In this research, we fabricated thin films deposited on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films by a layer-by-layer self-assembly method using a roll-to-roll process and measured the morphology and transmittance of the thin films using atomic force microscopy (AFM) (nanoscope IIIa, Digital Instruments) and UV-vis spe…
A series of N-alkyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium bromide salts (C14, C16, or C18) have been explored as templates for the synthesis of ordered, mesoporous silica films; "soft" annealing based on deep-UV calcination is also reported.
Polymeric complexes based on diblock copolymers (polystyrene-block-4-vinylpyridine) hydrogen bonded with pentadecylphenol self-assemble under oscillatory shear flow into a highly ordered lamellar structure (Ikkala et al. Science 2002). Microtomed films of the lamellar structure form an array of "nanosheets"following i…
Abstract Blends of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and poly[ethylene‐ co ‐(vinyl acetate)] (PEVA), crosslinked by electron‐beam (EB) radiation, formed separate crystalline lattices with a homogeneous amorphous phase. The crystallinity of the EB‐exposed samples slightly decreased, as verified by a slight reduction in t…
An ab initio-based kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm was developed to simulate the direct decomposition of NO over Pt and different PtAu alloy surfaces. The algorithm was used to test the influence of the composition and the specific atomic surface structure of the alloy on the simulated activity and selectivity to form N…
We present Raman spectra and Raman images of the methylene blue molecule adsorbed as a single layer on gold nanoparticles regularly arranged in periodic arrays. Spectra and images are recorded in the same spatial and spectral regions using an excitation under total internal reflection. Images of the Raman scattering a…
A series of glucopyranosylamide lipids, N-(X-octadecenoyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosylamine [X = 13-cis (1), 11-cis (2), 9-cis (3), 6-cis (4), and 9-cis,12-cis (5)] and their saturated homologue N-octadecanoyl-beta-d-glucopyranosylamine (6), which differ in the position of a cis double bond in the C18 hydrocarbon chains, ha…
Here, we present experimental data and a theoretical model for the dynamics of detachment of hexadecane drops from a solid substrate (glass plate) in aqueous solutions of anionic surfactant and salt, at various temperatures. The influence of the experimental conditions on the motion of the three-phase contact line is…

Chemoselective hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzenes over Pt/C catalysts proceeds effectively in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) to produce halogenated anilines with excellent selectivity; the rate of the hydrogenation of nitro groups is markedly enhanced in scCO2 compared to the neat reaction, and the dehal…
From experimental evidence it has been possible to conclude that the strain rate has a great effect on the shape memory alloy load–displacement response. Because in some applications, for example the case for dissipative devices, the strain rate varies over a wide range, it is very important to be able to predict the…
A practical and efficient method to synthesize iptycene quinones has been developed. As a result, a series of pentiptycene quinones 8-16 were conveniently synthesized by one-pot reaction of triptycene quinone 4 or 5 with anthracene 1 or its derivatives 2-3 in refluxing acetic acid in the presence of p-chloranil, follo…
A homologous series of novel chiral dimeric compounds, (R)-2,2′-bis{6-[4-(2-(2-fluoro-4-butyloxyphenyl)pyrimidine-5-yl)phenyloxy]alkyloxy}-1,1′-binaphthyl, has been prepared and the physical properties investigated. The binaphthyl derivatives with an even number of atoms in the spacers showed a chiral nematic phase, h…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were directly dispersed into various alcohols by sonicating the nanotubes in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP). Depending upon the alcohol, it was possible to disperse up to 0.3 g of SWCNTs per liter of alcohol using only 0.6 g of P4VP, and with solution stability gre…
In this paper we describe the preparation of homogeneously needle-shaped cobalt ferrite (CoFe(2)O(4)) nanocrystals on a large scale through the smooth decomposition of urea and the resulting co-precipitation of Co(2+) and Fe(3+) in oleic acid micelles. Furthermore, we found that other ferrite nanocrystals with a needl…
The mechanical properties of sliding carbon nanotubes have been investigated by classical molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. In particular we have studied damped oscillations in the separation between the centres of mass of the inner and outer tubes of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCN). Inco…
There is a growing need in the textile industry for more economical and environmentally responsible approaches to improve the scouring process as part of the pretreatment of cotton fabric. Enzymatic methods using pectin-degrading enzymes are potentially valuable candidates in this effort because they could reduce the…
Highly transparent and stable luminescent ZnO/poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) nanocomposites have been synthesized via a nanoparticle surface modified method. 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TPM) was used as the stabilizing agent in a simple, mild sol–gel route to prepare TPM-modified ZnO nanoparticles. The ex…
PbS nanocrystals are synthesized using colloidal techniques and have their surfaces capped with oleic acid. The absorption band edge of the PbS nanocrystals is tuned between 900 and 580 nm. The PbS nanocrystals exhibit tuneable photoluminescence with large non-resonant Stokes shifts of up to 500 meV. The magnitude of…
This work demonstrated a facile route to the synthesis of polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers by polymerization of aniline using chloroaurate acid (HAuCl(4)) as the oxidant. The reduction of AuCl(4)(-) is accompanied by oxidative polymerization of aniline, leading to uniform PANI nanofibers with a diameter of 35 +/- 5 nm an…
