Micron-sized steel particles encapsulated within a silica host matrix and then coated with a photocatalytic TiO2 nanocomposite shell have been prepared using sol-gel chemistry and shown to readily degrade waterborne organic ...

Low loading palladium catalyst cloths have been prepared by surface complexation of palladium(II) chloride with plasmachemical imidazole functionalised non-woven polypropylene cloth. For Sonogashira, Mizoroki-Heck, and ...

The morphology of hydrophobic CF4 plasma fluorinated polybutadiene surfaces has been characterised using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Judicious choice of the plasma power and exposure duration leads to formation of three ...
