In this paper, we employ a molecular theory to study HCl gas‐adsorption/desorption properties of PNIPAM brushes. Here, PNIPAM–HCl hydrogen bonds and theirs explicit coupling to the PNIPAM conformations are considered. We find that hydrogen bonding becomes a key element in determining HCl gas‐adsorption/desorption beha…

Ultrafine-grained sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets were produced from jet-milled hydrogenation-disproportionation-desorption- recombination powders in a proper sintering condition. The coercivity of ~15 kOe was obtained by sintering below 950 °C, and the average grain size was <;1 μm. For the newly fine-grained magnets, a hig…

Bottom-up approaches to nanofabrication are of great interest because they can enable structural control while minimizing material waste and fabrication time. One new bottom-up nanofabrication method involves excitation of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of a Ag surface to drive deposition of sub-15 nm Au nanopart…

A crystalline solid exhibits thermally induced localised non-affine droplets in the absence of external stress. Here we show that upon an imposed shear, the size of these droplets grow until they percolate at a critical strain, well below the value at which the solid begins to yield. This critical point does not manif…

Porphyrins are approved as agents to localize malignant tissues by several investigators. There is a great potential interest in the use of porphyrin derivatives capable of high selective accumulation in malignant tissues for the imaging of malignancies. Whilst the porphyrin-based compounds penetrate tumor cells selec…

Nanoparticles of cobalt oxide (Co3O4), of size 4.2 nm, were fabricated by heating Cobalt (Co) nanoparticles synthesized using dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The temperature dependence of magnetization for field cool and zero field cool processes of Co3O4nanoparticles shows the bifurcation at 44 K. A cusp is observed at 1…

This procedure describes a method for the fabrication of large-area and ultrathin free-standing polymer films. Typically, ultrathin films are prepared using either sacrificial layers, which may damage the film or affect its mechanical properties, or they are made on freshly cleaved mica, a substrate that is difficult…

In this paper, the transition from smooth layer to nanostructured one during plasma deposition of polyaniline is demonstrated. The deposition mechanism at low discharge power allows obtaining a smooth layer with well-defined chemical structure while high discharge power gives a structured layer but does not preserve t…

Abstract. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) plays an important role in the natural environment as a major constituent of the skeleton and supporting structure of marine life and has high economic importance as an additive in food, chemicals and medical products. Anhydrous CaCO3 occurs in the three different polymorphs calcite…
