Fluorescence microscopy techniques are used to investigate diffusion and wetting at the interior surface of template-synthesized silica nanotubes. Imaging of individual nanotubes reveals that complete modification of the nanotube interiors with hydrophobic ligands is attained during nanotube synthesis. Fluorescence re…
Abstract Blends of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) in the amorphous state were miscible in all of the blend compositions studied, as evidenced by a single, composition‐dependent glass‐transition temperature observed for each blend composition. The variation in the glass‐transiti…
Wood fiber reinforced polypropylene composites containing different types of wood fiber (hard and softwood fiber) were prepared by an injection molding and a compression molding process. Influence of different processing systems and compatibilizer on the composite mechanical properties was investigated. The present st…
Conducting poly(o-toluidine) (POT) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) nanocomposite (POT-MWNTs) was synthesized by oxidative polymerization. Chloroform solutions of the material were used for the optical characterizations by means of UV-visible spectroscopy and for the fabrication of Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) film…
Controlling the spatial organization of cells is vital in engineering tissues that require precisely defined cellular architectures. For example, functional nerves or blood vessels form only when groups of cells are organized and aligned in very specific geometries. Yet, scaffold designs incorporating spatially define…
The buildup of layer-by-layer assemblies onto gold surfaces from water-soluble charged polyelectrolytes and proteins is examined using quartz crystal microgravimetry (QCM) and electrochemical techniques. Polyelectrolytes such as poly(styrenesulfonate) and poly(ester sulfonic acid) (Eastman AQ-29D polymer) adsorb spont…
A scalable method for controlled synthesis of luminescent compound semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) using microemulsion-gas contacting at room temperature is reported. The technique exploits the dispersed phase of a microemulsion to form numerous identical nanoreactors. ZnSe quantum dots were synthesized by r…
We have studied the hydrolytic degradation of high molecular weight poly(p-dioxanone), PPDX, sutures. The samples were degraded either in distilled water or in a phosphate buffer at 37 degrees C, and the starting viscosity-average molecular weight was 130 kg/mol. The hydrolytic degradation of PPDX occurs in an approxi…
Nanostructure composite silica monoliths (HOM- n ) with three-dimensional (3-D) structures and controllable pore size were fabricated by using microemulsion lyotropic liquid crystal mesophase as templates under acidic conditions. By addition of alkanes with different molecular size (C 6 - C 19 alkyl chains) into the p…
Visible-light-induced photogeneration of silver nanoparticles in a diffraction-limited focal region is demonstrated. The photochemical growth depends quadratically on illumination intensity indicative of a multiphoton generation process, with the identity of the silver nanoparticles confirmed by UV/vis absorption spec…
Abstract This article is dedicated to the study of the thermal parameters of composite materials. A nonlinear least‐squares criterion is used on experimental transfer functions to identify the thermal conductivity and the diffusivity of aluminum‐polymer composite materials. The density measurements were achieved to de…
Abstract The composites of biodegradable poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) reinforced with short Hildegardia populifolia natural fiber were prepared by melt mixing followed by compression molding. The mechanical properties, thermal properties, and morphologies of the composites were studied via static and dynamic mechan…
Abstract This book provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to high energy electron diffraction and elastic and inelastic scattering of high energy electrons, with particular emphasis on applications to modern electron microscopy. Starting from a survey of fundamental phenomena, the authors introduce the…
Polymorphism phenomenon of melt-crystallized poly(butylene adipate) (PBA) has been studied by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It has been found that the isothermal crystallization leads to the formation of PBA polymorphic crystals,…
The response of a model micro-electrochemical system to a time-dependent applied voltage is analyzed. The article begins with a fresh historical review including electrochemistry, colloidal science, and microfluidics. The model problem consists of a symmetric binary electrolyte between parallel-plate, blocking electro…
We propose that one of the best grounds for the materials design from the viewpoint of {\it electron correlation} such as ferromagnetism, superconductivity is the atomically controlled nanostructures and heterointerfaces, as theoretically demonstrated here from three examples with first-principles calculations: (i) Ba…
Using muon spin spectroscopy we have found that, for both ${\mathrm{N}\mathrm{a}}_{x}{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ ($0.6\ensuremath{\le}x\ensuremath{\le}0.9$) and three- and four-layer cobaltites, a common low temperature magnetic state (which in some cases is manifest as an incommensurate spin density wave) f…
Recently, an environmental criteria was required for every product and process. The great amount of pollution caused by the paper and cellulose industry effluents, especially those produced from nonwood fibrous materials, e.g., rice straw and bagasse. Using new technologies or redesigning products to meet new environm…
The rotation-inversion controversy for the photoisomerization mechanism of azobenzene has been addressed on the basis of the CASSCF calculations for the excited-state relaxed surface scan along the CNN bending (inversion), the CNNC torsion (rotation), and the concerted CNN bending (concerted inversion) reaction pathwa…
We have used transistor devices with carbon nanotubes as the conducting channel to explore the interaction between the nanotube surface and streptavidin, both in dry and in buffer environments. We find charge transfer between the protein and the nanotubes in both cases. Comparison with simpler molecules allows the est…
