The current situation and possible future development of macromolecular crystallography are reviewed. The rapid progress and maturation of this field in recent years have to a large extent been made possible by the inspiration and generous support of several active structural genomics initiatives. Two tendencies can b…

As crack propagation in oxide materials at low crack velocities is partly determined by chemical corrosion, proper knowledge of the crack tip chemistry is crucial for understanding fracture in these materials. Such knowledge can be obtained only from in situ studies because the processes that occur in the highly confi…

Abstract The surface properties of polymer nanofibers are of importance in many applications. In this study, the electrospun polyamide nanofibers were used as substrates for creating functional coating on the nanofiber surfaces. A direct current (DC) sputter coating was used to deposit functional silver nanofilm onto…

Water soluble spermine, spermine-naphthalimide, and pyridinium-substituted 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives have been synthesized as nucleotide-specific binding agents. Both mono- and bifunctionalized spermine compounds were studied. The photophysical properties of each compound were studied by using time-resolved and st…

The influence of the loop density of rib 1: 1 fabric preform made from GF-PP commingled yarn on the tensile properties of the composites is investigated. Six samples of rib 1: 1 fabric preform with different loop densities are studied. It has been found that the tensile strength of composites show an increase followed…

We investigate the stress–strain relationship and elastic stability of zinc-blende GaP, GaN, InP and BN lattices under hydrostatic pressure by first-principles calculation. A simple and direct ab initio implementation for studying the mechanical properties of cubic crystals is developed. The four phases' full-set stre…

We report the first direct observation of the formation process of an alumina nanowire (ANW) array from a porous anodic alumina (PAA) membrane employing a simple droplet etching method, not a general immersion etching method, using field emission scanning electron spectroscopy (FESEM). The PAA membrane is prepared by…

Nano- and microhydrogels were fabricated in water by first to third generation triethoxysilyl focal poly(amido amine) dendrons with hexyl spacer. The focal points of dendrimers were hydrolyzed and covalent-bonded through the simple sol-gel process at an acidic or basic catalytic condition. The growth of aggregates and…

Abstract In rolling contact fatigue, hydrogen is believed to contribute to early flaking failures under some conditions. Hydrogen diffuses quickly in steels, even at room temperature, thus resulting in its dissipation into the surrounding atmosphere. This condition presents a uniquely difficult challenge for evaluatin…

General distributions of relaxation times are discussed and then specialized to two types associated with Kohlrausch stretched-exponential temporal response, the K0 and K1 models. For the important choice of 1/3 for their beta shape parameters, their specific distributions and different temporal responses are first co…

In the past, the Callen–Callen (1965 Phys. Rev. 139 A455–71; 1966 J. Phys. Chem. Solids 27 1271–85) model has been highly successful in explaining the origin and temperature dependence of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy in many magnetic compounds. Yet, despite their high ordering temperatures of ∼650 K, the Callen–…

Ferroelectric ceramics of strontium bismuth tantalate, SrBi 2 Ta 2 O 9 (SBT), have been synthesized in pure layer-structured perovskite phase by two new soft chemical techniques, namely, a sol−gel process and a coprecipitation method. The sol−gel process utilizes ethylene glycol as solvent while the coprecipitation te…

We have fabricated ordered arrays of nanoscale torsional actuators consisting of metal mirrors bonded to precisely oriented multiwall carbon nanotubes. The fabrication is facilitated by a new nanotube positioning method which employs localized electron beam activation of polymer residue on a silicon oxide surface.
