Abstract New thermosetting resins for applications of sheet‐molding compounds (SMCs) were successfully synthesized from linseed oil, which is the most molecularly unsaturated of all plant oils. The carbon–carbon double bonds were opened by epoxidation, followed by acrylation, and then maleinization, which provided mor…

The mechanical properties of a model of Y-doped intergranular glassy film in silicon nitride ceramics are studied by large-scale ab initio modeling. By linking directly to its electronic structure, it is shown that this microstructure has a complex nonlinear deformation under stress and Y doping significantly enhances…

Dendronized polymers based on a poly(L-lysine) backbone have been synthesized up to the fourth generation. The hydroxyl-terminated polymers are completely water-soluble, which makes them good candidates for drug delivery applications. The dendronized polypeptide backbones are helical at lower generations, but undergo…

As part of an effort to synthesize a dendronized cellulose, we have synthesized a trifunctional aminoamide derivative, which is the first generation of a dendron substituent. We anticipate that a dendronized cellulose would have applications in complexing metals and could be employed as an adjuvant for drugs. The trif…

Results of a combined photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles density-functional study of SiN- clusters in the size range 20 <or= N <or= 45 are reported and discussed. Evidence for a prolate-to-near-spherical shape transition at N = 27 is presented. It is shown that the tricapped-trigonal-prism (TTP) structura…

Porous scaffolds composed of collagen or collagen and elastin were prepared by freeze drying at temperatures between -18 and -196 degrees C. All scaffolds had a porosity of 90-98% and a homogeneous distribution of pores. Freeze drying at -18 degrees C afforded collagen and collagen/elastin matrices with average pore s…

An analytical molecular mechanics model is established to relate the chirality- and size-dependent elastic properties of a single-walled carbon nanotube to its atomic structure. Properties at different length scales are directly connected by the derived closed-form expressions. The effects of tube chirality and tube d…

We demonstrate the fabrication and operation of a carbon nanotube (CNT) based Schottky diode by using a Pd contact (high-work-function metal) and an Al contact (low-work-function metal) at the two ends of a single-wall CNT. We show that it is possible to tune the rectification current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of…
