Multifunctional carboxylic acids have been used as durable press finishing agents for cotton with sodium hypophosphite (NaH 2 PO 2 ) as the most effective catalyst. In our previous research, we found that cellulose cross-linking takes place when cotton fabric treated with a combination of maleic acid and NaH 2 PO 2 is…

Mesoporous polymer and carbon thin films are prepared by the organic-organic self-assembly of an oligomeric phenolic resin with an amphiphilic triblock copolymer template, Pluronic F127. The ratio of resin to template is selected such that a body-centered cubic (Im3m) mesostructure is formed in the bulk. However, well…

This work investigates plasmon-enhanced multiphoton scanning photoelectron emission microscopy (SPIM) of single gold nanorods under vacuum conditions. Striking differences in their photoemission properties are observed for nanorods deposited either on 2 nm thick Pt films or 10 nm thick indium tin oxide (ITO) films. On…

We report on the glass-forming abilities of the homologous series 1,2-diphenylcyclo-butene, pentene, hexene and heptene-a series that retains the cis-phenyl configuration characteristic of the well-studied glass former, o-terphenyl. We find that the glass-forming ability shows a sharp maximum for the six-membered ring…

A kinetic study of the growth of BaTiO 3 under hydrothermal conditions using layered titanate nanotubes as precursors has been performed at 110 and 200 °C. At the early stages of crystallization, irrespective of temperature, pseudocubic BaTiO 3 nucleates on the surfaces of the nanotubes. Growth subsequently proceeds b…

The polarization induced at the LaAlO${}_{3}$/SrTiO${}_{3}$ interface has been explored by optical second harmonic generation (SHG) spectroscopy. Our data reveal that an orbital reconstruction of the SrTiO${}_{3}$ surface occurs when three epitaxial monolayers of LaAlO${}_{3}$ are deposited on top of it. The reconstru…

A biomimetic was designed for the construction of a new efficient peroxidase-like nano artificial enzyme with a heme-imidazole component complexed with gemini 12-2-12/SDS supramolecules. The presence of a simple surfactant mixture (SDS/gemini 12-2-12 at a particular concentration) provided an apoprotein-like hydrophob…

The calculated optical effective masses of electrons, both orthogonal and parallel to the tetragonal axis of the crystal, are reported as a function of carrier concentration in Nb-doped anatase. The calculation is based on the band structure, obtained by density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximat…

The shear mechanical compliance of the glass−rubber transition or softening zone of high molecular weight amorphous polymers typically increases from the glassy compliance of ∼10 −10 cm 2 /dyn up to the rubbery plateau of ∼10 −6 cm 2 /dyn. The contributions from the local segmental relaxation and the Rouse modes canno…

Noscapine, the tubulin-binding anticancer agent, when administered orally, requires high ED(50) (300-600 mg/kg), whereas intravenous administration (10 mg/kg) results in rapid elimination of the drug with a half-life of 0.39 h. Hence, the development of long-circulating injectable nanoparticles can be an interesting o…

The time dynamics of the photoexcited carriers and carrier-multiplication efficiencies in PbS quantum dots (QDs) are investigated. In particular, we report on the carrier dynamics, including carrier multiplication, as a function of QD size and compare them to the bulk value. We show that the intraband 1$P$\ensuremath{…

Abstract Ultrathin β‐MnOOH nanofibers can be produced on a large scale via a green‐chemical method using an aqueous solution of very dilute Mn(NO 3 ) 2 and aminoethanol at room temperature. High‐magnification electron microscopy demonstrates that the β‐MnOOH nanofibers are 3–5 nm thin and up to 1 micrometer long and t…

Tb-doped ceria materials have been synthesized by the coprecipitation method. Cobalt oxide (2 mol %) has been added in order to improve the sinterability and conductivity. XRD measurements suggest that a part of the cobalt is incorporated in the ceria lattice. Ce 1− x Tb x O 2−δ materials showed predominantly ionic co…

We investigate the role of substrates on the collective excitations of graphene by using a first-principles implementation of the density response function within the random-phase approximation. Specifically, we consider graphene adsorbed on SiC(0001) and Al(111) as representative examples of a semiconducting and meta…
