The synthesis and self-assembling properties of C3 symmetric donor–acceptor molecules containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole and bisthiophene moieties in the core functionalized with octyl (BTOX8) and dodecyl (BTOX12) substituted phenyl acetylene units at the periphery are reported. BTOX8 was found to form gels only in aliphatic…
The sixth generation ( g = 6) dendronized polymer (DP) PG6 was synthesized on a 2 g scale with P n ∼ 500 in 60% chemical yield and with a coverage degree of 87–90% using a recently developed “ n + 2” approach from its structurally virtually perfect, deprotected g = 4 congener de PG4 . This synthesis represents the fir…
In certain real situations, polymer networks cannot swell freely but are subjected to constraints by action of external forces or geometric restrictions. In this contribution, the restriction to swelling by adhesion of a cross-linked polymer film deposited on a rigid substrate is considered. Such constraints prevent s…
Proper waste management in Malaysia is needed for the organic wastes such as pineapple leaf and cassava peel where affects the increase the amount of solid waste dump into landfill. Thus, to overcome this problem agro waste material can be constructed in many production industries to commercialize the use of alternati…
We examine the accuracy of dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations of polymers in dilute solutions with hydrodynamic interaction (HI), at the theta point, modeled by setting the DPD conservative interaction between beads to zero. We compare the first normal-mode relaxation time extracted from the DPD simulatio…
Hecogenin is a steroidal sapogenin largely drawn from the plants of the genus Agave, commonly known as 'sisal', and is one of the important precursors used by the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of steroid hormones. Hecogenin acetate (HA) is a steroidal sapogenin-acetylated that produces antinociceptive acti…
A dual-band quarter-wave plate based on a modified extraordinary transmission hole array is numerically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated at terahertz frequencies. To control independently orthogonal polarizations, the original square holes are connected with vertical slits and their lateral straight sides are…
Microstructural evolution of ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) films in the bias-enhanced nucleation and growth (BEN-BEG) process in CH4/Ar plasma is systematically investigated. The BEN-BEG UNCD films possess higher growth rate and better electron field emission (EFE) and plasma illumination (PI) properties than th…
Citrate synthase (CS) catalyses the entry of carbon into the citric acid cycle and is highly-conserved structurally across the tree of life. Crystal structures of dimeric CSs are known in both "open" and "closed" forms, which differ by a substantial domain motion that closes the substrate-binding clefts. We explore bo…
In this paper, we proposed to use ultra-thin 3D metamaterials to manipulate the polarization of the transmitted electromagnetic waves. As an example, we designed a 3D metamaterial to serve as an ultra-thin linear-polarization converter, which overcomes the defects of bulky volume and narrow bandwidth of conventional p…
In the paper, we report on the development of a synthesis and melting method of phosphate glasses designed for active microstructured fiber manufacturing. Non-doped glass synthesized in a P2O5-Al2O3-BaO-ZnO-MgO-Na2O oxide system served as the matrix material; meanwhile, the glass was doped with 6 mol% (18 wt%) of Yb2O…
This work proposes an empirical, variable charge potential for Ti and TiO(2) systems based on the charge-optimized many-body (COMB) potential framework. The parameters of the potential function are fit to the structural and mechanical properties of the Ti hcp phase, the TiO(2) rutile phase, and the energetics of polym…
Compartmentalized systems produced via the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly method have been produced by alternatively depositing alginate and chitosan layers onto cores of liposomes. The combination of dynamic light scattering (DLS), ζ potential, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques provides detail…
In power electronics applications, magnetic components are often subjected to nonsinusoidal waveforms, variable frequencies, and dc bias conditions. These operating conditions generate different losses in the core compared to sinusoidal losses provided by manufacturers. In the conception and design stage, lack of prec…
One of the best ways to increase the diamond growth rate is to couple high microwave power to the plasma. Indeed, increasing the power density leads to increase gas temperature the atomic hydrogen density in the plasma bulk, and to produce more hydrogen and methyl at the diamond surface. Experimental and numerical app…
Cellulose acetate was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid and electrospun onto polypropylene non-woven material. An upstream layer of polypropylene non-woven material was added to form a three-layered polypropylene/cellulose acetate/polypropylene filter. The thickness of the electrospun cellulose acetate layer was varie…
Freestanding carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) with a thickness between 0.6 and 1.7 nm were prepared from self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of diverse polyaromatic precursors via low-energy electron-induced cross-linking. The mechanical properties of CNMs were investigated using AFM bulge test, where a pressure difference wa…
ABSTRACT A novel, halogen‐free, phosphorus–nitrogen containing flame retardant 2[4‐(2,4,6‐Tris{4‐[(5,5‐dimethyl‐2‐oxo‐2λ 5 ‐[1,3,2]dioxaphosphinan‐2‐yl)hydroxymethyl]phenoxy}‐(1,3,5)‐triazine (TNTP) was successfully synthesized in a three‐step process, and characterized by FTIR, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectra, and ele…
Ferulic acid (FA) is a polyphenolic phytonutrient which possesses strong antiproliferative effect; however, it has limited therapeutic applications due to its physiochemical instability and low bioavailability at the tumor site. In present study, these shortcomings associated with FA were overcome by fabricating FA-en…
One-dimensional colloidal multicomponent semiconductor nanorods, such as CdSe-CdS dot-in-rod, have been extensively studied as a promising class of new materials for solar energy conversion because of the possibilities of using the band alignment of component materials and the rod-diameter-dependent quantum confinemen…
