This report presents biotin-functionalized semiconducting polymers that are based on fluorene and bithiophene co-polymers (F8T2). Also presented is the application of these polymers to an organic thin film transistor used as a biosensor. The side chains of fluorene were partially biotinylated after the esterification…
In the last few years, much attention has been paid to the researches of metallic helical metamaterials due to their giant circular dichroism for transmitted lights. However, so far as we know, there is little work concerning the study of their reflection properties, which are also significant questions for the helica…
We demonstrate here tunability of optical memory and faster electro-optic response in ferroelectric liquid crystal dispersed with ferromagnetic nickel nanoparticles. Minute concentration of Ni induced an optical memory at a DC field as small as 2 V owing to the magnetoelectric effect of spin dependent screening. Memor…
Corona, flame, atmospheric plasma, and liquid flame spray (LFS) techniques were used to create highly hydrophilic surfaces for pigment-coated paper and board and machine-glossed paper. All the surface modification techniques were performed continuously in ambient atmosphere. The physical changes on the surfaces were c…
We investigate electronic structures and transport properties of chiral-graphene-nanoribbons (CGNRs) with reconstructed (2,1)-edges. First principles results reveal that the (2,1)-CGNRs can be either spin non-polarized or polarized, depending on whether the edges are H-saturated or unsaturated. H-saturated systems are…
Thermopower (S) profiling with nanometer resolution is essential for enhancing the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, through the nanostructuring of materials and for carrier density profiling in nanoelectronic devices. However, only qualitative and impractical methods or techniques with low resolutions have been rep…
RNase P is an RNA-based enzyme primarily responsible for 5'-end pre-tRNA processing. A structure of the bacterial RNase P holoenzyme in complex with tRNAPhe revealed the structural basis for substrate recognition, identified the active site location, and showed how the protein component increases functionality. The ac…
The aim of this study was to stabilize all-trans-retinol (RE) by complexification with chitosan derivatives through H-bonding. Succinated chitosan (CHI-succ) with three different degrees (5, 10, 20 mol%) of succinylation were synthesized to form complexes with RE. Various weight ratios (w/w) of CHI-succ/RE complexes w…
The following article from the Journal of Applied Polymer Science, “Preparation and Characterization of a Bacterial Cellulose/Chitosan Composite for Potential Biomedical Application” by Cai Zhijiang, Hou Chengwei, and Yang Guang, published online on 3 March 2011 in Wiley OnlineLibrary (J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2011, 121,…
Magnetic personality: A pentavalent vanadium source was employed to prepare the largest highly reduced polyoxovanadate cluster by virtue of the reducing power of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane under hydrothermal conditions. The new non-classical triangle-shaped cluster shows good catalytic selectivity for the oxidation of sty…
The main aim of this study was to inhibit the re-crystallization of a potent antimalarial drug, artemisinin (ART), by encapsulating it in core-shell fibers via a coaxially electrospun method. The ART-infiltrated cellulose acetate (CA) solution as the core material and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) solution as the shel…
This paper reported antibacterial hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS)/organic rectorite (OREC)-based nanofibrous mats with intercalated structure fabricated via solution intercalation method and electrospinning. Field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, Energy-disper…
An electrostatic doping approach has been implemented in graphene voltage amplifiers operating in a complementary configuration. The employed controllable electrostatic doping enables the operation of both pFET and nFET at the maximum transconductance point for an optimized voltage gain. In this context, the impact of…
Abstract Novel flexible polyurethane (PU) composite films containing nano‐barium hexaferrite (BaF) and nano‐barium titanate (BT) have been synthesized and characterized. The PU nanocomposites were synthesized from fullerenol and prepolymer of hexamethylene diisocyante and polytetramethylene glycol by adding 1–3% each…
Este estudo apresenta resultados com materiais absorvedores de radiação eletromagnética, MARE, à base de poli(o-metoxianilina) (POMA) e de seus compósitos com negro de fumo (NF) (NF/POMA). A condutividade elétrica dos compósitos NF/POMA foi significativamente maior (0,23-80 S.cm-1) que para a POMA (0,017 S.cm-1). Medi…
The synthesis, characterization, and redox and spectral properties of the meso‐ 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(2′‐chlorobenzoquinolin‐3′‐yl)porphyrin are reported. The synthesis of the porphyrin was performed by following the modified Lindsey procedure, and its zinc(II) derivative was prepared by using the conventional method. T…
We investigate the structure of Bi(Mg${}_{1/2}$Ti${}_{1/2}$)O${}_{3}$ using first-principles calculations. Electric field gradients are reported. The qualitative tilts of the perovskite octahedra are in accord with previously reported x-ray results, but we find significant differences in atomic positions. These amount…
The paper tries to characterize and evaluate clay, lacustrine and diatomaceous earth deposits of Lake Ashenge basin, near Koram, northern Ethiopia and comment on its industrial implications. The country rocks are dominantly basalts and basaltic agglomerates overlain by minor amounts of rhyolite and ignimbrite. Sedimen…
Here we report the first aqueous solution‐based synthesis route to lanthanum tungstate nanopowders ( La 28− x W 4+ x O 54+3 x /2 ). Lanthanum tungstate‐based materials have high proton conductivity at elevated temperatures making them interesting for several energy technology applications. The La 28− x W 4+ x O 54+3 x…
Abstract A low‐voltage operable, highly sensitive, and selectively responsive polymer for the detection of nitroaromatic explosives is investigated. Resistive devices are fabricated by simple spin‐coating on flexible and transparent substrates in addition to silicon substrates and are stable under ambient temperature…
