We report the synthesis of grafted polystyrene (PS) films on gold via a surface-initiated polymerization strategy. The polymerization proceeded by a “grafted-from” strategy in which the polystyrene grew by free-radical polymerization from a surface-bound photoinitiator. These experiments exploited the spontaneous form…
Structural analysis of the initial steps in protein folding is difficult because of the swiftness with which these steps occur. Hence, the link between initial polypeptide chain collapse and formation of secondary and other specific structures remains poorly understood. Here, an equilibrium model has been developed fo…
A bis-terdentate segmental ligand has been designed which self-assembles with lanthanide ions of different size to yield heterodimetallic triple-stranded helicates.
Polyether-urethanes (PEUs) have been the materials of choice for the manufacture of conventional blood-contacting devices. Nevertheless, biostability and blood compatibility are still among the principal limitations in their long-term application. Studies investigating the development of protective coatings for PEUs h…
Treatment of the octahedral Ru(II)-dimethyl sulfoxide complexes trans-RuCl(2)(dmso-S)(4) (1), trans-RuCl(2)(dmso-O)(2)(CO)(2) (2), and trans-RuCl(2)(dmso)(3)(CO) (3) with a stoichiometric amount of 5,10-bis(4'-pyridyl)-15,20-diphenylporphyrin (4'-cis-DPyP) yields, after chromatographic purification, the novel 2+2 mole…
Grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction data are combined with energy-minimization calculations to analyse the atomic structure of the Al-rich (3sqrt{3} x 3sqrt{3})R 30 deg reconstructed surface of sapphire alpha-Al_2O_3(0001). The experiments on the BM32 beamline of the ESRF provide the non-integer-order diffraction inte…
Pinning and depinning of wavefronts are ubiquitous features of spatially discrete systems describing a host of phenomena in physics, biology, etc. A large class of discrete systems is described by overdamped chains of nonlinear oscillators with nearest-neighbor coupling and controlled by constant external forces. A th…
The Kroemer model for the Gunn effect in a circular geometry (Corbino disks) has been numerically solved. The results have been interpreted by means of asymptotic calculations. Above a certain onset dc voltage bias, axisymmetric pulses of the electric field are periodically shed by an inner circular cathode. These pul…
Positron lifetime, Photoluminescence and Hall measurements were performed to study undoped p-type gallium antimonide materials. A 314ps lifetime component, attributed to $V_{Ga}$ related defect, was identified in the positron lifetime measurement. In the PL measurement, a $778meV$ and a $797meV$ peaks were observed. I…
Two silver-impregnated activated carbons (SIACs) (0.05 and 1.05 wt % silver) and their virgin (i.e., unimpregnated) granular activated carbon (GAC) precursors were investigated for their ability to remove and sequester iodide from aqueous solutions in a series of batch sorption and leaching experiments. Silver content…

The vapochromic and vapoluminescent compound Pt(CN-p-(C(2)H(5))C(6)H(4))(2)(CN)(2) (abbreviated PtC(2)) is conveniently synthesized by the thermal rearrangement of [Pt(CN-p-(C(2)H(5))C(6)H(4))(4)][Pt(CN)(4)]. Recrystallization of PtC(2) gives a crystalline orange morph (O-PtC(2)) and an amorphous purple morph (P-PtC(2…
Evidences of a monoclinic phase in unpoled $({\mathrm{PbMg}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}{)}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\ensuremath{-}({\mathrm{PbTiO}}_{3}{)}_{x}$ with $x=0.35$ (PMN-PT 35%) and unpoled $({\mathrm{PbZn}}_{1/3}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{2/3}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}{)}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\ensuremath{-}({\mathrm{PbTiO}}_{…
Abstract A main‐chain phosphorus‐containing diepoxide, bis‐glycidyloxy phenylphosphate (BGPP), was synthesized, then blended with various contents of a 4,4′‐diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)‐type epoxy resin, DER 331. The curing reactions of the blended resins with diethyltriamine (DETA) and the thermal propertie…
Abstract Al(OH) 3 /polypropylene (PP) composites modified by in situ ‐functionalized polypropylene (FPP) were prepared by a one‐step melt‐extrusion process. The effect of in situ FPP on the crystallization and melting behavior, melt‐flow index, limiting oxygen index, thermal degradation, mechanical properties, and fra…
Hg2Os2O7 has been synthesised by direct reaction of HgO, OsO4 and Os metal at 500 °C. The product adopts the pyrochlore structure, in common with Cd2Os2O7, but exhibits a slightly larger lattice parameter at 10.245 Å. The material shows a weak transition to antiferromagnetic behaviour below 88 K; the compound remains…
We have developed a new, extremely sensitive real-space technique (intensity fluctuation microscopy) to probe the order of the nematic-smectic-A (NA) transition. Using this technique, we show that the NA transition in 4'-n-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (8CB) is clearly first order, contrary to calorimetric studies but in agre…
Abstract Swelling and dissolution behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films during unidimensional penetration of methyl ethyl ketone/methyl alcohol (MEK/MA) liquid mixtures at 22°C is presented. Optical microscopy and two‐beam interferometry were applied to clamped PMMA films to obtain information on penetrat…
Molecular dynamics simulations were employed in bulk polyisobutylene, to provide a detailed characterization of the methyl dynamics and to examine its relation to the β-relaxation as described by different experimental techniques. The simulation results were compared to new 13 C NMR measurements probing methyl motion…
Ultrathin films of titanium (hydr)oxide with precise control over film thickness (via number of cycles) can be prepared by the alternate adsorption of an organic polyelectrolyte and a titanium lactate complex, followed by calcination. Thereafter, the layer appears to be composed of nanometer-sized particles with a fus…
