Coaxial cables have been constructed with carbon nanotube (CNT) materials serving as both the inner and outer conductors. Treatment of the CNT outer and inner conductors with KAuBr(4) was found to significantly reduce the attenuation of these cables, which demonstrates that chemical agents can be used to improve power…
A novel polymerization methodology for efficient synthesis of hyperbranched polyethylene amphiphiles by chain walking polymerization (CWP) followed by RAFT polymerization has been developed. Hyperbranched polyethylene with hydroxyl ends (HBPE-OHs) is first synthesized via chain walking copolymerization of ethylene wit…
Cellulose perforated by micro-channels (Ø ~500 μm) has been investigated as a potential future scaffold material for meniscus implants. Scaffolds seeded with 3T6 fibroblasts were cultivated with mechanical stimulation in a compression bioreactor for enhanced collagen production. Constructs under dynamic compression at…
Diamond in nanoparticle form is a promising material that can be used as a robust and chemically stable catalyst support in fuel cells. It has been studied and characterized physically and electrochemically, in its thin film and powder forms, as reported in the literature. In the present work, the electrochemical prop…
Yes, Walter, there is a polymorph of sucrose! At 4.80 GPa, (+)-sucrose, common table sugar, transforms into a new polymorph. In its structure the network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds is reformulated, with new types of H bonds being formed, and the molecular conformation changes. This structural variability is char…
Abstract Calcium carbonate nanoparticles were synthesized via so‐called sol–gel citrate method using calcium nitrate as precursor in presence of different concentration of citric acid, selected to be 0.0, 0.5, 1.25 and 2.5 times of the concentration of the precursor, on calcining at 600 °C for 5 h. Stable phase of the…
The influence of indium doping on morphology, structural, and luminescence properties of gallium oxide micro- and nanostructures is reported. Indium-doped gallium oxide micro- and nanostructures have been grown by thermal oxidation of metallic gallium in the presence of indium oxide. The dominant morphologies are belt…
Mussel inspired proteins have been demonstrated to serve as a versatile biologic adhesive with numerous applications. The present study illustrates the use of such Mussel inspired proteins (polydopamine) in the fabrication of functionalized bio-inspired nanomaterials capable of both improving cell response and sustain…
Three-dimensional dissecting onto interior lamellar structures of spherulites in poly(ethylene adipate) (PEA) in bulk forms crystallized at 28 ± 3 °C were studied in correlation with thin-film forms. Interior morphology in bulk PEA samples revealed onion-like alternating shells. Interior spherulites clearly exposes th…
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/chondroitin sulfate (Chi/TPP/CS) nanoparticles were prepared by an ionic gelation method to obtain a controlled release of proteins. Using Nel-like molecule-1 (Nell-1), a novel osteogenic protein, as a model protein, it was demonstrated that adjusting the composition of the particles modulate…
The present work contains the results of the experiments with two tiny drops on partially wettable substrates with contact angles of 10°, 24°, 27°, and 56°, which coalesce in the regime entirely dominated by viscous forces. Both side and bottom views are examined. The results for these three-dimensional coalescence fl…
Semiquinone-bridged bisdithiazolyls 3 represent a new class of resonance-stabilized neutral radical for use in the design of single-component conductive materials. As such, they display electrochemical cell potentials lower than those of related pyridine-bridged bisdithiazolyls, a finding which heralds a reduced on-si…
In this paper, we demonstrate a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) based on nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) formed by pulse anodization. The AAO structure with alternating mild anodized (MA) and hard anodized (HA) layers having different porosities and thereby different refractive indices was fabricated in 0.3 M…
Eight makes a happy Ho(l)me: The versatile octadentate TIAM ligand forms lanthanide complexes (Ln=Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho) with high quantum yields in water. This ligand is an efficient sensitizer, and also shields the metal center from solvent quenching, as shown by an X-ray diffraction study of the Ho complex.
Propylen aus Methan: Eine zweistufige Route über CH3Cl oder CH3Br wandelt Methan in Propylen um. Im ersten Schritt dient CeO2 als effizienter Katalysator für die oxidative Chlorierung oder Bromierung des Methans, im zweiten Schritt wird ein modifizierter Zeolith als selektiver und stabiler Katalysator für die Umsetzun…
Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have been well appreciated for their potential in nanophotonics with an unprecedented impact in various areas, including light emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells. There is an outstanding demand on the control of size and size distribution for the various applications, wit…
We determine the atomic structure of the pseudotetragonal T phase and the pseudorhombohedral R phase in highly strained multiferroic BiFeO(3) thin films by using a combination of atomic-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The coordination of the Fe atoms and thei…
We analyze the influence of biaxial strain on the double-resonance ($D$ and 2$D$) Raman bands of graphite-related materials. A substantial nonlinear dependence of these bands with the strain is observed, evidencing a quite different effect on the electronic structure around the K and $\mathbf{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}$ poi…
Hysteresis features of the direct and inverse magnetocaloric effect associated with first-order magnetostructural phase transitions in Ni-Mn-X (X $=$ Ga, Sn) Heusler alloys have been disclosed by differential calorimetry measurements performed either under a constant magnetic field, $H$, or by varying $H$ in isotherma…
Floating gate memory devices were fabricated using well-ordered gold nanoparticle/block copolymer hybrid films as the charge trapping layers, SiO(2) as the dielectric layer, and poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the semiconductor layer. The charge trapping layer was prepared via self-assembly. The addition of Au nanoparticles…
