Water-stable confined self-doping polyaniline nanocomplexes are successfully fabricated by nano-assembly using lauric acid both as a stabilizer and as a localized dopant. In particular, the colloidal stability of the polyaniline nanocomplexes in neutral pH and the photothermal potential by near-infrared light irradiat…
Recently, it was shown that the Woodcock-Angell-Cheeseman model for liquid silica [L. V. Woodcock, C. A. Angell, and P. Cheeseman, J. Chem. Phys. 65, 1565 (1976)] is remarkably close to having a liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP). We demonstrate that increasing the ion charge separates the global maxima of the respon…
Cell therapy represents a promising option for revascularization of ischemic tissues. However, injection of dispersed cells is not optimal to ensure precise homing into the recipient's vasculature. Implantation of cell-engineered scaffolds around the occluded artery may obviate these limitations. Here, we employed the…
In the field of thermoelectric energy conversion, oxide materials show promising potential due to their good stability in oxidizing environments. Hence, the influence of oxygen partial pressure during synthesis on the thermoelectric properties of Cu-Delafossites at high temperatures was investigated in this study. For…
We report ferroelectricity around ∼88 K that appears well below T N (∼25 K), unlike other members of RCrO3 series. A synchrotron diffraction study suggests that the occurrence of ferroelectricity in NdCrO3 is coupled to the structural transformation from centrosymmetric Pnma to a non-centrosymmetric Pna21 space group.…
We evaluated the performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with a 50 nm thin silver (Ag) cathode surface treated with cerium oxide (CeO(x)) by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The performances of bare and ALD-treated Ag cathodes were evaluated on gadolinia-doped ceria (GDC) electrolyte supporting cells with a platin…
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) filled with different species of cobalt (metallic cobalt, cobalt oxide) were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method through cobaltocene pyrolysis. A systematic study was performed to correlate different experimental conditions with the structure and characteristics of…
We present a novel fragmented-film surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate produced by nanosphere lithography and direct peel-off for SERS efficacy enhancement. The 2D hexagonally close-packed polystyrene nanospheres on the polydimethylsilozane (PDMS) substrate are covered with silver film and then directly…
Herein we report the synthesis, temperature-dependent X-ray structures (100, 150, 200, 250, 273, and 300 K), and solid-state emissive properties of the antimony-copper(I)-iodo cluster [Cu4(I)4(Sb(i)Pr3)4] (1), supported by the trialkylantimony donor Sb(i)Pr3. Overall, 1 exhibits a distorted cuboidal structure, wherein…
Abstract A cycloaddition–retroelectrocyclization reaction between tetracyanoethylene and two zinc phthalocyanines (ZnIIPcs) bearing one or four anilino‐substituted alkynes has been used to install a strong, electron‐accepting tetracyanobuta‐1,3‐diene (TCBD) between the electron‐rich ZnIIPc and aniline moieties. A comb…
A coating based on collagen with self-healing properties was developed for applications in mechanical components that are prone to abrasion due to contact with a counter surface. The inherent swelling behavior of collagen in water was exploited as the fundamental mechanism behind self-healing of a wear scar formed on…
The influence of non-equilibrium and equilibrium processes during growth of LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) heterostructures is analyzed. We investigate the electronic properties of LAO/STO heterostructures obtained at constant growth conditions after annealing in different oxygen atmospheres within the typical growth window…
We theoretically investigate the mechanical response of a transient network, which is characterised by dynamically breaking and re-forming crosslinks, and accounts for the finite chain extensibility (thus permitting the large deformations to be described). We build the general theory that incorporates the widely accep…
This paper is focused on the variable-range hopping of electrons in semiconductor nanocrystal (NC) films below the critical doping concentration ${n}_{c}$ at which it becomes metallic. The hopping conductivity is described by the Efros-Shklovskii law, which depends on the localization length of electrons. We study how…
Material properties can now be predicted reliably from first-principles calculations [Also see Research Article by Lejaeghere et al. ]
High-molecular-weight celluloses (which even include bacterial cellulose) can be dissolved fully in methyltrioctylphosphonium acetate/[D6 ]DMSO solutions to allow the measurement of resonance-overlap-free 1 D and 2 D NMR spectra. This is achieved by a simple and non-destructive dissolution method, without solvent supp…
This paper reports the structural, electrical, and ultraviolet (UV) light detection properties of n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction diodes. The ZnO nanocrystalline thin films were deposited over p-Si (100) substrates using RF sputter deposition. The structural and surface morphological properties of the deposited films were s…
Examples are shown of protein crystallization in, and data collection from, solutions sandwiched between thin polymer films using vapour-diffusion and batch methods. The crystallization platform is optimal for both visualization and in situ data collection, with the need for traditional harvesting being eliminated. In…
Abstract The dielectric and electromechanical properties of LiNbO 3 -modified (1– x ) [0.91Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 –0.09Ba 0.70 Ca 0.30 TiO 3 ]– x LiNbO 3 (abbreviated as (BiNa)TiO 3 –(BaCa)TiO 3 –LN) lead-free piezoceramics were investigated. The electrical properties revealed that the addition of LiNbO 3 (LN) induces a…
The most significant feature of nonwoven fabric is made directly from fibers in a continuous production line. While manufacturing nonwovens, some conventional textile operations, such as carding, drawing, roving, spinning, weaving or knitting, are partially or completely eliminated. For this reason the choice of fiber…
