Top-gate thin film transistors with n-type ZnO active channel were performed under 230°C. Especially, ZnO film was deposited by a combined method of sol-gel and chemical bath deposition without any preactivation for film growth. Silicon nitride and indium tin oxide were used as the gate insulator and the conducting el…
A pH-sensitive PEGylated nanogel was prepared by emulsion copolymerization of 2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (EAMA) with heterobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) bearing a 4-vinylbenzyl group at the α-end and a carboxylic acid group at the ω-end (CH2CH–Ph–PEG–COOH; Mn = 8000) in the presence of potassium persu…
We have constructed supramolecular solar cells composed of a series of porphyrin–peptide oligomers [porphyrin functionalized α-polypeptides, P(H2P)n or P(ZnP)n (n = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16)], and fullerenes assembled on a nanostructured SnO2 electrode using an electrophoretic deposition method. Remarkable enhancement in the ph…
Diffractive slanted gratings are manufactured onto plastic light guides using a high refractive index material and UV replication technology. We show that the manufacturing of such components is possible in large quantities. The applications of the slanted gratings are a high efficiency light in- and outcoupling with…
Re(I) complexes are applied as catalysts for the dehydro-coupling of Me2NH.BH3 and the transfer-hydrogenation of olefins.
Composite electrodes were prepared by adding (LSF) into porous yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and their performance was studied as a function of time and calcination temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the LSF-YSZ composites indicated an expanded lattice parameter after calcination above , suggesting th…
This report reviews the role of palladium dendrimers in catalysis as (a) soluble macromolecules for the support of catalysts, that are separable by nanofiltration techniques; (b) ligand-modifiers that can create specific metal nanoenvironments and tune the solubility of the catalyst; (c) spacers for the support of mol…
The study of adsorption and dissociation of molecular hydrogen on single crystal Au(111) and Au(001) surfaces, monoatomic rows in an extended line defect and different Au nanoparticles by means of DF calculations allows us to firmly conclude that the necessary and sufficient condition for H2 dissociation is the existe…
The conduction type (n- or p-type) of electrochemically deposited cuprous oxide can be controlled by solution pH. It was found that cuprous oxides deposited at solution pH below 7.5 are n-type semiconductors, while cuprous oxides deposited at a solution pH above 9.0 are p-type semiconductors. A two-step process was ad…
The synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of [Co(II)(4)Co(III)(3)(HL)(6)(NO(3))(3)(H(2)O)(3)](2+) [H(3)L = H(2)NC(CH(2)OH)(3)] are reported: the complex is an exchange-biased single molecule magnet.
Functionalized carbon nanotubes are more favorable for the desired homogeneous dispersion of exfoliated nanotubes as nanoscale fillers in polymeric nanocomposites. However, the compatibility of the large amount of functional groups necessary for the nanotube functionalization with the polymeric matrices is critical to…
We used Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation to model the hydrogen storage in the primitive, gyroid, diamond, and quasi-periodic icosahedral nanoporous carbon materials and in carbon nanotubes. We found that none of the investigated nanoporous carbon materials satisfy the US Department of Energy goal of volumetric d…

Biomimetic, or biologically inspired, design uses analogous biological phenomena to develop solutions for engineering problems. Several instances of biomimetic design result from personal observations of biological phenomena. However, many engineers' knowledge of biology may be limited, thus reducing the potential of…
We report for the first time a simple low-cost electrochemical route to synthesis of diameter-controlled hierarchical flowerlike gold microstructures with "clean" surfaces using gold nanoplates or nanopricks as building blocks without introducing any template or surfactant.
Polymer matrix-TiO2 composites were prepared in three different filler concentrations. The electrical relaxation dynamics as well as the electrical conductivity of all samples were examined by means of Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) over a wide frequency and temperature range. The recorded relaxation response…
The corrosion behavior of CoCrMo alloy in simulated body fluids has been analyzed by electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. Interaction of albumin and phosphates present in the body fluids on the passive film of the alloy was also investigated. Electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic and potentios…
The external quantum efficiency of solar cells can be improved by using texturing pyramid- and honeycomb-like structures with minimum reflection. In this study, we investigated the reflection properties of texturing structures through rigorous coupled-wave analysis and the three-dimensional finite-difference time doma…
The multivalent character of dendrimers has positioned these well-defined, highly branched macromolecules at the forefront in the development of new contrast agents for biomedical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By modifying the periphery of the dendrimer with gadolinium(III) chelates, the relaxivity of the resultin…
Pure phase Zn 2 Ge O 4 was fabricated by solid state reactions and the products were annealed in various atmospheres, such as O 2 , air, N 2 , vacuum, Zn, and Ge. The material was a native defect phosphor presenting white-bluish emission and its photoluminescence was about 40% brighter than that of the commercial ZnO…
