Preparation and Study of Structural, Optical and Electrical Properties of the Composite Films [PVA-PEO-MnCl2.4H2O

In the present paper, pure polymeric blend film [PVA-PEO] and the polymeric blend films reinforced by MnCl2.4H2O salt with different weight ratios (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 wt %) have been prepared by using the solution casting method. The effects of weight ratio of salt on structural properties for all reinforced polymeric blends films were studied. FTIR spectra were used to establish the interaction between the polymer (PVA) and the polymer (PEO) reinforced by MnCl2.4H2O salt, which causes some changes in the vibration modes and the position of the bonds. All inrestigated samples exhibited broad bonds at around (3310 cm-1). The results showed the asymmetric vibration of O-H group in the polymers matrix. The peaks around (2880 cm-1) can be attributed to the presence of C- H stretching vibration group. The C=C stretching vibration appears in the bonds at (1955 cm-1). The peak at (1096 cm-1) for all reinforced films is attributed to the stretching mode of C-O-C stretching. There is a shift of out-of-plane rings C-H bending vibration from 961.2 to 955 cm-1. These indicate the chemical interactions of MnCl2.4H2O salt with the polymeric blend [PVA-PEO]. The two strong bonds observed around (1471 cm-1 and 844 cm-1) are assigned to the bending and stretching vibration of the CH2 group, respectively. The change in the spectral intensities of polymeric blend [PVA-PEO] involves a shift in some bonds due to the MnCl2.4H2O salt addition. The effects of weight ratio of salt on optical properties for all reinforced polymeric blends films were studied, as the transmittance and absorbance spectra were recorded within the range of wavelengths (190-1100) nm, and it was found that the energy gap value decreases with an increase of the added salt’s weight ratio. Results showed that the indirect electronic transitions are allowed. Effects of salt’s weight ratio on electrical (dielectrical) properties for all reinforced polymeric blends films were studied, and the practical results showed a decrease in the dielectric constant (ε΄) with an increase in frequency for all polymeric blends films, while the practical results also showed an increase in the alternating electrical conductivity (σa.c) with increasing frequency for all polymeric blends films, as well as an increase in both the dielectric constant and alternating electrical conductivity with an increase in the added salt’s weight ratio at same frequency.

Tetrel Bonding of the Carbenium Ion Forms a Pentacoordinate Carbon Atom.

As a flat trigonal species, the CR3 + carbenium ion contains a pair of deep π-holes above and below its molecular plane. In the case of CH3 + a first base will form a covalent bond with the central C, making the combined species tetrahedral. Approach of a second base to the opposite side results in a longer but rather strong noncovalent tetrel bond (TB). While CMe3 + can also form a similar asymmetric complex with a pair of bases, it also has the capacity to form a pair of nearly equivalent TBs, such that the resulting symmetric trigonal bipyramid configuration is only slightly higher in energy. When the three substituents on the central C are phenyl rings, the symmetric configuration with two TBs predominates. These tetrel bonds are quite strong, reaching up to 20 kcal/mol. Adding OPH2 or OCH substituents to the phenyl rings permits the formation of intramolecular C⋅⋅O TBs to the central C, very similar in many respects to the case where these TBs are intermolecular.

Fostering information security compliance as organizational citizenship behavior

Information security is heightened when employees develop a strong sense of information stewardship for information assets, a form of organizational citizenship behavior, suggesting that compliance should be perceived as a symbiotic relationship between organizations and employees. We conducted a field study by collecting multi-source, match-paired survey data from 487 employees paired with their supervisor's ratings. Results showed that affective commitment, job satisfaction, perceived organizational support, and social influence were positively related to compliance behavior. This research contributes to the information security literature by showing that employees with strong organizational bond are more likely to exhibit higher levels of security policy compliance.

