Functionalization of vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotube carpets was performed via exposure to CF 4 or Ar:F 2 RF plasmas. Rapid fluorination was observed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with surface fluorine concentration, bonding type, and patterning dependent on gas mixture and exposure time. S…

We describe a method for deriving effective low-energy theories of electronic interactions at graphene edges. Our method is applicable to general edges of honeycomb lattices (zigzag, chiral, and even disordered) as long as localized low-energy states (edge states) are present. The central characteristic of the effecti…

Abstract A range of triphenylene and phthalocyanine‐based discotic liquid crystals (DLCs) can be aligned within micrometer‐scale channels formed from SU8 patterned on silicon or glass surfaces. The channels can be filled with the DLC in its isotropic phase using capillary action. Alignment occurs spontaneously as the…

O-Glycosylation of collagen is a unique type of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) involving the attachment of galactose (Gal) or glucose-galactose (Glc-Gal) moieties to hydroxylysine (HyK). Also, hydroxyproline (HyP) result from the posttranslational hydroxylation of some proline residues in collagen. Here, LC-MS…
