Carbon nanotubes can be chemically modified by attaching various functionalities to their surfaces, although harsh chemical treatments can lead to their break-up into graphene nanostructures. On the other hand, direct coupling between functionalities bound on individual nanotubes could lead to, as yet unexplored, spontaneous chemical reactions. Here we report an ambient mechano-chemical reactio...

with HMX, performed with a simultaneous thermogravimetric modulated beam mass spectrometry (STMBMS) apparatus, and have created a reaction cycle that captures the physical processes and chemical reactions that control its decomposition. The reaction cycle is based on 9 different physical processes and 7 general chemical reactions that play a significant role in controlling the decomposition of ...

The present work deals with the synthesis and characterization of CdS nanoparticles with good thermal stability and optical properties by a novel and simple synthetic route. The nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical precipitation method in a single reaction vessel under ambient conditions. The prepared CdS nanoparticles were compared with the bulk CdS. The Optical properties were determin...

The rarefied gas effect on concentration slip and on heterogeneous combustion in microscale chemical reactors was investigated. First, a concentration slip model to describe the rarefied gas effect on the species transport in microscale chemical reactors was derived from the approximate solution of the Boltzmann equation. Second, the model was verified using the direct Monte-Carlo method for th...

The production and annihilation of antiprotons in the hadronic phase of heavy-ion collisions is evaluated within a thermal equilibrium approach. It is shown that the inverse reaction of pp̄ annihilation (i.e., multi-pion annihilation Nππ → pp̄ with Nπ ≃ 5-7) in connection with oversaturation of pion phase space (i.e., finite pion chemical potentials) plays an important role in understanding the o...

Development of peripheral neuropathy, which can present as painful neuropathy or loss of sensation, sometimes limit the use of paclitaxel in the treatment of solid tumors such as breast cancer. Previous studies reported development of thermal hyperalgesia in mice treated with paclitaxel. In this study an automated flinch detection system for the formalin test (20 μl of 5% formalin injected subc...