Engineering of uniform dispersed Ni nanoparticles supported on carbon nanosheets for reduction of Nitroarenes to Aminoarenes

Facile synthesis of uniform supported metal catalysts is of great significance yet remains challenging for sustainable catalysis. Herein, a nanopore confinement strategy is developed to efficiently anchor metal ions in suitably sized polymer nanopores via strong coordinate bonds and ensure successful fabrication of uniform carbon-supported metal nanoparticles. Specifically, Ni2+-coordinated polydopamine (PDA) mesoporous layer was coated on GO nanosheets for the confinement of the nickel atoms (GO@PDA-Ni-x, x means pore size of PDA layer), resulting Ni@C-x nanosheets catalysts with uniformly dispersed Ni nanoparticles after pyrolysis in H2/Ar atmosphere. Characterization methods including SEM, TEM, and XPS reveal the intrinsic formation mechanism and physicochemical details. In the catalytic reaction of NaBH4-mediated hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), the obtained Ni/C-10 exhibits exceptional catalytic performance with a rapid rate constant (0.686 min−1), outperforming many previously reported metal catalysts. Moreover, the catalytic activity remains almost unchanged after being recycled five times, proving the prominent stability. This work opens up an innovative avenue for rational design and synthesis of supported catalysts with controllable size for broad catalytic applications.

The community health worker experience and perception toward mental illness: A multi-settings cross-sectional study in Indonesia.

The experiences and perceptions of Community Health Workers toward mental illness are vital for tailoring interventions, reducing stigma, improving access to services, and fostering community engagement in mental health initiatives. This study investigates the experiences of community health worker and their perception of mental illness. A multi-settings cross-sectional study was conducted among 487 Community Health Workers. Their experience and perception toward mental illness were studied with questionnaires, which examined their general perception, religious-related perception, cause, treatment, and expectation for mental treatment. Most participants concurred that serving as a community health worker enhances their communication abilities (90.4%), strengthens connections with community health center staff (84.8%), boosts self-confidence (84.6%), and refines their capacity to identify signs of mental disorders (77%). Most notably, they consider their fellow community health workers essential to their extended family. Furthermore, a notable proportion associates' mental illness with religious elements, with 19.5% believing it can result from a lack of religious worship and a minority attributing it to witchcraft or black magic (3.5%). In terms of treatment, 14.2% think Ruqyah can cure mental illness, 6.4% believe in treatment by religious scholars, and a similar percentage (6.4%) think no medication or treatment is necessary for mental problems. Participants overwhelmingly recognize the positive impact of serving as community health workers, citing improvements in communication, relationships with health center staff, self-confidence, and mental disorder identification. The strong bond among community health workers, likened to an extended family, emphasizes their collective importance. Additionally, the majority advocates for compassionate treatment of individuals with mental illness. These findings underscore the complex interplay of professional, communal, and cultural elements in addressing community mental health.

DISCUSSION OF THE MECHANISM OF THE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF PURE WATER IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE BJERRUM MODEL

An alternative mechanism of electrical conductivity and ionization of molecules in pure water is considered. Calculation of the temperature dependence for the activation energy of ionization of water molecules was carried out using data on the value of its ionic product. The calculated activation energies for the ionization and flow processes show the presence of a certain proportionality between them. This suggests that the ionization of water is caused by intermolecular forces rather than intramolecular forces. Accordingly, the electrical conductivity of water is associated with the appearance and movement in it of L and D defects of hydrogen bonds between water molecules, which have significant electrical pseudo charges and are considered in the Bjerrum model for ice. This work proposes a new interpretation of the mechanism of ionization (pseudoionization) of molecules and generation of L and D defects in water. Rotation is considered not for one, but for two of its molecules in opposite directions with partial compensation of their angular momentum, and the breaking of not three bonds for one molecule, but four bonds with neighbors for two molecules. Moreover, these four neighbors do not include molecules from water clusters that have stronger bonds, since neighboring molecules with weaker bonds can be found for the process of rotation activation. Accordingly, the exponential contribution made by molecules from water clusters is absent or small in the ionization activation energy. In this way, the activation energy for the flow, which occurs throughout the entire volume of the liquid and automatically includes molecules from clusters, differs from the activation energy of electrical conductivity, which occurs for individual molecules in chains of bonds. The presence of a maximum in the ionic product of water near 250 ⁰C can be explained by the rapid decrease in the lifetime of L and D defects with heating, which prevents the use of the standard equation for accurate calculation of the ionization activation energy above 100...200 ⁰C. However, the presence of this maximum contradicts the generally accepted model of proton hopping between neighboring hydronium and water molecules in the mechanism of its electrical conductivity.

