Super-crystals in composite ferroelectrics
As atoms and molecules condense to form solids, a crystalline state can emerge with its highly ordered geometry and subnanometric lattice constant. In some physical systems, such as ferroelectric perovskites, a perfect crystalline structure forms even when the condensing substances are non-stoichiometric. The resulting solids have compositional disorder and complex macroscopic properties, such ...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of FGM Dental Implant Properties Made from Ti/HA Composite
Although titanium/hydroxyapatite composite is an attractive material for dental implants, it would be more useful if it could be produced as a functionally graded material (FGM). In this paper, microstructure and microhardness of a five-layer titanium/hydroxyapatite functionally graded material has been investigated. First, titanium and hydroxyapatite (HA) powders were mixed with the Ti to HA v...
متن کاملSynthetic biology towards the synthesis of custom-made polysaccharides
Polysaccharides and their inherent structural and chemical variability provide an enormous hitherto unexploited design space for production of a range of new biobased materials. Exopolysaccharides are synthesized by numerous microorganisms (Rehm, 2010). Studies on biosynthesis provided critical information on how precursors are enzymatically diverted from primary metabolites and how they are po...
متن کاملHydrophobic nanocellulose aerogels as floating, sustainable, reusable, and recyclable oil absorbents.
Highly porous nanocellulose aerogels can be prepared by vacuum freeze-drying from microfibrillated cellulose hydrogels. Here we show that by functionalizing the native cellulose nanofibrils of the aerogel with a hydrophobic but oleophilic coating, such as titanium dioxide, a selectively oil-absorbing material capable of floating on water is achieved. Because of the low density and the ability t...
متن کاملSustainable Super-Sprinkle: Powdered Local Foods
Stacia Nordin I appreciate Zlotkin and colleagues’ years of work on the Sprinkle product, and it sounds like the product is much improved from the pill form of micronutrient treatments [1]. I’m not at all opposed to Sprinkle-type products or other nutrient pills for treatment (or in other special situations), but as ten years of international work experience on food and nutrition security issue...
