Polymer properties, such as their mechanical strength, barrier and dielectric response, can be dramatically improved by the addition of nanoparticles. This improvement is thought to because surface area per unit mass particles increases with decreasing particle size, R, 1/R. favorable effect has reconciled expectation that at small enough R nanoparticles must behave akin a solvent cause deterioration properties. How does this transition in behavior from large solutes limit occur? We...
There are several compounds for which there exists a disconnect between porosity as predicted by crystallography and measured gas sorption analysis. In this paper, the Zn-based analogue of Cu(3)(btc)(2) (HKUST-1), Zn(3)(btc)(2) (Zn-HKUST-1; btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) is investigated. Conventional analysis Zn-HKUST-1 powder X-ray diffraction indicates retention crystalline structure but negligible nitrogen uptake at 77 K. By using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, densified...
A single small-ligand–based ultra-microporous MOF showing high CO 2 selectivity and PSA working capacity for H purification.
We show that thin film star-shaped macromolecules exhibit significant differences in their average vitrification behavior, both magnitude and thickness dependence, from linear analogs. This behavior is dictated by a combination of functionality arm length. Additionally, the glass transition temperature at free surface molecule may be higher than interior, contrast to analogs where opposite true. These findings have implications for other properties, due largely origins, entropic, this behavior.
Wireless power transfer (WPT) has drawn more and attention many applications, such as wireless electric vehicle charging systems, which require high power, efficiency, factor. In this paper, a single-stage WPT resonant converter with bridgeless boost power-factor-correction (PFC) rectifier is proposed to improve efficiency quality of line input, reduce production cost complexity for high-power system. The topology creatively apply in system, much advantageous than conventional two-stage...
A new method to probe nanoscale structure (pores, defects, and damage accumulation) for microporous coordination polymers during adsorption of guest molecules (see figure, representing CO2 sorption with definitive evidence residual porosity) or undergoing thermal degradation is demonstrated using positron annihilation. Structural features invisible traditional X-ray diffraction gas-adsorption techniques are revealed, demonstrating a capability porous materials characterization.
The addition of a carbosilane skeleton precursor to plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process producing porous SiCOH dielectrics (pSiCOH) is shown affect the carbon content and pore structure pSiCOH. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) reveals that added reduces connectivity. PALS also shows evidence both smaller ultramicropores larger supermicropores in these materials. method adsorption porosimetry alpha-plot analysis provide an understanding connectivity results...
Positronium (Ps) is shown to exist in a delocalized state self-assembled metalorganic crystals that have large 1.3--1.5 nm cell sizes. Belonging class of materials with record high accessible specific surface areas, these highly porous are the first allow direct probing simple annihilation lifetime techniques transport properties long-lived triplet Ps what hypothesized be Bloch state. Delocalized has unprecedented (high) mobility driven primarily by weak phonon scattering unusual and...
