Hexagonal silica–surfactant nanocomposite films are successfully prepared by a novel sol–gel process in which alkyltrimethylammonium salts are directly dissolved into pre-hydrolysed tetramethoxysilane.
A novel series of polyether dendrimer segments (dendrons) end-capped with pyrenyl, naphthyl, or methyl groups has been prepared by a convergent growth method. Steady-state fluorescence measurements indicate the absence of intramolecular naphthalene excimer in the naphthyl-capped dendrons. However, in the pyrenyl-cappe…
Recent advances in the study of Aurivillius phases (Bi 2 A n -1 B n O 3 n +3, n = 1−5) as oxide ion conductors are presented. The structures of modified Aurivillius phases containing extrinsic oxygen vacancies as well as Aurivillius phases containing intrinsic oxygen vacancies are surveyed. A detailed discussion of th…

The effect of polyaniline deuteration on the Raman spectra of this polymer has been studied in detail. Four types of samples have been prepared: nondeuterated polyaniline, polyaniline deuterated selectively on the ring, polyaniline deuterated selectively on nitrogen, and polyaniline deuterated both on the ring and on…
The film thickness dependence of surface structure for immiscible polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS/PMMA) films was investigated on the basis of atomic force microscopic observation and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic measurement. In the case of the PS/PMMA film of 25 μm thickness, the air−polymer interfacia…

Ag-coated Au colloidal particles have been prepared by reduction of Ag + in the presence of preformed Au colloids. The composition of the Au 100- x Ag x particles was varied from x = 0 to 80. SERS spectra of pyridine, p -nitroso- N, N‘ -dimethylaniline ( p -NDMA), and trans -1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) have been…
Here we will present a simplification of the form of one popular shape memory alloy (SMA) constitutive model. This simplification allows a more compact written form and hence easier calculations with the one-dimensional SMA constitutive law first developed by Tanaka, later modified by Liang and Rogers, and again by Br…
Using a sol-gel method we have prepared monodispersive particles of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 in the range from 20 to 110 nm at temperatures from 540 to 1000 °C. A magnetoresistance above 10% was obtained in a field of 1 kOe for all the particles sizes. These results may be relevant for future applications.
We have discovered a superfamily of enzymes related by their ability to catalyze the abstraction of the alpha-proton of a carboxylic acid to form an enolic intermediate. Although each reaction catalyzed by these enzymes is initiated by this common step, their overall reactions (including racemization, beta-elimination…
The effect of finite size on the solidification of o- terphenyl and benzyl alcohol confined in model controlled pore glass (CPG) materials is described. These two organic liquids form either amorphous glasses or crystalline solids in the bulk upon cooling, depending on the rate of cooling and other factors. The solidi…
A monolayer of poly( l -lysine) (PL) is attached covalently via amide bonds to an alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold surface. The amide bond is formed in two steps: the terminal carboxylic acid groups of an 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) SAM are first activated to the N -hydroxysulfosuccinimide (NH…
The reduction of Ag + ions in ethanol when certain surfactants are also present in the solution is shown to take place, even in the total absence of light. The reduction process leads to dispersions of silver nanoparticles, which are stable for weeks, although they show a certain tendency to stick to glass walls. Seve…
We describe the preparation of a new set of amphiphilic block copolymers with well-defined molecular weights and block volume fractions. The synthesis of a variety of polyalkane−poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers was accomplished by a new polymerization−hydrogenation sequence. Initially, anionic polymerization of e…
Low-melting point salts, the basis of industrially relevant ionic liquids, exhibit smectic A mesophases over extended temperature ranges.
The effect of using a realistic model for the electrostatic forces on the calculated structures of molecular crystals is explored by using atomic multipoles derived from an SCF 6-31G** wave function. This was tested on a wide ranging database of 40 rigid organic molecules containing C, H, N, and O atoms, including nuc…
The pyrolysis of four polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) macromers, Cy 8 Si 8 O 11 (OH) 2, Cy 8 Si 8 O 11 (OSiMe 3 ) 2, Cy 6 Si 6 O 9, and Cy 8 Si 8 O 12 (where Cy = c -C 6 H 11 ) and two POSS−siloxane copolymers [Cy 8 Si 8 O 11 −(OSiMe 2 ) n O−] ( n = 1, oligomer average 5.4) has been studied in argon, nitro…
We examine the equilibrium properties of a starburst dendrimer. A simple Flory theory is developed for the dependence of the radius of gyration of the starburst on its generation. A self-consistent mean field model is solved numerically to verify the Flory theory predictions and elucidate the density profile within th…
The effects of molecular structure on the electronic structure and redox properties of a series of 22 systematically designed conjugated polyquinolines and polyanthrazolines are explored by cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry on thin films. The measured electrochemical bandgap of the series of conjugated po…
