A novel multiple shape memory hydrogel is fabricated based on two reversible physical interactions. The multiple shape memory property is endowed by a simple treatment of soaking in NaOH or NaCl solutions to form chitosan microcrystal or chain-entanglement crosslinks as temporary junctions.
Understanding the origin of magnetic anisotropy and having the ability to tune it are essential needs of the rapidly developing field of molecular magnetism. Such attempts at determining the origin of magnetic anisotropy and its tuning are still relatively infrequent. One candidate for such attempts are mononuclear Co…
Cryorolling is a severe plastic deformation (SPD) process used to obtain ultrafine-grained aluminum alloy sheets along with higher strength and hardness than in conventional cold rolling, but it results in poor formability. An alternative method to improve both strength and formability of cryorolled sheets by warm for…
A microwave (MW) treatment of plantation eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urophylla) wood was investigated by applying MW treatments with varying conditions, such as radiation power, irradiation time, and initial moisture content of the wood. The wood permeability and drying properties were investigated. Results show that the p…
Gold (Au)-doped-textured silicon (Si) material with a thermostable absorption below bandgap (>50%) is obtained by femtosecond laser irradiation. Although the concentration of Au impurity (1019cm-3) in textured Si is at least four orders of magnitude greater than the solid solubility of Au in crystalline Si, the sheet…
Metallic nanostructures that exhibit tailored optical resonances spanning from the near to mid-infrared spectral range are of particular interest for spectroscopic and optical measurements in these spectral domains that can benefit from localized surface-enhancement effects. Plasmon resonances shifted in the near or m…
In this work, the rheological, mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)‐polypropylene (PP) composites prepared in the molten state were investigated. All samples contained a maleated PP used as combatibilizer. Degradation of the PP in the presence of CNCs at high processing temp…
Proprotein convertases (PCs) represent highly selective serine proteases that activate their substrates upon proteolytic cleavage. Their inhibition is a promising strategy for the treatment of several pathologies including cancer, atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolaemia, and infectious diseases. Here, we present the fi…
Vertically aligned nanocomposites (VAN) thin films present as an intriguing material family for achieving novel functionalities. However, most of the VAN structures tend to grow in a random fashion, hindering the future integration in nanoscale devices. Previous efforts for achieving ordered nanopillar structures have…
Carbon-based three-dimensional aerographite networks, built from interconnected hollow tubular tetrapods of multilayer graphene, are ultra-lightweight materials recently discovered and ideal for advanced multifunctional applications. In order to predict the bulk mechanical behaviour of networks it is very important to…
Cancer has been the most deleterious disease since few decades and its prevalence is increasing day by day. Scientists have developed many novel carrier systems to modify the delivery of anticancer drugs specifically toward the cancer sites. Liposomes seemed to be the particles of choice to carry anticancer drugs owin…
A facile method to synthesize shape-shifting patchy particles on the colloidal scale is described. The design is based on the solvent-induced shifting of the patch shape between concave and convex features. The initial concave patchy particles were synthesized in a water suspension by a swelling-induced buckling proce…
Fabricated three-dimensional (3D) upconversion nanoclusters (abbreviated as EBSUCNPs) are obtained via an emulsion-based bottom-up self-assembly of NaGdF 4:Yb/Er@NaGdF 4 nanoparticles (abbreviated as UCNPs), which comprise a NaGdF 4:Yb/Er core and a NaGdF 4 shell. The EBSUCNPs were then coated with a thin mesoporous a…
Owing to the difficulty in comprehensively characterizing nanocrystal (NC) surfaces, clear guidance for ligand design is lacking. In this work, a series of bidentate bis(pyridine) anthracene isomers (2,3-PyAn, 3,3-PyAn, 2,2-PyAn) that differ in their binding geometries were designed to find the best complementary fit…
Semiconductor photocatalysis has emerged as an efficient and sustainable advanced oxidation process for wastewater treatment and other environmental remediation and forms the basis for water splitting and solar-to-fuel conversion. Nanocrystalline metal oxides are particularly promising photocatalysts because of their…
The research area “Cryogenic Treatment of Materials” has been the subject of a multitude of research studies and therefore needs a proper review article to highlight the present state of understanding and to define the future research direction. Though reviews on cryogenic processing of tool steels are available, ther…
Abstract Magnesium (Mg) is a lightweight metal with applications in transportation and sustainable battery technologies, but its current production through ore reduction using the conventional Pidgeon process emits large amounts of CO 2 and particulate matter (PM2.5). In this work, a novel Pidgeon process driven by mi…
Time-modulated helium (He) ion energy (e.g. V Bias = −50 + 25·sin(2 πf RF · t ), f RF = 13.56 MHz) is demonstrated to strongly affect the development of tungsten (W) surface morphology that results from He plasma irradiation in the DIONISOS linear plasma experiment. Nano-tendril bundles (NTBs), which appear as isolate…
As an effective platform to exploit triplet-triplet-annihilation-based photon upconversion (TTA-UC), microcapsules composed of a fluidic UC core and photonic shell are microfluidically prepared using a triple emulsion as the template. The photonic shell consists of cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) with a periodic he…
A new family of quaternary diamond-like semiconductors (DLSs), Li2HgMS4 (M = Si, Ge, Sn), were successfully discovered for the first time. All of them are isostructural and crystallize in the polar space group (Pmn21). Seen from their structures, they exhibit a three-dimensional (3D) framework structure that is compos…
