In this study, we reported synthesis of ferrocene functioned conducting metallopolymer to enhance the understanding of properties of polymers. One of the crucial ways in the electrochromic polymer materials research was tuning color by means of copolymerization and change of polymer backbones and side groups. For this…
Abstract By using a commercial fast‐scan chip‐calorimeter, the effect of molecular weight on the isothermal crystallization rates of linear and cyclic poly(epsilon‐caprolactone) samples (L‐ PCLs and C‐ PCLs ) is investigated. The results confirm the non‐monotonic molecular weight dependence of the crystallization rate…
We report a new method to identify metallic nanoclusters (polyoxometalate structures) in solution at the single molecule limit using a nanometer-scale pore. The technique allows the measurement of polyoxometalates with over 2 orders of magnitude lower analyte concentration than conventional analytical chemistry tools.…
Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) as a unique spectroscopic tool has been broadly used to detect surface reactions, yet normal SERS detection and theoretical simulation cannot satisfy the urgent need of revealing detailed reaction mechanisms. Here, we introduce an isotopic SERS method to demonstrate the occur…
We have studied the thermal, electrical, and thermoelectric properties of Ca3–x Bi x Co4O9 + δ (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5) ceramics prepared by solid-state reactions. Phase-pure Ca3–x Bi x Co4O9 + δ solid solutions were obtained at x ≤ 0.3. The samples with 0.3 < x < 1.5 consisted of three phases: Ca2.7Bi0.3Co4O9 + δ, Bi2Ca2Co1.7…
Plasmonic nanostructures demonstrating an activity in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy have been fabricated by an immersion deposition of silver nanoparticles from silver salt solution on mesoporous silicon (meso-PS). The SERS signal intensity has been found to follow the periodical repacking…
Fluorescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs) have shown a great potential as antiphotobleaching, nontoxic and biodegradable labels for various in vitro and in vivo applications. However, fabricating SiQDs with high water-solubility and high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) remains a challenge. Furthermore, for targe…
Nanoporous alumina membranes are filled with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and then poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) melt, resulting in nanofibers with nanoconfinement induced coalignment of both MWCNT and polymer chains. The simple sonication process proposed here can achieve vertically aligned arrays o…
The impacts of the nucleation site and temperature on the melt crystallization of itraconazole (ITZ) were investigated. ITZ recrystallized from melt into three distinct spherulite zones between two glass coverslips, as observed under a polarized light microscope. The first two corresponded to Forms I and II which are…

The effect of diffusion-controlled microfluidic conditions in the very initial stages of a far-from-equilibrium self-assembly process on the evolution of aggregate chirality in a multicomponent supramolecular system is shown.
Current plasmonic metasurfaces of nanocubes are limited to planar configurations, restricting the ability to create tailored local electromagnetic fields. Here, we report a new chemical strategy to achieve tunable metasurfaces with nonplanar nanocube orientations, creating novel lattice-dependent field localization pa…
The use of MgO nanoparticles in polyethylene for cable insulation has attracted considerable interest, although in humid media the surface regions of the nanoparticles undergo a conversion to a hydroxide phase. A facile method to obtain MgO nanoparticles with a large surface area and remarkable inertness to humidity i…
The polarity of the charge carriers injected through Schottky junctions of α-phase molybdenum ditelluride (α-MoTe2) and various metals was characterized. We found that the Fermi-level pinning in the metal/α-MoTe2 Schottky junction is so weak that the polarity of the carriers (electron or hole) injected from the juncti…
BACKGROUND: Starch and whey protein isolate and their mixtures were used for making edible films. Moisture sorption isotherms, water vapour permeability, sorption of aroma compounds, microstructure, water contact angle and surface properties were investigated. RESULTS: With increasing protein content, the microstructu…
Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is regarded as a prominent flame-retardant nanoadditive for polymers. However, the flame-retardant efficiency of a LDH depends strongly on its dispersion state and composition. Usually, modification or functionalization of a LDH is crucial to obtaining high-performance polymer nanocompos…
Superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPMNPs) used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) cancer therapy frequently face trade off between a high magnetization saturation and their good colloidal stability, high specific absorption rate (SAR), and most importantly biological compatibilit…
In this paper, we assess the performance of four iterative algorithms for solving non-symmetric rank-deficient linear systems arising in the FFT-based homogenization of heterogeneous materials defined by digital images. Our framework is based on the Fourier-Galerkin method with exact and approximate integrations that…
Extra-large deformations in ultra-soft elastic materials are ubiquitous, yet systematic studies and methods to understand the mechanics of such huge strains are lacking. Here we investigate this complex problem systematically with a simple experiment: by introducing a heavy bead of radius $a$ in an incompressible ultr…
The type and distribution of oxygen functional groups in graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) remain still a subject of great debate. Local analytic techniques are required to access the chemistry of these materials at a nanometric scale. Electron energy loss spectroscopy in a scanning transmission ele…
