Abstract In this research, a flame‐retardant water‐dispersed polyurethane resin was synthesized through incorporating phosphonate groups into the polyurethane structure in the chain‐extension step. A phosphorus‐containing reactive flame‐retardant compound was synthesized for this purpose. First, bis(4‐nitrophenyl)phen…
In contrast to the conventional photoorientation process with blue light, an orientation of 4-cyano-4‘-alkoxyazobenzene side groups parallel to the electric field vector of the incident light is generated upon irradiating films of a liquid-crystalline side-chain polymer with linearly polarized red light. The polyester…
The chemisorption of atomic hydrogen on the single-walled armchair and zigzag carbon nanotubes is studied with ab initio calculations. The binding energy of H adsorption at the exterior of the nanotubes is much greater than that at the interior. We predict that two rows of H atoms chemisorbed on selective sites exteri…
Abstract Fly ash, a waste productof thermal power stations generated in huge quantities, has been posing problems of its disposal. As such it contains a variety of inorganic oxides and is available in finely powdered form. Attempts have been made for its use as a filler in elastomers and plastics. It is important to n…
Carrier-doping effects on the structural phase transitions in ${\mathrm{SrTiO}}_{3}$ are investigated by the first-principles calculations. It is found that the instabilities of the cubic phase to both the ${\mathrm{TiO}}_{6}$-octahedron rotated phase and the ferroelectric phase are modulated characteristically by the…
The novel conjugated polymer ( 12 ) which has [2.2]paracyclophane and ferrocene units in the polymer backbone was synthesized by palladium-catalyzed polycondensation of the monomer ( 10 ) with diiodoferrocene ( 11 ). The obtained polymer ( 12 ) was soluble in common organic solvents, and the structure of 12 was confir…
The room temperature photoluminescence property of ZnO particles embedded in sol–gel silica was investigated. Three ZnO emissions at about 3.25 eV (ultraviolet (UV)), 2.8 eV (blue), and 2.45 eV (green) were observed. The blue and green emissions were ascribed to interstitial zinc and oxygen vacancy defects in ZnO. At…
High-pressure micro-discharges are promising sources of light, ions, and radicals and offer some advantages in materials processing applications as compared to other more conventional discharges. We review here results from etching experiments using stencil masks where the discharge is formed only in the pattern cutou…
Physicochemical, binding, and antibacterial properties of chitosans prepared without and with deproteinization (DP) process (5, 10, 15, and 30 min at 15 psi/121 degrees C) were compared. Chitosan from DP 0 min had comparable nitrogen content, lower degree of deacetylation and solubility, but higher molecular weight an…
The thermal stability and folding kinetics of a 15-residue beta-hairpin (SESYINPDGTWTVTE) have been studied by using infrared (IR) spectroscopy coupled with laser-induced temperature-jump (T-jump) technique for rapid folding-unfolding initiation. An alternative method based on analyzing IR difference spectra was also…
Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/silica nanocomposites were fabricated by direct polymerizing PET monomer dispersed with organic modified silica nanoparticles. The characteristics and properties of these nanocomposites were investigated by the transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorime…
Lattice effects in a cerium based clathrate compound ${\mathrm{Ce}}_{3}{\mathrm{Pd}}_{20}{\mathrm{Ge}}_{6}$ with a cubic ${\mathrm{Cr}}_{23}{\mathrm{C}}_{6}$-type structure have been investigated by ultrasonic and thermal expansion measurements. Elastic softenings of ${(C}_{11}\ensuremath{-}{C}_{12})/2$ and ${C}_{44}$…
Three-dimensional porphyrin-monolayer-protected gold clusters with different chain lengths (MPCs) have been prepared to examine the structure and photophysical properties, in comparison with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of the porphyrins on a flat gold surface. The three-dimensional porphyrin MPCs exhibit electroc…

Diblock copolymer polyelectrolyte brushes of either polystyrene (PS) or poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were synthesized using sequential monomer addition from a tethered 2-bromoisobutyrate initiator. Si/SiO 2 //PS- b -poly( tert -butyl acrylate) (P( t -BA)) and Si/SiO 2 //PMA- b -P(t-BA) were…
Conventional replacement therapies for heart valve disease are associated with significant drawbacks. The field of tissue engineering has emerged as an exciting alternative in the search for improved heart valve replacement structures. One of the principles behind this concept is the transplantation of living elements…
Abstract The results of flame retardance and thermal stability of a reactively modified organo‐phosphorus diglycidylether of bisphenol‐A and an organo‐phosphorus tetraglycidyl diaminodiphenylmethane are reported here. The organo‐phosphorus epoxy resins were synthesized by the reaction of 9,10‐dihydro‐9‐oxa‐10‐phosphap…
Colloidal particles are capable of stabilizing emulsions and, thus, slowing or preventing their complete breakdown into phase-separated systems. Direct observations of the dynamics of such particles on both water and oil droplets are reported as two colloid-laden interfaces are brought into contact with each other. As…
Effects of the nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction on nanographene ribbons with zigzag edges are investigated using the extended Hubbard model within the unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation. The nearest Coulomb interaction stabilizes an electronic state with the opposite electric charges separated and localized a…
We present quantitative three-dimensional real space measurements by confocal microscopy on fluorescently labelled and sterically stabilized dispersions of polymethylmethacrylate spheres dispersed in index and density-matched solvent mixtures with a relative dielectric constant 5<ε r <10 . In this new model system Deb…
