The potential of preliminary silylation for the determination of numbers of hydroxyl groups in separate molecules of oligomeric silsesquioxanes by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation mass spectrometry has been demonstrated for the first time. Derivatisations allowing the introduction of trimethylsilyl, tert-bu…
Abstract Water‐soluble multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were prepared via surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 2‐(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) from carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The success of the surface functionalization of MWNTs with poly(2‐(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosp…
The C-terminal copper-binding loop in the beta-barrel fold of the cupredoxin azurin has been replaced with a range of sequences containing alanine, glycine, and valine residues to assess the importance of amino acid composition and the length of this region. The introduction of 2 and 4 alanines between the coordinatin…
New insights into the mechanism of thermal reactions of alkenes with hydrogen terminated silicon are presented. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging at the early stages of the reaction of 1-decene with H/Si(111) at 150 degrees C confirm this reaction occurs via a propagating radical chain mechanism. In addition…
The aim of this research was to synthesize magnesium oxide nanoparticles and to use them as cure activator for polychloroprene rubber (CR). The effects of counterions of magnesium salts on the homogeneous phase precipitation reaction to control size, monodispersity, crystallinity, and morphology of Mg(OH)2 nanoparticl…
We have investigated the origin of the optical zero-transmission regions in different kinds of highly symmetric quasicrystal structures. We report on the possibility of reproducing the same optical characteristics by using some of the constituent parts of the quasicrystals, arranged in standard photonic crystal geomet…
Polycarbonate membranes (PCM) of various pores sizes (400, 200, 100 and 50 nm) were used as templates for gold deposition. The electrodeposition from gold ions resulted in the formation of gold nanotubes when large pores size PCMs (400 and 200 nm) were used. On the other hand, gold nanowires were predominant for the P…
We elaborate the size controlled synthesis of nano-spheres and nano-crystals of WO3 by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The as-deposited particles are predominantly spherical in shape and tend to exhibit less agglomeration and a decrease in diameter as the process temperature is increased. Characterization was carried out…
The liquid-vapor phase diagrams for square-well fluid with extremely short attractive well, lambda=1.05 and 1.1, are obtained by means of canonical Monte Carlo simulations. These new results show that the coexistence curves obey the law of corresponding states in the similar form as several proteins do. Besides, the c…
Nano-nickel-zinc-indium ferrite (NZIFO)(Ni0.58Zn0.42InxFe2−xO4) with varied quantities of indium (x=0,0.1,0.2) have been synthesized via reverse micelle technique. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the size, structure, and morphology of the nanoferrites. The addition of indium in nickel-…
Proteases act in important homeostatic pathways and are tightly regulated. Here, we report an unusual structural mechanism of regulation observed by the 2.5-A X-ray crystal structure of the serine protease, granzyme C. Although the active-site triad residues adopt canonical conformations, the oxyanion hole is improper…
High crystallinity and controlled porosity are advantageous for many applications such as energy conversion and power generation. Despite many efforts in the last decades, the direct synthesis of organic-inorganic composite materials with crystalline transition metal oxides is still a major challenge. In general, mole…
In this paper, nanostructure MnO2 was synthesized in aqueous solution, without using any templates, catalysts, and organic reagents. The as-prepared nano-MnO2 was systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analysis…
The ability to tune the magnetic properties of magnetic nanoparticles by manipulating the composition or surface properties of the nanoparticles is important for exploiting the application of the nanomaterials. This report describes preliminary findings of an investigation of the viability of synthesizing MnZn ferrite…
A model is proposed for a device combining a multiferroic tunnel junction with a magnetoelectric (ME) film in which the magnetic configuration is controlled by the electric field. Calculations embodying the Green's function approach show that the magnetic polarization can be switched on and off by an electric field in…
The thermochemical and structural stability of complex perovskites A 1- x A′ x B 1- y - z B′ y B′′ z O 3±δ (A, A′ = La, Sr and B, B′, B′′ = Ni, Mn, Fe, Co) was explored in H 2 −Ar atmosphere (5% H 2 −95% Ar) in a wide temperature range by thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, XRD, and HRTEM. All p…
This article reports the development of fibers from starch acetates that have mechanical properties and water stability better than most polysaccharide-based biomaterials and protein fibers used in tissue engineering. In this research, starch acetates with three different degrees of substitution (DS) have been used to…
Nd-Fe-B/Nd(-O) interfaces were prepared by thin film technique for the investigation of relationship between interfacial state and coercivity. A Nd-Fe-B layer was deposited by UHV magnetron sputtering and the film was oxidized under low vacuum conditions. On the oxidized Nd-Fe-B layer, a Nd layer was deposited and the…
Thin films of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)/atactic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (ataPHB) blends with different miscibility were prepared and characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The DSC analysis suggested that the blend thin films exhibited different phase structures,…