Remarkably improved cycling stability of commercial micron-sized silicon enabled by a novel organic/inorganic hybrid binder

Silicon (Si) anode with ultra-high capacity and low cost are highly desirable for next-generation high-energy lithium-ion batteries, whereas suffers from severe volume change that causes rapid capacity decay upon lithiation/delithiation. The development of high-performance binders to alleviate volumetric expansion and maintain integrity of Si particles remains a significant challenge. Here, reported is a novel organic/inorganic hybrid binder composed of partial neutralized polyacrylic acid (PAAS) and sodium metaborate tetrahydrate (SMTH), which achieves in-situ crosslinking upon drying wafer electrodes. The robust crosslinked network structure with borate ester bonds is successfully attained, and can be modulated by changing the content of sodium metaborate. The strong covalent bond network endows the hybrid binder system with superior mechanical properties and powerful adhesion, which improve the contact and integrity of wafer silicon electrode by suppressing volume expansion and exfoliation, therefore facilitating Li-ion migration and enhancing electrochemical performance. The resulting commercial micro-silicon wafer electrode with PAAS/0.08SMTH binder remains a reversible specific capacity of 1670 mAh g−1 after 150 cycles at 300 mA g−1, largely superior to that prepared with the original PAAS binder because its reversible specific capacity was determined to be only 1046 mAh g−1 under identical conditions. The in-situ crosslinked 3D network structure provides a facile feasible way to improve the high-capacity anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

Jute textiles with enhanced interfacial bonding as reinforcement for cementitious composites

In fabric-cement composites, the limited impregnation of cementitious matrix products due to thick and twisted yarns leads to premature failure due to poor bonding strength. In addition, cellulosic textile reinforcements have many challenges about durability, appearance of voids at mortar-fiber interface, and rise of microcracks. Textile performances were evaluated in different conditions: coated with micro-silica powder, pretreated, and without any treatment. This study also assessed how textile weave structure and yarn geometry configuration affect the interactions of two different jute textiles (Close Weave Jute Fabric – CJF and Open Weave Jute Fabric - OJT) when used as reinforcement in mortar matrix. Textile characterization and composite analysis (by four-point bending tests, SEM/EDS, and physical tests) were conducted to assess the different textile reinforcements, the mechanical behavior of produced composites, and visual and chemical compounds analysis of the interfacial transition zone between textile and mortar matrix after silica coating. Micro silica powder coating was deemed necessary to address limited impregnation and to avoid telescope pull-off. Weave structure determined the difference between jute fabrics to reinforce mortar matrix, being only OJF (larger interstices in the weave structure) with micro silica coating allowed a better matrix interaction and stood out from the other textiles and achieved the best specific energy of all samples, (4.28 ± 0.91) kJ.m-2. Calcium and silicon inside the yarn interstices and textile-matrix interface indicate the formation of strong bonds by calcium-silicate-hydrate products. The silica coating treatment enhanced formation of strong bonds, which demonstrated future promise for natural fiber application.

Ether-Water Co-Solvent Electrolytes Enhanced Vanadium Oxide Cathode Cyclic Behaviors for Zinc Batteries.

Vanadium-based compounds are fantastic cathodes for aqueous zinc metal batteries due to the high specific capacity and excellent rate capability. Nevertheless, the practical application has been hampered by the dissolution of vanadium in traditional aqueous electrolytes owing to the strong polarity of water molecules. Herein, we propose a hybrid electrolyte made of Zn(ClO4)2 salt in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (G4) and H2O solvents to upgrade the cycle life of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery. The G4 jointly solvates with Zn2+ ions and replaces a portion of the H2O molecules in the Zn2+ solvation sheath. It forms a strong bond with H2O, reducing its activity, and significantly inhibiting vanadium dissolution and water-induced parasitic reaction. Consequently, the optimized electrolyte with H2O and G4 volume ratio of 5 : 5 enhances the cycling stability of Zn//K0.486V2O5 battery, enabling it to reach up to 600 cycles. In addition, the battery demonstrates a satisfactory reversible capacity of 475.7 mAh g-1 and excellent rate performance attributed to the moderate ionic conductivity (28.8 mS cm-1) of the hybrid electrolyte. Last but not least, in the optimized electrolyte, the symmetric Zn//Zn cells deliver a long cycling performance of 400 h, while the asymmetric Zn//Cu cells shows a high average coulombic efficiency of 97.4 %.

