The present work describes synthetic concepts for the coupling of peptides to polyphenylene dendrimers (PPDs). Novel functionalized cyclopentadienones have been synthesized whose Diels-Alder cycloaddition with various core molecules leads to polyphenylene ...
Microstructure and chemical composition of the hard Ni–P–Ti layer formed on the Ti–6Al–4V alloy after duplex surface treatment were investigated by light microscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and analytical/high resolution transmissio ...
The study electrochemistry is pertinent to a wide variety of fields, including bioenergetics, environmental sciences, and engineering sciences. Intended both as a basic course for undergraduate students and as a reference work for graduates and researchers ...
The obtimisation of water networks in a deinking mill has been carried out using Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming. The objective function included the costs of water and chemical usage, and of piping retrofitting. The constraints were stream compositio ...
Backscattered electron (BSE) images of heat-cured concretes show alite grains surrounded by inner C-S-H gel of two distinct grey levels (referred to as two-tone inner C-S-H gel). The lighter rim forms at elevated temperature whereas the darker rim develops ...
The study of intracellular communication requires devices that can not only monitor the bioelectric activity, but also control and observe the biochemical environment at the cellular level. This paper reports on the development and characterisation of impl ...
Microorganisms were searched for among the complex microstructures observed on the surface of a fragment of the Tatahouine meteorite inherited from the Tunisian soil in which they were buried. In this view, the chemical compositions, particularly the nitro ...
The influence of both early and late heat treatments on the microstructure and on the hydration products of Portland cement mortars has been investigated. The mortars were given either a 4-h or 28-day precure at 20 °C before heating at 90 °C for 12 h and w ...
The advent of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) has augmented at the microscopic level the usefulness of IR spectroscopy. Two-dimensional imaging of chemical constituents makes this a very attractive and powerful new approach. In this paper we ...
Small angle neutron scattering experiments have been undertaken on the tempered martensitic steel EUROFER97 after proton irradiation at 250 and 350 degreesC and for doses of 0.3 and 1 dpa. It has been qualitatively shown that the scattering arises from dis ...
