Fe-MIL-101-NH(2) was prepared by a novel method. The MOFs adhered well to SPPO via chemical bonds, and yielded the mixed-matrix Fe-MIL-101-NH(2)-SPPO membrane for use in fuel cells. The proton conductivity of the membranes was as high as 0.10 S cm(-1) at room temperature and 0.25 S cm(-1) at 90 °C.

The synthesis of materials with tailored properties is one of the most active areas of material science [1, 2]. Among so many materials, γ-alumina due to the significant application in catalysis, electronic and ceramic industry has been studied extensively [3]. Various processes have been employed for the preparation of high quality alumina, including sol-gel processing from aluminum alkoxides....

The paper describes the preparation and production of the reference materials, IRMM-1000a and IRMM-1000b, certified for the production date based on the 230Th/234U radiochronometer in compliance with ISO Guide 34:2009. The production date of the reference materials corresponds to the last separation of 230Th from 234U, i.e. when the initial daughter nuclide content in the material was finally r...

In this paper, we review the contributions which MBE (molecular beam epitaxy) has made to the field of GMR (giant magnetoresistance) and interlayer exchange coupling in magnetic multilayers and sandwiches. A historical overview is given and a key advantage of MBE over alternative preparation techniques is emphasized: the ability to probe in situ the growth and structure of these materials. Rece...

The use of qualitative judgements in multicriteria decision models is receiving increasing attention and a variety of approaches have been developed which cover a wide range of techniques. One method which has received increasing attention in the literature is the relatively recently developed analytic hierarchy process (‘AHP). This method has been widely documented in a variety of problem area...
