A novel 2,7-carbazole monomer unit was synthesized and used to prepare two poly(2,7-carbazole)s, both of which were obtained in relatively high molecular weight and display excellent solubility in common organic solvents. The polymers were able to effectively disperse carbon nanotube bundles in both THF and toluene us…
We have investigated the structure and chemical state of size-selected platinum nanoparticles (NPs) prepared by micelle encapsulation and supported on γ-Al 2 O 3 during the oxidation of methanol under oxygen-rich reaction conditions following both oxidative and reductive pretreatments. X-ray absorption near-edge struc…
The adsorption and subsequent dissociative reaction of methanol (CH3OH) on clean ZnO(101¯0) surface were investigated using the density functional theory methods and the periodic slab models. There are three adsorption modes of methanol were investigated. Among the two initially-stable adsorbed CH3OH structures, the p…
With alkali lignin and PVA as the primary materials, glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker, and glycerin as the plasticizer, alkali lignin/PVA cross-linking reaction film was prepared by casting. The process conditions were evaluated one at a time for different variables. Mechanical properties of the composite film were…
Steam is commonly used in polymer bead foam sintering due to its high heat transfer capacity. However, the pressure loss unavoidable during flow through the beads causes a temperature decrease and thereby negatively affects the sintering behavior. In order to reduce the sensitivity of the temperature to the pressure v…
We report on a novel method to fabricate single, multiple and large-area high-density ensembles of nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in synthetic type Ib bulk diamond by femtosecond laser illumination. Electron beams generated in propagation of intense infrared laser pulses in air sputtered on a diamond sample under…
In this report, the use of zeolite 13X as a template to generate ultrahigh surface area carbons, via a two-step process combining liquid impregnation and chemical vapour deposition is explored. The first step in the nanocasting process involves impregnation of zeolite 13X with furfuryl alcohol and the second step cons…
This report addresses a density functional theory study of the vibrational normal modes of small-sized thiolate-protected gold clusters. Calculated far-infrared (far-IR) and low-frequency Raman spectra of established thiolate-protected gold clusters (4, 12, 18, 19, 20, 24, and 25 Au atoms) show characteristic peaks in…
We report on the optical constants and their dispersion profiles determined from spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analysis of the 20%-titanium (Ti) doped of tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films grown by sputter-deposition. The Ti-doped WO3 films grown in a wide range of temperatures (25-500 °C) are amorphous and optically t…
Ag-N-codoped zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a one-step impregnation of Ag in N-doped ZnO nanoparticles. The morphologies and structures of the as-synthesized nanomaterials were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometric techniques.…
Surfaces that exhibit reversible wettability toward water are extremely important for a variety of technological applications. In this context, the development of superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic surfaces for self-cleaning applications has been receiving a great deal of attention in the last few years. In this re…
The electronic structures of Zr0.5Hf0.5NiSn and the parent compounds ZrNiSn and HfNiSn are investigated by using first-principles calculations, and the thermoelectric properties are calculated on the base of the semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory and the empirical thermal conductivity model. The temperature dep…
Molecular beacons are typically water-soluble molecules that can convert specific chemical reactions or binding events into measurable optical signals, providing a noninvasive means to help understand cellular and subcellular activities at the molecular level. However, the soluble form of the current molecular beacon…
Dural closure after the neurosurgery can prevent postoperative complications. Although many types of dural substitute have been developed, most of them lack functional and structural characteristics compared with the natural dura mater. In this study, we used electrospinning method to fabricate a multilayer scaffold t…
Merging different components into a single nanoparticle can exhibit profound impact on various biomedical applications including diagnostics, imaging, and therapy. However, retaining the unique properties of each component after integration has proven to be a significant challenge. Our previous research demonstrated t…
The plane-wave density functional theory code CASTEP was used with the Tkatchenko-Scheffler van der Waals correction scheme and the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof (GGA PBE) to calculate the binding energy of Au, Cr, and Al atoms on the armchair and zigzag edge binding sites of monol…
Recently, there has been significant progress in the field of soft- and hard-X-ray imaging for a wide range of applications, both technically and scientifically, via developments in sources, optics and imaging methodologies. While one community is pursuing extensive applications of available X-ray tools, others are in…
We have investigated the cathodoluminescence (CL) emission and the Raman spectra along individual ZnO nanorods grown by a catalyst-free method. The spatial correlation between the CL emission and the defect related Raman modes permits establishing a correspondence between the non-radiative recombination centres (NRRCs…
Ganging up against the bad guys: Nanofibers of 1 efficiently inhibited the growth of glioblastoma cells but exhibited little acute toxicity toward a neuronal cell line. The selective cytotoxicity probably stems from the Warburg effect of cancer cells and the existence of microtubule-stabilizing proteins in neurons. Su…
In polymer processing operations, the molten polymer chains are frequently subjected to shear or/and elongation flow fields, which will produce molecular chain orientation of the melt. This leads to the orientation-induced crystallization has been an important subject in the field of polymer physics. Systematic studie…
