Tb 3+ -based gain materials possess potential for the realization of efficient and compact continuous wave and Q-switched visible lasers [1] , [2] , [3] . When pumped in the cyan-blue at around 486 nm ...

This degradation is stereoselective, by a non-radical cis-elimination mechanism and shearing of the polymeric chain, leading to the reduction of the molar mass of the polymer and the formation of ...

Additionally, the metafilm successfully reflected 98.7 percent of sunlight while withstanding 120 hours of strong acid, or equivalent to eight months of solar radiation exposure. The simulations also ...

Abstract Due to their biobased nature and biodegradability, poly (lactic acid) (PLA) rich blends are promising for processing in the packaging industry. However, pure PLA is brittle and UV transparent ...

The heterogeneous reaction between thin films of catechol exposed to O3(g) creates hydroxyl radicals (HO•) in situ, which in turn generate semiquinone radical intermediates in the path to form heavier ...
