Borocarbonitride, (BN)x(C)1-x, nanosheet-reinforced polymer nanocomposites for high mechanical performance by Sreedhara, M.B., Barua, Manaswee, Chaturvedi, Abhishek, Rao, C.N.R., Ramamurty, Upadrasta

“…Herein, we examine the reinforcing effect of nanosheets of borocarbonitide, (BN)x(C)1-x, which are analogues to graphene (x = 0) and boron nitride sheets (x = 1), whose surface functional groups vary with the composition, on the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA. …”

In2Se3-based two-dimensional photocatalysts for water-splitting by Wong, CCY

“…<p>Photocatalytic water splitting has been a burgeoning field of study due to its potential to change the world’s fossil-based energy structure; however, an ideal photocatalyst has yet to be identified despite years of research. Recent research has revealed that indium selenide (In₂Se₃) carries great potential in being a promising photocatalytic water splitting catalyst due to its unique intrinsic ferroelectricity, suitability of band structure and ability to be exfoliated into two-dimensional (2D) sheets. …”

Neutron diffraction as a precise and reliable method for obtaining structural properties of bulk quantities of graphene by Sofer, Zdeněk, Šimek, Petr, Jankovský, Ondřej, Sedmidubský, David, Beran, Přemysl, Pumera, Martin

“…Graphene based carbon materials have attracted a great deal of attention in the last decade; nowadays tons of graphene are produced yearly. However, there is lack of precise and reliable techniques for the determination of structural properties of graphene on the bulk scale. …”

Readability of chairman's statement in Singapore. by Goh, Eng Yang., Lim, Poh Chen., Wee, Kian Seng.

“…This is because majority of them do not have the time or the expertise to read detailed financial statements such as Balance Sheets or Profit and Loss statements. Hence, it is important that chairman’s statements are written in a form that is readable and understandable by majority of shareholders. …”

The impact of the solar energy on the load profile of the building by Zhang, Jun

“…Unlike fossil fuels such as oil and natural gases, the silicon sheets – known as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, harness the sun’s energy, turning it into electricity, while emitting minimal greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. …”

How J-chain ensures the assembly of immunoglobulin IgM pentamers by Giannone, Chiara, Mess, Xenia, He, Ruiming, Chelazzi, Maria R., Mayer, Annika, Bakunts, Anush, Nguyen, Tuan, Bushman, Yevheniia, Orsi, Andrea, Gansen, Benedikt, Degano, Massimo, Buchner, Johannes, Sitia, Roberto

“…The J-chain interacts with the hydrophobic β-sheets selectively exposed by nascent pentamers. Completion of an amyloid-like core triggers JC folding and drives disulfide rearrangements that covalently stabilize JC-containing pentamers. …”

Selective removal of hydroxyl groups from graphene oxide by Chua, Chun Kiang, Pumera, Martin

“…Numerous methods starting from various reducing agents have been developed to obtain near-pristine graphene sheets. However, most of the reducing agents are not mechanistically supported by classical organic chemistry knowledge and of those that are supported, they are only theoretically capable of, at most, reducing oxygen-containing groups on graphene oxide to hydroxyl groups. …”

Lithium intercalation compound dramatically influences the electrochemical properties of exfoliated MoS2 by Ambrosi, Adriano, Sofer, Zdeněk, Pumera, Martin

“…MoS2 and other transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently gained a renewed interest due to the interesting electronic, catalytic, and mechanical properties which they possess when down-sized to single or few layer sheets. Exfoliation of the bulk multilayer structure can be achieved by a preliminary chemical Li intercalation followed by the exfoliation due to the reaction of Li with water. …”
