    Self-propelled micromotors for cleaning polluted water
    (Washington, DC : ACS, 2013) Soler, L.; Magdanz, V.; Fomin, V.M.; Sanchez, S.; Schmidt, O.G.
    We describe the use of catalytically self-propelled microjets (dubbed micromotors) for degrading organic pollutants in water via the Fenton oxidation process. The tubular micromotors are composed of rolled-up functional nanomembranes consisting of Fe/Pt bilayers. The micromotors contain double functionality within their architecture, i.e., the inner Pt for the self-propulsion and the outer Fe for the in situ generation of ferrous ions boosting the remediation of contaminated water.The degradation of organic pollutants takes place in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, which acts as a reagent for the Fenton reaction and as main fuel to propel the micromotors. Factors influencing the efficiency of the Fenton oxidation process, including thickness of the Fe layer, pH, and concentration of hydrogen peroxide, are investigated. The ability of these catalytically self-propelled micromotors to improve intermixing in liquids results in the removal of organic pollutants ca. 12 times faster than when the Fenton oxidation process is carried out without catalytically active micromotors. The enhanced reaction-diffusion provided by micromotors has been theoretically modeled. The synergy between the internal and external functionalities of the micromotors, without the need of further functionalization, results into an enhanced degradation of nonbiodegradable and dangerous organic pollutants at small-scale environments and holds considerable promise for the remediation of contaminated water.

    Di-μ-sulfido-bis{[rac-1,2-bis(η5-4,5,6, 7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)ethane]zirconium(IV)} toluene monosolvate
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2012) Haehnel, M.; Altenburger, K.; Spannenberg, A.; Arndt, P.; Rosenthal, U.
    The title dimeric zirconium complex, [Zr3(C20H 24)2S2]·C7H8, was obtained from the reaction of (ebthi)Zr(η2-Me3Si-C2-SiMe3) [ebthi is rac-1,2-bis(η5-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroinden-1-yl)ethane] and S=C=N-ada (ada = adamantan-1-yl) along with the formation of the isonitrile C N-ada. Each ZrIV atom is coordinated by the sterically hindered ebthi ligand and two μ-sulfide ligands in a strongly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The [ZrS]2 unit is almost planar (mean deviation from the best plane of the four atoms = 0.025Å). A -CH2-CH2- group in one ebthi ligand was disordered over two sites, with refined occupancy factors of 0.551(6) and 0.449(6). The asymmetric unit also contains a toluene solvent molecule.

    Surviving the surf: The tribomechanical properties of the periostracum of Mytilus sp
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2014) Wählisch, Felix C.; Peter, Nicolas J.; Torrents Abad, Oscar; Oliveira, Mariana V.G.; Schneider, Andreas S.; Schmahl, Wolfgang; Griesshaber, Erika; Bennewitz, Roland
    We investigated the friction and wear behavior as well as the mechanical properties of the periostracum of Mytilus sp. Tribological properties were determined with a reciprocal sliding microtribometer, while mechanical characterization was performed using a nanoindenter. Measurements were performed in dry and wet conditions. On the dry periostracum we found a low friction coefficient of 0.078 ± 0.007 on the young parts and a higher one of 0.63 ± 0.02 on the old parts of the shell. Under wet, saline, conditions we only observed one average coefficient of friction of 0.37 ± 0.01. Microscopic ex situ analysis indicated that dry periostracum wore rather rapidly by plowing and fatigue, while it exhibited a high wear resistance when immersed in salt water. The Young’s modulus and hardness of the periostracum were also investigated in both dry and wet conditions. Under dry conditions the Young’s modulus of the periostracum was 8 ± 3 GPa, while under wet conditions it was 0.21 ± 0.05 GPa. The hardness of dry periostracum samples was 353 ± 127 MPa, whereas the hardness of wet samples was 5 ± 2 MPa. It was found that, in the wet state, viscous behavior plays a significant role in the mechanical response of the periostracum. Our results strongly indicate that the periostracum can provide an important contribution to the overall wear resistance of Mytilus sp. shell.
