Abstract Summary: A poly(aspartic acid)‐ block ‐polylactide (PAsp‐ block ‐PLA) diblock copolymer was synthesized through the polymerization of β ‐benzyl‐ L ‐aspartate‐ N ‐carboxyanhydride [Asp(OBzl)‐NCA] with amino‐terminating polylactide (NH 2 ‐PLA) as a macroinitiator. The chain length of the PAsp segment could be e…
It is necessary to use a crosslinking agent to bond a flameretarding hydroxy-functional organophosphorus oligomer (FR) to cotton so that the flame resistance of the treated cotton fabric can be durable to multiple homelaundering. Both dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) and melamine– formaldehyde (M-F) have been…
Polycrystalline n-ZnO/p-Cu2O heterojunctions were fabricated by reactive sputtering for photovoltaic applications. Although electrical rectification was not reproducibly obtained in the as-grown samples, rectification was observed in the samples fabricated with cyanide treated Cu2O. We have previously shown that cyani…
The sensing of chemicals and biochemical molecules using several porous silicon optical microsensors, based both on single-layer interferometers and resonant-cavity-enhanced microstructures, is reported. The operation of both families of sensors is based on the variation of the average refractive index of the porous s…
Two photoswitchable dithienylethene-tethered beta-cyclodextrin dimers were synthesized to function as host molecules with an externally controllable binding affinity. The cyclodextrin cavities of these dimers are linked through their secondary sides by a photochromic dithienylethene unit that is connected to the secon…
The present review paper traces the development of nanocrystalline copper (Nc-Cu) and nanocrystalline nickel (Nc-Ni) and their mechanical properties. The objective is to summarise the various results available in the literature. The mechanical properties discussed are elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, hardness, yield…
Here we present three different types of mechanically stable nanometer-sized hollow capsules. The common point of the currently developed systems in our laboratory is that they are liposome based. Biomolecules can be used to functionalize lipid vesicles to create a new type of intelligent material. For example, insert…
We theoretically study in detail the hydrodynamic coupling of two equal-sized colloidal spheres at low Reynolds numbers assuming the particles to be harmonically trapped with respect to both their positions and orientations. By taking into account the rotational motion, we obtain a rich spectrum of collective eigenmod…
Conversion of electronic excitation energy into vibrational energy was investigated for photochromic spiropyran molecules, using femtosecond UV-mid-IR pump-probe spectroscopy. We observe a weaker energy gap dependence than demanded by the "energy gap law". We demonstrate that large conformational changes accompanying…
The adsorption of NO 2 was investigated and compared on Na− and Ba−Y, FAU zeolites both in the absence and presence of adsorbed water using FTIR and TPD techniques. The same ionic NO x species (NO +, NO + NO 2, NO 3 - ), formed by the disproportionation of NO 2, were observed to form on both materials under dry condit…
The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of microstructure on sulfide stress cracking (SSC) properties of line pipe steel. Different kinds of microstructures, with chemical compositions identical to one steel heat, were produced by various thermomechanically controlled processes (TMCP). Coarse ferrite…
Abstract A novel mesoporous solid acid catalyst named UDCaT‐4 was designed by loading persulfated alumina and zirconia (PAZ) into highly oredered, hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS). UDCaT‐4 was characterized by XRD, BET surface area and pore size analysis which revealed that neither pore blocking nor structure collaps…

Abstract Summary: The compound 4‐hydroxycinnamic acid (4HCA), a natural biomonomer, is polymerized by melt polycondensation to yield a liquid‐crystalline biopolymer (P4HCA) with UV reactivity. L929 cells were successfully incubated on P4HCA films at 37 °C. Structure of poly(4‐hydroxycinnamic acid) (P4HCA) and its cros…
Bone-like biological materials have achieved superior mechanical properties through hierarchical composite structures of mineral and protein. Gecko and many insects have evolved hierarchical surface structures to achieve extraordinary adhesion capabilities. We show that the nanometer scale plays a key role in allowing…
This paper investigates the liquid absorbency potential of the vegetal cell-fibers (CF) of Luffa cylindrica (LC) in relation to their microscopic morphology. Absorption after drainage and centrifugation, involving deionized water and saline solutions, is measured on both the raw fibers of the vegetal net and the cell-…
Abstract Single‐crystals of MnFe 2 O 4 nanorods with an average diameter of 20 nm and length of 250 nm were synthesized by a hydrothermal process at 180 °C after 12 h. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and electron diffraction (ED) analysis revealed that the nanorods grow along the [110] axis, w…

Under stoichiometric conditions, the segmental tris-tridentate ligand L9 assembles with two different lanthanide metal ions Ln(1) and Ln(2) (Ln(1), Ln(2)=La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Yb, Lu, Y) to give mixtures of the heterotrimetallic triple-stranded helicates [(Ln(1))(x)(Ln(2))(3-x)(L9)(3)](9+) (x=0-3) in acetonitrile. The combi…
The introduction of accurate material modeling such as hysteresis phenomenon in numerical field calculation leads to numerical problems induced by the nonlinear properties of the initial system. We focus on the solution of the magnetic field diffusion equation, which contains such problems. This paper presents a new f…
