Spectroscopic and Microscopic Investigations of Phthalocyanine Aggregates on Au(111)
(2011)
Self-assembled organic π systems are of interest because of their potential applications in light harvesting and electron transfer. Phthalocyanines (Pc) demonstrate desirable photonic and electronic properties, thus making ...
Localized Chemistry of 99Tc in Simulated Low Activity Waste Glass
(2016)
A priority of the United States Department of Energy (DOE) is to dispose of the nuclear waste accumulated in the underground tanks at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Richland, WA. Incorporation and stabilization of ...
GRAPHITIC POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES:WEAR PERFORMANCE AND WEAR DEBRIS ANALYSIS
(2014)
With the addition of appropriate nanofillers, nanocomposites have been shown to be an effective avenue to achieve a multitude of enhanced properties, even extending to multi-functionalities not normally considered possible ...
EFFECT OF SILICON, TANTALUM AND TUNGSTEN DOPING AND POLARIZATION ON BIOACTIVITY OF HYDROXYAPATITE
(2012)
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramics has important applications as bone graft because of the structural and compositional similarities with bone tissue. However, inferior osteogenic capacity to bone and poor mechanical properties ...
