The orientation characteristics of FNLC-919, a new material with ferroelectric nematic phase at room temperature, were investigated. Its alignment varied greatly depending on the relative rubbing direction both substrates liquid crystal cell. In cell where two rubbed in same direction, they arranged homogeneously along without domains or defects phase. anti-parallel twisted opposite direction. We quantitatively obtained and angle by matching experimental data calculation results using Jones...
Abstract Ferroelectric aluminum scandium nitride (Al 0.7 Sc 0.3 N) has attracted increasing interest due to its high remanent polarization ( P r , >100 µC cm −2 ) and coercive field E c >5 MV −1 ). The four radio frequency reactive magnetron sputtering conditions (sputtering power, N 2 flow ratio, pressure, temperature) influence the ferroelectric material properties of 45 nm‐thick Al deposited on TiN/SiO /Si substrate. Crystallinity is enhanced under deposition with higher adatom...
In this study, kraft lignin was used as a polymer for drug-encapsulated nanoparticle synthesis (coumarin 6 and doxorubicin; DOX). Successful drug encapsulation by nanoprecipitation confirmed (max. 59% coumarin max. 73% Compared with the pure nanoparticle, nanoparticles showed no remarkable change in their size (i.d. 176–469 nm) surface charge (−40.5 to −32.7 mV) regardless of particle. The drug-release profiles particles that they follow Fickian diffusion. vitro cytotoxicity assay revealed...
Cellulose microfibrils with an electron diffraction pattern characteristic of crystalline native cellulose I have been assembled abiotically by means a cellulase-catalyzed polymerization beta-cellobiosyl fluoride substrate monomer in acetonitrile/acetate buffer. Substantial purification the Trichoderma viride cellulase enzyme was found to be essential for formation synthetic allomorph.

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of lignocellulosic biomass has been widely investigated for the production renewable and alternative bio-crude oil. In this study, catalytic hydrothermal processing two biomasses (larch Mongolian oak) was performed using different K2CO3 concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 wt% solvent) to improve fuel yield properties. HTL oil, hydrochar, water-soluble fraction (WSF) gas were characterized, carbon balance investigated. As a result, maximum 27.7 (Mongolian 25.7...
As an antioxidant material, lignin has some structural disadvantages such as heterogeneity, high molecular weight, and low functionality. We propose a simple method based on ethanolysis pretreatment (120, 160, 200 °C for 1 h) of by which the structure, especially weight distribution phenolic hydroxyl content (Phe-OH) lignin, are improved. After reaction, over 80 wt % structurally modified (solubilized lignin: SL) was recovered from raw its homogeneity well Phe-OH increased. The activity SLs...
Alkaline soda lignin (AL) was sequentially fractionated into six fractions of different molecular size by means solvent extraction and their phenolic hydroxyl groups were chemoselectively methylated to determine effect on nanoparticle formation polymers. The the structure physical properties nanoparticles also clarified in this study. Nanoparticles obtained from neat alkaline (ALNP), solvent-extracted (FALNPs, i.d. 414–1214 nm), lignins (MALNPs, 516–721 nm) via nanoprecipitation method....
ITO/Ag/ITO (IAI) multilayer-based transparent conductive electrodes for ultraviolet light-emitting diodes are fabricated by reactive sputtering, optimized annealing, and characterized with respect to electrical optical properties. Increasing the annealing temperature from 300°C 500°C decreased sheet resistance increased transmittance.

Lignin-rich residue was obtained by sequential acid pretreatment (sulfuric, oxalic, and maleic acid; H-ST, H-OT, H-MT) enzymatic hydrolysis (EH). Pretreatment using dicarboxylic (oxalic acid) showed a relatively low solid yield (72.55 69.27%) compared with sulfuric (74.83%). In addition, the of pretreated biomass differed significantly depending on catalyst used. To investigate structural properties lignin-rich residue, milled wood lignin (MWL) extracted. H-MT-EH-MWL H-OT-EH-MWL were found...

Abstract Ti layer inserted in the TiN gate electrode effectively scavenges oxygen low‐ k interfacial SiO 2 of metal–ferroelectric–insulator–semiconductor (MFIS) capacitors with ferroelectric Al‐doped HfO (HAO) thin film. The scavenging effect increases remanent polarization (P r ) and reduces coercive voltage (V c capacitance equivalent thickness (CET) HAO films, particularly when MFIS capacitor is annealed at 800 °C. Additionally, frequency dispersion characteristics interface trap density...
