Abstract. Ferric hydroxide supported Pd catalyst prepared by a simple co-precipitation method without calcinations at elevated temperatures and only reduced at 50 ◦C possessed unexpectedly higher activity for CO oxidations even compared with that of supported Au catalysts. XRD and TEM results showed that the support was mixture of Fe(OH)x and Fe3O4 and Pd was highly dispersed on it. XPS r…
Abstract. Highly ordered honeycomb films are prepared by breath-figure method using an amphiphilic diblock copolymer of polystyrene-block-polyacrylic acid (PS-b-PAA). By simply cross-linking PS matrix via deep ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, both the solvent and thermal stability of the porous films was significantly improved while retaining the three-dimensional (3D) structures. The film sur…
The chemical oxidation of polyaniline is carried out at constant acidity, investigating six separate pH levels (pH = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6). All prior studies on polyaniline self-assembly used a falling-pH or a temporarily buffered falling-pH method, making this the first application of pH-stat techniques to the study of polymer nanostructure formation. This allows us to isolate with improved…
