Date: 25-07-16 

… This knowledge favours the development of biotechnological strategies aimed at improving specific properties of bast fibres. To be able to perform high-throughput analyses, such as, for instance,…

232. Photovoltaics with ferroelectrics: Current status and beyond
Date: 25-07-16 

… and non-linear optically transparent materials, the coupling of polarization with optical properties has received, since 2009, renewed attention, triggered notably by low-bandgap ferroelectrics…

233. Theory of antiferroelectric phase transitions
Date: 25-07-16 

… (AFE) phase transitions are still under discussion due to the absence of specific symmetry properties characterizing their existence. They are recognized by the proximity of a ferroelectric (FE) phase…

234. Binary mixed homopolymer brushes tethered to cellulose nanocrystals: a step towards compatibilized polyester blends
Date: 25-07-16 

… same procedure. The hairy nanoparticles were characterized in terms of chemical composition and thermal properties. Spectroscopic analyses suggested “rippled” microphase separation of both immiscible…

235. Liquid-assisted plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of catechol and quinone-functionalized coatings: Insights into the surface chemistry and morphology
Date: 25-07-16 

… Quinone groups provide a real platform for the immobilization of biomolecules with various properties, e.g., antibiotics degradation, antibacterial, while the catechol groups are interesting for…

236. Using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to identify the contribution of earthworms to soil macroaggregation in field conditions
Date: 21-07-16 

…Soil aggregates, the basic unit of structure in soils, regulate fundamental soil properties. However, a major obstacle to describing and modelling aggregate dynamics and associated processes is an almost complete…
