Combined computational and experimental investigation of the La-Cu-S-O quaternary system
Hua He, Chuck-Hou Yee, Daniel E. McNally +11
The lack of a mechanistic framework for chemical reactions forming inorganic extended solids presents a challenge to accelerated materials discovery. We demonstrate here a combined…
Synthesis and acid resistance of maya blue pigment
Manolo Sanchez Del Rio, Pauline Martinetto, C. Reyes-Valerio +2
Maya blue is an organo-clay artificial pigment composed of indigo and palygorskite. It was invented and frequently used in Mesoamerica in ancient times (eighth to 16th centuries).…
Association of indigo with zeolites for improved colour stabilization
Catherine Dejoie, Pauline Martinetto, Eric Dooryhee +6
The durability of an organic colour and its resistance against external chemical agents and exposure to light can be significantly enhanced by hybridizing the natural dye with a mi…
Multi-element Germanium Detectors for Synchrotron Applications
Abdul K. Rumaiz, Anthony J. Kuczewski, Joseph Mead +14
We have developed a series of monolithic multi-element germanium detectors, based on sensor arrays produced by the Forschungzentrum Julich, and on Application-specific integrated c…
Revisiting Maya Blue and Designing Hybrid Pigments by Archaeomimetism
Catherine Dejoie, Eric Dooryhee, Pauline Martinetto +9
Maya Blue is actually one of the best known examples of an organic-inorganic hybrid material. Yet despite 50 years of sustained interest, its microscopic structure and its relation…
Diffusion Of Indigo Molecules Inside The Palygorskite Clay Channels
Catherine Dejoie, Pauline Martinetto, Eric Dooryhee +6
The search for durable dyes led several past civilizations to develop artificial pigments. Maya Blue (MB), manufactured in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, is one of the best known examp…
