Single-crystal tungsten nanobelts with thicknesses from tens to hundreds of nanometers, widths of several micrometers and lengths of tens of micrometers were synthesized using chemical vapor deposition. Surface energy minimization was believed to have played a crucial role in the growth of the synthesized nanobelts enclosed by the low-energy {110} crystal planes of body-centered-cubic structure...

DNA methylation is established by DNA methyltransferases and is a key epigenetic mark. Ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins are enzymes that oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and further oxidization products (oxi-mCs), which indirectly promote DNA demethylation. Here, we provide an overview of the effect of TET proteins and altered DNA modification status in T ...

Cross-ply laminates reinforced with basalt fibers and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated from unidirectional epoxy prepregs. MWCNTs with varied surface conditions were prepared by oxidization or esterification, and then dispersed into a DGEBA epoxy system. The dispersion of the MWCNTs in the epoxy was improved by surface modification, resulting in improved com...

Cellulose nanowhiskers as one kind of renewable and biocompatible nanomaterials evoke much interest because its versatility in various applications. Herein, the sisal cellulose with ultrathin diameter 5–10 nm, high crystallinity 74% C6 carboxylate groups converted from primary hydroxyls were prepared via a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)/NaBr/NaClO system selective oxidizat...

The durability of platinum nanoparticles is investigated to determine the way in which particle size and oxygen coverage affect their reconstruction under gas-phase conditions oxidizing environments. Classical molecular dynamics simulations are performed using third-generation charge-optimized many-body potential, findings compared experimental measurements. diameters range from 1.35 nm 11.29 n...

The instability of hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) biocrude has impeded the broader utilization fuel and chemical feedstock. In this paper, we investigated storage stability produced from HTL microalgae. showed good in phase homogeneity water content, whereas viscosity average molecular weight increased by 48.4 41.9%, respectively, after storing for 12 months. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) a...
