Abstract Summary: A superhydrophobic coating was facilely fabricated in one step by casting bisphenol A polycarbonate (PC) solution under moisture. Vapor‐induced phase separation occurred during the solidifying process and a rough surface with a micro‐nano‐binary structure (MNBS) similar to the microstructure shown on…
Starpharma focuses on the use of dendrimers as drugs in their own right, in contrast to dendrimers as drug delivery vehicles or diagnostics. This contextual review describes how dendrimers offer a unique platform for exploring chemical diversity on the nanoscale and how the production of dendrimer libraries covering a…
Reversible photoswitching of individual molecules has been demonstrated for a number of mutants of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). To date, however, a limited number of switching events with slow response to light have been achieved at the single-molecule level. Here, we report reversible photoswitching character…
The underlying physics of the application of low-temperature, low-pressure reactive plasmas in various nanoassembly processes is described. From the viewpoint of the ``cause and effect'' approach, this Colloquium focuses on the benefits and challenges of using plasma-based systems in nanofabrication of nanostructured…
A new method for the growth of nanoporous thin films is described. The process is targeted to the formation of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) through a low-temperature inorganic-filler chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The growth technique employs gas-phase reaction of an alkali metal (Na) and a metal halide (TiCl 4…
Abstract A series of blend films with different ratio of poly(4‐vinylpyridine) (PVP) to lignin were subjected to dynamic DSC and TGA measurement under nitrogen atmosphere at various heating rates. DSC curves showed that the glass transition temperatures of these blends decreased with the increase of lignin content. TG…
Abstract The melt blending method was applied to prepare ternary composites of polypropylene (PP)/organic‐rectorite (OREC)/polyethylene‐octene elastomer (POE) at constant content of 2 phr (parts per hundred PP) of OREC and 5, 10, 15 phr of POE (named PRE25, PRE210, and PRE215, separately) via twin‐screw extruder. At t…
A spin-probe ESR study has been made on the dynamics of 2-propanol and water molecules in the nanochannel of MCM-41 at various temperatures. In the former system, 2-propanol is separated into two phases: one with molecules immobilized in the ESR time scale and the other with mobile ones, even at temperatures more than…
Ternary austenitic model alloys were modified with 0.25 wt.% titanium and irradiated in the Fast Flux Test Reactor (FFTF) at dose rates ranging over more than two orders in magnitude. While lowering of the dose rate strongly increases swelling by shortening the incubation dose, the steady-state swelling rate is not af…
A novel route was proposed to completely coat aluminum borate nanowires by in situ providing the precursor for BN coating. Uniformly BN-coated Al18B4O33 nanowires could be obtained by the reaction of Al4B2O9 nanowires with ammonia at high temperature. The high-temperature unstable Al4B2O9 nanowires were converted into…
Abstract The fracture behavior and deformation mechanism of polypropylene (PP) composites filled with magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH) 2 ] were investigated. The incorporation of Mg(OH) 2 particles into the PP matrix led to an increase in Young's modulus and a significant reduction in the tensile yield strength and elongat…
Abstract The crystallization behavior of a commercial chain‐extended PET (foam grade) was evaluated and compared to that of bottle‐grade PET. Cold and melt isothermal crystallization were analyzed by using the Avrami' model. The foam grade PET showed a slower crystallization kinetic compared to the bottle‐grade PET. T…
The issue of interlayer exchange coupling in magnetic multilayers with a superconducting spacer is addressed in ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.67}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.33}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ (LSMO)-$\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ (YBCO)-${\mathrm{La}}_{0.67}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{0.33}\mathrm{Mn}{\mathrm…
We develop model interaction potentials for elemental selenium based on ab initio molecular simulations and cluster expansion theory. Our potentials are used in classical Monte Carlo simulations to characterize the structure of selenium glass.
The electronic structure and bonding of a realistic model of an intergranular glassy film (IGF) was studied with multiple computational methods. The model has a $\mathrm{Si}--\mathrm{O}--\mathrm{N}$ glassy region sandwiched between crystalline basal planes of $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{\mathrm{Si}}_{3}{\…
Gold nanoparticles of variable sizes have been synthesized in toluene employing two-phase (water-toluene) extraction of AuCl4- followed by its reduction with sodium borohydride in the presence of a series of cationic surfactants of a homologous series having the general formula C(n)TAC. The solubility features of the…
The role of structural defects on the adsorption of NO2 on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is analyzed here by means of both statical density functional theory calculations and Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics and further confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements. The interaction of a NO2 molecule with an ac…
We present a simple analytic model of long single-wall nanotube electro-optical emitters, along with experimental measurements using improved devices with reduced hysteresis. The model describes well the voltage-controlled motion of the emission spot, and provides a clear picture of the physical mechanism of device op…
Two-dimensional PbSe nanocrystal arrays on silicon nitride membranes were investigated using electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Changes in lattice and transport properties upon annealing in a vacuum were revealed. Local charge transport behavior was directly imaged by EFM…
Abstract The phase behavior of blends containing chitosan with poly(vinyl‐alcohol) (PVA) and poly(2‐hidroxyethyl methacrylate) (P2HEM) was analyzed. Blends were obtained by casting from acetic acid solution (HAc) and 1,1,1,3,3,3 hexafluoro‐2‐propanol (HF2P) and studied by DSC, FT‐IR, and TGA. The phase behavior of the…
