Luminescent carbon-based materials have been prepared by electrostatic self-assembly of negatively-charged luminescent Eu(III)-complex with imidazolium-functionalized MWCNTs.

Abstract The hare’s fur glazed Jian wares characterized by radial fur-like strips, as one of the typical representatives Chinese ceramics in 10th-13th century (A.D.), were famous for aesthetic values highlighting color sparkling effects tea soup, which indispensable culture. firing technology glaze not only played a crucial role development ceramic history, but also enlightened modern imitation...

Icing is widely recognized as one of the most serious weather hazards to aircraft operations. Aircraft icing occurs when small, super-cooled, airborne water droplets, which make up clouds and fog, freeze upon impact with a surface, which results in the formation of ice (Mason 1971). The freezing can be complete or partial, depending on how rapidly the latent heat of fusion can be released into ...

We report two prototype Ln(3+) complexes that address requirements for both MRI and luminescence imaging and we demonstrate that the presence of two H(2)O molecules bound to the Ln(3+), beneficial for MRI applications of the Gd(3+) analogue, is not a major limitation for the development of NIR luminescent agents.

This work presents a simple method to generate ordered chromophore/dispersant nanoarrays through a pore-filling process for a nanoporous polymer template to enhance chromophore luminescence. Fluorescence results combining with the morphological evolution examined by scanning probe microscopy reveal that the enhanced luminescence intensity reaches the maximum intensity as the nanopores of the te...

A new composite film based on calcined layered rare earth hydroxides and poly(vinyl alcohol) shows a visible light transmittance comparable to that of the pure matrix, highly reinforced mechanical strength as well as tunable photoluminescence in rolled and folded shapes.
