Synthesis, Characterization, and Catalytic Activity of Pd(II) Salen-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica by Rotcharin Sawisai, Ratchaneekorn Wanchanthuek, Widchaya Radchatawedchakoon, Uthai Sakee

“…The solid catalysts showed higher activity for the hydroamination of C-(tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)allene with aromatic amines compared with the corresponding homogenous catalyst. The heterogeneous catalytic system can be easily recovered by simple filtration and reused for up to five cycles with no significant loss of catalytic activity.…”

Reinforcing Effect of Carbon Nanotubes/Surfactant Dispersions in Portland Cement Pastes by Oscar A. Mendoza Reales, Caterin Ocampo, Yhan Paul Arias Jaramillo, Juan Carlos Ochoa Botero, Jorge Hernán Quintero, Emílio C. C. M. Silva, Romildo Dias Toledo Filho

“…Cement pastes with carbon nanotubes additions of 0.15% by mass of cement were produced in two steps: first, the MWCNT/surfactant dispersions were combined with the mixing water, and then, cement was added and mixed until a homogeneous paste was obtained. Mechanical properties of the pastes cured at 7 days were measured, and their fracture behavior was characterized using the linear elastic finite element analysis. …”
