Comparison of the Properties of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Cellulose Nanofibrils Isolated From Bacteria, Tunicate, and Wood Processed Using Acid, Enzymatic, Mechanical, and Oxidative Methods

April 18, 2014
Author(s)
Iulia A. Sacui, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Ryan C. Nieuwendaal, Stephan J. Stranick, Henryk Szmacinski, Mehdi Jorfi, Christopher Weder, Johan Foster, Richard Olsson, Daniel Burnett
This work describes the study and characterization of native cellulose nanocrystals and nanofibrils (CNCs, CNFs), whose crystallinity, morphology, aspect ratio, and surface chemistry depend on the raw material source and hydrolysis conditions. Measurement

Preparation of nanocomposite plasmonic films made from cellulose nanocrystals or mesoporous silica decorated with unidirectionally aligned gold nanorods

April 11, 2014

Michael Campbell, Qingkun Liu, Aric Sanders, Julian Evans, Ivan I. Smalyukh
Using liquid crystalline self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals, we achieve long-range alignment of anisotropic metal nanoparticles in colloidal nanocrystal dispersions that are then used to deposit thin structured films with ordering features highly

Rogers, M Anderle, M Lehocky, V Sedlarik
Recent advances in vacuum sciences and applications are reviewed. Novel optical interferometer cavity devices enable pressure measurements with ppm accuracy. Innovative dynamic vacuum standard allows for pressure measurements with temporal resolution of 2

Comparison of independently calculated ab-initio normal-mode displacements for the three C-H stretching vibrations of methanol along the internal rotation path

March 19, 2014
Author(s)
Li-Hong Xu, Ronald M. Lees, Jon T. Hougen, Joel M. Bowman, Xinchuan Huang, Stuart Carter
Comparison of graphical displays of normal-mode coefficients from recent quantum chemical projected-frequency calculations with analogous displays constructed after reexamination of results from more extensive higher-level calculations described earlier in

Certification of Total Arsenic in Blood and Urine Standard Reference Materials by Radiochemical Neutron Activation Analysis and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

March 1, 2014
Author(s)
Rick L. Paul, William C. Davis, Karen E. Murphy, Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Lee L. Yu, William F. Guthrie, Dennis D. Leber, Thomas W. Vetter
A newly developed procedure for determination of arsenic by radiochemical neutron activation analysis was used to measure arsenic in SRM 955c Toxic Elements in Caprine Blood and SRM 2668 Toxic Elements in Frozen Human Urine for the purpose of providing

Filter Material Effects on Particle Absorption Characteristics

February 10, 2014
Author(s)
Cary Presser, Joseph M. Conny, Ashot Nazarian
The absorption coefficient and mass specific absorption cross section were determined for nigrosin-laden quartz, Teflon, and polycarbonate filters in inert surroundings at different steady-state temperatures and particle mass loadings. The objective was to

International Comparison of a Hydrocarbon Gas Standard at the Picomol per Mol Level

February 6, 2014
Author(s)
George C. Rhoderick, David L. Duewer, Eric Apel, Annarita Baldan, Bradley Hall, Alice Harling, Detlev Helmig, Gwi S. Heo, Jacques Hueber, Mi E. Kim, Yong D. Kim, Benjamin Miller, Stephen Montzka, Daniel Reimer
Studies of climate change increasingly recognize the diverse influences of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere, including roles in particulates and ozone formation. Measurements of key non methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) suggest atmospheric mole fractions ranging

A comparison of literature models for the oxidation of normal heptane

February 1, 2014
Author(s)
David A. Sheen, Wing Tsang
The development of detailed chemical kinetic models has proceeded unabated since the pioneering work of Dixon-Lewis and coworkers forty-five years ago. In that time, computational power has increased ten million-fold, and yet, we do not have a consensus on
