Space-born optical systems must be tolerant to radiation to guarantee that the required system performance is maintained during prolonged mission times. The radiation-induced absorption in optical glasses is often related with the presence of impurities, which are, intentionally or not, introduced during the manufactu…
Plasma polymerization is a versatile and important technique for depositing uniform, pinhole-free and flawless thin films of organic materials. So plasma-polymerized N , N ,3,5-tetramethylaniline (PPTMA) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates at room temperature by a capacitively coupled plasma polymerization…
We report results of low temperature thermodynamic and transport measurements of Pb<sub>1-x</sub>Tl<sub>x</sub>Te single crystals for Tl concentrations up to the solubility limit of approximately 1.5 %. The material superconducts for x > 0.3 %, with a maximum <i>T<sub>c</sub></i> of 1.5 K for the highest Tl concentrat…
Silicone based materials have attracted considerable attention from Light Emitting Diode (LED) manufacturers for use as encapsulants and lenses for many next generation LED device designs. Silicones can function in several roles that include protective lenses, stress relieving encapsulants, mechanical protection and l…
Anatase particles (40-60 nm) were coated with an organosilane monolayer terminated with an ethylenediamine (EDA) ligand. These functionalized nanoparticles (FNPs) were then treated with an aqueous solution of Cu(II) to create a cationic Cu-EDA complex bound to the nanoparticle surface. Cu(II) and EDA ligand incorporat…
Blends of high-density polyethylene and polypropylene are foamed by means of extrusion using azodicarbonamide as a chemical blowing agent to study the effect of blending on the morphological and mechanical properties. At 0.5 wt% of blowing agent, optimum foam density is found to be around 417 kg/m 3 for each blend com…
We present the synthesis, as well as the structural and magnetic characterization, of [Ru2(D(3,5-Cl2Ph)F)4Cl(0.5H2O)].C6H14 (D(3,5-Cl2Ph)F = N,N'-di(3,5-dichlorophenyl)formamidinate), a Ru2(5+) compound having a 4B(2u) ground state derived from a sigma2pi4delta2pi2delta electron configuration. The persistence of this…
Synthesis and characterization of new hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives bearing perfluoroalkylated chains are described. These disc-shaped polycondensed aromatic hydrocarbons are known to self-assemble by π-stacking into columnar architectures. The peripheral decoration with perfluorinated chains, well-known for the…
The cold-active alpha-amylase from the Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis (AHA) is the largest known multidomain enzyme that displays reversible thermal unfolding (around 30 degrees C) according to a two-state mechanism. Transverse urea gradient gel electrophoresis (TUG-GE) from 0 to 6.64 M was perform…
The dispersion of pristine and nitric acid-treated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been studied in organic solvents and solvent mixtures using optical absorption, as a function of settling time. The extinction coefficients of both the pristine and acid-treated tubes at 500-nm wavelength was measured to be 25.…
A thermodynamic equilibrium model has been developed to describe amino acid adsorption on microporous materials. The model addresses electrostatic, hydrophobic and steric interactions. A procedure for fitting the model's parameters is presented and should be applicable to the majority of the common 20 amino acids. The…
A new method for preparing porous silicon nitride ceramics with high porosity had been developed by carbothermal reduction of die‐pressed green bodies composed of silicon dioxide, carbon, sintering additives, and seeds. The resultant porous silicon nitride ceramics showed fine microstructure and uniform pore structure…

Collagen, a protein widely used to control cell-material interactions, is known to self-assemble in solution. Supramolecular structures also form on material surfaces following collagen adsorption. Herein, we report the use of anisotropic, flat, surface chemical nanopatterns, which consist of alkyl-terminated tracks d…
Nanosized montmorillonite clay dispersed in small amounts in polymer results in polymer nanocomposites having superior engineering properties compared to those of the native polymer. These nanoinclusions are created by treating clay with an organic modifier which makes clay organophilic and results in intercalation or…
Polycrystalline $\mathrm{La}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is synthesized by a low-temperature method and the magnetic properties of the resulting powder have been studied after annealing the sample in air at different temperatures in the range $200\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\ifmmode^\circ\els…
Well-defined dialkylaluminum alkoxides derived from 2-methoxyethanol [R 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 OMe)] 2 [where R = Me ( 1a ) and t Bu ( 1b )] and rac -ethyl lactate [Me 2 Al(μ-OCH(Me)CO 2 Et)] 2 ( 2 ) were used as model complexes mimicking intermediate species in the initiation and propagation steps in the ring-opening poly…
Dispersible Mn3O4, CoO, and CuOx nanocrystals were synthesized via thermolysis of simple, generic molecular precursors (metal formates) in hot surfactant (oleylamine/oleic acid) solutions, which showed two-dimensional ordering on copper grids. The metal valence states in the final products were found to depend upon co…
In this work, the feasibility to develop micelle carriers of griseofulvin based on PLA-PEG copolymers was investigated. With the use of the dialysis method of micelle formation, the micellization behavior of a range of PLA(X)-PEG(5) copolymers was investigated. At copolymer concentrations in the organic solvent 10-20…
The electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties of an optically transparent diamond electrode are reported on and compared with those of a commonly used optically transparent electrode (OTE), indium tin oxide (ITO). The OTE was formed by coating a thin film (ca. 0.5−1 μm) of boron-doped diamond on quartz. The…
