The reversible proton dissociation and geminate recombination of a photoacid was studied in peptide-based hydrogels over a large concentration range of the self-assembled peptide nanotube (PNT) network. 8-Hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate trisodium salt (HPTS) was used as the photoacid. We found that the proton transfe…

A series of hexadentate ditopic receptors incorporating benzimidazole moieties have been designed, which are fitted with phosphonic acid or phosphoethylester coordinating units. In addition, poly(oxyethylene) pendants have been introduced on the benzimidazole backbone of two ligands to increase water solubility. The l…

Electrochemical reduction of a solid TiO 2 −ZrO 2 mixture (molar ratio = 1:1) to the TiZr alloys in a consolidated porous structure was studied by constant cell voltage electrolysis in molten CaCl 2 at 900 °C. For the first time, and surprisingly, it was found that tuning the α- and β-phases in the TiZr alloys could b…

We show that the high-molecular weight (HMW) protein aggregate of fish otolith matrix is involved in the regulation of crystal polymorphs during otolith biomineralization. Teleost fish otoliths are biominerals that contain calcium carbonate aragonite or vaterite crystals. In a previous study, we identified a novel pro…

This study presents an optically controllable fiber-optic attenuator consisting of side-polished fiber (SPF) with a photoresponsive liquid crystal (LC) overlay operating in the telecommunication wavelength. Attenuation is controlled by a photochemical-induced phase transition of photoresponsive LC, which modulates the…

Abstract Single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are a promising material for future nanotechnology. However, their applications are still limited in success because of the co‐existence of metallic SWNTs and semiconducting SWNTs produced samples. Here, electrochemical etching, which shows both diameter and electrical s…

Dissipative particle dynamics simulations of a mesoscale model are performed to investigate the concentration dependence of surfactant adsorption on small-diameter carbon nanotubes and their bundles. Adsorption is found to follow fundamentally different mechanisms in the two cases because of the heterogeneity of the b…

Abstract Blends were made from linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) and various amounts of soya powder. The soya powder content was varied from 5 to 20 wt%. Polyethylene‐ g ‐(maleic anhydride) (PE‐ g ‐MA) was used as a compatibilizer. Tensile strength and elongation at break (EB) decreased with increasing soya powd…

Finite-size effects become significant in nanoscale materials. When a nanocrystal is surrounded by a host matrix of a different nature, the perfection of the crystal structure is distorted by the interface formed between the nanocrystal and the matrix. The larger the surface-to-volume ratio of the nanocrystal, the hig…
