Enzymatic modification of polylactic acid fibers is investigated using various kinds of protease and lipase. The effects of enzymes on the hydrolysis of polylactic acid fibers is evaluated by means of fiber weight loss, fiber strength and fiber surface observation. It is found that proteases derived from Bacillus subt…
The photochemical behavior of (dibenzoylmethanato)boron difluoride in the polymethyl methacrylate matrix was studied. Photoinduced luminescence enhancement was observed, and a mechanism of the process related to the aggregation of high-polarity luminophore molecules under irradiation was suggested.
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), anionic clays, have attracted increasing interest as nanovehicles for delivering genes, drugs, and bio-active molecules into cells. However, no attempts have been made to evaluate the potential undesirable effects of LDH nanoparticles. The cytotoxicity of LDHs with different chemical…
Crystal defects, especially dislocations, in hen egg-white lysozyme crystals that have multiple polymorphisms, for example, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic forms, etc., were investigated by means of synchrotron monochromatic-beam X-ray topography. The observed topographic images of dislocations were much clearer…
Erythropoietin (Epo) induces physiological activities such as cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in Epo receptor (EpoR)-expressing vascular endothelial and tumor cells. Recently, it has been demonstrated that growth factor-independent proliferation is frequently observed during the cell transformation pro…
The corrosion inhibition of carboxy-amidoimidazoline was evaluated by using potenthiodynamic polarization curves, linear polarization resistance and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy techniques. Solution included deaerated 3% NaCl saturated with CO2 at 50°C. Material tested was a pipeline steel with three differe…
Solution crystallization is an important separation and purification process used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The quality of a crystalline product is generally judged by four main criteria: purity, crystal habit, particle size and solid form. Consistent production of the desired polymorph is c…
Abstract The unusual properties of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) make them attractive for applications in the realm of molecular electronics, but also cause severe experimental difficulties in the purification and handling of these materials. One important step toward routine use of SWCNTs is the development…
In this article, we report a simple approach for selectively sensing Fe2+ ions using CTAB-stabilized Au-Ag nanorods (CTAB-Au-Ag NRs) in the presence of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS). The prepared CTAB-Au-Ag NRs exhibit an intense longitudinal surface plasmon resonance absorption (>10(9) M(-1) cm(-1) at 827 nm)…
Abstract Nanofibers can be prepared from a polymer solution utilizing electrospinning, a method exploiting an electrostatic field. In this work the electric field of the electrospinning process was modeled for better understanding and controllability of the fiber deposition in the electrospinning process. The model of…
Rutile (TiO 2 ) twins from Diamantina in Brazil were investigated using analytical transmission electron microscopy methods. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) imaging of (301) twinned rutile revealed the existence of a coherent interlayer at the twin boundary. The interface lamella, with a later…
The effects of doping on the performance of coaxially gated carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistors for both zero Schottky-barrier (SB) and doped carbon nanotube contacts are theoretically investigated. For ultrascaled CNTFETs in which the source/drain metal contacts lie 50 nm apart, there is no MOSFET-like con…
Abstract The flow stress of bulk specimens is known to depend on the microstructure. With a reduction of specimen dimensions into the micrometer and nanometer regime, specimen size-effects also influence the mechanical properties. We characterized the size-dependent flow stress of copper over more than three orders of…
Recent advances in the synthesis of nanowires based on conducting conjugated polymers are described. The results of recent experimental studies of the electrical properties of polymer nanowires are critically analyzed. The applicability of various theoretical models of tunneling in one-dimensional conductors (variable…
Abstract We demonstrate filling of single‐wall carbon nanotubes with ferrocene. Encapsulated ferrocenes are utilized as a precursor to secondary inner tubes and iron dopant. The reaction pathway is traced by Raman and photoemission spectroscopy. From a comparison to the inner‐tube growth from C 60 fillers we propose d…
Understanding carrier transport in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their networks is important for harnessing CNTs for device applications. Here, we report multishell carrier transport in individual multiwalled CNTs, and films of randomly dispersed multiwalled CNTs, as a function of electric field and temperature. Electri…
Magnesium alloys are becoming widely recognised as the candidates to replace steel and aluminium alloys, especially in automotive industries and thereby they have potential to be widely used. In the present paper, resistance spot welding (RSW) was performed on 1 mm thick AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets. The effect of wel…
Hexagonal KCaGd(PO4)2:RE3+ (RE=Ce,Tb,Eu,Tm,Sm) were synthesized by coprecipitation method and their vacuum ultraviolet–ultraviolet (VUV-UV) spectroscopic properties were investigated. The bands at about 165nm in the VUV excitation spectra are attributed to the host lattice absorptions. For Ce3+-doped samples, the band…
Abstract Electron microscopic observations revealed the development of a complex interpenetrating morphology of magnesia and tantalum after magnesium-vapour reduction of tantalum oxide powder. In the early reaction stage, a nanoscale lamellar and rod-like morphology is found. This rather regular structure decomposes a…
Magnesium alloys are potential biodegradable implant materials. However, magnesium alloys normally corrode rapidly in the in-vivo fluid, resulting in subcutaneous gas bubbles and alkalisation of the in-vivo solution. The paper presents a new approach to control the degradation rate of magnesium in a simulated body flu…
