We report on the Raman spectra of ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{3}\mathrm{Si}{\mathrm{C}}_{2}$ (312), ${M}_{2}\mathrm{Al}\mathrm{C}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}(211)$ ($M=\mathrm{Ti}$, V, Cr, and Nb) and ${\mathrm{Ti}}_{4}\mathrm{Al}{\mathrm{N}}_{3}$ (413), as representative compounds from the family of ${M}_{n+1}A{X}_{n}$ phases. In…
We have designed and evaluated biodegradable porous polymeric microparticles as a scaffold for cell growth. The hypothesis was that microparticles with optimized composition and properties would have better cell adhesion and hence cell growth into a tissue-like structure. Solvent-evaporation method was modified using…
The evidence that double negative media, with an effective negative permittivity, and an effective negative permeability, can be manufactured to operate at frequencies ranging from microwave to optical is ushering in a new era of metamaterials. They are referred to here as 'left-handed', even though a variety of names…
Measurements of the heat capacity C(T,H) of the one-dimensional quantum magnet TiOCl are presented for temperatures 2K < T < 300K and magnetic fields up to 5T. Distinct anomalies at 91K and 67K signal two subsequent phase transitions. The lower of these transitions clearly is of first order and seems to be related to…
By LDA+U method with spin-orbit coupling (LDA+U+SO) the magnetic state and electronic structure have been investigated for plutonium in δand αphases and for Pu compounds: PuN, PuCoGa5, PuRh2, PuSi2, PuTe, and PuSb. For metallic plutonium in both phases in agreement with experiment a nonmagnetic ground state was found…
We report the design of a platform for the delivery of hydrophobic drugs via a macromolecular prodrug approach combined with LbL-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayers. A hyaluronan ester prodrug of the chemotherapeutic drug paclitaxel has been synthesized. Conjugation of the drug to hyaluronan through a labile succina…
In this study we report results for a systematic study of the wetting of structured gold surfaces formed by electrodeposition through monolayer templates of close-packed uniform submicrometer spheres. Removal of the template after deposition leaves a regular hexagonal array of sphere segment pores where the depth of t…
The adsorption of vitamin E onto mesoporous carbons CMK-1 and CMK-3 from vitamin E solutions with different concentrations in nonpolar ( n -heptane) and polar ( n -butanol) solvent has been studied for the first time, and the results are compared to a conventional microporous carbon adsorbent, activated carbon. The am…
The oxygen vacancy in WO(3) has previously been implicated in the electrochromism mechanism in this material. Previous theoretical calculations on the oxygen vacancy in WO(3) have not considered the full range of crystal structures adopted by the material. Here we report studies of the oxygen vacancy in seven crystal…
Ultra-small (3.1 nm) multifunctional CdS:Mn/ZnS core-shell semiconductor quantum dots (Qdots), which possess fluorescent, radio-opacity, and paramagnetic properties, have been shown here. To demonstrate in vivo bioimaging capability, a rat was administered endovascularly with Qdots conjugated with a TAT peptide. The l…
Chalcogenide aerogels based entirely on semiconducting II-VI or IV-VI frameworks have been prepared from a general strategy that involves oxidative aggregation of metal chalcogenide nanoparticle building blocks followed by supercritical solvent removal. The resultant materials are mesoporous, exhibit high surface area…
There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers. Cellulose, the world's most abundant natural, renewable, biodegradable polymer, is a classical example of these reinforcing elements, which occu…
Recently, carbon-nanotubes (CNT) have become a main focus in the polymer nanocomposites field. In a previous study, polymer composites with good CNT dispersion were obtained using a twin-screw extruder. There was a close correlation among the following three parameters: the total shear strain [γ·t] responsible for the…
Corrosion rates of high chromium and conventional steel rebars were measured and compared by conducting two studies. One was on concrete blocks and the other was on bare steel rebars. In the former study, concrete blocks that had been made with two different steel rebars were placed in sodium chloride solutions, and a…
Artificial neural networks (ANNs), for a first time, were successfully developed for the modeling and prediction of solvent effects on rate constant of [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of diethyl azodicarboxylate with ethyl vinyl ether in various solvents with diverse chemical structures using quantitative structure-activ…
The use of an hybrid pressurized electrostatic-aerodynamic levitation furnace and procedures developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency overcame the contamination problems associated with the processing of ceramics under extreme temperature conditions. This made possible property measurements over wide temper…
During the last decade, the exploration of nanoscale device and circuitry based on molecules has gained increasing interest. In parallel with this, considerable effort is being devoted to the development of molecular photonic/electronic materials based on various porphyrin arrays. This involves light as an input/outpu…
The active role of boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) in enhancing the Eu 2+ photoluminescence; varying persistence times and formation of several crystalline phases of calcium aluminate system is presented. The luminescence characteristics of CaAl 2 O 4 : Eu 2+ , Nd 3+ (CA) phosphor took an immense leap forward with the addition…
The influence of single-atomic-species and oxygen-related defect termination on the electronic properties of silicon nanocrystallites covered with a complete oxide shell are studied by means of density-functional theory and the local-density approximation. The oxide shell is analyzed in more detail to study the influe…
Adsorption characteristics of cross-linked lysozyme crystals of different morphologies (tetragonal, orthorhombic, triclinic and monoclinic) were examined using four anionic dyes (fluorescein, eosin, erythrosin, and rose bengal), one zwitterionic dye (rhodamine B), and one cationic dye (rhodamine 6G). The adsorption is…
