…

Abstract The silicone rubber with good thermal conductivity and electrical insulation was obtained by taking vinyl endblocked polymethylsiloxane as basic gum and thermally conductive, but electrically insulating hybrid Al 2 O 3 powder as fillers. The effects of the amount of Al 2 O 3 on the thermal conductivity, coeff…

Walls that build themselves: Long-range nanowalls assemble with uniform tetragonal Mn3O4 nanoparticles by a simple solution-phase synthesis method under low temperature and surfactant-free conditions (see image). The magnetization of the sample is investigated. A mechanism for formation of the wall-like crystals is su…

La2Mo2O9 (LAMOX) is a fast oxygen ion conductor which shows high oxygen ion conductivities comparable to those of yttria-sabilized zirconia (YSZ) . LAMOX is subject to a structural phase transition from the non-conductive monoclinic form to the highly-conductive cubic form at about 580C. The origin of the conductivity…

Using single-particle pseudopotential and many-particle configuration interaction methods, we compare various physical quantities of (In,Ga)As/GaAs quantum dot molecules (QDMs) made of dissimilar dots (heteropolar QDMs) with QDMs made of identical dots (homopolar QDMs). The calculations show that the electronic struct…
