A new optical sensor that uses local plasmon resonance is proposed. A peak that is due to the local plasmon resonance appears in the absorption spectrum of a gold colloid suspension in the visible region, and its height and wavelength depend on the refractive index of the suspension. These properties are used for opti…
The generation of surfaces and interfaces that are able to withstand protein adsorption is a major challenge in the design of blood-contacting materials for both medical implants and bioaffinity sensors. Poly(ethylene glycol)-derived materials are generally considered to be particularly effective candidates for the fa…
First-principles calculations using the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method have been performed to investigate detailed electronic and optical properties of ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{2}$ in the anatase structure. The fully optimized structure, obtained by minimizing the total energy and atomic forces, are in…
We present an approach to the implementation of the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) for the study of properties of solid solutions in the context of density-functional methods. Our approach can easily be applied to any type of pseudopotential, and also has the advantage that it can be used to obtain estimates of t…
The crystallization behavior of melt-crystallized poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) was studied using time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy measurements. The 1073-cm−1 amorphous band was chosen for characterizing the crystallization feature of PPS. The melt-crystallization kinetics suggested three-d…
Various macrokinetic models (the Avrami, Tobin, Malkin, and simultaneous Avrami models) were applied to describe the primary crystallization of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) under isothermal conditions. Analysis of the experimental data was carried out using a direct-fitting method such that the experimental data w…
Two chemically modified chain extended/branched polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and one unmodified resin, considered to be linear, were characterized in terms of their melt flow, die swell, and viscoelastic properties. The three resins had reportedly similar nominal intrinsic viscosities but exhibited differen…
The influence of the substrate on the morphology of 2D and 3D superlattices made of 5.8 nm silver sulfide nanocrystals coated with dodecanethiol is reported. The two substrates used are highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ). The self-assemblies of nanocrystals were characterized w…
Polyaniline (PANI) forms thermoreversible gels in four different sulfonic acids, e.g., dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acid (DNNSA), dinonylnapthalene disulfonic acid (DNNDSA), ±camphor-10-sulfonic acid (CSA), and dodecyl sulfonic acid (DSA), when made from the formic acid medium. The gelation behavior of 15% PANI−sulfoni…
The synthesis of novel poly(methyl methacrylate)s with starlike architectures by controlled radical polymerization starting from dendritic 2-, 4-, 6-, and 12-arm multifunctional initiators is described. The more highly functionalized initiators were obtained by coupling a bromo-functionalized bis(hydroxymethyl)propion…
Polyethylene (PE) has been and is the most common and most studied polymer. Nevertheless, there is still no full consensus among researchers about such a basic property as the value of its glass tr...
The recycling of ceria-based glass polishing powder by alkali treatment was investigated. Major impurities in the waste, a SiO 2 component from fine glass powder and an Al 2 O 3 component from coagulating agents, could be removed easily at 50−60 °C in a 4 mol kg -1 NaOH solution within 1 h. These impurities react with…
The thermal degradation of natural rubber (NR) in air at a constant heating rate was studied by using of the thermogravimetry (TG) and thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG–DTA) simultaneous techniques. It indicates that the temperature of thermal degradation of gel and sol of NR rises linearly along…
A photochemical technique for the modification of polyethylene (PE) surfaces was developed. Polyethylene samples were irradiated with UV light in a gas atmosphere containing SO 2 and air to achieve a photosulfonation of the surface. The introduction of sulfonic acid groups (−SO 3 H) onto the PE surface was proved by F…

Variation of the crosslink density of a rubber vulcanizate depending on the rubber composition after the thermal aging was studied with single rubber, biblend, and triblend vulcanizates of natural rubber (NR), butadiene rubber (BR), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The efficient vulcanization (EV) system was employ…
In the newly designed photoswitchable electron transfer compound 2, our previously published donor−bridge−acceptor system (anthracene−CH 2 −bithiophene−pyridinium) is modified by incorporation of the photoisomerizable dithienylethene (DTE) as a switching unit. In the open-ring form 2a, excitation of the anthracene don…
Multilayer thin film assemblies fabricated by the sequential adsorption of polyelectrolytes on a quartz substrate were used as a supramolecular reaction template to study the in situ nucleation and growth of PbS nano- and microparticles. Chemical reaction within the polymer film was initiated by absorbing Pb 2+ from a…
Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthases catalyze the conversion of beta-hydroxybutyryl coenzyme A (HBCoA) to PHB. These enzymes require an active site cysteine nucleophile for covalent catalysis. A protein BLASTp search using the Class III Chromatium vinosum synthase sequence reveals high homology to prokaryotic lipases w…
The question of whether a protein whose natural sequence is inverted adopts a stable fold is still under debate. We have determined the 2. 1-A crystal structure of the retro-GCN4 leucine zipper. In contrast to the two-stranded helical coiled-coil GCN4 leucine zipper, the retro-leucine zipper formed a very stable, para…
