A novel and facile method for the synthesis of high molecular weight polyimides by low temperature solution polycondensation has been developed. This activated polycondensation method is based on the use in situ of both chloro(trimethyl)silane (CTMS) and a base such as pyridine (Py) as polycondensation promoters. The…
The present study demonstrates the creation of a stable, superhydrophobic surface by coupling of successive Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) depositions of micro- and nano-sized (1.5 µm/50 nm, 1.0 µm/50 nm, and 0.5 µm/50 nm) silica particles on a glass substrate with the formation of a self-assembled monolayer of dodecyltrichlo…
Photoluminescence enhancement, photoetching and photostability of CdS nanocrystals were investigated under light irradiation. Strongly photoluminescent nanocrystals were obtained when the nanocrystal was weakly photoexcited in an aqueous solution at pH = 11 in the presence of oxygen. With the support of XPS measuremen…
A novel nonacidic matrix protein from pearl oyster nacre has been purified by cation-exchange chromatography. It was designated N40 for the nacreous protein of approximately 40 kDa. On the basis of the extraction method (with Tris-buffered Milli-Q water) and amino acid compositions (Gly- and Ala-rich), N40 was inferre…
The syntheses of the first mixed-metal CeIVMnIV complexes are reported. [CeMn2O3(O2CMe)(NO3)4(H2O)2(bpy)2](NO3) (1; bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) was obtained from the reaction of Mn(NO3)2.xH2O and bpy with (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 in a 1:1:2 molar ratio in 25% aqueous acetic acid. The complexes [CeMn6O9(O2CR)9(X)(H2O)2]y+ (R=Me, X=NO3-…
We numerically investigate the formation of stable clusters of overlapping particles in certain systems interacting via purely repulsive, bounded pair potentials. In close vicinity of a first-order phase transition between a disordered and an ordered structure, clusters are encountered already in the fluid phase which…
We demonstrate that three different types of Co 2+ ions are present in Co 2+ doped colloidal ZnO (Co:ZnO) quantum dots. First, absorbance and luminescence spectroscopy confirm that part of the Co 2+ ions replace Zn 2+ ions in the Co:ZnO core. Furthermore, an amine surface treatment reveals that an important fraction o…
Abstract With the rising cost of petroleum‐based fibers, the utilization of plant fibers in the manufacture of polymer–matrix composites is gaining importance worldwide. The scope of this study was to examine the perspective of the use of pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) as reinforcements for polypropylene (PP). These fi…
Two series of phosphorus dendrimers functionalized by maleimide derivatives are synthesized, as well as three new monomeric maleimide derivatives, of which two are characterized by X-ray diffraction. The first series of phosphorus dendrimers possesses maleimide derivatives as end groups (6-48, from generation 0 to gen…
Abstract Die Bildung von Peptidfibrillen spielt eine bedeutende Rolle bei vielen Krankheiten, die durch Amyloidablagerungen verursacht werden. Intensiv erforscht wird die Bildung von Fibrillen aber auch wegen ihres großen Anwendungspotenzials in der Bionanotechnologie, wo Hydrogele aus Peptidfibrillen als Zellgerüste…
Multimillion-to-billion-atom molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the interaction of voids in silica glass under hydrostatic tension. Nanometer size cavities nucleate in intervoid ligaments as a result of the expansion of Si-O rings due to a bond-switching mechanism, which involves bond breaking…
Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) capped with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were prepared in aqueous solutions from Cd(NO3)2 and Na2S. Influence of the COOH/Cd ratio (0.8-12.5), reaction pH (5.5 and 7.5), and PAA molecular weight (2100 and 5100 g/mol) on the particle size, colloidal stability, and photoluminescence…
The emission from electronically excited sodium atoms (Na*) from aqueous solutions containing NaCl or sodium dodecylsulfate under ultrasonic irradiation is studied. Evidence is presented that strongly suggests Na* emission arises from a population of bubbles that are sonochemically active but not producing sonolumines…
The adsorption of bovine hemoglobin (BHb) onto colloidal spherical polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) is studied by a combination of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The SPBs consist of a polystyrene core onto which long chains of poly(styrene sulfonic acid) are graft…
We describe the synthesis and characterization of element-encoded polystyrene nanoparticles with diameters on the order of 100 nm and a narrow size distribution. Individual particles contain ca. 10(3) chelated lanthanide ions, of either a single element or a mixture of elements. These particles were effectively intern…
The elaboration of organo−silica-based hybrid monoliths exhibiting a hierarchical trimodal porous structure (micro-, meso-, and macroporosity) with tunable functionality have been synthesized for the first time via high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) process and lyotropic mesophases. Through one-pot synthesis, many or…
Particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is a new robust stochastic evolutionary computational algorithm based on the movement and intelligence of swarms, is proposed to estimate parameters of the Bouc–Wen hysteresis model. The performance of the PSO method is compared with the more common genetic algorithms (GAs) in…
A three-tiered organization of ZnO nanobuilding blocks into hollow spherical conformations has been developed. This self-assembly approach demonstrates new capacities of template-assisted synthesis in the architecture of hollow structures as well as in the construction of structurally complex nanomaterials.
This article describes a facile l -cysteine-assisted solvothermal method in a mixed solution made of ethylenediamine (en) and distilled water for the large-scale synthesis of various PbS 1D and 3D novel nanostructures. By varying process parameters such as the molar ratio of Pb(OAc) 2 to l -cysteine (reactants), the v…
Many different processing techniques are currently being used to produce tissue regeneration devices from polyesters in the polylactide/polyglycolide family. While it is generally well recognized that processing techniques influence bulk mechanical and degradation properties of these materials, the effects on surface…