Influence of Ceramic Wastes as a Recycled Coarse Aggregate with Different Maximum Sizes on the Concrete

Background Natural raw resources needed for concrete construction are continuously being depleted as a result of infrastructure development that is increasing. As a result, waste material substitutes are highly favored because they adopt a sustainable strategy. Objective In this study, the possibility of substituting natural coarse aggregates with coarse aggregate made from ceramic wall tiles with three different maximum aggregate sizes (12.5, 19, and 25 mm) in three partial replacement levels of natural coarse aggregate by (25, 50, and 75%) was investigated. Methods Concrete's hardened density, compressive and splitting tensile strengths, ultrasonic pulse velocity, water absorption, and volume of permeable pores were all tested experimentally. Results Results indicated that with the increment of the maximum aggregate size, each of the hardened densities, the compressive and splitting tensile strengths and the rate of water absorption diminished while pulse velocity enhanced, regardless of the substitution rate of ceramic aggregate. However, for all maximum aggregate sizes, the mixture containing 25% ceramic coarse aggregate showed a small improvement in mechanical properties. Compared to the reference mixture, which had compressive strengths of 29.31, 38.73, and 47.13 MPa at 7, 28, and 90 days for the 12.5 mm maximum aggregate size, the improvement ratios were 8.9%, 3.7%, and 2.7% at 7, 28, and 90 days, respectively. Moreover, because of increased heterogeneity, internal bleeding, and the development of microcracks in the larger coarse aggregate sizes, concrete with lower ceramic coarse aggregate sizes has a stronger bond than that of the latter. Results also indicated that the mechanical performance of concrete mixtures having ceramic aggregate slightly improved with 25% ceramic coarse aggregate, then lowered in the mixtures with 50% and 75%, consecutively, at all ages. Concrete using ceramic aggregate displays a poor transition zone because of the improper binding between the paste and the coarse ceramic aggregate caused by the aggregate's porcelain texture. Additionally, the water absorption of concrete mixtures containing ceramic aggregate increased with the increase in the percentage of ceramic coarse aggregate. Conclusion The employing of ceramic waste aggregate was shown to contribute to sustainable development and a cleaner environment by producing sustainable concrete from the recycling of ceramic wastes. Each of the hardened density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and water absorption of concrete mixtures decreased and the pulse velocity enhanced as the maximum aggregate size increased. The mechanical properties decreased at all ages in the mixtures containing 50 and 75% of the aggregate, whereas they slightly increased in the mixture containing 25% of the aggregate.

Superhard and Superconducting Bilayer Borophene.

Two-dimensional superconductors, especially the covalent metals such as borophene, have received significant attention due to their new fundamental physics, as well as potential applications. Furthermore, the bilayer borophene has recently ignited interest due to its high stability and versatile properties. Here, the mechanical and superconducting properties of bilayer-δ6 borophene are explored by means of first-principles computations and anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg analytics. We find that the coexistence of strong covalent bonds and delocalized metallic bonds endows this structure with remarkable mechanical properties (maximum 2D-Young's modulus of ~570 N/m) and superconductivity with a critical temperature of ~20 K. Moreover, the superconducting critical temperature of this structure can be further boosted to ~46 K by applied strain, which is the highest value known among all borophenes or two-dimensional elemental materials.

Research on the Solid-Liquid Composite Casting Process of Incoloy825/P110 Steel Composite Pipe.

