The mechanical properties of soft tissues depend on the collagen fiber network and the surrounding non-fibrillar matrix. The mechanical role of non-fibrillar material remains poorly understood. Our recent study (Lake and Barocas, Ann Biomed Eng 2011) introduced collagen-agarose co-gels as a simple experimental model s…

Here we report the syntheses and crystal structures of a series of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes derived from (R)NP2 ligands (where R = OMe(Bz), H(Bz), Br(Bz), Ph) bearing ethylene linkers between a single N and two P donors. The Co(II) complexes generally adopt a tetrahedral configuration of general formula [(N…

We demonstrate a purely solvent-based approach to assembling CdSe nanorods into vertically aligned, hexagonally packed monolayers in solution. Nanorods were dispersed in a mixture of good solvent with high vapor pressure and bad solvent with low vapor pressure, and preferential evaporation of the good solvent led to o…

We report on the structure, uniaxial orientation, and photoluminescent properties of CdS nanorods that form stable nanocomposites with smectic C hydrogen-bonded polymers from the family of poly(4-(n-acryloyloxyalkoxy)benzoic acids. TEM analysis of microtomed films of nanocomposites reveals that CdS nanorods form small…

Abstract In this paper, the dynamic mechanical properties of the natural rubber (NR) which was filled with in situ zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) were investigated using a Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA2000). A weak rigid filler–filler network was formed in the uncured NR/ZDMA compounds. Pronounced Payne effect and stress‐s…

We report on original nonlinear spectral hole-burning experiments in single wall carbon nanotubes that bring evidence of pure dephasing induced by exciton-exciton scattering. We show that the collision-induced broadening in carbon nanotubes is controlled by exciton-exciton scattering as for Wannier excitons in inorgan…

Using the density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation, we have examined the stability and the catalytic properties of Au 16 gold cage structure supported on graphane. The substantially improved stability is confirmed by the first-principles molecular dynamics simulation at the temperature abo…
