In this work, physicochem. characterization of such composite materials obtained after the exposure of polyamide PA 6 to K2SeS2O6 precursor soln. was performed.  Chalcogenized polymer surface was characterized using X-ray diffraction, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopies while their bulk chem. anal. was performed using at. absorption spectroscopy.  Crystallite size was not found to change with the exposure to K2SeS2O6 precursor but PA 6 chain-chain sepn. decreased.  Importantly, IR and X-ray analyses showed chem. bonding taking place between the PA 6 and SeS2O2-6 ions via -NH- functional group.  A distinct change in bandgap, Eg, value was obsd. in UV-vis spectra due to the presence of SeS2O2-6, SeSO2-3 and Se2S2O2-6 ions formed via decompn. of the precursor material in acidic medium.  After extended 4 h halcogenation a distinct absorption due to the elemental selenium was also obsd. as obtained from Tauc plots.

Its coupling into value added products is of great importance in monetizing sour natural gas.  The full theor. cycle of catalytic CH3SH coupling to form ethene was studied by d. functional theory (DFT) using chabazite as a model catalyst with emphasis on the first C-C bond formation.  Calcd. thermodn. were compared with those of analogous and well established CH3OH processes to identify the similarities and differences in the reactive pathways.  With few exceptions, CH3SH catalytic transformations are of higher free energy when compared to those of CH3OH.  The trimethylsulfonium ion, TMS, isostructural with that of the trimethyloxonium ion, TMO, is a key reactive intermediate and a thermodynamically stable species leading to ethene formation.

Crystallinity of the composite material was analyzed via XRD and both CdSe and CdS were detected within the material at all deposition conditions of temp. and SeS2O2-6 - chalcogenization - exposure time.  A complex surface speciation was obtained using XPS anal.  Formation of the protonated amide species was obsd. in combination with the adsorbed SO2-4 on the surface of the polymer confirming that SeS2O2-6 and its decompn. products hydrolyzed to form cadmium chalcogenides and H2SO4.  A significant red shift in UV-vis spectrum was obsd. with the increasing chalcogenization time of PA, whereas Cd2+ soln. temp. had very little effect on the apparent thickness and the optical properties of the composite materials.

The availability of large elemental sulfur amts. in oil refining and natural gas processing facilities, in combination with decreasing sulfur deposition into soil from natural and anthropogenic sources in a bioavailable sulfate form, calls for innovative engineering solns. that bridge this gap via sustainable sulfur processing.  Diurea sulfate-based liq. and compd. solid granulated fertilizers were synthesized in this work, and their resulting physicochem. properties were detd.  First, phase compositional information on the 2CO(NH2)2·H2SO4-CO(NH2)2-H2O ternary system was measured, and high nitrogen content, ∼15:1 N:S ratio liq. fertilizer grades, were established.  Next, diurea sulfate granulation expts. using (i) dolomite, (ii) byproduct material after the phosphoric acid extractive prodn., CaSO4·0.5H2O, and (iii) dolomite combined with diammonium phosphate, (NH4)2HPO4, and potassium chloride, KCl, were performed.  Using diurea sulfate, 16-16-16-5.5(S)-0.4(MgO)-0.6(CaO) compd. granulated fertilizers were successfully obtained, and time-resolved changes in their cryst. phase compn. during granule curing were monitored using XRD.  The granule crushing strength measured increased to 3.800 MPa within the 30 day storage thus resulting in high quality fertilizer material.

Natural gas is envisioned as a primary source of hydrocarbons in the foreseeable future.  With the abundance of shale gas, the main concerns have shifted from the limited hydrocarbon availability to the sustainable methods of CH4 conversion to fuels.  This is necessitated by high costs of natural gas transportation in its native gaseous form.  Conventional gas-to-liq. conversion technologies are capital and scale intensive and can hardly be envisioned in their current form to be cost efficient in the remote locations of the natural gas extn. sites.  Solar energy can be utilized at the gas extn. site to perform catalytic CH4 conversion using electrons obtained via photovoltaics or directly with photons.  We provide broader insight into the catalytic CH4 conversion methods that utilize renewable energy via photo(electro)catalytic processes, with particular focus on the catalytic materials used, reaction conditions and intermediates, as well as their selectivity.  Based on the currently available scientific literature, we propose several hybrid catalytic CH4 conversion processes based on both conventional and renewable - photo(electro)chem. - catalysis.

