Synthesis of mesoporous graphene materials by soft-template methods remains a great challenge, owing to the poor self-assembly capability of precursors and the severe agglomeration of graphene nanosheets. Herein, a micelle-template strategy to prepare porous graphene materials with controllable mesopores, high specific surface areas and large pore volumes is reported. By fine-tuning the synthes...

Molecular imprinting is the technology of creating artificial recognition sites in polymeric matrices which are complementary to the template in their size, shape and spatial arrangement of the functional groups. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) and their incorporation with various transducer platforms are among the most promising approaches for detection of several analytes. There are a v...

This paper describes a novel framework to build 3D Point Distribution Model (PDM) from a set of segmented volumetric images. This method is based on a deformable model algorithm. Each training sample deforms to approximate all other training shapes. The training sample with best approximation results is then chosen as the template. Finally, the poor approximation results from this template are ...

in this work, polypyrrole/ceo2 nanocomposite (nc) was synthesized in the presence of methylorange as a reactive self-degraded soft template. the field emission scanning electron microscopy(fesem) images indicate that the ceo2 nps have a nucleus effect and cause a homogenous ppycore–shell type morphology with an encapsulation of the ceo2 core by the ppy shell. the effect ofnc on acrylic waterbor...

About ten years ago Ryoo and co-workers [1,2] reported the hard-templating (HT) synthesis of ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) by using ordered mesoporous silicas (OMSs) as hard templates. Five years afterward the soft-templating (ST) synthesis of OMCs has been discovered [3-6]. Significant progress has been made in both hardand soft-templating synthesis of OMCs [7-10]. Major advances in the sy...

Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) was successfully synthesized by precipitation method using the extract of Cylea barbata Miers (CBM) leaves as a soft template after 3 h of calcinations in furnace at 500oC in the open air. Characterization results showed that the nanostructured ZnO had hexagonal wurtzite structure with space group P63mc and nano-scale particle diameter. It was suggested that the ...

the concept of soft sets, introduced by molodtsov [20] is a mathematicaltool for dealing with uncertainties, that is free from the difficultiesthat have troubled the traditional theoretical approaches. in this paper, weapply the notion of the soft sets of molodtsov to the theory of hilbert algebras.the notion of soft hilbert (abysmal and deductive) algebras, soft subalgebras,soft abysms and sof...

This review concentrates on the various chemical routes for synthesis of silver nanowires by soft solution methods, and also the production of gold nanotubes and Pt nanotubes from different templates. After a comprehensive comparison between the developed methods, it is concluded that the soft solution method has obvious advantages and is the most promising route for the mass production of silv...

Reconfigurable cores support post-release updates which shortens time-to-market while extending circuits’ lifespan. Reconfigurable cores can be provided as hard cores (ASIC) or soft cores (RTL). Soft reconfigurable cores outperform hard reconfigurable cores by preserving the ASIC synthesis flow, at the cost of lowering scalability but also exacerbating timing closure issues. This article tackle...
