AIM: Nanoparticle-cell interactions can promote cell toxicity and stimulate particular behavioral patterns, but cell responses to protein nanomaterials have been poorly studied. RESULTS: By repositioning oligomerization domains in a simple, modular self-assembling protein platform, we have generated closely related bu…
Abstract Quasi van der Waals epitaxial growth of face-centered cubic Cu (~100 nm) thin films on single-crystal monolayer graphene is demonstrated using thermal evaporation at an elevated substrate temperature of 250 °C. The single-crystal graphene was transferred to amorphous (glass) and crystalline (quartz) SiO 2 sub…
This study theoretically examines the wetting of a cylindrical cavity engraved on a hydrophobic surface, in the context of the Cassie–Baxter-to-Wenzel transition of a water drop resting on such a surface. The stable, metastable, and transition states and their free energies are identified by constructing the free-ener…
Starting with the early works of extraordinary optical transmission and extraordinary Young's interference, researchers have been fascinated by the unusual optical properties displayed by metallic holes/slits and subsequently found similar abnormities in dielectric counterparts. Benefiting from the shrinking wavelengt…
Calcium yttrium aluminate (CaYAl3O7) crystal was grown and characterized in detail for high temperature piezoelectric sensors for the first time. The thermal properties of the CaYAl3O7 (CYAM) crystal were investigated systematically. In particular, the CYAM crystal exhibits considerably high resistivity along X- and Z…
Samples with the composition Ce0.9Gd0.1MnxO2−δ with x = 0.01, 0.02, and 0.05 Mn-addition were prepared by mixed oxide route from Ce0.9Gd0.1O2−δ and MnO2 and sintered at 1300 °C. The electronic conductivity was measured using a modified Hebb-Wagner technique, the electrical conductivity was investigated by impedance sp…
Abstract The antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus of aerogels fabricated from colloidal suspensions of chitosan/chondroitin sulfate nanocomplexes is analyzed. Upon freeze-drying the colloidal suspensions, the aerogels presented a porous structure made of microsheets and microfibers. The aerogels could,…
The multiple physiologic characteristics of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) make it a promising drug candidate for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, the half-life of GLP-1 is short as a result of degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase IV and renal clearance. Stabilizing GLP-1 is therefore critical for its use i…

Abstract For several decades, it has been known that ozone emissions are harmful to humans, plants, and animals. Heterogeneous catalytic decomposition is an efficient process for removing ozone from air. This study examines the effect of the zeolite's framework and pore width on efficiency for decomposing gaseous ozon…
Abstract A simple and efficient method was developed for preparing medium density fiberboard (MDF) reinforced with chitosan via the traditional hot-press manufacturing process. The mechanical and dimensional properties of the MDF were investigated as a function of the chitosan amount. At the 4% level of added chitosan…
Partially hydrophobized particles of -Al 2 O 3 were used to prepare the alumina foams. Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) was applied to the hydrophobized surface of alumina particles. The infrared spectroscopy provided the evidence of the interaction (adsorption) of DBSA on the alumina surface. The quantity of DBSA a…
Forming microspheres or microbeads from nanofibrous materials has recently attracted research interest for their applications in various fields, because these structures greatly impact cellular behaviors and functions. However, conventional methods of preparing microspheres or microbeads have limitations, such as limi…
In this paper, red phosphorus successfully turned to black phosphorus by the mechanical ball milling method. The samples were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The XRD result showed that the black phosphorus obtained had small crystal size a…
Abstract [1,2]Dithiino[4,3‐b:5,6‐b′]dipyridine (1) and its protonated open form 3,3′‐dithiol‐2,2′‐bipyridine (2) were synthesised and their interconversion investigated. The X‐ray structure of 2 revealed an anti orientation of the two pyridine units and a zwitterionic form. In depth electrochemical studies in combinat…
Early stage nucleation morphologies of spatially localized nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) micro-anvils grown on (100)-oriented single crystal diamond (SCD) anvil surfaces were analyzed and investigated for applications in high pressure studies on materials. NCD was grown on SCD using Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Dep…
The ability of non-equilibrium plasmas to modify surfaces has been known for many years. And a promising way to perform surface modifications without altering the bulk properties is plasma polymerization since this technique is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of materials. Plasma polymer films usually sho…
Cu nanoparticles are known to be very active for methanol (MeOH) synthesis at relatively low temperatures, such that smaller particle sizes yield better MeOH productivity. We aimed to control Cu nanoparticle (NP) size and size distribution for catalysing MeOH synthesis, by using the spinning disk reactor. The spinning…
Gold nanorods grafted with short-chain polymers are assembled into controlled open structures using polymer-induced depletion interactions and structurally characterized using small-angle X-ray scattering. When the nanorod diameter is smaller than the radius of gyration of the depletant polymer, the depletion interact…
Abstract One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials (nanowires or nanofibers) are superior to conventional zero-dimensional (0D) nanomaterials (nanoparticles). 1D nanomaterials offer not only the benefits of 0D nanomaterials, such as a large surface area and numerous active sites, but also the capability to prepare macroscopi…