In this work, graphene oxide multilayer films deposited on glass substrate were reduced using different thermal redn. methods, including low-temp. annealing, flame-induced and laser redn., and the corresponding surface morphol. and structural properties were investigated.  These graphene oxide thermal redn. methods strongly affected surface morphol. and differently facilitated structural and chem. transformations of graphene oxide.  As evidenced by Raman measurements, thermal annealing and laser redn. of graphene oxide produced more ordered graphene-like structure multilayer films.  However, surface morphol. differences were obsd. and attributed to the different de-oxidn. mechanisms of GO.  This Letter provides an important systematic comparison between the GO redn. methods and thermally-driven structural changes they provide to the reduced GO multilayer films obtained.

A detailed surface characterization was followed using at. force microscopy (AFM) topog. images, surface morphol. parameters, height distribution histograms and bearing ratio curves with hybrid parameters.  The AFM anal. directly showed that the a-C:H/SiOx/PVP and a-C:H:N/SiOx/PVP composite films represent different morphologies with characteristic surface textures.  Surface adhesive properties were evaluated by measuring the force required to sep. the AFM tip from the surface by AFM force-distance curves.  The variance in adhesion force detected was lower for a-C:H/SiOx/PVP composite films due to lower structural homogeneity of the surfaces.  FTIR spectroscopy anal. was performed to study the blend behavior of PVP upon a-C:H/SiOx and a-C:H:N/SiOx direct ion beam deposition.  Interfacial interactions of PVP with the direct ion beam induced changes in the carbonyl group of the PVP and are dependent on the carrier gas used for the synthesis of the amorphous hydrogenated C films.

XPS depth profile showed a presence of ∼2% of oxygen in the film within the first five etching cycles showing oxygen incorporation.  Dry sliding wear expts. at temps. ranging from 20 to 200° were conducted.  The thin films were worn with either 100Cr6 or 440C bearing balls using a ball-on-disk sliding configuration at a contact load of 1 N.  Friction coeff. and coating wear rates were measured and wear tracks were analyzed using optical microscopy, SEM and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.  Thin films exhibited low wear rates at room temp. and an unexpected wear behavior at the elevated temps.  Only the first half of the metallic chromium film was worn out after ∼18 m of dry sliding at room temp., whereas increase in temp. resulted in a decrease in wear resistance of the film.

During the expt., water droplets on SiO2 nanocomposite film surface are subjected to a series of icing and deicing cycles in a humid (∼ 70% relative humidity) atm. and the resulting morphol. changes are monitored and characterized using at. force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements.  The formation of the frozen or thawed water droplet, with no further shape change, on superhydrophobic SiO2 nanocomposite film, is obtained faster within each cycle as the no. of the icing/deicing cycles increases.  After 10 icing and deicing cycles, the superhydrophobic SiO2 nanocomposite film had a water contact angle value of 146 ± 2° which is effectively non-superhydrophobic.  AFM anal. showed that the superhydrophobic SiO2 nanocomposite film surface area under the water droplet undergoes gradual mech. damage during the repetitive icing/deicing cycles.

Surface morphol. of these Cr films was studied using AFM.  The e-beam deposited Cr films consisted of isolated surface mounds while in RF sputtered samples, these mounds combined to form larger islands.  However surface adhesive properties were obsd. for e-beam deposited films, as detd. from AFM force-distance curves, presumably due to the nanostructural differences.  Similar amts. of adsorbed atm. carbonaceous contaminants and water vapor were detected on samples deposited using both methods with e-beam deposited samples having addnl. carbide species, as detd. by XPS data.  The dominant crystallog. plane in both e-beam deposited and RF sputtered Cr thin films was (110) of body-centered cubic Cr metal structure as detd. from x-ray diffraction data.  Weak (211) reflection was also obsd. in RF sputtered samples and was attributed to a different thin Cr film condensation and growth mechanism which resulted in nanostructural differences between films deposited using two different methods.

