This article reports that surface modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) influences fibronectin (Fn) adsorption and enhances cell attachment. Controlled adsorption of Fn on chemically activated polymer substrates is known to influence cellular function. Thin films of PDMS were spun cast on silicon wafers to obt…
Abstract The modification of poly(ethylene terephthalate) with 1,4‐cyclohexanedimethanol and the modification of poly(1,4‐cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) with ethylene glycol or isophthalic acid retard the crystallization of the copolyester backbone, and over a wide range of comonomer concentrations, very slow…
Effects of electron-phonon interactions on the band structure can be experimentally investigated in detail by measuring the temperature dependence of energy gaps or critical points (van Hove singularities) of the optical excitation spectra. These studies have been complemented in recent years by observing the dependen…
Superconductivity in the simple elements is of both technological relevance and fundamental scientific interest in the investigation of superconductivity phenomena. Recent advances in the instrumentation of physics under pressure have enabled the observation of superconductivity in many elements not previously known t…
We model an interface layer connecting two parts of a solid body by N parallel elastic springs connecting two rigid blocks. We load the system by a shear force acting on the top side. The springs have equal stiffness but are ruptured randomly when the load reaches a critical value. For the considered system, we calcul…
Room-temperature quasi-ballistic electron transport in double-wall carbon nanotubes (DWNT) is demonstrated. Conductance dependence on the length was measured by submerging DWNTs into liquid mercury. The conductance plots show plateaus, indicating weak dependence of the electrode-tube-electrode electrical resistance on…
We present a detailed analysis of the electronic structure, bonding, charge transfer, and optical properties of selected perfect-crystal calcium apatites [${\mathrm{Ca}}_{10}{({\mathrm{PO}}_{4})}_{6}{X}_{2}$ with $X={(\mathrm{OH})}^{\ensuremath{-}},{\mathrm{F}}^{\ensuremath{-}},{\mathrm{Cl}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, or ${\m…
Stable dispersions of both as-produced (raw soot) and purified laser-generated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have been demonstrated with several alkyl amide solvents. Optical absorption analysis over a range of concentrations has been utilized to estimate the dispersion limits for as-produced SWNTs in N, N -dim…
By combining ab-initio electron theory and statistical mechanics, the physical properties of the ternary intermetallic system Ni-Fe-Al in the ground state and at finite temperatures were investigated. The Ni-Fe-Al system is not only of high technological interest, but exhibits also rich physics, e.g., a delicate inter…
In this contribution we argue that the main discrepancies between model calculations and experimental data for leakage current after hadron irradiation could be explained considering the contributions of primary defects in silicon: vacancy, interstitial and Si_FFCD defect. The source of discrepancies between data and…
We propose a model dielectric function for ropes of single-walled nanotubes distributed in a glassy graphite host medium. We study the significance of the bosonic charge excitations arising in interacting quasi-one-dimensional systems in the screening processes. We also pay special attention to the role of the intertu…
Raman spectroscopy is used to measure the strain in individual single-wall carbon nanotubes, strained by manipulation with an atomic-force-microscope tip. Under strains varying from 0.06%-1.65%, the in-plane vibrational mode frequencies are lowered by as much as 1.5% (40 cm(-1)), while the radial breathing mode (RBM)…
We studied frequency and temperature dependences of impedance, electric modulus, and dielectric permittivity of ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2∕3}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{Ti}}_{4}{\mathrm{O}}_{12}$ in the ranges of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}1}--{10}^{6}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{Hz}$ and $\ensuremath{-}150--200\phantom{\rule{0.…
NK911 is a novel supramolecular nanocarrier designed for the enhanced delivery of doxorubicin (DXR) and is one of the successful polymer micelle systems to exhibit an efficient accumulation in solid tumours in mice. The purpose of this study was to define the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (…
We produced single-crystalline Fe nanodot arrays grown in situ on a W(110) substrate in an ultrahigh vacuum system. An alumina shadow mask with perfectly ordered holes was used for Fe deposition. Polycrystalline Fe nanodots could be crystallized to single-domain nanodots by thermal annealing. After annealing, Fe wets…
Abstract We studied the space charge behavior in crosslinked polyethylene cable insulation with thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC). The role of the semiconducting layers of the cable in space charge formation was determined with several experiments carried out with two different cables. TSDC spectra we…
Electron-doped La1−xTexMnO3 thin films epitaxially grown on MgO substrates by laser molecular-beam epitaxy are studied. The samples have smooth surfaces, are single crystalline, and c-oriented. Spin–glass behavior of the films is observed at low temperature. Raman spectra of the samples show a significant change in th…
Well-ordered arrays of sub-80 nm high SrBi2Ta2O9 nanostructures were fabricated on SrTiO3:Nb (111) single-crystal substrates by latex sphere lithography. The as-prepared nanostructures have a pyramid-like shape with around 220 nm lateral dimension at half their height. After annealing, the pyramid-like shape changes d…
Bi 3.15 Nd 0.85 Ti 3 O 12 (BNdT) thin films were deposited on Pt∕Ti∕SiO2∕Si substrates using a sol-gel process. The film annealed at 750°C is composed of grains of 50–100nm in diameter. The fine grains show nearly random orientations. “Micropores” were frequently observed at the junctions of the grains and they are mo…
Dissociative adsorption has been widely simplified as part of the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth model. We found that the addition of specific carrier gases can critically modify the growth rate and growth density of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). These results were explained by dissociative adsorption of C2H2 m…
