porous hollow glass microspheres have many uses, including encapsulation of active materials. in this paper a fast and facile method for fabricating porous hollow glass-microspheres was demonstrated by etching them using dilute hydrofluoric acid. then, a highly reactive amine was infiltrated into the etched glass microspheres. scanning electron microscopy was conducted for the hollow glass micr...

The prime focus of this chapter is a hollow optical waveguide for integrated optics. Starting with a review of various novel hollow waveguide structures, physics and technology of tunable hollow waveguide have been presented with theory and experiments. With the flexible structure of hollow waveguide, a number of tunable optical functions can be realized; some of them are presented in the chapt...

Objective Tumour budding formed by histologically undifferentiated cancer cells beyond the border of the tumour margin is associated with lymph node metastasis. However, hollow tumour nests, a possible histologically advanced phenotype of tumour budding, have not been discussed. We examined whether hollow spheroids exist beyond the border of the invasive margin and are associated with metastasi...

reliable stress-strain behavior of concrete is necessary particularly when a member is subjected to combine bending and axial load and confinement effects should be accounted for. a unified theory for confinement of circular hollow sections is proposed herein, that can be extended to the case of solid and noncircular sections. the main aim of the model is to trace step-by-step the evolution of ...

We present a simple and effective heterogeneous contraction method to fabricate hollow spheres with controllable interior structures (ranging from solid, simple hollow to core-in-hollow-wall, double-wall hollow and core-in-double-hollow-wall spheres) by a non-equilibrium heat-treatment process of gel precursors with a high heating rate.

plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory (oft) periodic slab calculations were performed usingthe giteralized gradient approximation (gha) to investigate the adsorption of nitric oxide(no) on the (i ii)surface of cu. copper rface was stimulated using th p 'odic slab method consisting of five atomic layers.four different adsorption saes (atop. bridge, rcp hollow, and fcc hollow) were...

Ceramic hollow spheres of MoS2 and MoO3 were obtained by sonochemical synthesis of MoS2 and MoO3 templated on silica nanoparticles (diameters 50-500 nm) followed by acid etching to remove the silica core. The resulting hollow materials have been characterized by elemental analysis, XPS, SEM, TEM, optical absorption, and hydrodesulfurization (HDS) studies. The TEM studies on the hollow ceramic m...

Double-shell cobalt monoxide (CoO) hollow particles were successfully synthesized by a facile and effective one-pot solution-based synthetic route. The inner architecture and outer structure of the double-shell CoO hollow particles could be readily created through controlling experimental parameters. A possible formation mechanism was proposed based on the experimental results. The current synt...
