An engineered material, possessing a hierarchical porosity in a shape selective manner, was synthesized by placing a microporous silicalite-1 shell over silica microspheres embedded with various guest species. Core materials ...

In this study, the power of first-principles methods along with molecular dynamics and atomistic Monte Carlo simulations is employed to elucidate the effects of the structural relaxation on the exchange bias (EB) behavior ...

The current research Project aims to determine water quality in recreational tourist areas in the Mera, Shell and Pambay docks of Pastaza province, the study was based on several biological indicators. Two macroinvertebrate ...

Spherical particles with an amorphous core of silica and a crystalline shell of titanium oxide (SiO2@TiO2) formed in a three-step procedure, being the last step a mild chemical treatment. SiO2@TiO2 had a shell with pores ...

Today, the major challenges that have to be overcome for a massive production and commercialization of direct alcohol fuel cell (DAFC) technologies for stationary, portable and transportation applications are the high cost ...

Fabrication of mineralized structures is a widespread phenomenon among living organisms (e.g., shells, carapaces, spines, spicules, bones and teeth). These ceramic biocomposites consist of layered assemblies of minute ...

Avian eggshells are natural composite bioceramics containing organic and inorganic phases. The occurrence and role of particular collagens and proteoglycans in the eggshell and their pattern of secretion by the oviduct is ...

ZrO2@SiO2 core-shell nanostructures were synthesized by a facile two-step hydrothermal plus Stöber chemical route. The structure, morphology and properties of the nanoparticles were characterized using X-ray powder diffraction ...
