Block copolymer micelle lithography is known for producing ordered and uniform nanostructures. In this report, we have combined different types of block copolymer to produce two interpenetrating lattices of micelle nanoreactors, further extending the capacity of block copolymer micelle lithography. Using polystyrene-b…

In this study, we examined the influence of surfactants on the adsorption of polymers on cotton fibers. The extent of polymer adsorption on cotton was determined directly by means of fluorescence spectroscopy using fluorescently labeled polymers. The investigation of polymer adsorption in the presence of different typ…

This paper provides a new approach for mapping the relative stability of intermetallic compounds. We quantitatively assess the collective role of numerous chemical and bonding parameters that govern the stability of these compounds (which we call 'genes') using the principles of information entropy. It is shown that o…

Through the heterogeneous nucleation of polymer nodules on a surface-modified silica particle, the high-yield achievement of hybrid colloidal molecules with a well-controlled multipod-like morphology was recently demonstrated. However, as the formation mechanism of these colloidal molecules has not been completely und…

Abstract A water‐soluble and low stimulation sodium bisulfite blocked isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) has been prepared. The blocking and deblocking of the blocked IPDI is observed by hot‐stage Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. The experimental results reveal that IPDI is successfully blocked by sodi…

Plasmon-enhanced fluorescence is attributable to two independent processes: 1) excitation enhancement due to an increased electric field near metallic nanostructures and 2) emission enhancement from a surface plasmon resonance-coupled excited state of fluorophores. Using semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) on di…

When modeling the biased minor loops of the giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) with the classic Jiles-Atherton method, it is hard to describe the characters. When analyzing the shape changing rule of the hysteresis minor loops of Terfenol-D, whose magnetizations are not saturated, the shapes of loops are mainly aff…

The photoluminescence of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (${\mathrm{NV}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$) center displays anomalous saturation behavior at high excitation pulse energies. Where the luminescence is expected to approach a maximum value asymptotically, we have found that it instead drops by as much as a factor…

Abstract The ordering behavior of polymer nanocomposites composed of gold nanoparticles confined in the polystyrene (PS) domains of PS based block copolymers was investigated. The results reveal that the self‐assembly of nanoparticles in the PS domains improved the ordering of microdomains. This is attributed to the p…

We present a coarse-grained model for linear polymers with a tunable number of effective atoms (blobs) per chain interacting by intra- and intermolecular potentials obtained at zero density. We show how this model is able to accurately reproduce the universal properties of the underlying solution of athermal linear ch…

In nanoscale, gold is one of the widely studied metals. It is well-known for its size dependent surface plasmonic absorbance. It has also been reported that clusters of a few atoms of gold can show fluorescence. However, these optical properties of gold are mostly associated with Au(0), and little has been explored fo…