Bimetallic composites have a wide range of application prospects in various industries. Different bonding temperatures, as one of the influencing factors, directly affect the bonding effectiveness as well as the performance and application of the materials. Using metallurgical bonding techniques ensures a strong bond at the interface of bimetallic materials, resulting in high-quality composite pipe billets. This paper describes an Incoloy825/P110 steel bimetal composite material made by the solid-liquid composite method. By utilizing ProCAST 14.5 software for simulation and deriving theoretical formulas, an initial range of temperatures for bimetallic preparation has been tentatively determined. And this temperature range will be utilized for on-site experiments to prepare bimetallic samples. After the preparation process is completed, samples will be selected. The influence of the external mold temperature on the interface bonding of Incoloy825/P110 steel solid-liquid composite material is studied using an ultra-depth three-dimensional morphology microscope and a scanning electron microscope. Through research, the optimal preheating temperature range for the solid-liquid composite outer mold of Incoloy825/P110 bimetallic composite material has been determined. The casting temperature of the inner mold has a significant impact on the interface bonding of this bimetal composite material. As the casting temperature of the inner mold increases, the interface thickness gradually increases. At lower temperatures, the interface thickness is lower and the bonding is poorer. At higher temperatures, melting may occur, leading to coarse grains at the interface. When the temperatures of the inner and outer molds are within a certain range, a new phase appears at the interface. Indeed, it increases the strength of the interface bonding. Due to co-melting of the bimetal near the interface, element migration occurs, resulting in increased Ni and Cr content at the interface and enhanced corrosion resistance.

Metallic superhard CaB12 with novel waffle-like boron backbone

Combining features of complex bonding scheme and multifarious structures, metal borides have received extensive attention as appealing contenders for novel superhard materials with superior electrical conductivity. Based on first-principles calculations, we predicted a metallic superhard boride CaB12, consisted by a high-density B−B covalent sublattice arranged in waffle-like B32 clusters. This special B−B arrangement results in a hitherto maximum hardness value (Hvmax) of 50.1 GPa in binary metal borides. Since the Ca atoms provide electrons to the B32 cluster, it is beneficial to generating conductive channel in 3D boron network, playing a dominant role in conductivity for CaB12. Through the electronic regulation by substituting the alkaline atom at the Ca positions, a superconducting superhard compound Ca2KB36 (Tc = 16.9 K; Hv = 44.1 GPa) can be achieved. We then propose three strategies to design materials with superhard and excellent conductivity/superconductivity properties: (1) the strong average covalent bond strength; (2) the high density of covalent bonds; (3) with appropriate metal atoms to produce carriers. Our work provides innovative way to search for novel ultrahard compounds with favorable electrical conductivity/superconductivity.

Observation of negative surface and interface energies of quantum dots

Surface energy is a fundamental property of materials and is particularly important in describing nanomaterials where atoms or molecules at the surface constitute a large fraction of the material. Traditionally, surface energy is considered to be a positive quantity, where atoms or molecules at the surface are less thermodynamically stable than their counterparts in the interior of the material because they have fewer bonds or interactions at the surface. Using calorimetric methods, we show that the surface energy is negative in some prototypical colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots with organic ligand coatings. This implies that the surface atoms are more thermodynamically stable than those on the interior due to the strong bonds between these atoms and surfactant molecules, or ligands, that coat their surface. In addition, we extend this work to core/shell indium phosphide/zinc sulfide nanocrystals and show that the interfacial energy between these materials is highly thermodynamically favorable in spite of their large lattice mismatch. This work challenges many of the assumptions that have guided thinking about colloidal nanomaterial thermodynamics, investigates the fundamental stability of many technologically relevant colloidal nanomaterials, and paves the way for future experimental and theoretical work on nanocrystal thermodynamics.

Effects of Family Culture and Marital Decisions of the Business Owners on Access to Financing of Very Small Businesses

