Article Abstract
Boron-modified ceramic materials derived from polymers (PDC) are the subject of this research. The primary objective is to compare the structure and microstructure of SiBOC materials obtained in varying pyrolysis conditions in comparison to base SiOC materials. The preparation involved a number of stages, staring with the hydrolytic polycondensation method, followed by the initial thermal treatment and the final stage-pyrolysis process in argon or argon/hydrogen atmospheres at different temperatures. Bulk SiOC and SiBOC glasses were thoroughly analyzed. Microstructure studies included Scanning Electron Microscopy and Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry. Moreover, to confirm the structure, the research consisted of Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The conducted research confirmed boron incorporation into the material structure in all samples. A free carbon phase has also been observed in SiBOC glasses, which has been confirmed in Raman spectroscopy measurements. This research indicates that in particular conditions, it is possible to obtain amorphous materials with nanocrystalline inclusions. This paper proves that the introduction of boron increases the porosity of materials and enhances their thermal stability.

This study investigates the physicochemical, microbiological, and microstructural changes in soft wheat grain during germination under varying moisture conditions: moderately dry, moist, and wet. Pre-harvest sprouting can severely compromise grain quality and usability; however, understanding germination-induced changes offers insights into potential utilization strategies. Physical parameters-including thousand-kernel weight, test weight, and falling number-showed strong correlation with germination time, decreasing by 8.

The development of the microstructure during polymeric spinodal decomposition can be monitored in real time using small-angle scattering. Information about the microstructure can be deduced from measurements of the structure factor-a quantity directly proportional to the scattered intensity. While the time evolution of the structure factor can be measured relatively easily, modeling it has proved to be much more difficult.

Perovskite materials have revolutionized optoelectronics by virtue of their tunable bandgaps, exceptional optoelectronic properties, and structural flexibility. Notably, the state-of-the-art performance of perovskite solar cells has reached 27%, making perovskite materials a promising candidate for next-generation photovoltaic technology. Although numerous reviews regarding perovskite materials have been published, the existing reviews generally focus on individual material systems (e.

The monolayer transistor, where the semiconductor layer is a single molecular layer, offers an ideal platform for exploring transport mechanisms both theoretically and experimentally by eliminating the influence of spatially correlated microstructure. However, the structure-property relations in polymer monolayers remain poorly understood, leading to low transistor performance to date. Herein, a self-confinement effect is demonstrated in the polymer monolayer with nanofibrillar microstructures and edge-on orientation, as characterized by the 4D scanning confocal electron diffraction method.

In this work, a series of potassium ion (K) pre-intercalated sodium hydrogen vanadates (K-HNVO) are prepared through a facile route. The introduction of K modulates the microstructure of the pristine sodium metavanadate and increases the interlayer spacing, thereby resulting in improved charge transport kinetics. Moreover, the pillaring effect of K enhances the structural stability of the pristine material.
