We describe the synthesis of mixed, or binary, polymer brushes containing polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). These films were synthesized by a grafting-from (GF) strategy from gold substrates that were coated with a bis-thiol free radical photoinitiator, similar to 2,2‘-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AI…
This paper reports our novel approach in an attempt to grow high-density gold nanoparticles on an indium tin oxide (ITO) surface using an improved “touch” seeding technique, instead of the “normal” seeding approach, in a seed-mediated growth procedure as we reported previously [Kambayashi et al., Cryst. Growth Des. 20…
In vitro evolution of the polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase gene from Pseudomonas sp. 61-3 (phaC1(Ps)) has been performed to generate highly active enzymes. In this study, a positive mutant of PHA synthase, Glu130Asp (E130D), was characterized in detail in vivo and in vitro. Recombinant Escherichia coli strain JM109…
Spin-frustrated polyoxometalates, K(11)H[(VO)(3)(SbW(9)O(33))(2)].27H(2)O (1) and K(12)[(VO)(3)(BiW(9)O(33))(2)].29H(2)O (2), containing approximately equilateral and isosceles (VO)(3)(6+)-triangles (V(IV)...V(IV) separation of 5.4-5.5 A) sandwiched by two diamagnetic alpha-B nonatungstate ligands ([SbW(9)O(33)](9)(-)…
Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) are insoluble in most organic solvents, such as toluene. Improvements in the solubility of the SWNTs are, however, seen as a result of interaction with dye molecules such as terphenyl and anthracene. The suspensions formed are stable for periods greater than 24 months. Spectroscopi…
The Vogel−Fulcher−Tammann−Hesse (VFTH) equation has been the most widespread tool for describing the temperature dependence of the characteristic times of the cooperative dynamics of glass-forming liquids, both in low-molecular-weight and macromolecular systems near and above the glass transition temperature. Previous…
Synthetic samples of the pyrochlores La 2 Zr 2 O 7 and La 2 Hf 2 O 7 were irradiated in situ in the intermediate voltage electron microscope (IVEM-Tandem Facility) at Argonne National Laboratory using 1.0 MeV Kr 2+ . Results of this study demonstrate that both pyrochlores pass through the crystalline–amorphous transfo…
Solvothermal synthesis affords access to the first truly three-dimensional antimony-sulfide framework which contains one-dimensional circular channels.
Carboxylic acid-terminated polystyrene (PS) of different molecular weights from 4500 to 672 000 was grafted from melt onto silicon substrates modified with a macromolecular anchoring layer. The study was focused on influence of thickness and molecular weight of the layer on the permanent attachment of the end-function…
A series of novel hyperbranched hydrogen-bond acidic polymers for surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor applications were prepared by functionalizing hyperbranched polycarbosiloxanes or polycarbosilanes with phenol or hexafluoro-2-propanol groups. Starting polymer, sensor polymer, and reagent structures were confirmed by…
The polycatenar bent-shaped molecules are able to form columnar phases with column stratum built of few molecules, arranged in coplanar or conelike geometry. In the latter case, the phase becomes axially polar, with electric spontaneous polarization reorientable in the electric field by flipping the cone axis. The pha…
Electrochemical doping properties and morphology changes of electropolymerized poly( N -vinylcarbazole) (PVK) thin films were investigated toward improved hole-injection/transport properties in polymer light emitting diode (PLED) devices. The conjugated network polycarbazole thin films (resulting from a poly( N -carba…
Large-scale synthesis of carbon nitride nanotubes was carried out by a catalytic-assembly solvothermal route involving the reaction of cyanuric chloride (C3N3Cl3) with sodium using NiCl2 as catalyst precursor. The carbon nitride nanotubes with the CN stoichiometry are orderly assembled as bundles and have an outer dia…
The novel polyoxometalate ([As(8)V(13)NiClO(41)][Ni(en)(2)(H(2)O)][Ni(en)(2)])([Ni(en)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](0.5)).4H(2)O (1), which is the first example of a chainlike inorganic-organic hybrid polymer based on dimeric polyoxoanions linked by nickel complex fragments, has been synthesized in the system of As(2)O(3)-V(2)O(5)-H…
Polyelectrolyte multilayer films were employed to support attachment of cultured rat aortic smooth muscle A7r5 cells. Like smooth muscle cells in vivo, cultured A7r5 cells are capable of converting between a nonmotile "contractile" phenotype and a motile "synthetic" phenotype. Polyelectrolyte films were designed to ex…
Atomic hydrogen storage by carbon nanotubes (CNTs) at atmospheric pressure is studied using Pd and La catalysts for dissociation of H 2 into atomic hydrogen and formation of defects on CNT surfaces, respectively. The defect sites on CNTs as adsorption sites of atomic hydrogen are prepared by oxidation pretreatment usi…
We report the realization and characterization of independently controllable, fabricated tunnel barriers within a carbon nanotube. The nanotubes are mechanically bent or kinked using an atomic force microscope, and top gates are subsequently placed near each kink. Transport measurements indicate that the kinks form ga…
The chemistry of acetone on the oxidized and reduced surfaces of TiO 2 (110) was examined using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS). The reduced surface was prepared with about 7% oxygen vacancy sites by annealing in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) at 850 K, an…
We have studied how different growth conditions, namely, oxygen flow rate, annealing temperature and annealing time affect the diameter, aspect ratio and number density of CuO nanorods using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. CuO nanorods are synthesized by thermal annealing of thin copper foil. It is obse…
The compound Dy7Rh3 ordering antiferromagnetically below (TN=) 59 K has been known to exhibit a temperature (T) dependent electrical resistivity (rho) behavior in the paramagnetic state unusual for intermetallic compounds in the sense that there is a broad peak in rho(T) in the paramagnetic state (around 130 K) as tho…
