- Abstract:
- ... The effects of pH value and temperature on the initiation (kI), promotion (kP), inhibition (kS) and direct ozone reaction (kD) rate constants of natural organic matter (NOM) in water ozonation were investigated in this study. These rate constants were determined using a newly developed method that integrates the classical Rcₜ concept, the transient steady-state hydroxyl radical (˙OH) concentration ...

- Abstract:
- ... A new methodology to prepare hybrid graphene–polyethylenterephthalate nanocomposites by ultrasonication is reported. The hybrids were synthesized by in situ polymerization of a mixture of bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) monomer and graphite oxide (GO) at 200 °C, in bulk. The hybrids were analyzed by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman sp ...

Developing more efficient methods for the generation of pyrrole cores with unusual substitution patterns e.g. 2,4-disubstituted pyrroles is particularly interesting. This review gives an overview of new developments in the synthesis of highly substituted pyrroles from N-propargylamines in recent years. ...

Using first-principles calculations, we studied the electronic properties of quasi-2D MoS₂/MX₂ (MX₂ = WS₂, MoSe₂ and WSe₂) heterobilayers, focusing on engineering the band gap via application of in-plane biaxial strain and out-of-plane normal compressive strain (NCS). All heterobilayers show semiconducting characteristics with an indirect band gap except for the MoS₂/WSe₂ system which exhibits dir ...
