Coatings of Polymers with TiO2 Nanoparticles by Sonochemical Method

Perkas N., Gedanken A., Bar-Ilan University, IL

The TiO2 films due to their photocatalytic properties are widely used for coating of polymers to impart them with the self cleaning properties. Although the titania films were thoroughly studied earlier the development of simple [...]

Ultra Accelerated Quantum Chemical Molecular Dynamics Study on Mechanochemical Reaction of Micro-Bubble Induced by Shock Wave

Hatakeyama N., Nomura A., Sasaki Y., Chiba K., Hata H., Hatakeyama N., Okushi K., Suzuki A., Koyama M., Tsuboi H., Endou A., Takaba H., Kubo M., Del Carpio C.A., Kitada M., Kabashima H., Miyamoto A., Tohoku University, JP

Mechanochemical reactions and micro-bubble formation may take place in water under strong compression/rarefaction realized by shock waves e.g. generated in collapsing process of laser-induced bubbles. However, elementary processes of the micro-bubble have never been revealed [...]
