The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on surfaces of dental enamel and of dental materials was investigated by scanning force spectroscopy. This method provides adhesion forces which can be measured as a function of contact time between protein and surface, pH, wettability, and isoelectric point of the surface.…
BACKGROUND: Coronary bypass graft failure as a result of acute thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia has been the major challenge in surgical procedures involving small-diameter vascular prosthesis. Coating synthetic grafts with patients' own endothelial cells has been suggested to improve the patency rate and overall su…
Hydride transfer from dihydronicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) analogs to a manganese(IV)-oxo porphyrin complex, (TMP)Mn(IV)(O) [TMP = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)porphyrin], occurs via disproportionation of (TMP)Mn(IV)(O) to [(TMP)Mn(III)](+) and [(TMP)Mn(V)(O)](+) that acts as the actual hydride…
The synthesis and characterization of a new PEDOT-carbon composite prepared using a microporous carbon template are described. The electrochemical behavior of this composite, as well as that of three other colloidal materials-PEDOT-silica, PEDOT, and microporous carbon particles-is investigated with respect to their s…
The preparation, characterization, and application in oxidation reactions of new biomimetic catalysts are reported. Brazilian Sao Simao kaolinite clay has been functionalized with [meso-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphinato]iron(III), Fe(TPFPP). To obtain the functionalized clay, the natural clay was purified by dispe…
Two new cobalt(II) complexes of formula [Co(2)(bta)(H(2)O)(6)](n) x 2nH(2)O (1) and [Co(phda)(H(2)O)](n) x nH(2)O (2) [H(4)bta = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, H(2)phda = 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid] have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is a one-dimensional compound where the bt…
Abstract Biodegradable polymeric composites were fabricated from poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and kenaf fiber (KF) by melt mixing technique. The mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties, morphology and crystallization behavior were investigated for PBS/KF composites with different KF contents (0, 10, 20, and 30…
Fatigue crack initiation in titanium alloys is typically accompanied by the formation of planar, faceted features on the fracture surface. In the present study, quantitative tilt fractography, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and the focused ion beam (FIB) have been used to provide a direct link between facet…
TiC as a novel catalyst was used in preparing TiC-doped sodium aluminum hydride by ball-milling NaH/Al mixture or NaAlH 4 with TiC powder under a hydrogen atmosphere. It is found that TiC-doped NaH/Al composite absorbs 4.77 wt % hydrogen at 120 °C, desorbs more than 80% hydrogen of its initial hydrogen capacity at 155…
We present an analytical theory for the gate electrostatics and the classical and quantum capacitance of the graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) and compare it with the exact self-consistent numerical calculations based on the tight-binding $p$-orbital Hamiltonian within the Hartree approximation. We demonstrate that the anal…
Four separate coprecipitation routes were applied to the preparation of Ni x Mn 1− x (OH) 2 mixed hydroxides with x = 1, 5/6, 2/3, 1/2, 1/3, and 0, beginning with divalent nitrates. The structure and morphology of the samples were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Intentionally…
A large body of spectroscopic data on the cuprate high temperature superconductors (CHTSC) is reviewed in order to determine their order parameter. ASJ, INS, B2g Raman spectra, optical data, NIS "dips", ARPES "dips" and ARPES "kinks" all show the same excitation energy (40 meV for OP95 systems), proportional to the su…
We theoretically study the phase of the reflection amplitude of an electron (massive Dirac fermion) at a lateral potential step in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene. The phase shows anomalous jump of $π$, as the electron incidence angle (relative to the normal direction to the step) varies to pass $\pm π/4$. The jump is…
A record Co36 cluster is prepared. This mixed-valent compound containing CoII and CoIII centers is formed in the reaction of a dinuclear cobalt pivalate species with the polydentate 2,3-dicarboxypyrazine ligand. In terms of magnetic properties it behaves as a {Co16–Co16} supramolecular dimer in which the S=4 spin grou…
With the growing availability of cheap and fast computing resources, increasingly detailed and sophisticated computational studies of homogeneous organometallic catalysis have become feasible. In addition, databases of calculated descriptors can be used to analyse and interpret the key factors contributing to a wide r…
Disulfide-functionalized hyperbranched poly(amido amine)s (HPAMAMs) were synthesized by Michael addition polymerization of N,N'-cystaminebisacrylamide and 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine. The novel HPAMAMs displayed bright fluorescence, and the emissions bands cover nearly the whole visible wavelength range. When polymer s…
In this paper, we report a facile method to produce large-area periodical bowl-like cobalt oxide (Co 3 O 4 ) array films based on a self-assembled monolayer polystyrene sphere template and electrodeposition. After the template is removed, the resulting Co 3 O 4 films consist of periodic, interconnected networks of mon…
BACKGROUND: Fish collagen has been paid increasing attention as an alternative to the mammalian counterpart owing to the abundance of fish skin as a processing by-product. Generally, the low yield of collagen extracted using the typical acid solubilisation process has led to the use of mammalian pepsin as an aid for i…
Large, hydrophilic inorganic ions (mostly polyoxometalate macroions and cationic metal-organic hybrid nanocages) with high solubility in water and/or other polar solvents demonstrate unique solution behaviors. In dilute solutions, they behave significantly different from small simple ions (as described by the Debye-Hü…
This work discusses optical singularities and electrical conductivity behavior in a thin electrooptical cell filled with composites including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and nematic liquid crystal (LC). The MWCNTs with high aspect ratio $L/d\approx 300\div1000$ and nematic LC 5CB (4-pentyl-4-0-cyanobiphenyl…
