The microstructure and magnetic domain structure of a Co-CoO obliquely evaporated tape for magnetic recording are studied by analytical electron microscopy and electron holography, respectively. While the existence of Co and CoO crystallites is confirmed by energy-filtered electron diffraction, columnar structure of the Co crystallites surrounded by the densely packed CoO crystallites is visualized by an elemental mapping method with electron energy loss spectroscopy, and the crystal orientation relation among the Co crystallites is clarified by high-resolution electron microscopy. It is found that the neighboring Co crystallites have close crystal orientations. On the other hand, electron holography reveals the magnetic flux distribution in a thin section of the tape. Although there exists the background resulting from the effect of inner potential with thickness variation, the distribution of lines of magnetic flux is found to correspond well to the recorded pattern.

Massive bleeding and bacterial infection of wounds may be life-threatening or even lead to death. Nowadays, gelatin-based hemostatic sponges have been widely used, but gelatin is not antibacterial and has poor structural stability. In this study, we mixed an antibacterial polypeptide, ε-poly-L-lysine (EPL), into gelatin.

Dental Materials Unit, Center for Dental Medicine, Clinic for Masticatory Disorders and Dental Biomaterials, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic bonding to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys fabricated by casting, milling, and additive manufacturing, compared with zirconia and nickel-chromium. One hundred specimens (N = 100), prepared with the dimensions of 25 × 3 × 0.5 mm, were assigned to five groups (n = 20): presintered milled Co-Cr (Group M), additively manufactured Co-Cr (Group SLM), cast Co-Cr (Group C), presintered zirconia (Group Zi), and cast Ni-Cr (Group Ni).

Reduction behavior of PdO-NiO/SiO: how Pd location affects cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation.

Catal Sci Technol

December 2024

Laboratory of Inorganic Materials and Catalysis, Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology Eindhoven The Netherlands

In this work, we study the reducibility of a PdO precursor placed by strong electrostatic adsorption on either NiO or SiO of NiO/SiO obtained by incipient wetness impregnation. The catalysts were characterized by HAADF-STEM, quasi- XPS, CO IR spectroscopy and H chemisorption as a function of the reduction temperature and evaluated for their performance in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation. PdO on SiO requires reduction at higher temperatures to achieve appreciable rates of cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation.
