Bacteria obtained from the isolates of the biodiversity of riverine coast of Ganga identified as Bacillus Koriensis, when challenged with silver nitrate solution accumulated silver nanoparticles on the surface of its cell wall. These nanoparticles showed an absorption peak at 438 nm in UV-visible spectrum correspondin…
Here we report that block copolymer core-shell stars with a novel fluorescent, cross-linked and swollen core can be efficiently prepared by simply cross-linking the poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) block of polystyrene (PS)-block-P4VP diblock copolymer in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, the common solvent of the copolymer) us…
Nitronyl nitroxides with thiol groups, NitRs, provide exciting opportunities for investigating the properties of magnetic SAMs on gold surfaces. Here we have employed periodic/molecular DFT calculations to study the energetics, structure, bonding and magnetic exchange of SAMs of nitronyl nitroxide radical thiols on Au…
Different sources of wastewater and soil were used to screen for PHA-producing bacteria using biodiesel-derived waste glycerol as a sole carbon source by the Nile red staining method together with polymer determination. Twelve out of twenty-six isolates from biodiesel-contaminated wastewater consortium were screened f…
A silicon-containing diblock copolymer, poly(styrene)-b-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PS-PDMS), with PDMS cylinders in a PS matrix has been synthesized through sequential anionic polymerization. PS-PDMS thin film was prepared by spin coating on silicon wafer. Perpendicular PDMS cylinders in the PS-PDMS thin film can be obta…
A simple method for formation of CdS nanoparticles on the surface of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) aligned perpendicularly to the silicon substrate has been developed. The size and shape of the CdS nanoparticles were found to depend on the temperature of a solution containing CdCl(2), (NH(2))(2)CS, and NH(3) and the deposit…
The photo-induced superstructure of polymorph C of trans-[Fe(abpt)(2)(NCS)(2)] (abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole) is discovered as a commensurate modulated structure by single-crystal X-ray diffraction under irradiation. The crystal structure at 25 K before the photo-irradiation composed of two crys…
Combined scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-rays photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and density functional theory (DFT) studies have probed the bonding configurations and mobility of trimethylacetic acid (TMAA) molecules on the TiO(2)(110) surface at RT. Upon TMAA dissociation through deprotonation, two distinctly d…
Multilayer polymer films based on host–guest interactions were formed on gold surfaces covered with self-assembled monolayers terminated by β-cyclodextrin groups using poly(N-hydroxypropylmethacrylamide) derivatives bearing ferrocene or β-cyclodextrin moieties.
This feature article provides an overview of the preparation of functional nanofibers by combined electrospinning, controlled radical polymerization and 'Click Chemistry'. A combination of the powerful capability of controlled radical polymerization and 'Click Chemistry' for the synthesis of functional macromolecules…
We report on the thermoelectric properties of Fe2-x(V1+x-yTiy)Al alloys (−0.04≤x≤0.02, 0≤y≤0.10). While a small deviation from the stoichiometric Fe2VAl composition causes an enhancement in the Seebeck coefficient, a slight substitution of Ti for V leads to a further increase in the Seebeck coefficient and a decrease…
This paper presents a method for the computer aided design of high gain patch antenna with Zero-Refractive-Index (ZRI) metamaterials using Micro-Genetic Algorithm (MGA) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The ZRI metamaterials, which is composed of metallic grids with periodic square lattice and slices of medium…
In this communication, we report that the depletion zone thickness of the p-n junction between an n-type ZnO and a p-type polyaniline could be controlled by UV and visible light illumination. Based on this princile, photoresponsive sensors were constructed by combining polyaniline thin film and ZnO nanorods. Different…
The basic problem of weak interaction between odd electrons in graphene and silicene is considered in the framework of the broken spin symmetry approach. This approach exhibits the peculiarities of the odd-electron behavior via both enhanced chemical reactivity and magnetism.
The heat capacity of cotton microcrystalline cellulose was measured on an adiabatic vacuum calorimeter over the temperature range 80–330 K, and the differential thermal analysis data on the substance were obtained from 80 to 550 K. The enthalpy of cellulose interaction with water was measured at 303 K using a differen…
Dispersion polymerization of styrene was performed in the presence of methacryloxymethyltrimethoxysilane-derivatized silica seeds in various experimental conditions in order to get micron-sized polystyrene/silica clusters of controlled morphology. It is demonstrated that asymmetric clusters (dumbbell-like or snowman-l…
A luminescent phosphonium-containing polyelectrolyte (P1-OHx) has been prepared by polymerization of a chromophore-containing diphosphine. The resultant cationic polyelectrolyte displays solvatochromism and undergoes facile layer-by-layer assembly with anionic poly(acrylic acid) to form smooth, well-defined films. Sol…
Two extended nickel string complexes, [Ni(7)(bnapy)(4)Cl(2)](Cl)(2) (2) and [Ni(9)(bnapya)(4)Cl(2)](PF(6))(2) (3) (bnapy(2-) = 2,6-bis(1,8-naphthyridylamido)pyridine and bnapya(3-) = bis(6-(1,8-naphthyridylamido)pyridyl)amido), which possess two redox-active [Ni(2)(napy)(4)](3+) units, were synthesized and characteriz…
Novel ferromagnetic-dielectric particulate composites of Ni 0.5 Zn 0.5 Fe 1.95 O 4− δ (NZF) and PbZr 0.52 Ti 0.48 O 3 (PZT) were prepared by conventional ceramic method. The presence of two phases in composites was confirmed by XRD technique. The variations of dielectric constant () with frequency in the range of 100…
A novel family of lanthanide zinc carboxylate compounds was synthesized, characterized (structural determination and luminescent behavior), and investigated for utility as single-source precursors to Ln-Zn-O nanoparticles.
