Density Functional Theory Meta GGA Study of Water Adsorption in MIL-53(Cr)

July 16, 2019
Author(s)
Eric J. Cockayne
We use density functional theory meta-GGA TPSS+D3(BJ)+U+J calculations to investigate the energetics and geometry of water molecules in the flexible metal-organic framework material MIL-53(Cr) as a function of cell volume. The critical concentration of

Measuring Ion-Pairing and Hydration in Variable Charge Supramolecular Cages with Microwave Microfluidics

May 17, 2019
Author(s)
Angela C. Stelson, Cynthia M. Hong, Mitchell C. Groenenboom, Charles A. Little, James C. Booth, Nathan D. Orloff, Robert G. Bergman, Kenneth N. Raymond, Kathleen A. Schwarz, F. D. Toste, Christian J. Long
MetaMetal–organic supramolecular cages can act as charged molecular containers that mediate reactions, mimic enzymatic catalysis, and selectively sequester chemicals.1,2 The hydration of these cages in solution plays a crucial role in their interactions

Examining American Alligators as Sentinels of Toxic Trace Element Exposure in Human Populations

April 15, 2019
Author(s)
Frances Nilsen, Thomas Rainwater, Stephen E. Long, Tracey Johnston, Philip Wilkinson, Arnold Brunell, Brittany Kassim, John A. Bowden
Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic element eliciting a myriad of health problems including Minamata disease. Exposure to methylmercury, the most toxic bioaccumulative form of Hg, occurs through aquatic dietary sources. Many nations have consumption

Interfaces In Aromatic Polymer-Nanocellulose Composites

March 22, 2019
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Jeremiah Woodcock, Sindhu Seethamraju, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Katrina Wakeman, Tess Ravick
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

Removal of Synthetic Azo Dye using Bimetallic Nickel-Iron Nanoparticles

March 19, 2019
Author(s)
Shelby Foster, Katie Estoque, Michael Voecks, Nikki Rentz, Lauren Greenlee
Bimetallic nanoparticles comprised of Iron (Fe) and Nickel (Ni) were investigated for the removal of an azo dye contaminant in water. NiFe nanoparticles were synthesized using a batch aqueous synthesis method that is scalable and environmentally safe

ELECTRON ENERGY-LOSS SPECTROSCOPY AND IMAGING

March 12, 2019
Author(s)
Vladimir P. Oleshko
This article describes electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) and electron spectroscopic diffraction (ESD) in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or in a scanning transmission electron

A status of temporal trends of persistent organic pollutants in Arctic biota

February 1, 2019
Author(s)
Frank Riget, Anders Bignert, Birgit Braune, Maria Dam, Rune Dietz, Marlene Evans, Norman Green, Helga Gunnlaugsdottir, Katrin S. Hoydal, John Kucklick, Robert Letcher, Derek Muir, Stacy Schuur, Christian Sonne, Stern Gary, Gregg Tomy, Katrin Vorkamp, Simon Wilson
More than 1000 time-series of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Arctic biota from marine and freshwater ecosystems some extending back to the beginning of 1980s were analyzed using a robust statistical method. The Arctic area encompassed extended
