A novel strategy for the development of a high performance nanoparticules platform was established by means of cell surface mimetic quantum-dots (QDs)-anchored peptides/glycopeptides, which was developed as a model system for nanoparticle-based drug delivery (NDD) vehicles with defined functions helping the specific i…
This study focuses on the thermoformability of biopolymer films derived from corn starch and filled with montmorillonite-based nanoclay fillers. Biopolymer films with nanoclay concentrations from 0 to 5 wt% were prepared by solution casting and followed by thermoforming. The result shows that nanoclay addition improve…
We perform a systematic investigation of (100) surfaces for rocksalt-structured group 2 metal oxides, namely MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO, using GGA and Hybrid-DFT exchange-correlation functionals. We examine the structural, energetic and electronic properties of the surfaces, with a specific focus on the surface ionisation…
ABSTRACT Controlling the spatial configuration of conductive fillers in thin composites by a facile strategy is critical to widely commercial use these materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. In this work, a series of free‐standing thin Ni/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) films with the same c…
Ceramic niobium modified 95/5 lead zirconate-lead titanate (PZT) undergoes a pressure induced ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase transformation accompanied by an elimination of polarization and a volume reduction. Electric field and temperature drive the reverse transformation from the antiferroelectric to ferro…
Two novel helical naphthopyrans have been synthesised. The helical scaffold has the interesting effect of increasing the thermal stability of the transoid-trans (TT) open isomer formed upon UV irradiation of the closed form (CF), which transforms these naphthopyrans from thermal to photochemical photochromes. The phot…
Electrospun silk fibroin (SF) scaffolds have drawn much attention because of their resemblance to natural tissue architecture such as extracellular matrix, and the biocompatibility of SF as a candidate material to replace collagen. However, electrospun scaffolds lack the physical integrity of bone tissue scaffolds, wh…
An elastocapillary model for drying-induced collapse is proposed. We consider a circular elastic membrane with a hole at the centre that is deformed by the capillary pressure of simply and doubly connected menisci. The membrane overlays a cylindrical cavity with rigid walls, trapping a prescribed volume of water. This…
Excess of exchangeable sodium (Na) in salt-affected soils causes ion toxicity and decrease in nutrient uptake by plants, particularly potassium (K). A number of studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of K-fertilization on plant growth under sodic and saline-sodic conditions but the results are much dive…
Abstract Ba 2 B 6 O 11 , a new member of the BaO‐B 2 O 3 family, has been found and features a layered structure. The single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis revealed that Ba 2 B 6 O 11 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / c . The parameters of the monoclinic unit cell are a = 9.115(1), b = 7.773(1), c…
In this study, biodegradable aliphatic poly(butylene succinate-co-ϵ-caprolactone) P(BS-co-CL) synthesized as a compatibilizer was added into the immiscible blends of poly(butylene succinate)/poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PBS/PCL) with the aim to enhance the compatibility between PBS and PCL, and then to improve the mechanical…
The study presents the investigation results concerning the thermal properties of non-cross-linked and cross-linked silicone rubber with organic peroxide. The rubber was filled with mineral fillers such as cenospheres, including cenospheres covered with iron, attapulgite, wollastonite, aluminum hydroxide and silica. T…
Degeneracy of discrete energy levels of finite-length, metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes depends on the type of nanotubes, boundary condition, length of nanotubes, and spin-orbit interaction. Metal-1 nanotubes, in which two nonequivalent valleys in the Brillouin zone have different orbital angular momenta with res…
In the present work, geometric structures, electronic properties, and 4f → 5d transitions of γ-Ca2SiO4:Ce(3+) phosphors have been investigated by using first-principles calculations. Four categories of typical substitutions (i.e., the doping of the Ce(3+) without the neighboring dopants/defects and with the neighborin…
Electrically tunable focusing microlens arrays based on polarization independent optical phase of nano liquid crystal droplets dispersed in polymer matrix are demonstrated. Such an optical medium is optically isotropic which is so-called an optically isotropic liquid crystals (OILC). We not only discuss the optical th…
We report on the intense white-light upconversion and ultrabroad infrared (IR) emission for the sol–gel synthesis of Yb 3 Al 5 O 12 (YbAG):Ln 3+ (Ln = Nd, Sm, Tb, Er) following excitation with low-energy near-infrared light (λ ex = 980 nm). Sufficient cross relaxations and photon avalanches play important roles in the…
ABSTRACT Novel biodegradable films were prepared from soy protein isolate (SPI), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), glycerol, and 1,2,3‐propanetriol diglycidyl ether (PTGE). The mechanical, hydrophilic, and compatible properties of the films were investigated. The influence of PTGE as a crosslinker on the properties of the SP…
The dielectric constant of a polar liquid in a strong electric field changes, in the lowest order, proportionally to the squared field magnitude. The proportionality coefficient (dielectric slope) is traditionally analyzed by mean-field models in terms of the saturation of alignment of individual dipoles as prescribed…
We report a combined experimental and simulation study of deformation-induced diffusion in compacted quasi-two-dimensional amorphous granular pillars, in which thermal fluctuations play a negligible role. The pillars, consisting of bidisperse cylindrical acetal plastic particles standing upright on a substrate, are de…
The natural fibre composites are potential alternative of glass fibre composites for structural applications, automobile and furniture industry, but these are susceptible to the bacterial attack. The current study aims to investigate the bio-functionality of composites using flax woven fabric reinforcement along with…
