The stable acidic dispersion of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is prepared by non-covalent functionalization method using perylenebisimide modified fluorinated poly(hydroxyamide) (PTCDA-6FPHA). Then a series of RGO/polybenzoxazoles (PBO) composites were prepared by solution blending method in ...

Membranes with exceptional pore regularity and high porosity were obtained from block copolymer solutions. We demonstrate by small-angle X-ray scattering that the order which gives rise to the pore morphology is already incipient in the casting solution. Hexagonal order was confirmed in ...

Supported metals are traditionally prepared by impregnating a support material with the metal precursor solution, followed by reduction in hydrogen at elevated temperatures. In this study, a polymeric support has been considered. Polypyrrole (PPy) has been chemically synthesized using FeCl3 ...

Single crystalline gold nanoplates with size of micrometers and tens of nanometers in thickness were synthesized by reducing HAuCl4 with disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (Na2EDTA) in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in aqueous solution. The result ...

The sugar-modified Schiff-base ligands derived from benzyl 2-deoxy-2-salicylideneamino-α-D-glucopyranoside (H2L5-Br and H2L3-OMe) were used to prepare the chiral oxidovanadium(V) complexes [VO(L5-Br)(OMe)] (1) and [VO(L3-OMe)(OMe)] (2) which can be isolated from methanol solution as the ...

We propose a fully quantitative theory for the finite-size scaling of the filling transition in a three-dimensional double wedge geometry, based on the exact transfer-matrix solution of a phenomenological interfacial model. Antisymmetric fields act at the top and bottom wedges; so each one ...
