Photobleaching of fluorophores is one of the key problems in fluorescence microscopy. Overcoming the limitation of the maximum number of photons, which can be detected from a single emitter, would allow one to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and thus the temporal and spatial resolution in fluorescence imaging. It wo…
ABSTRACT Two kinds of flexible chain polymer, poly(ethylene oxide‐ co ‐tetrahydrofuran) (P(EO ‐co‐ THF)) and polyalkylene oxide (PAO), were chosen to improve the mechanical properties of the network of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP)–based elastomers. The mechanical properties of the GAP binder system at 25 and −40 °C ca…
This paper describes a strategy that uses template-directed self-assembly of micrometer-scale microspheres to fabricate arrays of microlenses for projection photolithography of periodic, quasiperiodic, and aperiodic infrared metasurfaces. This method of "template-encoded microlens projection lithography" (TEMPL) enabl…
The interfacial tension between immiscible fluids is responsible for a wealth of every-day phenomena, from the spherical shape of small drops and bubbles to the ability to walk on water of many insects. More than a century ago, physicist and mathematician D. Korteweg postulated the existence of an effective interface…
The plasmonic properties of metallic nanoparticles typically depend strongly on their shapes and local environment. However, not much is known about the shape effects on the plasmonic response in small metallic nanoparticles when quantum size effects become important. In this work, we use atomistic electrodynamics mod…
Nucleic-acid-based biosensors have enabled rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic targets; however, these devices often require purified nucleic acids for analysis since the constituents of complex biological fluids adversely affect sensor performance. This purification step is typically performed outside the dev…
The introduction of metal-chelating ligands to the food-contact surface of packaging materials may enable the removal of synthetic chelators (e.g., ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA)) from food products. In this study, the metal-chelating ligand iminodiacetate (IDA) was covalently grafted onto polypropylene surf…
We explore the gold functionalization of 2D CdSe nanoplatelets (NPL) as a possible way to tune their electronic and transport properties. We demonstrate that the size and location of the gold tip can be controlled using light and temperature. The Au tip–CdSe NPL hybrid presents a large rise of the conductance compared…
The advancement of computational tools for material property predictions enables a broad search of novel materials for various energy-related applications. However, challenges still exist in accurately predicting the mean free paths of electrons and phonons in a high-throughput frame for thermoelectric property predic…
Abstract BiFe 1− x Cu x O 3 ( x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple solution method. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method analysis using the Barret–Joyner–Halenda (BJH…
The application of thermomorphic solvent systems offers the combination of homogeneous catalysis in a single phase and catalyst recovery via phase separation. To increase economic feasibility the minimization of waste streams and side reactions is desired. For this, a continuous process for the hydroformylation of 1‐d…
Twelve symmetrical dimeric materials consisting of a nonamethylene (C9) spacer and either phenyl 4-(4'-alkylphenyl)benzoate, phenyl 4-(4'-alkylcyclohexyl)benzoate or phenyl 4-(4'-alkylbicyclohexyl)carboxylate mesogenic units were prepared and their mesogenic behaviour characterised by POM, DSC and XRD. All of the mate…
Molecular dynamics simulations, conventional and metadynamics, were performed to determine the interaction of model protein Gb1 over kaolinite (001), Na(+)-montmorillonite (001), Ca(2+)-montmorillonite (001), goethite (100), and Na(+)-birnessite (001) mineral surfaces. Gb1, a small (56 residue) protein with a well-cha…
Electronic textiles are an emerging field providing novel and non-intrusive solutions for healthcare. Conducting polymer-coated textiles enable a new generation of fully organic surface electrodes for electrophysiological evaluations. Textile electrodes are able to assess high quality muscular monitoring and to perfor…
Nowadays most of the automobiles use magnesium alloys in the components of the engine coolant systems. These engine coolants used are mainly composed of aqueous ethylene glycol along with some inhibitors. Generally the engine coolants are contaminated by environmental anions like chlorides, which would enhance the rat…
The ability to rearrange microstructures and self-stiffen in response to dynamic external mechanical stimuli is critical for biological tissues to adapt to the environment. While for most synthetic materials, subjecting to repeated mechanical stress lower than their yield point would lead to structural failure. Here,…
The understanding of the structure–activity relationship can help us design desired functional materials. SiO 2 shell is widely used as a physicochemical inert layer to protect materials from corrosion or oxidization. But, in electromagnetic (EM) absorption studies, silica shell, supposed to be EM transparent, has bee…
Hydrothermal synthesis is commonly used to produce a large area of ZnO nanowires because of its simple and inexpensive process. However, the mechanism of hydrothermal synthesis remains unknown. In this work, zinc acetate and HMTA dissolved in deionized water as a precursor solution were sealed in a liquid cell for obs…
The scalable synthesis of highly transparent and robust sub‐monolayers of Co 3 O 4 nano‐islands, which efficiently catalyze water oxidation, is reported. Rapid aerosol deposition of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles and thermally induced self‐organization lead to an ultra‐fine nano‐island morphology with more than 94% light tran…
This contribution presents a sol–gel based cluster encapsulation methodology to produce bifunctional patchy particles. The particles possess azide moieties on the surfaces of the patch and carboxylic acids on the shell. Two types of DNA with distinct terminal sequences are site-specifically conjugated to the particle…
