Abstract A novel and general strategy to fabricate monodisperse hollow supraparticles (SPs) via selective chemical oxidation is developed. Core‐shell SPs made of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) are first obtained by an in situ assembly method. Subsequently, the cores can be selectively removed by preferential oxidati…
We present the first example of a surface-initiated group transfer polymerization (SI-GTP) mediated by rare earth metal catalysts for polymer brush synthesis. The experimentally facile method allows rapid grafting of polymer brushes with a thickness of >150 nm in <5 min at room temperature. We show the preparation of…
An efficient protocol for the direct synthesis of 3-substituted and 3,5-disubstituted BODIPY derivatives via electrophilic attack with NBS was developed. Various substituents like ethers, sugar, hydroxyl, thiophene, sulfur, azide, tertiary amines, alkyne, vinyl, or phosphonate groups were obtained in moderate to excel…
Monolithic zirconia materials (3Y‐ TZP , 10Ce‐ TZP , and 12Ce‐ TZP ) and their composites with 30 vol% alumina were produced. Low‐temperature aging degradation ( LTAD ) and mechanical properties of materials were investigated. For assessment of phase stability in the materials, aging experiments were performed in wate…
Type-II nanorod heterostructures (NRHs) exhibit efficient directional charge separation and provide the potential to control this flow of charges through changes in structure and composition. We use transient-absorption spectroscopy to investigate how the magnitude of band offset and lattice strain alters dynamics of…
A simple one-pot approach based on the "benzyl alcohol route" is introduced for the fabrication of highly ordered supercrystals composed of highly uniform 3-4 nm zirconia and rare-earth stabilized zirconia nanoparticles. The as-fabricated supercrystals reach sizes larger than 10 μm and present well-defined 3D morpholo…
In situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low-energy ion scattering were used to study the preparation, (thermo)chemical and catalytic properties of 1:1 PdGa intermetallic near-surface phases. Deposition of several multilayers of Ga metal and subsequent annealing to 503-523 K led to the formation of a multi-layered…
As a potential alternative to currently available skin substitutes and wound dressings, we explored the use of bioactive scaffolds made of plant-derived proteins. We hypothesized that 'green' materials, derived from renewable and biodegradable natural sources, may confer bioactive properties to enhance wound healing a…
Atropoisomeric aromatic cores enhance disorder inside the supramolecular packing of disk-shaped mesogens. Core-extension of perylene with an atropoisomeric [4]helicene fragment thus gives rise to a room-temperature liquid crystal even with extremely short side chains. Replacement of diester moieties by imide substitue…
A new two-step extraction procedure is proposed for separation and preconcentration of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) from aqueous samples. First, Au-NPs are loaded onto a reversed phase C-18 (RP-C18) column, and then ligand-assisted extraction into chloroform is performed. 1-Dodecanethiol (1-DDT, 5 mM) was used as selec…
Ever since the first reports about low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements of Si nanocrystals Si (NCs), a severe deviation from the equations commonly used to describe the temperature dependence of the band-gap energy for bulk materials was reported. Our analysis reveals that the formerly observed deviatio…
WE43 magnesium alloy has been considered as a promising candidate material for biodegradable coronary stents. In order to evaluate the effects of blood flow on the corrosion process of biodegradable Mg and its alloys, the corrosion behaviours of as cast pure Mg and as extruded WE43 alloy in Hank’s solution under three…
Protein-protein interfaces are often stabilized by a small number of dominant contacts, exemplified by the overrepresentation of arginine residues at oligomerization interfaces. Positively charged arginines are most commonly involved in ion pairs of opposite charge; however, previous work of Scheraga and co-workers de…
A fiber optic interferometric sensor with an intrinsic transducer along a length of the fiber is presented for ultrasound measurements of the acoustic emission from partial discharges inside oil-filled power apparatus. The sensor is designed for high sensitivity measurements in a harsh electromagnetic field environmen…
The Pepper leaves extract acts as a reducing and capping agent in the formation of silver nanoparticles. A UV–Vis spectrum of the aqueous medium containing silver nanoparticles demonstrated a peak at 458 nm corresponding to the plasmon absorbance of rapidly synthesized silver nanoparticles that was characterized by UV…
Facile preparation of water-soluble and fluorescent Ag nanoclusters (NCs) stabilized by glutathione at room temperature is described. Although the glutathione layer was introduced to prevent the silver nanoparticles from decomposition and increase their water solubility, this simple surface optimization resulted in su…
The use of kinetically robust chromium(III) fluorido complexes as synthons for mixed 3d-4f clusters is reported. The tendency toward linear {Cr(III)-F-Ln(III)} units dictates the cluster topology. Specifically, we show that reaction of cis-[Cr(III)F(2)(NN)(2)]NO(3) (NN = 1,10-phenanthroline ("phen") or 2,2'-bipyridine…
We describe a method of controlled evaporation on a textured substrate for self-assembling and shaping gold-nanorod-based materials. Tridimensional wall features are formed over areas as large as several square millimeters. Furthermore, analyses by small-angle X-ray scattering and scanning electron microscopy techniqu…
Finite plasticity theories are still a subject of controversy and lively discussions. Among the approaches to finite elastoplasticity two became especially popular. The first, implemented in the commercial finite element codes, is based on the introduction of a hypoelastic constitutive law and the additive elastic-pla…
We examine the quantum spin state of a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond at room temperature as it makes a transition from the orbital ground state (GS) to the orbital excited state (ES) during nonresonant optical excitation. While the fluorescence readout of NV-center spins relies on conservation of the…
