Abstract:
... A simple bottom-up method to fabricate novel square prism-shaped poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD) hierarchical fibers is presented. PoPD oligomers obtained by H₂O₂ oxidizing o-phenylenediamine (oPD) monomers were triggered to aggregate into fibers by high salt solution. The fibers were fully characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, UV-vis spectra, and thermogravimetric techniques. Their stability when trea ...

Abstract:
... To improve efficiency in the use of water resources in water-limited environments such as the North China Plain (NCP), where winter wheat is a major and groundwater-consuming crop, the application of water-saving irrigation strategies must be considered as a method for the sustainable development of water resources. The initial objective of this study was to evaluate and validate the ability of th ...
