Electrospun collagen-blended poly(L-lactic acid)-co-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) [P(LLA-CL), 70:30] nanofiber may have great potential application in tissue engineering because it mimicks the extracellular matrix (ECM) both morphologically and chemically. Blended nanofibers with various weight ratios of polymer to colla…
This review discusses the state-of-the-art of research into biocorrosion and the biofouling of metals and alloys of industrial usage. The key concepts needed to understand the main effects of microorganisms on metal decay, and current trends in monitoring and control strategies to mitigate the deleterious effects of b…
New folate-conjugated superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles have been synthesized for the intracellular hyperthermia treatment of solid tumors. These ultradispersed nanosystems have been characterized for their physicochemical properties and tumor cell targeting ability, facilitated by surface modification with fo…
State-of-the-art carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) behave as Schottky-barrier-modulated transistors. It is known that vertical scaling of the gate oxide significantly improves the performance of these devices. However, decreasing the oxide thickness also results in pronounced ambipolar transistor chara…
Abstract Nanocrystalline particles of MgO were synthesized using microwave radiation in an ethylene glycol solution. The antibacterial activities of the MgO nanoparticles were tested by treating Escherichia coli (Gram negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive) cultures with 1 mg mL –1 of the nanoparticles. We…
The crystal structure of perdeuterodimethyl sulfoxide, (CD3)2SO, has been refined at 2 and 100 K, and characterized as a function of temperature up to 275 K against high-resolution neutron powder diffraction data. The structure determined previously by Thomas, Shoemaker & Eriks [Acta Cryst. (1966), 21, 12-20] (T=278 K…
The precipitation and growth of copper nanoparticles in an optically transparent aluminosilicate glass matrix was investigated. The size of particles in this heterophase glass-based composite was modified in a controlled manner by isothermal heat treatments. A multitechnique approach, consisting of Raman scattering sp…
Clostridium perfringens is a ubiquitous environmental organism that is capable of causing a variety of diseases in mammals, including gas gangrene and necrotic enteritis in humans. The activity of a secreted hyaluronidase, attributed to the NagH protein, contributes to the pathogenicity of this organism. The family 84…
Abstract Summary: A new technique, ultrasonically initiated in situ emulsion polymerization, was employed to prepare intercalated polystyrene/Na + ‐MMT nanocomposites. FTIR, XRD, and TEM results confirm that the hydrophobic PS can easily intercalate into the galleries of hydrophilic montmorillonite via ultrasonically…
Abstract Summary: A novel intumescent flame retardant (PSiNII), containing silicon, phosphorus and nitrogen, has been synthesized and incorporated into poly(propylene) (PP). The flame retardancy of PP/PSiNII, evaluated by the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value, can be enhanced up to 29.5 vol.‐% from 17.4 vol.‐% with 20…
Employing amphiphilic block copolymers in a casting process to obtain honeycomb-structured films via breath figures leads to a suborder of these porous films. A thermoresponsive block copolymer, polystyrene-block-poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide), was synthesized and used to test the arrangement of both blocks within the h…
The molecule of the title compound, C13H9NO2, is planar, and is disordered so that there are two conformations (1:1) of the phenol ring with respect to the benzoxazole group. Strong intermolecular π–π interactions are noted in the crystal structure.
Miscible blends of PHB and CAB were prepared by the solvent-casting method with various blend compositions, and their orientation behavior was investigated during uniaxial drawing. X-ray analysis revealed that the orientation of the crystallizable PHB component in the drawn PHB/CAB blends was changed from c-axis-orien…
A coordinatively induced length control of W18O49 nanorods has been developed using thermal decomposition of W(CO)6 in octyl ether solutions of single or mixed capping agents, oleic acid (OA), oleic acid/hexadecylamine (HDA), and oleic acid/trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO). The order of length for nanorods synthesized w…
Crystal structure of a ferroelectric barium titanate BaTi2O5 was investigated by the Rietveld analysis of neutron powder diffraction data measured at 706°C. The crystal structure of BaTi2O5 at 706°C was refined assuming the centrosymmetric monoclinic A2∕m space group. The crystal structures of the high-temperature A2∕…
The thermodynamic properties of $S\ensuremath{\geqslant}1$ ferromagnetic chains with an easy-axis single-ion anisotropy are investigated at arbitrary temperatures by both a Green-function approach, based on a decoupling of three-spin operator products, and by exact diagonalizations of chains with up to $N=12$ sites us…
Thin films of silica hybrid materials consisting of two to three covalently bound organic chromophores at different ratios were conveniently synthesized and fabricated. The photophysical properties of these materials have been studied. The fluorescence spectra reveal complete fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FR…
This paper reports on the novel electropolymerization of an immiscible monomer, such as 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), in aqueous electrolytes using acoustic emulsification. This new methodology has many practical advantages and characteristics: (a) the formation of stable monomer droplets in aqueous electrolytes…
Uniformly distributed ZnO nanorods with diameter 80–120nm and 2μm long have been grown at low temperatures on gallium nitride (GaN) by using the inexpensive aqueous solution method. The formation of the ZnO nanorods and the growth parameters are controlled by reactant concentration, temperature and pH. No catalyst is…
The convergent synthesis of a series of porphyrin-functionalized pyrimidine dendrimers has been accomplished by a procedure involving the nucleophilic aromatic substitution (NAS) as a key reaction step. The resulting dendritic porphyrin catalysts show high activity in the light-induced generation of singlet oxygen ((1…
