Summary of the technology
a) SUBSTITUTED POLYAROMATICS to be used as building blocks in the preparation of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of graphene quantum dots (GQDs).
b) WELL-DEFINED NANOSIZED GRAPHENES obtained by solution chemistry: homogeneous, different sizes, peripheries and substitution.
Description of the technology
We offer:
SUBSTITUTED POLYAROMATICSto be used as building blocks in the preparation of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). These designed monomers have shown to be useful for the on-surface preparation of GNRs with diverse widths and lengths.

Method for producing nanocorundumResearchers from Geology Department of University of Valencia have developed a novel method for producing corundum of low crystallinity (nanocorundum) using natural or synthetic commodities in solid state, without pre-treatment. The process of the invention makes it possible to obtain a product with a nanocrystalline nature, composed of tabular- or plate-shaped primary nanoparticles in porous microcrystalline aggregates, which facilitates the subsequent disaggregation process thereof into powders that have an immediate application as ultra-fine abrasives and as loads (or fillers) in plastics or other types of materials. This characteristic represents a significant advantage of the product of the invention, since compact corundum is a hard, difficult-to-grind material.Universitat de València posted this:

Micromechanical dry exfoliation deviceThe main advantages provided by the invention are: Versatility: the method is applicable to any layered material and on any type of substrate. Simplicity: the method consists in a dry exfoliation without adhesive materials. Quality and reproducibility: the exfoliation is clean (no trace of adhesive), reproducible and it does not produce defects in the substrate. Efficiency: it is possible to deposit a high density of atomically thin layers of the material. Control: it is possible to control the pressure exerted, allowing for a fine-tuning of the deposition conditions depending on the nature of the layered material manipulated.Universitat de València posted this:
Software for atmospheric gases compensation in infrared spectra• Easy to use: a blank spectrum with water vapor, CO2 and other interfering vapours has to be obtained under the same measurement conditions as those employed for the acquisition of the spectra to be corrected, straightforward selection of relative absorbance values • Fast: very fast computation as the algorithm is not complex • Universal: the compensation method can be applied in a vast amount of situations (different samples and sampling devices, different measurement conditions). Compensation of other gases different to H2O and CO2. • This method do not use spectra smoothing, avoiding distortion of infrared bands from the analytes. • Improvement of the results obtained employing commercially available software tool.
