Electromagnetic Preparation of Materials: From Fundamentals to Applications

Boron-Based (Nano-)Materials: Fundamentals and Applications

The boron (Z = 5) element is unique. Boron-based (nano-)materials are equally unique. Accordingly, the present special issue is dedicated to crystalline boron-based (nano-)materials and gathers a series of nine review and research articles dealing with different boron-based compounds. Boranes, borohydrides, polyhedral boranes and carboranes, boronate anions/ligands, boron nitride (hexagonal str...

Higher Oligomeric Surfactants — From Fundamentals to Applications

Graphene oxide: from fundamentals to applications.

In this review, we discuss the fundamental characterization of graphene oxide (GO) and its future application perspectives. Morphology is discussed through optical microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy studies. Chemical, structural, and vibrational properties are discussed through x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy st...

POSTER SESSION BOOKLET From Fundamentals to Applications

The lack of social interaction is one of the most debilitating deficit associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) [1]. Children affected by ASD have problems in paying attention, turn-taking, games and communication activities. We propose a set of solutions in order to improve quality of social interaction in ASD children. Our methods will be implemented on board of a socially assistive rob...
