Structural diversity of metal–organic materials containing bismuth (III) and pyridine-2, 5-dicarboxylate
(American Chemical Society, 2010-10)
Three new metal–organic materials containing bismuth and pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate (pydc) have been synthesized by hydro- and solvothermal methods and have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound ...
Photoconductivity in the chalcohalide semiconductor, SbSeI: a new candidate for hard radiation detection
(American Chemical Society, 2013-06)
We investigated an antimony chalcohalide compound, SbSeI, as a potential semiconductor material for X-ray and γ-ray detection. SbSeI has a wide band gap of 1.70 eV with a density of 5.80 g/cm3, and it crystallizes in the ...
Novel 3D bismuth-based coordination polymers: Synthesis, structure, and second harmonic generation properties
(Academic Press, 2012-11)
Two new 3D bismuth containing coordination polymers are reported along with their single crystal structures and SHG properties. Compound 1: Bi2O2(pydc) (pydc=pyridine-2, 5-dicarboxylate), crystallizes in the monoclinic, ...
New 3D bismuth-oxo coordination polymers containing terephthalate-based ligands: observation of Bi 2 O 2-layer and Bi 4 O 3-chain motifs
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2011)
Two new 3D framework materials containing Bi2O2 layers and Bi4O3 chains have been obtained hydrothermally via the reactions between bismuth nitrate with terephthalic acid (TA) and bismuth nitrate with nitro-terephthalic ...
Biodegradable nanocomposites from cellulose acetate: Mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties
(Elsevier, 2006-09)
Environmentally benign nanocomposites were synthesized using cellulose acetate (CA) bioplastic, citrate based plasticizer and organically modified clay nanofillers to eventually substitute the existing petroleum-based ...
Self-assembled phenylethynylene bis-urea macrocycles facilitate the selective photodimerization of coumarin
(American Chemical Society, 2011-05)
There is much interest in designing molecular sized containers that influence and facilitate chemical reactions within their nanocavities. On top of the advantages of improved yield and selectivity, the studies of reactions ...
Chopped industrial hemp fiber reinforced cellulosic plastic biocomposites: thermomechanical and morphological properties
(American Chemical Society, 2004-08)
Biocomposites, i.e., biopolymers reinforced with natural fibers, offer an environmentally benign alternative structural material for automotive applications. Cellulose esters (bioplastic made from cellulose) are potentially ...
Development of renewable resource–based cellulose acetate bioplastic: Effect of process engineering on the performance of cellulosic plastics
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-05)
Abstract
This paper deals with the development of a cellulose acetate biopolymer. Plasticization of this biopolymer under varying processing conditions to make it a suitable matrix polymer for bio-composite applications ...
Polymer composite and nanocomposite dielectric materials for pulse power energy storage
(Molecular Diversity Preservation Internationa, 2009-12)
This review summarizes the current state of polymer composites used as dielectric materials for energy storage. The particular focus is on materials: polymers serving as the matrix, inorganic fillers used to increase the ...
Thermal reaction of a columnar assembled diacetylene macrocycle
(American Chemical Society, 2010-04)
Reported is a macrocyclic diacetylene that assembled into columns to afford porous crystals. Heating this assembly initiated a topochemical polymerization of the preorganized diacetylene units to give covalent conjugated ...