Purpose: This study seeks to examine the effects of family culture (presence during family meetings, assistance in important family events, and strong family bonds) as well as marital decisions (mutual participation, joint savings decisions, and joint ventures) on access to financing of very small businesses in the North West Region of Cameroon. Methods: The study used a series of exogenous and control variables adapted from the model of Gikonyo, Agwata, & Anyango (2011) who proposed a strategic model for quantitative research. Primary data were collected through convenient sampling from 293 very small business owners in each divisional headquarters of the North West Region of Cameroon. We used the multiple correspondence analysis to construct indexes for family culture, marital decisions as well as access to financing of very small businesses. The hypotheses of the study were then tested using the ordinary least square estimation technique. Results: The results obtained showed in aggregate, a positive and significant effect of family culture and marital decisions on access to financing. More precisely, the coefficients of presence during family meetings, assistance in important family events as well as strong family bonds are positive. These results were statistically significant at 1% level. Implications: This study has significant practical implications on the financial health of very small businesses in the context of developing countries like Cameroon in general and the North West Region of Cameroon in particular plagued by the crisis and COVID-19. The study therefore concluded that if very small business owners can improve on the respect of family cultures and can jointly decide on their financial actions with their spouses, they will have better access to financing, especially in developing countries like Cameroon and more particularly in the North West Region of the country.

Sisters Across the Gulf

This article explores the connections between Estonian and Finnish lesbian communities in the early 1990s, based on oral history interviews along with media and archival sources. The Estonian lesbian community formed very quickly in the spring and summer of 1990 and from the very start developed a strong bond with the Finnish lesbian community that then lasted for several years. We have interviewed both Finnish and Estonian lesbian women about the period to learn about the activities of this transnational network and the meaning it carried for its members. In our analysis, we focus on personal and social challenges and tensions, national differences and diverse identities and ways of living as a lesbian woman, but also on the fun and rewarding connections. Our study portrays the transnational network as an example of a relatively equal community, despite the stark economic differences, and addresses how the translocal connections formed as a natural, important and integral part of the development of both these communities.

‘For Those Who Like the Life Nothing Could Be Better’: The Games Mistress in 1920s Britain †

During the Edwardian period, women’s physical education colleges were graduating significant numbers of gymnastics and games teachers, the demand for whom had increased rapidly following an expansion in the playing of team sports in girls’ schools. Much of the subsequent development of women’s physical activity in the 1920s can be credited to the passion and commitment of these women, who were not only key role models within the school setting but who also coached and organised women’s sport at club, regional, and national level. Given that the education sector operated a ‘marriage bar’ until 1944, the critical juncture in their careers was the decision to marry or not, and several of these women decided to remain single. This, and the strong bonds they often formed with other practitioners, has resulted in a great deal of unsubstantiated speculation about their private lives. Combining evidence from a variety of primary sources, including newspapers, census returns, college records, literature, girls’ annuals, specialist periodicals, photographs, and local and family histories, this paper illuminates some of the biographies and experiences of these women and questions the stereotypical image of the games mistress as an unfulfilled spinster.

Rationally Designing the Supramolecular Interfaces of Nanoparticle Superlattices with Multivalent Polymers.

In supramolecular materials, multiple weak binding groups can act as a single collective unit when confined to a localized volume, thereby producing strong but dynamic bonds between material building blocks. This principle of multivalency provides a versatile means of controlling material assembly, as both the number and the type of supramolecular moieties become design handles to modulate the strength of intermolecular interactions. However, in materials with building blocks significantly larger than individual supramolecular moieties (e.g., polymer or nanoparticle scaffolds), the degree of multivalency is difficult to predict or control, as sufficiently large scaffolds inherently preclude separated supramolecular moieties from interacting. Because molecular models commonly used to examine supramolecular interactions are intrinsically unable to examine any trends or emergent behaviors that arise due to nanoscale scaffold geometry, our understanding of the thermodynamics of these massively multivalent systems remains limited. Here we address this challenge via the coassembly of polymer-grafted nanoparticles and multivalent polymers, systematically examining how multivalent scaffold size, shape, and spacing affect their collective thermodynamics. Investigating the interplay of polymer structure and supramolecular group stoichiometry reveals complicated but rationally describable trends that demonstrate how the supramolecular scaffold design can modulate the strength of multivalent interactions. This approach to self-assembled supramolecular materials thus allows for the manipulation of polymer-nanoparticle composites with controlled thermal stability, nanoparticle organization, and tailored meso- to microscopic structures. The sophisticated control of multivalent thermodynamics through precise modulation of the nanoscale scaffold geometry represents a significant advance in the ability to rationally design complex hierarchically structured materials via self-assembly.
