Poly[(organo)phosphazenes] are a unique class of extremely versatile polymers with a range of applications including tissue engineering and drug delivery, as hydrogels, shape memory polymers and as stimuli responsive materials. This review aims to divulge the basic principles of designing polyphosphazenes for drug and…
Molecular self-assembly is widely appreciated to result from a delicate balance between several noncovalent interactions and solvation effects. However, current design approaches for achieving self-assembly in water with small, synthetic molecules do not consider all aspects of the hydrophobic effect, in particular th…
Graphitic carbon nitride ($g$-C${}_{3}$N${}_{4}$) has recently triggered extensive investigations due to its potential applications, such as in direct photochemical water splitting, CO${}_{2}$ activation, and transition-metal-free spintronics. However, electronic, and particularly the optical properties of $g$-C${}_{3…
Janus or anisotropic colloidal particles comprising of at least two components of different chemistry, functionality, and/or polarity have attracted attentions in a wide range of applications, e.g., in optics, magnetics, plasmonics, colloidal chemistry, and biomedicine. The interesting features of Janus colloidal part…
A central challenge for printed electronics is to achieve high operating frequencies (short transistor switching times) at low supply biases compatible with thin film batteries. In this report, we demonstrate partially printed five-stage ring oscillators with >20 kHz operating frequencies and stage delays <5 μs at sup…
Ternary metal chalcogenides such as CuInS2 offer new opportunities to design quantum dot solar cells (QDSC). Chemically synthesized CuInS2 quantum dots (particle diameter, 2.6 nm) have been successfully deposited within the mesoscopic TiO2 film using electrophoretic deposition (150 V cm(-1) dc field). The primary phot…
Silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) are attractive functional materials. They are compatible with standard electronics and communications platforms and are biocompatible. Numerous methods have been developed to realize size-controlled Si NC synthesis. While these procedures produce Si NCs that appear identical, their optica…
We propose metamaterials for THz frequencies based on multilayer graphene structures. We calculate the dielectric permittivity tensor of the effective nonlocal medium with a periodic stack of graphene layers and demonstrate that tuning from elliptic to hyperbolic dispersion can be achieved with an external gate voltag…
Considerable efforts have been devoted to the development of novel functionalized nanomaterials for bio-oriented applications. With unique optical properties and molar scale production, colloidal photoluminescent quantum dots (QDs) have been properly functionalized with controlled interfaces as new class of optical pr…
Graphene has emerged as an outstanding material for optoelectronic applications due to its high electronic mobility and unique doping capabilities. Here we demonstrate electrical tunability and hybridization of plasmons in graphene nanodisks and nanorings down to 3.7 μm light wavelength. By electrically doping pattern…
Domain swapping is an interesting feature of some oligomeric proteins in which each protomer of the oligomer provides an identical surface for exclusive interaction with a segment or domain belonging to another protomer. Here we report results of mutagenesis experiments on the structure of C-terminal helix swapped dim…
A series of UV‐curable B/F/Si‐containing hybrid coatings was prepared by the anhydrous sol‐gel technique. The chemical structure of the coatings was characterized by FTIR , RTIR , and 1 HNMR techniques. The UV ‐curable coatings were applied to polycarbonate substrates. The physical and mechanical properties of the UV…
Epitaxial grown Gallium nitride ( GaN ) thin film on sapphire was irradiated with Cu ions at various fluences (5×10 14 , 1 ×10 15 and 5×10 15 cm -2 ). The level of lattice disorder, as measured by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and channeling (RBS/C), gradually increases with the increasing of ions fluence. La…
Tritium (T) retention constitutes an outstanding constraint for ITER. It has been proposed that the end of the discharge could be used for reducing the amount of tritium trapped in the device by switching to He or H 2 injection during the ∼200 s of plasmas following the burning phase (power and plasma current ramp dow…
In this study, the effect of nanoclay on the rheological and morphological properties of polyamide 6 (PA6)/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) blends was investigated. The scanning electron microscopy micrographs showed that with increment in the nanoclay content, the dispersed phase droplets size and their polydisp…
Even under heated conditions, the nearly native conformation and activity of a protein can be hoarded in a functionalized nanoporous support via non-covalent interaction. Surprisingly, the protein released from the heated protein-nanoporous composite can maintain its nearly native conformation and activity, while free…
The present study aimed to investigate the anticancer effect of a C21‑steroidal glycoside (CG) isolated from the roots of Cynanchum auriculatum. CG was able to inhibit the growth of human cancer cells (SGC‑7901 cells) in a concentration and time‑dependent manner in vitro. SGC‑7901 cells exposed to CG (10.8 and 21.6 µM…
[Halloysite nanotubes ( HNT )]‐filled and kaolin filled composite films based on poly(vinyl alcohol) ( PVA )/chitosan ( CS ) blend were prepared via solution casting method. Tensile properties, fracture morphology, FTIR spectra, thermal stability, swelling properties, moisture absorption, and oxidative degradation of…
Abstract Incorporation of surface modified TiO 2 nanoparticles into polystyrene (PS) matrix was achieved by in situ bulk radical polymerization of styrene. The surface of TiO 2 nanoparticles was modified with four amphiphilic esters of the gallic acid (octyl, decyl, lauryl and cetyl gallate), which have different leng…
The selective solvent extraction of a LLDPE nanocomposite, prepared by using a LLDPE functionalized with maleic anhydride and an organo-modified montmorillonite (OMMT), allowed the separation of two fractions containing different contents of the starting OMMT and characterized by different morphological, dynamical, an…
