Study of the Influence of Bamboo Suspension Water-Removal Processes on the Properties of Bamboo-Based Molding Materials.

Bamboo is a fast-growing lignocellulosic plant in nature. It is an abundant and renewable resource with wide applications. The processing of bamboo results in a large amount of residue.

Superstructures with diverse morphologies and highly ordered fullerene C arrays from 1 : 1 and 2 : 1 adamantane-C hybrid molecules.

Superstructures from fullerene C-containing compounds, especially those tethered to rigid functional groups with defined shapes, remain largely unexplored. Being the smallest diamondoid, adamantane (Ad) can be viewed as a promising building block for the construction of well-defined superstructures. Here, we report the syntheses of 1 : 1 (4a) and 2 : 1 (4b) Ad-C hybrid molecules, which were then used to construct superstructures in binary solvent mixtures via a modified liquid/liquid interfacial precipitation (LLIP) method using CHCl as a good solvent.

Zero-charged catanionic lamellar liquid crystals doped with fullerene C for potential applications in tribology.

The formation of lamellar liquid crystals (LLCs) has been demonstrated in a few salt-free catanionic surfactant systems and their properties have been well documented. However, examples of their combination with other materials are relatively rare. Herein, a salt-free zero-charged catanionic surfactant with low chain melting temperature was prepared by mixing equimolar tetradecyltrimethylammonium oxide (TTAOH) and oleic acid (OA) in water, and its concentration-dependent aggregate transition was investigated.

Robust onionlike structures with magnetic and photodynamic properties formed by a fullerene C-POM hybrid.

We report for the first time the synthesis of a covalently-linked fullerene C-Dawson POM hybrid, which can form onionlike structures with rich magnetic, electrochemical and photodynamic properties.
