In recent years the fields of medicine and biology assist to an ever-growing innovation related to the development of nanotechnologies. In the pharmaceutical domain, for example, liposomes, polymer based micro and nanoparticles have been subjects of intense research and development during the last three decades. In th…
The interlayer configuration proposed by Moore and Reynolds ( X-ray Diffraction and the Identification and Analysis of Clay Minerals; Oxford University Press: New York, 1997) and commonly used to reproduce the 00 l reflections of bi-hydrated smectite is shown to be inconsistent with experimental X-ray diffraction data…
Pitting corrosion and structure characteristics of carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion products on N80, 1Cr, and 4Cr steel were studied. The results indicated that Cr-containing steels can suppress pitting corrosion effectively. While the Cr content in the matrix reached 4%, no pitting corrosion appeared on 4Cr steel. Cr e…
Density functional calculations of the electronic structure are used to elucidate the bonding of . It is found that this material is best described as ionic, and in particular that the units are not reasonably viewed as substantially covalent.
The synthesis and characterization of a series of primary and secondary alcohol adducts of 1,3-dimesitylimidazolin-2-ylidene is described. These adducts are stable as solids at room temperature, but readily release alcohol and the free carbene in solution. These alcohol adducts function as excellent single-component c…
Abstract An extensive experimental program of shaking table tests on reduced‐scale structural models was carried out within the activities of the MANSIDE project, for the development of new seismic isolation and energy dissipation devices based on shape memory alloys (SMAs). The aim of the experimental program was to…
In this review, we show that chemical reduction in colloidal assemblies favors the formation of size- and shape-controlled metallic nanoparticles. The key parameters that make possible the size control of spherical nanoparticles produced in spherical reverse micelles are the degree of hydration of the reactants, the d…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed on a dense polymer melt adsorbed on a solid substrate on the one side and exposed to vacuum on the other. As a model system, a thin film of polyethylene (PE) melt supported by a crystalline graphite phase on its one side (the other surface of the film is free) ha…
Abstract Since the mid‐1990s, surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has advanced greatly and gained wider application and a renewal of interest. There have been several new and creative developments, e.g. SERS of single molecules, nanostructures and transition metals, tip‐enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), surface‐e…
A series of four asymmetrically aryl-substituted 9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene (SSF) derivatives, 2,2'-di-tert-butyl-7,7'-diphenyl-9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene (PhSSF), 2,2'-di-tert-butyl-7,7'-dipyridin-2-yl-9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene (PySSF), 2,2'-di-tert-butyl-7,7'-dibiphenyl-4-yl-9,9'-spiro-9-silabifluorene (BPhSSF),…
We present SEM images of films thermally evaporated onto Anodic Aluminum Oxide substrates that are patterned with a hexagonal array of 34 and 80 nm diameter holes spaced by 100 nm. Over a range of film thicknesses, Pb and Sn films spontaneously self assemble into an array of nano-crystals in registry with the underlyi…
The layer-by-layer growth of multilayer assemblies of two polysaccharides, the polyanion hyaluronan (HA) and the polycation chitosan (CH), was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy, with primary emphasis on the effect of the polysaccharide molecular weights o…
Recent research has shown that the wavelet transform (WT) can potentially be used to extract partial discharge (PD) pulses from severe noise. However, the method is more complex than the Fourier transform (FT), and requires expertise and experience to be applied to produce its best effect. The authors have previously…
An atomistic modeling approach is presented for simulating the interface between a polymer melt and a crystalline solid substrate. As a test case, a thin film of polyethylene (PE) melt confined between a semiinfinite graphite phase on the one side and vacuum on the other is considered. The simulation is carried out in…

Abstract This report constitutes an introductory report of interest to the standardization community on the advances made in the atomic and molecular nanotechnology regarding the ability to systematically organize and manipulate properties and behaviors of matter at the atomic and molecular levels. Basics of nanotechn…
We show that the dissociation probability of O2 on the reconstructed, Au111-herringbone surface is dramatically increased by the presence of some atomic oxygen on the surface. Specifically, at 400 K the dissociation probability of O2 on oxygen precovered Au111 is on the order of 10(-3), whereas there is no measurable…
Abstract We present recent development and applications of a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology for use in medical diagnostics and biological imaging. For medical diagnostics, we use Raman‐active dye‐labeled DNA gene probes and nanostructured metallic substrates as SERS‐active platforms. The surface‐e…
A series of highly extensive quinoidal oligothiophenes carrying a dicyanomethylene group at both terminal positions is synthesized. As the quinoidal structures extend, they have highly amphoteric abilities and show strong electronic absorptions in the visible to near-infrared region. The higher homologues, quinquethio…
Properties of the perovskite ferroelectrics Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT), K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (KBT) and their solid solutions are reviewed. Consideration of the NBT behavior draws attention to phenomena of the ion ordering, coexistence of several phase regions within a crystal lattice, phase transition diffusion and to a quite new…
