We have performed the calculations of the size effect in the temperature dependence of BaTiO3 nanograin ceramics specific heat and dielectric permittivity. We took into account the distribution of the grain sizes, that exists in any real nanomaterial. This distribution lead to the distribution of the temperatures of t…
Development of shear-induced crystallization precursor structure was studied by in-situ rheo-SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) and rheo-WAXD (wide-angle X-ray diffraction) techniques using binary polymer blends of high and low molecular weight polyethylenes near their nominal melting temperatures (120 °C). Two low m…
Tissue engineering often makes use of biodegradable scaffolds to guide and promote controlled cellular growth and differentiation in order to generate new tissue. There has been significant research regarding the effects of scaffold surface chemistry and degradation rate on tissue formation and the importance of these…
We studied fibril formation in a family of peptides based on PHF6 (VQIVYK), a short peptide segment found in the microtubule binding region of tau protein. N-Acetylated peptides AcVYK-amide (AcVYK), AcIVYK-amide (AcPHF4), AcQIVYK-amide (AcPHF5), and AcV-QIVYK-amide (AcPHF6) rapidly formed straight filaments in the pre…
Thermohydrogen processing is a technique in which hydrogen is used as a temporary alloying element in titanium alloys to control the microstructure and improve the final mechanical properties. Thermohydrogen processing can also be used to enhance the processability/fabricability of titanium products including sinterin…
The properties of antiferromagnetic materials with violated space-time parity are considered. Particular attention is given to the bismuth ferrite BiFeO 3 ferroelectric magnet. This material is distinguished from other antiferromagnets in that the inversion center is absent in its crystal and magnetic structures. This…
Recent developments in NMR spectroscopy, which include new experiments that increase the lifetimes of NMR signals or that precisely define the orientation of internuclear bond vectors with respect to a common molecular frame, have significantly increased the size of proteins for which quantitative structural and dynam…
Abstract A detailed investigation of the processing parameters influencing the oxidative polymerization of 3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and a methanol‐substituted derivative (EDOT–CH 2 OH) was performed with the goal of maximizing the conductivity of the polymer. We show that the conductivity can be significantly…
Abstract Arrays of well‐aligned single‐crystal zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires of uniform diameter and length have been synthesized on a (100) silicon substrate via a simple horizontal double‐tube system using chemical vapor transport and condensation method. X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) cha…
ZnO nanorods were grown on SiO2/Si substrates by a sol-gel method at low temperatures of around T=95 °C. The diameters and the lengths of ZnO nanorods increased at high concentrations of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and methenamine solution. Current–voltage characteristics of the ZnO nanorods network followed a typical no…
It has been observed that voltage waveforms generated by power electronic converters may affect significantly the reliability of electric motor insulation. Since partial discharges are considered to be the main cause of the reliability loss, new enamel insulations for magnet wires are being developed in order to withs…
Emissions of sulfur trioxide (SO3) are a key component of plume opacity and acid deposition. Consequently, these emissions need to be low enough to not cause opacity violations and acid deposition. Generally, a small fraction of sulfur (S) in coal is converted to SO3 in coal-fired combustion devices such as electric u…
We hypothesized that immunoliposomes (ILs) that target epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or its truncated variant EGFRvIII can be constructed to provide efficient intracellular drug delivery in tumor cells overexpressing these receptors. Monoclonal antibody fragments included Fab' fragments derived from C225…
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and isothermal calorimetry have been applied extensively to the analysis of light metals, especially Al based alloys. Isothermal calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry are used for analysis of solid state reactions, such as precipitation, homogenisation, devitrivicati…
The actinomycete genus Gordonia has attracted much interest in recent years for a variety of reasons. Most species were isolated due to their abilities to degrade xenobiotics, environmental pollutants, or otherwise slowly biodegradable natural polymers as well as to transform or synthesize possibly
The first example of a working model of the photosynthetic antenna-reaction center complex, constructed via self-assembled supramolecular methodology, is reported. For this, a supramolecular triad is assembled by axially coordinating imidazole-appended fulleropyrrolidine to the zinc center of a covalently linked zinc…
This work describes the first thermoelectric devices based on the V-VI-compounds Bi/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ and (Bi,Sb)/sub 2/Te/sub 3/ which can be manufactured by means of regular thin film technology in combination with microsystem technology. Fabrication concept, material deposition for some 10-μm-thick layers and the pro…
Materials engineered to have negative permittivity and permeability demonstrate exotic behavior, from a negative refractive index to subwavelength focusing.
Abstract The factors affecting the nucleation and growth of gold nanorods, (Jana et al., Adv. Mater. 2001 , 13 , 1389) have been investigated. It is shown that the size and aspect ratio can be controlled through the use of different sized seed particles. The length of the rods can be tuned from 25–170 nm, while the wi…
We report a strategy for the production of materials with structural hierarchy. The approach employs polymer microgels as templates for the synthesis of semiconductor, metal, or magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). We show that NPs with predetermined dimensions and size-dependent properties can be synthesized by using a very…
