Part of the OPHS-ND material was also subjected to drying and rewetting (OPHS-D).
This stress-induced flow of the Nd-rich material up through the film explains the excellent distribution of the Nd-rich grain boundary phase.
Repeated analyses of an Nd isotopic reference material JNdi-1 with Nd sample sizes of 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.1 ng all yielded consistent 143Nd/144Nd values with external precisions of 42, 62, 93, and 184 ppm (2RSD), respectively.
NA, not analysed due to lack of material; ND, copy number could not be determined due to very low PaB6 contents.
Since CNTs and C60 can enhance the thermal stability and flame retardancy of polymer materials, thus ND, as their homogeneous carbon material, should also exhibit this capability.
One of the newly emerging carbon materials, nanodiamond (ND), has been exploited for use in traditional electric materials and this has extended into biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
The NCC-OPHS-ND and OPHS-D substrates were made from the same material, OPHS-ND, and thus had similar SSA before hydrolysis, 92 and 94 m g−1 (Table 2), respectively, which suggests that the observed difference in conversion between these two substrates is dominated by effects related to pore size/enzyme accessibility.
Thus, these natural minerals may be considered as isotopically homogeneous reference materials for Nd isotopic determinations.
EM, electron microscopy; ND, not done; NA, materials not available.
The NCC-OPHS-ND sample was the material remaining after acid hydrolysis.
A higher dispersion of Pt nanoparticles was observed on ND/G compared to pristine NDs and the material showed better catalytic activity and greater stability for methanol electro-oxidation than Pt/ND.
