Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly tunable, extended-network, crystalline, nanoporous materials with applications in gas storage, separations, and sensing. We review how molecular models and simulations of gas adsorption in MOFs have lucidly
This review details the current state of the art in aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) based separations of surfactant dispersed single-wall carbon nanotubes by their chemical species, i.e., (n,m) structure, semiconducting or metallic nature, and

The performance of a bubbler to deliver the low-volatility, liquid cobalt precursor μ2- η2-(tBu- acetylene) dicobalthexacarbonyl (CCTBA) for reduced-pressure chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition processes was characterized. A relatively
Bipolar electrochemistry, defined as simultaneous oxidation and reduction reactions occurring on an electrically floating electrode, involves intricate coupling of the ohmic drop in the electrochemical cell to the thermodynamics and kinetics of the bipolar

Formation of well dispersed cellulose – polymer composites is a challenge. This is magnified when preparing composites using nanoscale materials, where the bulk properties are dominated by interfacial properties. In this chapter, synthetic and processing
Thermophysical property data are frequently affected by experimental and other errors significantly exceeding expected uncertainties, and validation of them is important when reliable values are needed. The methods used at Thermodynamics Research Center

The physical properties of a substance such as a fuel are in principle determined solely by its composition, which can be determined or at least probed using techniques such as gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Because the
Compressed-liquid densities of the binary system dimethyl carbonate + heptane have been measured with a vibrating-tube densimeter over the temperature and pressure ranges of 270 K to 470 K, and 1 MPa to 50 MPa at three compositions of the mixture. The

Numerous Iron Age hillforts were constructed throughout Europe on high ground to serve ancient settlements. The edifice walls of a small fraction of hillforts were vitrified as a result of high temperature activity, most likely to reinforce the walls

Product composition and quality test methods for the paper and pulp industry remain rooted in manual, ex-situ, wet-bench chemistry techniques and are highly subjective. For example, the standard method for determining the furnish of paper, TAPPI T 401
Li-6 alumino-silicate glass, a neutron shielding material, has been studied to determine if and to what extent it alters under natural conditions. Analyses included neutron depth profiling, prompt gamma activation analysis, x-ray diffraction, and scanning

During the pulsed-electron beam direct grafting of neat styrene onto poly(tetrafluoroethylene-co-hexafluoropropylene) (FEP) substrate, the radiolytically-produced styryl and carbon-centered FEP radicals undergo various desired and undesired competing
