Ethynyl-terminated fluorinated poly(arylene ether sulfide) (E-FPAESI) was synthesized via nucleophilic aromatic substitution from dihydroxy monomer and pentafluorophenyl sulfide, followed by the reaction with 3-ethynylphenol. Dihydroxy monomer was synthesized in four steps via bromination, Grignard, Suzuki cross-coupl…

SrTiO 3 (100) epitaxial films with thicknesses of 3, 1 μm, and 250 nm were prepared on MgO (100) substrates by pulsed‐laser deposition. The electrical conductivities of the thin films were systematically investigated as a function of temperature and ambient oxygen partial pressure. This was made possible by using a sp…

Numerical simulations are presented of shear flow past two-dimensional droplets adhering to a wall, at moderate Reynolds numbers. The results were obtained using a level-set method to track the interface, with measures to eliminate any errors in the conservation of mass of droplets. First, the case of droplets whose c…

Abstract Summary: PANCMPCs containing phospholipid side moieties were electrospun into nanofibers with a mean diameter of 90 nm. Field emission SEM was used to characterize the morphologies of the nanofibers. These phospholipid‐modified nanofibers were explored as supports for enzyme immobilization due to the characte…

X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy was used to characterize the wave vector- and temperature-dependent dynamics of spontaneous thermal fluctuations in a sponge (L3) phase that occurs in a blend of a symmetric poly(styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene) triblock copolymer with a polystyrene homopolymer. Measurements of…

Novel applications for flexible electronics, e.g., displays and solar cells, require fully flexible, transparent, stable, and low-work-function electrodes that can be manufactured via a low-cost process. Here, we demonstrate that surface chemistry constitutes a route to producing transparent low-work-function plastic…

Self-sacrifice: Poly(acrylic acid) was used to tune the diameter of 1D nanowires prepared from linear Cd2+/thioglycolic acid coordination polymer chains. The nanowires were then employed as sacrificial templates for preparing long CdTe nanotubes of different diameters (see the TEM images).

Cisplatin is the most effective cytotoxic agent against many cancers. Its usage, however, is limited due to inefficient uptake by the target cells. A liposomal formulation of cisplatin is reported to partly overcome this limitation. Physicochemical characteristics of the liposome-cisplatin preparation, including its s…

Generation of hydrogen via the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) solution in the presence of metal catalysts is a promising method for hydrogen storage. The concentration of NabH 4 should be as high as possible in order to improve energy density. On the other hand, NaBO 2 is produced after the hydrolysis of N…

Mineralized tissues are produced by most living organisms for load and impact functions. In contrast, the jaws of the clam worm, Nereis, are hard without mineralization. However, they are peculiarly rich in halogens, which are associated with a variety of post-translationally modified amino acids, many of which are mu…

Visible and near-infrared photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature is reported from Si nanowires (NWs) grown by chemical vapor deposition from TiSi2 catalyst sites. NWs grown with average diameter of 20 nm were etched and oxidized to thin and passivate the wires. The PL emission blue shifted continuously with decrea…

Hydroxyl groups in dextrans have been selectively oxidized to aldehyde groups by sodium periodate in a controlled fashion with a percentage of conversion ranging from 6 to 100%. Dextrans (10, 70, 148, 500, and 2000 kDa) and oxidized 10k dextrans have been successfully grafted to functionalized silicon surfaces. The ef…

Forced to comply: The MnIII6CrIII complex 1 is constructed from two trinuclear manganese triplesalen complexes and one [Cr(CN6)]3− ion, and possesses a spin ground state of St=21/2. The threefold symmetry enforced by the triplesalen ligand precludes a complete cancellation of the single-site magnetic anisotropies and…

The effects of shadowing in oblique incidence metal (100) epitaxial growth are studied using a simplified model. We find that many of the features observed in Cu(100) growth, including the existence of a transition from anisotropic mounds to ripples perpendicular to the beam, can be explained purely by geometrical eff…

Excited-state calculations, notably for quasiparticle band structures, are nowadays routinely performed within the GW approximation for the electronic self-energy. Nevertheless, certain numerical approximations and simplifications are still employed in practice to make the computations feasible. An important aspect fo…
