Mesoporous silica pillared clay (SPC) incorporated with tungstophosphoric acid (HPW) has been synthesized via in situ introducing P and W source in the acidic suspension of the clay interlayer template during the formation of the silica pillared clay. The samples were characterized by XRD, XRF, FT-IR, TG-DTA, N(2) adsorption-desorption, and SEM techniques. The results showed that the HPW formed...

interactions between cd, pillared clays and chalcogenedies have been studied using nanomineralogical experiments. xrd, dsc and chemical analysis. the synchrotron-based x-ray absorption spectroscopy (xas) was applied to characterize the reaction phases. the mean bond lengths between, cd-s, fe-s, sb-s, cd-cd (in chalcogenedies), al-cd, cd-ti, and fe-cd, (in pillared clays) were determined by xas ...

Interactions between Cd, pillared clays and chalcogenedies have been studied using nanomineralogical experiments. XRD, DSC and chemical analysis. The synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was applied to characterize the reaction phases. The mean bond lengths between, Cd-S, Fe-S, Sb-S, Cd-Cd (in chalcogenedies), Al-Cd, Cd-Ti, and Fe-Cd, (in pillared clays) were determined by XAS ...

Two new Mg(II)-based and Zn(II)-based coordination polymers, {[Mg3(BTB)(DMA)4](DMA)2}n (1, H3BTB=1,3,5-benzenetrisbenzoic acid, DMA=N,N-dimethylacetamide) and {(H2NMe2)2[Zn3(BTB)2(OH)(Im)](DMF)9(MeOH)7}n (2, Im=imidazole, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide), have been successfully synthesized and structurally characterized under solvothermal conditions. 1 contains a linear [Mg3(COO)6] cluster that conne...

We have used novel microporous biphenylene-pillared layered silicates as receptors in a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) for sensing toluene vapors. The silicate was successfully coated on a QCM electrode modified with 2-aminoethanethiol. The resultant electrode showed quantitative frequency responses due to enhanced adhesion between the silicate and the electrode. The silicate-coated electrod...

Ventilated brake discs are used in high speed automobiles. The brake disc is an important component in the braking system which is expected to withstand and dissipate the heat generated during the braking event. In the present work, an attempt is made to study the effect of vane-shape rotor on the flow-field and heat transfer characteristics for different configurations of vanes for different r...

Pillared carbon thin films were prepared from the thermal reduction of graphite oxide silylated with octyltrichlorosilane and then dimethyldichlorosilane. The interlayer spacing of the resulting pillared carbon thin film was 1.29 nm, and it contained hydrophobic Si–CH3 groups, excluding Si–OH ones. The resistance of it increased during the exposure to acetone vapor, while it was unchanged when ...

Abstract This study focuses on pre-synthetic functionalized MOF material normally known as pillared layer MOFs. An additional component DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2] octane) is added to the MOFs which works a pillar produce 3D structured Zn-BDC-DABCO and Co-BDC-DABCO were studied for their performance in CO 2 capture application. The addition of turns 2D-layered metal-BDC lattice into structur...

Kelantan and Terengganu are rich with beautiful carvings and distinctive motifs. Typically, they use motifs of flora, geometry and calligraphy rather than other motifs and also use as a benchmark of local architecture identity in Peninsular Malaysia. This study will present design analysis of carvings and motifs used on twelve pillared house in Kelantan and Terengganu. Carving in twelve pillare...
