In this paper, we describe a graft polymerization/solvent immersion method for generating poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) brushes in various patterns. We used a novel fabrication process, involving very-large-scale integration and oxygen plasma treatment, to generate well-defined patterns of polymerized PHEM…
Abstract We report that the metal‐deposited single nanofibers can be successfully prepared by electrospinning and metallization. The tensile strength of the metal‐deposited single nanofibers as well as various non‐metallized polymeric nanofibers was investigated by recently developed tensile test machine. The tensile…
A new PEG end-group structure (α-PEG-MA) was designed and synthesized. When compared with the conventionally used PEG-acrylate structure, the vinyl group in the new structure showed comparable reactivity in thiol-ene reactions, but the formed materials were hydrolysis resistant because there is no ester linkage in the…
The intimal and medial linings of the pulmonary artery consist largely of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), respectively. The migration of these cell types to a potential tissue-engineered pulmonary valve (TEPV) implant process is therefore of interest in understanding the val…
Abstract Polypropylene‐(PP)‐based nanocomposites with unmodified and surface‐modified nanosized calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) were melt‐compounded to 3, 6, and 9 wt% filler contents. The nanofillers comprised two commercial grades from Mineral Technologies and one noncommercial pilot grade, and they differed in their pa…
We present results of a combined two-photon photoemission and scanning electron microscopy investigation to determine the electromagnetic enhancement factors of silver-coated spherical nanoparticles deposited on an atomically flat mica substrate. Femtosecond laser excitation of the nanoparticles produces intense photo…
A systematic investigation of BH 4 − electro-oxidation in 2 M NaOH on Pt was carried out using the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance technique (EQCM). Four sets of experiments were conducted: (i) Pt in NaOH, (ii) BH 4 − (between 10 and 60 mM) on Pt, (iii) thiourea (TU) on Pt, and (iv) BH 4 − in the presence…
In this work, a colloid of nanocrystalline ZnO particles was prepared by chemical method, and sprayed on porous silicon (PS) substrate which was prepared by electrochemical etching under a current density of 15 mA/cm 2 for 10 min. The initial radius of the ZnO particles was found to be (2.2 nm). FTIR spectra exhibit t…
For the fabrication of multifunctional biopolymer nanocomposites in the combination of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), recently increasing attention has been paid to an effective homogenization of CNTs within polymer matrices and a fine tuning of the concentration.We developed an efficient method to produce homogeneous CNT-p…
We report a novel shell technique to prepare controllable core-shell nanoparticles. In this technique, the shell is formed when the core reacts with metal ions and Na(2)S(2)O(3) and the size of the core and thickness of the shell can be controlled. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction reveal that the…
Abstract This study focuses on preparing soluble, high‐ T g polyetherimides (PEIs) with good flame retardancy. To achieve this goal, a phosphinated aminophenol, 1‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1‐(4‐aminophenyl)‐1‐(6‐oxido‐6H‐dibenz〈c,e〉〈1,2〉oxaphosphorin‐6‐yl)ethane ( 1 ), was prepared. Then, an asymmetric etherdiamine, 1‐(4‐(4‐a…
In type-II superconductors that contain a lattice of magnetic moments, vortices polarize the magnetic system inducing additional contributions to the vortex mass, vortex viscosity, and vortex-vortex interaction. Extra magnetic viscosity is caused by radiation of spin waves by a moving vortex. Like in the case of Chere…
The EPR, radioluminescence, and photoluminescence of cubic ZnS (cZnS) nanocrystals (NCs) with a narrow size distribution centered at 2 nm, doped with 0.1, 0.2, and $0.5 \mathrm{at}.%$ Mn${}^{2+}$ ions were investigated. Besides the main lines from substitutional Mn${}^{2+}$ ions localized in the core of the NCs next t…
We investigate the combined effects of gravity, attractive interactions, and brownian motion in suspensions of colloidal particles and nonadsorbing polymer. Depending on the effective strength of gravitational forces, resulting from a density mismatch between the colloids and the solvent, and the magnitude and range o…
We assess the dependence of magnetic exchange couplings on the variation of Hartree-Fock exchange (HFX) admixture in global hybrid functionals and the range-separation parameter ω in range-separated hybrid functionals in a set of 12 spin-1/2 binuclear transition metal complexes. The global hybrid PBEh (hybrid Perdew-B…
Titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) is a widely used nanomaterial that can cause biological damage through oxidative stress. At low concentrations, TiO(2) can interact with lead acetate (PbAc) to produce different toxic responses, compared with TiO(2) or PbAc alone. In this study, we utilized the following as indicators of toxi…
Deeply supercooled water droplets held containerless in an acoustic levitator are investigated with high-energy X-ray scattering. The temperature dependence of the X-ray structure function is found to be nonlinear. Comparison with two popular computer models reveals that structural changes are predicted too abrupt by…
The usage of non-wood pulps in furnishes for the production of various paper grades is a real alternative for the substitution of wood pulp in papermaking. In terms of the papermaking process, the main limiting factor for non-wood pulp utilization is poor dewatering. This problem can be partially solved by means of re…
The preparation of electrospun polymer microfibers with nitric oxide (NO)-release capabilities is described. Polymer solutions containing disodium 1-[2-(carboxylato)pyrrolidin-1-yl]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (PROLI/NO), a low-molecular-weight NO donor, were electrospun to generate fibers ranging from 100-3000 nm in diam…
The 1,10-phenanthrolinium cation is introduced as a new building block for the design of ionic liquid crystals. 1,10-Phenanthroline, 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline were quaternized by reaction with 1,3-dibromopropane or 1,2-dibromoethane. The resulting…
