Technological advances have led to increased constraints regarding food packaging due to environmental issues, consumer health concerns, and economic restrictions associated therewith. Hence, food scientists and technologists are now more focused on developing biopolymer packages. Starch satisfies all the principle as…
Novel 3D self-assembled nanopatterning is presented via tailored crumpling of chemically modified graphene. Block-copolymer self-assembly formed on a layer of chemically modified graphene provides highly dense and uniform 2D nanopatterns, and the controlled crumpling of the chemically modified graphene by mechanical i…
Nanotubes of various dimensions displaying parahydrophobic properties are obtained by a one-step electropolymerization of naphtho[2,3- <italic>b</italic> ]thieno[3,4- <italic>e</italic> ][1,4]dioxine (NaphDOT) without surfactants or hard templates.
The lanthanum-based materials, due to their layered structure and f-electron configuration, are relevant for electrochemical application. Particularly, La2O2CO3 shows a prominent chemoresistive response to CO2. However, surprisingly less is known about its atomic and electronic structure and electrochemically signific…
In an experimental and theoretical study, the authors find that the ac stress by a diamond mechanical resonator leads to a dressed spin basis whereby an NV center spin qubit is protected against magnetic fluctuations but remains sensitive to other environmental perturbations such as strain and temperature. By analyzin…
A series of thermoresponsive aggregation-induced emission polymers with fine-tuned hydrophilicity are synthesized as fluorescent thermometers with tunable response temperature.
Superhydrophobic coatings on the aluminum alloy were fabricated by intensive nanosecond pulsed laser treatment and chemical surface hydrophobization, which are chemically stable in contact with 0.5 M NaCl aqueous solutions and mechanically durable against stresses arising in the repetitive freezing/thawing of brine. T…
The advancement of polymer nano-composites has been motivated by the need for materials with a specific combination of mechanical properties beyond those achieved from only one material.
Recent studies have shown that SnO2-based nanocomposites offer excellent electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties. In this article, we present the facile and cost-effective fabrication, characterization and testing of a new SnO2-PbS nanocomposite photocatalyst designed to overcome low photocatalytic efficie…
Rare-earth oxides (REOs) possess a remarkable intrinsic hydrophobicity, making them candidates for a myriad of applications. Although the superhydrophobicity of REOs has been explored experimentally, the atomistic details of the structure at the oxide-water interface are still not well understood. In this work, we rep…
Effectively engineering the lattice thermal conductivity of materials is a key interest of the current thermal science community. Pressure or compressive strain is one of the most worthwhile processes to modify the thermal transport property of materials, due to its robust tunability and flexibility of realization. Wh…
Madecassoside (MA), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from C. asitica, exerts various pharmacological activity including antioxidative and antinflammatory. Doxorubicin (DOX), a common chemotherapeutic drug, has been reported to induce numerous toxic side effects including renal-toxicity. We hypothesized that MA administ…
Chiral antennas and metasurfaces can be designed to react differently to left- and right-handed circularly polarized light, which enables novel optical properties such as giant optical activity and negative refraction. Here, we demonstrate that the underlying chiral near-field distributions can be directly mapped with…
Ion-exchange materials, currently dominated by resins, are widely used in a plethora of areas. However, the drawbacks of conventional resins necessitate the creation of a new model of ion exchange materials that feature controllable swelling, easily accessible ion exchange sites, high ion exchange capacity, fast ion e…
Drug resistance is the underlying cause for therapeutic failure in clinical cancer chemotherapy. A prodrug copolymer mPEG-PAsp(DIP-co-BZA-co-DOX) (PDBD) was synthesized and assembled into a nanoscale vesicle comprising a PEG corona, a reduction and pH dual-sensitive hydrophobic membrane and an aqueous lumen encapsulat…
Magnesium hydride (MgH2) offers excellent capacity to store hydrogen, but it suffers from the high desorption temperature (&gt;283 °C for starting release hydrogen). In this work, we calculated the hydrogen desorption energy of Mg76H152 clusters with/without non-metal dopants by density functional theory method. P…
The interaction between colloidal CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), both in their negatively charged state, is studied to determine the importance of surface charge and epitaxial coupling of the two components to achieve the potential activity of the metal–semiconductor nanocomposites. An unex…
An ability to control the assembly of peptide nanotubes (PNTs) would provide biomaterials for applications in nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Recently, we presented a modular design for PNTs using α-helical barrels with tunable internal cavities as building blocks. These first-generation designs thicken beyond s…
Liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC) are potential compounds that can facilitate chemical energy storage and hydrogen logistics using reversible hydrogenation. For the process development, the physical solubility of hydrogen in potential LOHCs is required. In this work, solubility of hydrogen in the potential LOHC…
Abstract To clarify the magnetism of an amorphous grain boundary (GB) phase in Nd–Fe–B sintered magnets, the magnetic properties of Nd 100− x Fe x films with various compositions have been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The model films exhibit ferromagnetism at room temperature when the Nd content…
