We investigate the behavior of a mixture of asymmetric colloidal dumbbells and emulsion droplets by means of kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. The evaporation of the droplets and the competition between droplet-colloid attraction and colloid-colloid interactions lead to the formation of clusters built up of colloid agg…
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as one of the thrust research areas that could find potential applications in bio and chemical sensing. We developed colloidal SERS active substrate with excellent sensitivity and high reproducibility using silver nanocube (AgNC) synthesized via the solvothermal m…
Self-oscillations in an active loop consisting of a wide-band amplifier and a magnetoelectric composite in the feedback circuit have been observed. The composite with a ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate bimorph and ferromagnetic Metglas serves as a resonator that determines the frequency of oscillations and provid…
Tailoring the properties of natural polymers such as electrical conductivity is vital to widen the range of future applications. In this article, the potential of electrically conducting multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polylactic acid (PLA) composites produced by industrially viable melt mixing is assessed simultan…
(111¯)/(111)-oriented rhombohedral Pb(Zr0.65Ti0.35)O3 films with different domain fractions were epitaxially grown on various single crystals. The volume fraction of (111)-polar-axis oriented domains in as-deposited films, Vpol.(as-depo.), was controlled by selecting a single crystal substrate with a different thermal…
Thin-film crystalline silicon is promising for photovoltaic application to reduce the cost of photovoltaic energy. Porous silicon structures have been intensively studied as a seed layer for epitaxial growth of thin Si film and layer-transfer process (LTP). In this article, another approach for LTP has been proposed.…
Magnetite nanoparticle (MNP) grafted with a cationic copolymer between poly(2-(N,N-diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) and poly(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)) for efficient and recyclable adsorption of 5'-fluorescein-tagged DNA (FAM-dT9) was prepared. MNP having highest degree of positive charge (+32.…
Silk fibroin exhibits excellent mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability combined with benign processing conditions, attracting considerable research interest for the application as biomedical materials. Among the diverse forms of sponges, hydrogels, films, and mats manufactured from silk fib…
A theoretical investigation of the unique electronic transport properties of the junctions composed of boron nitride atomic chains bridging symmetric graphene electrodes with point-contacts is executed through non-equilibrium Green's function technique in combination with density functional theory. Compared with carbo…
Plant-borne compounds have been proposed for extracellular synthesis of mosquitocidal nanoparticles. However, their impact against mosquito natural enemies has been scarcely studied. Here, we synthesised silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using Mussaenda glabra leaf extract as reducing and stabilising agent. Biofabricated…
Sodium niobate crystals doped with manganese ions, Na(NbMn)O3, were annealed in a nitrogen N2 flow at 600, 670, and 930 K. It was verified that simultaneous doping with Mn ions and annealing in nitrogen enhanced the photocatalytic features of sodium niobate. The transmission in the ultraviolet-visible range was measur…
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications, especially as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cell labeling. In this study, SPIO nanoparticles were stabilized with amphiphilic low molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) in an aqu…
On the way to transform lithium amide (LiNH2) into lithium imide (Li2NH) by releasing H2, the 1:1 molar mixture of LiNH2-LiH forms cubic (Fm3¯m) non-stoichiometric complex hydride phases (Li1+xNH2−x; 0 < x < 1) that co-exist with the tetragonal (I4¯) LiNH2 and with the cubic (Fd3¯m) Li2NH, respectively,…
To understand the service behaviour of SiC fibres, the effects of ambient environment and temperature on the microstructure, mechanical property and oxidation behaviour of these fibres were investigated. The result shows that, the surface of SiC fibres becomes rough after exposure in air from 973 to 1573 K due to the…
It is widely accepted that twinning is important for the plastic deformation of zirconium alloys, although the corresponding roles of different types of twinning are rarely discussed. Here, the deformation behavior of Zircaloy-4 alloy at ambient temperature under compression along the rolling, transverse and normal di…
The alloy Cu25Au30Zn45 undergoes a huge first-order phase transformation (6% strain) and shows a high reversibility under thermal cycling and an unusual martensitc microstructure in sharp contrast to its nearby compositions. This alloy was discovered by systematically tuning the composition so that its lattice paramet…
INTRODUCTION: The need for human cornea tissues continues to grow as an alternative option to donor tissues. Silk protein has been successfully used as a substrate to engineer corneal epithelium and stroma in vitro. Herein, we investigated the in vivo response and the effect of silk crystalline structure (beta sheet)…
The blend membranes of polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block-polystyrene and polyethylene-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-polycaprolactone were designed using the phase inversion technique. The poly(methyl methacrylate)-coated gold nanoparticles are around 40–50 nm in size. The honeycomb-shaped nanopores were uniform…
Translucent, high‐performance, mullite ceramics with anisotropic grains were prepared by the spark plasma sintering ( SPS ) of a powder mixture consisting of commercial mullite powder, which already contained small amounts of alumina (θ and α) and silica (cristobalite) (≤3 wt% in total), to which 2 and 1 wt% of yttria…
A new series of organo-soluble polyimides with pendant groups of methoxy or methyl of azomethine diamine were synthesized through two-step process by chemical imidization. Such polyimides were tested for thermal and mechanical properties. Their thermal stability was studied in terms of temperature at 10% weight loss w…
