Photodissociation of the [EMIM][BF4] ionic liquid vapors following excitation with light in the vacuum ultraviolet region was studied at different liquid temperatures.
A technique of preparing microtube shape oxide structures by metal alkoxide gel sheet rolling is presented and discussed. Zr(OBu)4 and Hf(OBu)4 precursors have been used for self‐formation of ZrO2 and HfO2 microrolls. The technique involves gelling the surface of concentrated sol, partition of gel film into segments by gel cracking and spontaneous rolling of obtained gel film segments. A phenomenological study of crack evolution in gel films has been conducted. The dependence of the thickness of formed gel film and rolling diameter on hydrolysis extent of metal alkoxide precursor and reaction time is reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
