Enzymes are proficient catalysts that enable fast rates of Michaelis-complex formation, the chemical step and products release. These different steps may require different conformational states of the active site that have distinct binding properties. Moreover, the conformational flexibility of the active site mediate…
Thermal decomposition behaviors of neat polypropylene (PP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and LDPE/PP mixture with different ratios (30/70, 50/50, 70/30) are studied under nonisothermal conditions in closed-batch reactors. The presence of a synergistic effect is observed for mixture samples with a PP composition…
We have found evidence for a strong magnetoelectric (ME) coupling at room temperature between polycrystalline Co layers ($5\ensuremath{-}40$ nm) and single-crystalline (001)-oriented BaTiO${}_{3}$ layers ($15\ensuremath{-}17$ nm). We took advantage of the quasi-single polarization orientation, perpendicular to the fil…
In this contribution, we report a novel strategy for the synthesis of nanocrystal-containing magnetoceramics with an ultralow hysteresis loss by the pyrolysis of commercial polysilazane cross-linked with a functional metallopolymer possessing hyperbranched topology. The usage of hyperbranched polyferrocenylcarbosilane…
With its host of outstanding material properties, single-crystal diamond is an attractive material for nanomechanical systems. Here, the mechanical resonance characteristics of freestanding, single-crystal diamond nanobeams fabricated by an angled-etching methodology are reported. Resonance frequencies displayed evide…
A luminescent transparent hyperbranched epoxy nanocomposite with previously unachieved outstanding toughness and elasticity has been created by incorporation of a very small amount of carbon oxide nanodots. The nanocomposites of the hyperbranched epoxy with carbon oxide dots at different dose levels (0.1, 0.5, and 1.0…

Polymeric electrodes that can achieve high doping levels and store charge reversibly are desired for electrochemical energy storage because they can potentially achieve high specific capacities and energies. One such candidate is the polyaniline:poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PANI:PAAMPSA) complex…
We have determined the equilibrium crystal shape of Ni at 0 K using Wulff construction based on 36 orientation-dependent surface energies, which are calculated from first principles. The (111), (100), (110), (210), (221), (311), and (322) surfaces are found in the predicted equilibrium shape based on DFT data, whereas…
We indicate the fundamental rationale underlying the control of temperature and the manipulation of thermal flux, with reference to a multilayered composite material. We show that when the orientation of the layers in the composite is physically rotated with respect to a constant temperature gradient, there would then…
We propose a novel system to enhance detection sensitivity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in electrochemical assays by using nanoceria particles as redox active catalytic amplifiers of ALP signals. The catalytic activity of nanoceria particles attributed to their dual oxidation state Ce(4+)/Ce(3+) and high oxygen mobil…
as a bridging ion. The AuNPs serve as removable caps that hinder the release of drug molecules inside the amino functionalized MSN mesoporous framework. The modified MSNs themselves exhibit negligible cytotoxicity to living cells, as revealed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)…
Microcapsules with diverse wall structures may exhibit different performance in specific applications. In the present study, three kinds of mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) microcapsules with different wall structures have been prepared by a template-mediated method. More specifically, three types of CaCO3 microsphe…
Inspired by the multifunctionality of vitamin D-binding protein and the multiple transient-binding behavior of some intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), a polymeric platform is designed, prepared, and characterized for combined delivery of dermal protective and anticancer bioactive cargos on the basis of artifici…
Multimodal imaging offers the potential to improve diagnosis and enhance the specificity of photothermal cancer therapy. Toward this goal, gadolinium-conjugated gold nanoshells are engineered and it is demonstrated that they enhance contrast for magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray, optical coherence tomography, reflecta…
The oxygen pressure effect on the structural and ferroelectric properties have been studied in epitaxial BaTiO3 (BTO)/SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (001) heterostructures grown by pulsed laser deposition. It is found that oxygen pressure is a sensitive parameter, which can influence the characteristics of oxide films in many aspects.…
Atomistic-to-Continuum (AtC) coupling methods are a novel means of computing the properties of a discrete crystal structure, such as those containing defects, that combine the accuracy of an atomistic (fully discrete) model with the efficiency of a continuum model. In this note we extend the optimization-based AtC, fo…
We use a two-orbital double-exchange model including superexchange interactions, Jahn-Teller lattice distortions, and long-range Coulomb interactions to investigate the origin of magnetically disordered interfaces between ferromagnetic metallic (FM) and antiferromagnetic insulating (AFI) manganites in FM/AFI superlatt…
We report on a Dirac-like Fermi surface in three-dimensional bulk materials in a distorted spinel structure on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) as well as tight-binding theory. The four examples we provide in this paper are BiZnSiO4, BiCaSiO4, BiMgSiO4, and BiAlInO4. A necessary characteristic of these str…
We investigate the competitive adsorption of a two-component gas on the surface of an adsorbent whose adsorption properties vary in adsorption due to the adsorbent deformation. The essential difference of adsorption isotherms for a deformable adsorbent both from the classical Langmuir adsorption isotherms of a two-com…
