A facile room-temperature electrochemical deposition process for germanium sulfide (GeS(x)) has been developed with the use of an ionic liquid as an electrolyte. The electrodeposition mechanism follows the induced codeposition of Ge and S precursors in ionic liquids generating GeS(x) films. The electrodeposited GeS(x)…
Mesoporous Au/TiO(2) nanocomposite microspheres have been synthesized by using a microemulsion-based bottom-up self-assembly (EBS) process starting from monodisperse gold and titania nanocrystals as building blocks. The microspheres had large surface areas (above 270 m(2) g(-1)) and open mesopores (about 5 nm), which…
Abstract Poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and its derivatives are relatively new, and unique members of conducting‐polymers family. In this article, we present an approach for simple, reliable and cost‐efficient electrochemical biosensor for real‐time detection and quantification of phenolic compounds (PhCs).…
Recently, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have been receiving more attention and further study, due to their ability to develop extremely large, recoverable strains and great forces. In this paper, three major models of SMA behavior, used in the literature, for studying the static performance of SMA components attributed t…
There is an excitement around graphene as a promising new material for nanotechnological and nanoarchitectonic applications. Despite the low chemical reactivity of graphene, chemical functionalization remains a prominent and viable solution to tailor its chemical, physical, and electronic properties. Herein, we report…
High generation dendronized polymers with high molecular weight were synthesized by ROMP via macromonomer approach. The polymerization was achieved in living manner and the macromolecules exhibited rod-like conformation. Correlation between the monomer structures and the conformation of the final polymers was investig…
The properties that determine the thermal shock resistance in materials are reported for porous cordierite, a leading candidate material for the fabrication of diesel particulate filters. Fracture toughness and slow crack growth tests were performed on test specimens obtained from the walls of diesel particulate filte…
Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) is a disease with high incidence with no pure cure therapy yet. In most of cases, these patients need pancreatic islets transplantation that is not completely successful because of oxidative stress happening during isolation and transplantation procedures. In the present stud…
O-benzyl-L-serine carboxyanhydrides were synthesized via diazotization of O-benzyl-L-serine with sodium nitrite in aqueous sulfuric acid solution followed by cyclization of the resulting serine-based α-hydroxy acid with phosgene. Degradable, water-soluble poly(α-hydroxy acids) bearing pendant hydroxyl groups were read…
Chitosan/Boron nitride ( BN ) composites were prepared by solution method using CuSO 4 /glycine chelate complex as the catalysis with variable percentage of boron nitride loading. The dispersion of BN with the chitosan polymer was achieved with sonication at power of 120 W and frequency of 80 kHz. The chemical interac…
The reaction mechanisms for selective acetylene hydrogenation on three different supports, Pd(4) cluster, oxygen defective anatase (101), and rutile (110) titania supported Pd(4), cluster are studied using the density functional theory calculations with a Hubbard U correction (DFT+U). The present calculations show tha…
Clean sheets: Stable aqueous dispersions of graphene sheets (GSs) are obtained by exposing graphene oxide to irradiation with light at room temperature, without using any chemical additives. The photochemical reduction method is sustainable and scalable, repairs a majority of defects in the graphene layers, and can be…
[Eu(bda)(2)](-) (bda = 2,2'-bipyridine-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid) produces intense circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in aqueous solutions in the presence of (S)-2-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid upon UV irradiation, although the molecular structure of the europium(III) complex is achiral. The mechanism for the induct…
Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising and powerful label free technique for high resolution analysis of single cells. For intracellular analysis, there is a need for SERS‐active nanoprobes that are minimally invasive to cells, do not affect cell viability, and provide reproducible signals. This wor…
Synthetic polymers of a specific shape and size play major role in drug delivery systems. Dendrimers are unique synthetic macromolecules of nanometer dimensions with a highly branched structure and globular shape with potential applications in gene and drug delivery. We examine the interaction of several dendrimers of…
Applications requiring pristine graphene derived from graphite demand a solution stabilization method that utilizes an easily removable media. Using a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and experimental techniques, we investigate the solublization/suspension of pristine graphene sheets by an equimolar mixtu…
New amphiphilic gelators that contained both Schiff base and L-glutamide moieties, abbreviated as o-SLG and p-SLG, were synthesized and their self-assembly in various organic solvents in the absence and presence of metal ions was investigated. Gelation test revealed that o-SLG formed a thermotropic gel in many organic…
Identification of the active sites in heterogeneous catalysis is important for a mechanistic understanding of the structure–reactivity relationship and rationale of the design of new catalysts, but remains challenging. Among others, the boundaries at metal nanoparticles and supported oxides were found to be important…
Graphene has a close lattice match to the Ni(111) surface, resulting in a preference for 1 × 1 configurations. We have investigated graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the nickel carbide (Ni(2)C) reconstruction of Ni(111) with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The presence of excess carbon, in the…
Traditionally, the nuclear and aerospace industries have been the main drivers behind the development of high‐temperature materials. These applications demand a high degree of reliability and extensive characterization of every new material. There is a lack of experimental thermodynamic data above 1500°C even for HfO…
