Much effort has been devoted to develop and advance the methodology to regenerate functional small-diameter arterial bypasses. In the physiological environment, both mechanical and chemical stimulation are required to maintain the proper development and functionality of arterial vessels. Bioreactor culture systems dev…
The nano-domain, with short-range ordered structure, has been widely observed in rare-earth-doped ceria. Atomistic simulation has been employed to investigate the ordering structure of the nano-domain, as a result of aggregation and segregation of dopant cations and the associated oxygen vacancies in gadolinium-doped…
Particulate contamination is of concern in a variety of environments. This issue is especially important in confined spaces with highly controlled atmospheres such as space exploration vehicles involved in extraterrestrial surface missions. Lunar dust was a significant challenge for the Apollo astronauts and will be o…
We report the synthesis of aligned arrays of millimeter long carbon nanotubes (CNTs), from benzene and ferrocene as the molecular precursor and catalyst respectively, by a one-step chemical vapor deposition technique. The length of the grown CNTs depends on the reaction temperature and increases from ~85 µm to ~1.4 mm…
We studied the general chemical trends of defect formation in MgTe using first-principles band structure methods. The formation energies and transition energy levels of intrinsic defects and extrinsic impurities and some defect complexes in zinc blende MgTe were calculated systematically using a new hybrid scheme. The…
The binding surface of Fe-rich Fe-Pd alloys is explored by means of first-principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory involving unconstrained optimization of the atomic positions within a 108-atom supercell. We find that static displacements arising from geometric optimization provide an impo…
Abstract The catechol functional group of dopamine (3,4‐dihydroxyphenethylamine) has the ability to form strong adhesive bonds to inorganic and organic surfaces in aqueous environments. In this study, novel adhesive polyaspartamides containing catechol pendant groups were synthesized from polysuccinimide through succe…
Multiprotein adsorption of hen egg white lysozyme at a model charged ionic surface is studied using fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Simulations with two, three, and five proteins, in various orientations with respect the surface, are performed over a 100 ns time scale. Mutated proteins with point mutat…
A facile method of preparing hierarchical hollow silica microspheres containing surface silica nanoparticles (HHSMs) through the sol-gel process of tetraethylorthosilicate employing a quasi-hard template of non-cross-linking poly(4-vinylpyridine) microspheres is proposed. The quasi-hard template contains the inherent…
A graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is an important basic structure to open a bandgap in graphene. The GNR processes reported in the literature are complex, time-consuming, and expensive; moreover, the device yield is relatively low. In this paper, a simple new process to fabricate a long and straight graphene nanoribbon with…
A very novel phenomenon of morphological variations of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorods under the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) beam was observed without structural phase transformation. Environmentally stable and highly crystalline CdS nanorods have been obtained via a chemical bath method. The energy of the T…
In this work, we report the temperature-dependent field emission properties of 3 C -SiC nanoneedles (SiCNNs) in the range of room temperature (RT) to 500 °C. SiCNNs are synthesized via catalyst-assisted pyrolysis of a polyaluminasilazane precursor. The obtained SiC nanostructures are needlelike shaped with numerous sh…
Orientation birefringence and its wavelength dispersion are studied for hot-drawn films of cellulose esters such as cellulose triacetate (CTA), cellulose diacetate (CDA), and cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) exposed to three different humidities of environments. Hot-drawn CTA films show negative birefringence that d…
Actuatable gold nanoparticle dimers for protein sensing are presented. By monitoring the spectral blue shift in the hybridized bonding plasmon mode instead of the conventional refractive index changes on a single nanoparticle, dimers are shown to be able to detect target protein even in the presence of high levels of…
Ein neuer Dreh: Drei Arten N-invertierter Corrolisomere (NCCs) wurden synthetisiert, und ihre Strukturen wurden mithilfe von Einkristall-Röntgenstrukturanalyse aufgeklärt. Die Position des invertierten Pyrrolrings im NCC wirkt sich stark auf die optischen Eigenschaften und die Anionenbindung aus.
Abstract The selective localization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in an immiscible polymer blend has attracted much attention. If the two component polymers could react with each other, do selectively located CNTs affect those reactions? Here, an immiscible polyester blend based on polycarbonate/poly(trimethylene terepht…
We performed extensive density-functional calculations of the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of systems comprising one or two adatoms of Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, or Pt adsorbed on a hydrogen-passivated zigzag graphene nanoribbon (GNR). In all cases, the most stable structure featured the adatom(s) at p…
Based on first-principles calculations we predict a peculiar growth process, where carbon adatoms adsorbed to graphene readily diffuse above room temperature and nucleate segments of linear carbon chains attached to graphene. These chains grow longer on graphene through insertion of carbon atoms one at a time from the…
Abstract Chemical–physical properties of ultra‐high‐molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) treated by direct fluorination, direct fluorination accompanied with UV irradiation, by XeF 2 and by TbF 4 , were tested by FTIR spectroscopy, visible spectroscopy, 19F and 13C NMR, scanning electron microscopy, XRD, and EPR. Su…
Abstract Two series of polyimides I – II with methyl‐substituted triphenylamine units were prepared from the diamines, 4,4′‐diamino‐2″,4″,6″‐trimethyltriphenylamine (Me 3 TPA‐diamine; 1 ) and 4,4′‐diamino‐4″‐methyltriphenylamine (MeTPA‐diamine; 2 ), and two commercially available tetracarboxylic dianhydrides via a con…
