We investigate the process of self-assembly, and the resultant structures in composites of silica particles with a hexagonal mesophase of a nonionic surfactant and water. We report a systematic transition in behavior when the particle size is increased relative to the characteristic mesophase spacing. Water dispersibl…

Polypyrrole microcontainers were successfully prepared by electrochemical polymerization of pyrrole on the surface of stainless steel electrodes. The size of the nanocontainers and the thickness of the polypyrrole shell (up to complete filling of the container with grown polypyrrole) can be varied by changing both the…

In this paper, we find that the resonant angle of surface plasmons (SPs) excited on a unique type of nanostructure-covered laser-induced periodic surface structure (NC-LIPSS) on platinum can be significantly different from the calculated value based on regular periodic grooves. We believe that this SP resonant angle s…

Abstract The replacement of flexible polyolefin barrier layers with novel, thin, functional polymer coatings in the production of paperboard packaging involves the risk of deteriorated barrier and mechanical properties during the converting process. Local defects or cracks in the protective barrier layer can arise bec…

A series of short DNA hairpins (nG) using perylene-3,4:9,10-bis(dicarboximide) (PDI) as the hairpin linker was synthesized in which the distance between the PDI and a guanine-cytosine (G-C) base pair is systematically varied by changing the number (n - 1) of adenine-thymine (A-T) base pairs between them. Due to the re…

Cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence techniques have been used to investigate room temperature light emission from beta-Ga(2)O(3):Eu nanostructures, which were obtained by two methods. In one of them, a mixture of Ga(2)O(3)/Eu(2)O(3) powders was used as precursor material and annealed under an argon flow. In the…

For a given number of electrons, total spin, and matching spin z-component, we construct a set that spans the many-electron spin subspace associated with these spin values. Each vector in the set is tensorially related to spin-pure vectors of six electrons or less. We show that in the limit of separated atoms coupled…

“Click”able monomer and polymers based on 3,4-propylenedioxythiophene, ProDOT, which can be functionalized either at the monomer stage or after the polymerization, were synthesized and characterized for the first time. The solubility of these polymers can be fine-tuned from organic to aqueous solvents by functionaliza…

Heat capacity and anisotropic thermal expansion were measured for $\text{Ba}{({\text{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Co}}_{x})}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ $(x=0,0.038,0.074)$ single crystals. Thermal expansion is anisotropic and, in tetragonal phase, is significantly higher along the $c$ axis. Previously reported phase transit…

Abstract Thermoformable bionanocomposites of chitin whisker‐ graft ‐polycaprolactone (CHW‐ g ‐PCL) were synthesized by initiating the ring‐opening polymerization of caprolactone monomer onto the CHW surface under microwave radiation. In this case, the “graft from” strategy contributed to long and dense “plasticizing”…
