Solids with spatial variations in the crystalline axes naturally evolve into cells or grains separated by sharp walls. Such variations are mathematically described using the Nye dislocation density tensor. At high temperatures, polycrystalline grains form from the melt and coarsen with time: the dislocations can both…
Aqueous dispersions of lightly cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridine)/silica nanocomposite microgel particles are used as a sole emulsifier of methyl myristate and water (1:1 by volume) at various pH values and salt concentrations at 20 degrees C. These particles become swollen at low pH with the hydrodynamic diameter inc…
High frequency sound is observed in lithium diborate glass, Li2O-2B2O3, using Brillouin scattering of light and x rays. The sound attenuation exhibits a nontrivial dependence on the wave vector, with a remarkably rapid increase towards a Ioffe-Regel crossover as the frequency approaches the boson peak from below. An a…
Based on first-principles pseudopotential calculations, we investigated the electronic structure of various P-related defects in ZnO and the $p$-type doping efficiency for two forms of P dopant sources such as ${\mathrm{P}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{5}$ and ${\mathrm{Zn}}_{3}{\mathrm{P}}_{2}$. As compared to N dopants, a subst…
Metal-semiconductor contacts play a key role in electronics. Here we show that for quasi-one-dimensional structures such as nanotubes and nanowires, side contact with the metal only leads to weak band re-alignement, in contrast to bulk metal-semiconductor contacts. Schottky barriers are much reduced compared with the…
Quantized conductance behavior of gold nano wires was studied under electrochemical potential control. We fabricated 1 nm long mono atomic wires in solution at room temperature. Electrochemical potential significantly affected the stability of the mono atomic wire and fractional conductance peak occurrence in the cond…
An original realization of a lens capable of transmitting images with subwavelength resolution is proposed. The lens is formed by an array of parallel conducting wires and effectively operates as a telegraph which captures a distribution of the electric field at the front interface of the lens and transmits it to the…
A europium complex selectively staining the nucleolus of NIH 3T3, HeLa, and HDF cells is reported. This complex possesses not only the advantage of the long lifetime of europium emission (0.3 ms), but also a chromophore that allows excitation at a relatively long wavelength (lambda(max) = 384 nm) and gives rise to an…
Three well-defined diblock copolymers of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) [poly(SBMA)] and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) were synthesized by the sequential addition of SBMA monomer to fixed amounts of PPO using an atom transfer radical polymerization method and varying poly(SBMA) lengths. These copolymers were characteri…
The three main strategies for dispersing carbon nanotubes (NTs) into a polymer matrix to get conductive nanocomposites are described, and illustrated with some appealing examples. The direct mixing of the NTs and the polymer is the ‘simplest' concept to achieve this goal. Other approaches concern the modification of e…
In the field of MR imaging and especially in the emerging field of cellular and molecular MR imaging, flexible strategies to synthesize contrast agents that can be manipulated in terms of size and composition and that can be easily conjugated with targeting ligands are required. Furthermore, the relaxivity of the cont…

By using bifunctional surface modifiers (SH-R-COOH), CdSe quantum dots (QDs) have been assembled onto mesoscopic TiO(2) films. Upon visible light excitation, CdSe QDs inject electrons into TiO(2) nanocrystallites. Femtosecond transient absorption as well as emission quenching experiments confirm the injection from the…
Abstract Copper acetylacetonate reacted with N , N ‐diethylmethylamine and 4,4′‐thiobis(6‐ t ‐butyl‐ o ‐cresol) in the presence of self‐assembled fluorinated oligmeric aggregates formed by fluoroalkyl end‐capped 2‐[3‐(2H‐benzotriazol‐2‐yl)‐4‐hydroxyphenyl]ethyl methacrylate– N , N ‐dimethylacrylamide cooligomer [R F –…
NiTi-wire shape memory alloy (SMA) dampers, that utilize NiTi SMA wires to simultaneously damp tension, compression and torsion, was developed for structural control implementation in this study. First, eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers were constructed. Then tension, compression and torsion experiments using…
Abstract The temperature–conductivity characteristics of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) composites filled with P3HT‐grafted indium tin oxide (ITO) particles were investigated in this work. The ITO particles were first treated with a silane coupling reagent of 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS), and then thiophene rings…
Abstract Two kinds of monomers, 1,3‐bis[4‐(4′‐amino‐Phenoxy)cumyl]benzene (BACB) and pyromellitic dianhydride were used to synthesize the Liquid Crystalline Polyamic acid—a precursor (LCPAA) of Liquid Crystalline Polyimide (LCPi). The nanohybrid films were successfully prepared by the sol–gel reaction. Tetraethoxysila…
Abstract A two‐step procedure was used to synthesize the cellulose acetate butyrate and poly(ethylene glycol) graft copolymer (CAB‐ g ‐PEG). By choosing the appropriate composition, the crosslinked graft copolymer or not could be obtained. Then, the CAB‐ g ‐PEG copolymer was blended with poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB),…
Abstract Subsequent melting behavior after isothermal crystallization at different temperatures from the isotropic melt and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics and morphology of partially melting sPB were carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized light microscopy (POM), respectively. Triple…
