In this work, we consider two issues related to the use of Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (SDPD) as an intermediate mesoscale model in a multiscale scheme for solution of flow problems when there are local parts of a macroscopic domain that require molecular resolution. The first is to demonstrate that SDPD wi…

Despite the importance of diatoms in regulating climate and the existence of large opal-containing sediments in key air-ocean exchange areas, most geochemical proxy records are based on carbonates. Among them, Boron (B) content and isotopic composition have been widely used to reconstruct pH from foraminifera and cora…

Abstract In this research, a new direction for functionalizing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) via the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method was utilized. SWCNTs were grafted with polystyrene (PSt) by the in situ ATRP method, in the presence of α-phenyl chloro acetylated SWCNT. This functional…

A simple and rapid process for deposition of high refractive index films of ZnS/PVP nanocomposite (NC) is described. Precursor films are dip-coated on glass/quartz substrates from methanolic solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) containing Zn+2–thiourea (TU) complex. ZnS/PVP nanocomposite films are produced by heatin…

1-3 ceramic/polymer composites based on high Curie temperature ferroelectric ceramic BiScO3–PbTiO3 (BSPT) were fabricated using the dice and fill method. The electromechanical coupling factor kt of BSPT composite was found to be 58% at room temperature, higher than the thickness coupling factor of monolithic BSPT ∼50%…

We review the way in which atomic tetrahedra composed of metallic elements pack naturally into fused icosahedra. Orthorhombic, hexagonal, and cubic intermetallic crystals based on this packing are all shown to be united in having pseudo-fivefold rotational diffraction symmetry. A unified geometric model involving the…

We report on the tuning of specific binding of DNA attached to gold nanoparticles at the individual particle pair (dimer) level in an optical trap by means of plasmonic heating. DNA hybridization events are detected optically by the change in the plasmon resonance frequency due to plasmonic coupling of the nanoparticl…

Uniaxially anisotropic chitin-silica nanocomposite solids have been obtained thanks to the electric field-induced macroscopic alignment of liquid-crystalline reactive cosuspensions. We demonstrate how chitin nanorods (260 nm long, 23 nm thick) can be aligned upon the application of an alternating current (ac) electric…

Particle get-together: Surface functionalization with a branched copolymer surfactant is used to create responsive inorganic particles that can self-assemble in complex structures. The assembly process is triggered by a pH switch that reversibly activates multiple hydrogen bonds between ceramic particles (see picture;…
