ABSTRACT: Nuclear fusion is a promising energy source. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor aims to study the feasibility of tokamak-type reactors and test technologies and materials for commercial use. One major challenge is developing materials for the reactor's divertor, which supports high thermal flux. Tungsten was chosen as the plasma-facing material, while a CuCrZr alloy will be used in t...
ABSTRACT: The search for advanced materials has been growing, and high entropy alloys (HEAs) are emerging as promising candidates for application in the fusion domain. This work investigates the effect of Cr on the FeTaTiW medium entropy alloy to form (CrFeTaTi)70W30 high entropy alloy, comparing the experimental production and characterization with the simulation (molecular dynamics and hybrid molecular dynami...

No âmbito da transição verde, são apresentados exemplos de aplicação de materiais não convencionais e renováveis e de técnicas de estabilização baseadas na...
Introduction: The global incidence of sickle cell disease (SCD) is approximately 300.000 births per year, and the condition is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric age. This study aimed to describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of children up to five years of age with SCD in a Portuguese center. Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective study of children aged ...
A new molecular thermometric sensor based on the terbium(III) complex [C2mim][Tb(fod)4] (C2mim – 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium, fod− - tetrakis-6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionate), doped with 0.015% of its europium(III) analogue (1, [C2mim][Tb(fod)4]0.99985:[C2mim][Eu(fod)4]0.00015), was prepared and its thermochromic behaviour evaluated from ambient temperature up to 75 °C, including in the...
A series of nine tetrakis lanthanide β-diketonate complexes of the type [C2mim][Ln(fod)4] (C2mim = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium, fod = 6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionate) were prepared, with yields above 80%, and their thermochemical, photophysical and magnetic susceptibilities were evaluated. Thermochemical studies presented a rare and reversible conversion between two solid phases (polymo...
Three new crystalline metal-organic frameworks have been prepared from the reaction of uranyl nitrate with nitrilotris(methylphosphonic acid) [H(6)nmp, N(CH2PO3H2)(3)], 1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)diphosphonic acid [H(4)pmd, C6H4(PO3H2)(2)], and (benzene-1,3,5-triyltris(methylene))triphosphonic acid [H(6)bmt, C6H3(PO3H2)(3)]. Compound [(UO2)(2)F(H(3)nmp)(H2O)]center dot 4H(2)O (I) crystallizes in space group C2/...
The catalytic performance of the complexes [MoO2Cl2(L)2][L = N,N-dimethylformamide (dmf), N,N-dimethylacetamide(dma), N,N-dimethylpropionamide (dmpa), N,N-diethylformamide(def) and N,N-diphenylformamide (dpf)] was examined in the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide(tbhp) at 55 °C and in the absence of a cosolvent.The complexes showed high turnover frequencies in the range of 561–577 mol...
A mesoporous silica-supported molybdenum oxide catalyst with a loading of 0.17Mo/nm2 was prepared by liquid phase deposition ofMoO2Cl2(dmf)2 (1) onto MCM-41 (dmf = dimethylformamide). Powder X-ray diffraction and N2 adsorption studies of Mo-MCM-41 indicate that the texture properties of the support were preserved during the grafting experiment. On the basis of evidence from FTIR spectroscopy, 13C and 29Si MAS N...
