Article Abstract
We report on a novel technique of surface texturing of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foil in the presence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). This approach provides a variable surface morphology of PET evenly decorated with AgNPs. Surface texturing occurred in silver nanoparticle colloids of different concentrations under the action of pulse excimer laser. Surface morphology of PET immobilized with AgNPs was observed by AFM and FEGSEM. Atomic concentration of silver was determined by XPS. A presented concentration-controlled procedure of surface texturing of PET in the presence of silver colloids leads to a highly nanoparticle-enriched polymer surface with a variable morphology and uniform nanoparticle distribution.

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to energy conversion technologies and requires efficient catalysts for superior performance. Herein, nitrogen-doped carbide-derived carbon (N-CDC) catalysts are prepared using novel engineered molecular architectures based on polymer-derived ceramic technology. The obtained catalyst materials show a surface N concentration of >5 wt % and a hierarchically porous structure, resulting in a specific surface area of over 2000 m g.

This study aims at the establishment of a universally applicable etching methodology to unveil the nanoscale crystalline structure of the matrix resin in fiber reinforced thermoplastic (FRTP) composites scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline structure hierarchically consists of crystalline texture, spherulite and lamella. The details of these structures are key parameters to understand the relationship with the mechanical properties of the material for the advancement.

This study investigated the effects of electron beam irradiation (0-8 kGy) on the physicochemical and protein properties of scallop adductor muscles under refrigerated storage. Irradiation significantly decreased moisture content, microbial counts, and total sulfhydryl content immediately after treatment (day 0), while increasing carbonyl content, surface hydrophobicity, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) (P < 0.05).
