Nontoxic bioresorbable polymersomes have been developed that efficiently and site-selectively tether targeting peptides under mild conditions with no toxic catalysts. The binding and release properties of these polymersomes have been evaluated when targeting DLD-1 human colon cancer cells overexpressing the α(5)β(1) i…
Diamond nanocrystals containing nitrogen–vacancy (NV) color centers have been used in recent years as fluorescent probes for near-field and cellular imaging. In this work, we report that an infrared (IR) pulsed excitation beam can quench the photoluminescence of a NV color center in a diamond nanocrystal (size <50 nm)…
This paper deals with the problem of loss evaluation in Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs), focusing on the classical loss component. It is known that eddy currents can flow in these granular materials at two different scales, that of the single particle (microscopic eddy currents) and that of the specimen cross-section…
Using a sol‐gel method Pb 0.8 Ba 0.2 ZrO 3 ( PBZ ) thin film with a thickness of ~320 nm was fabricated on Pt (111)/ TiO x / SiO 2 / Si substrate. The analysis results of XRD , SEM , and dielectric properties revealed that this thin film is a (111)‐oriented nano‐scaled antiferroelectric and ferroelectric two‐phase coe…
We present the evolution of the initial (up to $\ensuremath{\sim}$10 kbar) hydrostatic pressure dependencies of ${T}_{c}$ and of the ambient pressure jump in the heat capacity associated with the superconducting transition as a function of K doping in the Ba${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$K${}_{x}$Fe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ family o…
A strategy to light-trigger ionic cross-linking of alginates by incorporating a photosensitive Ca2+ cage (nitr-T) is presented. Upon irradiation, free Ca2+ was released, and this caused gelation of the alginate solution. Addition of Ca2+ "on-demand" allowed us to obtain homogeneous alginate (ALG) gels using concentrat…
Controlling the nonlamellar and bicontinuous nanostructures through changing volume fraction is a well-developed technique for coil–coil block copolymer, but it is not always effective for rod–coil block copolymer due to strong rod–rod interaction. Versatile self-assembly morphology of rod–coil copolymer can be achiev…
Powders of Y2O3 co-doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ composed of well-crystallized nanoparticles (30 to 50 nm in diameter) with no adsorbed ligand species on their surface are prepared by polymer complex solution method. These powders exhibit up-conversion emission upon 978-nm excitation with a color that can be tuned from gre…
In order to study the effects of nanoparticles (NPs) with different physicochemical properties on cellular viability and structure, Saccharomyces cerevisiae were exposed to different concentrations of TiO2-NPs (1-3 nm), ZnO-NPs (<100 nm), CuO-NPs (<50 nm), their bulk forms, Ag-NPs (10 nm) and single-walled carbon nano…
Automation and advances in technology are the key elements in addressing the steadily increasing complexity of Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) experiments. Much of this complexity is due to the inter-and intra-crystal heterogeneity in diffraction quality often observed for crystals of multi-component macromolecula…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have a remarkable load-bearing ability. Recently, however, multi-walled CNTs (MWCNTs) have been shown to possess dramatically higher load-bearing ability when intimately embedded in an oxide ceramic (Al2O3), because the load could be transferred not to only their outermost walls but also their…
Crystallization of an isotactic polypropylene (iPP) homopolymer and two propylene/ethylene random copolymers (RACO), induced by high-stress shear, was studied using in situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) at 137 °C. The “depth sectioning” method ( Fernandez-Ballester Journal of Rheology 2009, 53 (5), 1…
The diffusion barriers of protonic defects in Gd-doped BaCeO${}_{3}$, a compound candidate as electrolyte for protonic ceramic fuel cells, have been investigated by density functional theory calculations, starting from a previously computed energy landscape consisting of 16 kinds of stable sites (eight close to dopant…
Lignocellulosic fibers from banana peels were washed with water in order to increase their compatibility with a polymeric matrix, and their properties were compared with unwashed fibers. Washed banana fibers were mixed with high density polyethylene (HDPE) and placed in an injector chamber to produce specimens for ten…
A gallamide-containing pseudoenantiomeric helicene pair bearing a (10R,11R)-dimethoxymethyldibenzosuberane core can self-assemble by intermolecular amide H-bonding and π-π stacking into bundled helical fibers with helical tunnels of complementary helicity in CH2Cl2. The helicenes undergo excellent complementary photos…
This paper describes the use of a single cell array based assay for genotoxicity study of nanomaterials using normal human fetal fibroblast cells obtained from two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultures and three-dimensional (3D) microtissue. After being exposed to a suspension of nanomaterials, cells are attached onto m…
BL-6A at the Photon Factory is new small-angle X-ray scattering beamline. The light source makes use of a bending magnet, and the available wavelength, monochromatized by a Johann type crystal monochromator, is fixed to 1.5 Å. Various kinds of detectors for SAXS and WAXS experiments are installed in BL-6A, and a SAXS/…
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) have emerged as a promising class of electronic materials, but the metallic (m)-SWNTs present in all as-synthesized nanotube samples must be removed for many applications. A high selectivity and high yield separation method has remained elusive. A separation proc…
Based on a newly developed size-dependent cohesive energy formula for two-dimensional materials, a unified theoretical model was established to illustrate the gap openings in disordered graphene flakes, involving quantum dots, nanoribbons and nanoporous sheets. It tells us that the openings are essentially dominated b…
The ALBA light source has started to operate this year. One of the seven beamlines built in the first phase is the CIRCE beamline (BL24), with two endstations in different branches, dedicated to Photoemission Electron Microscopy (PEEM) and Near Ambient Pressure Photoelectron spectroscopy (NAPP). In this communication…