Scaffolds were electrically conductive with resistivity as low as 2Ω.  Scaffold characterization by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis shows both polypyrrole and hydroxyapatite are present.  Cell viability, attachment, proliferation, and differentiation were analyzed using human fetal osteoblast cells.  These studies show that surface modification using hydroxyapatite improved cell attachment and proliferation of osteoblasts onto the PPF scaffolds.  Alkaline phosphatase activity as a marker for osteogenic differentiation of cell to mature osteoblasts was analyzed.  Our data reveal that osteoblasts maintained their phenotype on PPF scaffolds with and without coatings.  Thus, these scaffolds could be appropriate candidates for our future in vivo studies.[on SciFinder (R)]</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2 Suppl</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MEDLINE AN 2012053473(Journal; Article; (JOURNAL ARTICLE); (RESEARCH SUPPORT, N.I.H., EXTRAMURAL); (RESEARCH SUPPORT, U.S. GOV'T, NON-P.H.S.))</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinkeviciute, D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dukstiene, N.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baltrusaitis, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guobiene, A.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Principles of electrochemical reduction of Na2MoO4 on a Se/SnO2/glass surface.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemine Technologija (Kaunas, Lithuania)</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">sodium molybdate electrochem redn tin dioxide selenium glass surface</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Technologija</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28 - 35</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1392-1231</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Na2MoO4 electrochem. redn. from 0.22 mol/dm3 sodium citrate supporting soln. was investigated by the cyclic voltammetry, XPS and lateral force microscopy techniques.  Exptl. results have indicated that molybdenum oxide is initially deposited on the Se/SnO2/glass surface in a potential range from -0.20 V to -0.80 V.  XPS anal. exhibited the molybdenum oxide stoichiometry of 2.9.  The nucleation mechanism of MoOx onto Se/SnO2/glass surface was investigated by the current transient technique.  The deposition transients analyzed in the non-dimensional plots I2/I2m = f(t/tm) and I2/I2m = f(t/tm)2 have shown that MoOx nucleates according to a progressive mechanism.  The nucleation rate depends on Na2MoO4 concn. in the supporting electrolyte and on the deposition potential.

Deposition conditions were adjusted by varying substrate temp. and SiH4:NH3 flow ratio and temp. to obtain the required stress related and elec. properties of the membranes.  Transmission FTIR spectroscopy and SEM were used to investigate the chem. compn. and morphol. of the stacked film components.  An increase in the SiH4:NH3 flow ratio and a decrease in temp. resulted in a silicon-rich silicon nitride film, as well as an increased silicon oxide concn.  To avoid under-etch and sidewall defects, the plasma power d. during the plasma etching was changed from 0.5 W/cm2 during the etching of both top and bottom layers in a stacked film, to 1.0 W/cm2 during the etching of the middle both silicon and silicon oxide-rich film.  This resulted in an improved overall stacked film sidewall quality and reduced the unwanted under-etch.

The compn. is analyzed using XPS and stress is measured using a substrate bending method.  The ability to obtain stacked films with the custom tensile stress in the overall structure was demonstrated by the series of expts.  The tensile stress in the top and bottom films was obtained between 200 and 300 MPa whereas the stress in the middle film could be adjusted from compressive 60 MPa to tensile 300 MPa.  Since the appropriate stress value is important in achieving required mech. properties of the membranes, the results obtained are discussed in the context of surface micromachined membrane structures.

This method differs from previous thin film cond. measurement methods by the absence of an external power source.  Instead, it employs natural charges carried by ions and electrons that are present in a vapor that is deposited.  The ability to monitor thin film cond., starting with early nucleation stages up to the formation of the integrally conductive film is shown by a comparison of in-situ recorded voltage changes and ex-situ by XPS and at. force microscopy anal. of the stepwise covered samples.  Repeatability of the exptl. data was within a ± 25% interval at the exptl. parameter region where an integrally conductive film starts to form.
