Multiscale Rheo-Optical and Scattering Signatures of Deformation-Induced Anisotropy in Aqueous Cellulose Nanocrystal Suspensions under Large-Amplitude Oscillatory Shear

Abstract Aqueous surface-charged cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspensions exhibit concentration-dependent viscosity growth, gelation, and deformation-induced anisotropy, but the concentration and strain-amplitude ranges over which these responses emerge are not necessarily the sam...

Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Complexes with Diethyl 2-Hydroxyazulene-1,3-dicarboxylate as a Ligand

Abstract The reaction of diethyl 2-hydroxyazulene-1,3-dicarboxylate (DEHA) with zinc species (Zn(OAc)2 and ZnCl2) in the presence of various alkali metal carbonates (M2CO3) was investigated. The resulting complexes were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fo...

Real-Time Monitoring with a Wristwatch-Type Sodium- and Potassium-Ion Sensor Using a Screen-Printed Liquid-Junction Reference Electrode

Abstract Wearable ion sensors have gained increasing attention for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of ions in body fluids such as sweat. However, printed reference electrodes commonly used in potentiometric ion sensors require prolonged conditioning to achieve stable potent...

ElectronicStructure of Cu-Phthalocyanine Metal–OrganicFramework

Abstract Metal phthalocyanine metal–organic frameworks (MPc-MOFs) possess a crystalline structure consisting of stacked molecular layers that form a square lattice composed of metal phthalocyanine (MPc) units. The unique structure of these MPc-MOF molecular layers is theoreticall...
