Strain-induced band gap shifts that depend strongly on the chiral angle have been observed by optical spectroscopy in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Uniaxial and torsional strains are generated by changing the environment surrounding the SWCNTs, using the surrounding D2O ice temperature or the hydration stat…

The morphology and growth behavior of naphthalene, anthracene, and tetracene is studied both experimentally and by computer simulations. We will show that the attachment energy morphology prediction for all compounds gives approximately the correct habit, but that this is merely coincidental. Our Monte Carlo simulatio…

The electronic structure and the magnetic properties of (Zn,Cr)S, (Zn,Cr)Se and (Zn,Cr)Te are calculated by using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method combined with the coherent potential approximation (KKR-CPA) within the local density approximation. Curie temperatures are calculated by the mean field approximation (MFA…

During attempts to fabricate ZnO nanowires, we accidentally observed the growth of SiO x nanowires on Au-coated Si substrate. Detailed characterizations on the resulting nanowires were carried out by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, transmission electron microscopy, selective…

Most currently evaluated macromolecular contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are not biodegradable. The goal of this study is to synthesize and characterize poly(l-glutamic acid) (PG) gadolinium chelates as biodegradable blood-pool MRI contrast agents. Two PG chelates of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepe…

Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) gives very extensive degradation when treated with peroxides above its melting temperature in mechanical mixers or extruders. This undesired reaction is very modestly affected by maleate molecules which on the contrary actively compete with side reactions of macroradicals in the case of e…

Abstract The melt mixing technique was used to prepare various polypropylene (PP)‐based (nano)composites. Two commercial organoclays (denoted 20A and 30B) served as the fillers for the PP matrix, and two different maleated (so‐called) compatibilizers (denoted PP‐MA and SMA) were employed as the third component. The re…

Molecular dynamics computer simulations have been carried out of a chemically realistic many-chain nonentangled model of glassy atactic polystyrene under the influence of uniaxial mechanical deformation. Both the initial elastic and the postyield (up to 100% of the deformation) behavior have been simulated. The Poisso…

Uniform, hierarchically porous inorganic beads (SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, TiO 2, and ZrO 2 ) have been produced using emulsion-templated polymer beads as templates. The polymer scaffolds were prepared by oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) sedimentation polymerization (Zhang, H.; Cooper, A. I. Chem. Mater. 2002, 14, 4017). The inorgan…
