A novel organic-inorganic hybrid of triethanolamine linked covalently with a new building block of {VMo6O25} was synthesized in aqueous solution, and the hybrid was further assembled with copper-triethanolamine complexes to form a ring-like structure. This work represents an advance in the organic functionalization of polyoxometalate performed in aqueous solution instead of an organic solvent.

Mixtures of a copper complex and copper fine particles as copper-based metal-organic decomposition (MOD) dispersions have been demonstrated to be effective for low-temperature sintering of conductive copper film. However, the copper particle size effect on decomposition process of the dispersion during heating and the effect of organic residues on the resistivity have not been studied. In this ...

latex allergy has become an occupational hazard among healthcare workers. atopy, intensity and duration of exposure have been recognized as predisposing factors for latex sensitization. frequency of sensitization varies among countries. so we decided to investigate the prevalence of latex sensitization and potential risk factors among healthcare workers in a general hospital. in a cross section...

In the present study, twenty-five male goat kids (20±2.5 kg BW) were used during an 84- day experimental period to determine the effect of source and level of sulfur supplementation on mohair characteristics and performance. Experimental diets were diets containing 0.18% (as control), 0.24% and 0.34% DM inorganic or organic sulfur. The data were analyzed as a 2 × 2 factorial design. Methionine ...

Hydrofluoroethers are shown to be benign solvents to a wide variety of organic electronic materials, even at extreme conditions such as boiling temperature. Coupled with fluorous functional photoresist-acidsensitive semi-perfluoroalkyl resorcinarene, they open new frontiers for photolithographical patterning for organic electronic systems. Summary of Research: Organic electronics is emerging as...
