Chemistry World recently spoke to Ryo Horikoshi, a chemist at Okayama University of Science, about the stunning paper models of supramolecular structures he has been crafting for his undergraduate students. He told us about how he came up…

Chemistry World recently spoke with Ryo Horikoshi at the Okayama University of Science in Japan about his amazing papercraft models of metal-organic frameworks and cages. He told us how rewarding it has been to develop a variety of models to…

Physiochemical characterizations

Figure 1 shows the intermolecular interaction between cellulose acetate and PEG1000, and the pathway of Li⁺ cations in SPEs. Since LVC is a heteropolyanion, with countercations of lithium, and in this system acted…

Characterization

Figure 1a shows XRD diagrams of 5CuMMT, 10CuMMT, and 20CuMMT composites before adsorption. The diffraction peaks observed at 2θ = 19.61°, 27.92°, 35.09°, and 60.25° correspond to the MMT’s main mineral component³⁴. The…

Characterization of AP, AN, and DAN-4

SEM images show AN particles (Fig. 2a) demonstrated an agglomerated structure with uneven shapes, and irregular form. For AP, the SEM images (Fig. 2b) reveal a nearly spherical structure without any…
