Recently, graphene nanomesh (GNM) has attracted great attentions due to its unique porous structure, abundant active sites, finite band gap and possesses potential applications in the fields of electronics, gas sensor/storage, catalysis, etc. Therefore, diverse GNMs with different physical and chemical properties are required urgently to meet different applications. Herein we demonstrate a faci...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have identified the behavioral responses of Aedes aegypti to irritant and repellent chemicals that can be exploited to reduce man-vector contact. Maximum efficacy of interventions based on irritant chemical actions will, however, require full knowledge of variables that influence vector resting behavior and how untreated "safe sites" contribute to overall impact. M...

This paper reports a kinetic study on modified CVD process in porous ceramic substrates by both theoretical analysis and experimental approach. The theoretical analysis indicates that with a heterogeneous chemical reaction the decrease of the pore size is proportional to the deposition time and the pore closure time is proportional to the original pore size. While for a homogeneous reaction the...

Surface properties carbonaceous materials are often modified by chemical deposition in order to expand the range of their applications | 11. However, the exact nature of the chemical deposition process is not completely understood. The layers of deposited material may exhibit a high degree of inhomogeneity., which results in inadequate performance of the modified material in the targeted applic...

D. Dobrotă, C. Iancu, Engineering Faculty, “Constantin Brâncuşi” University of Târgu-Jiu, Romania This paper presents the results of the main changes in the chemical composition of the material, and changes in its hardness. The changes in terms of chemical composition refer primarily to changes in concentration of sulfur and carbon, and in terms of hardness material change there can be noticed ...

The ability to directly characterize chemical transport and interactions that occur within a material (i.e., subsurface dynamics) is a vital component in understanding contaminant mass transport and the ability to decontaminate materials. If a material is contaminated, over time, the transport of highly toxic chemicals (such as chemical warfare agent species) out of the material can result in v...
