By combining targeted molecular dynamics (TMD) simulations, umbrella sampling, and the weighted histogram analysis method (WHAM), we have calculated the potential of mean force (PMF) for the transition between the bound and free states of 90 peptide amphiphiles (PAs) in aqueous solution, with the bound state correspon…
Using the framework of transformation optics, this paper presents a detailed analysis of a non-singular square cloak for acoustic, out-of-plane shear elastic and electromagnetic waves. Analysis of wave propagation through the cloak is presented and accompanied by numerical illustrations. The efficacy of the regularize…
Rice husk and nanoclay (montmorillonite)-filled low-density polyethylene composite films were prepared by extrusion blown film. Maleic anhydride-modified polyethylene was used as compatibiliser in various concentrations ranging from 0 to 8 parts per hundred. X-ray difractograms showed an increase in interlayer spacing…
Conducting polymers are attractive biomaterials for tissue engineering applications as they can deliver electrical signals to cells for the regeneration of injured tissues. To make conducting materials relevant and effective as tissue engineering scaffolds, incorporation of three-dimensional features and contact guida…
Colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) with radial-position-controlled doping were synthesized to study the effect of the binding symmetry around Mn 2+ dopant. For the four samples ZnSe:Mn/ZnSe, ZnSe/ZnS(2 ML):Mn/ZnS(2 ML), ZnSe/ZnS(1 ML):Mn/ZnS(2 ML), and ZnSe:Mn/ZnS(2 ML), which were in sequence of binding asymmetry around Mn…
Interest in applying conducting polymers (CPs) to biomedical applications has been gathering momentum in this decade. In the beginning, CPs attracted attention mainly because of the feasibility of applying electrical stimuli through CPs for tissue regeneration. Today, CPs have been used in various biomedical applicati…
Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations, we study the swelling of lamellae-forming diblock copolymer films in a nonselective solvent. Both the parallel and the perpendicular orientations of lamellae in the film are studied. The swelling of the film with parallel lamellae is accompanied by an increase of their…
Structural disorder and distortion play a significant role in phase transformations. Experimentally, electron diffraction in the transmission electron microscope offers the ability to characterize disorder via the pair distribution function (PDF) at high spatial resolution. In this work, energy-filtered in situ electr…
Herein, we employ Ag@TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) investigations of TiO2-N719 dye interfaces. In situ electrochemical SERS investigations of the Ag@TiO2-N719 interaction are systematically carried out under a series of electrode-potential controls. By comparing the potenti…
We introduce the photonic analog of electronic van Hove singularities (VHS) in artificial media (metamaterials) with hyperbolic dispersion. Unlike photonic and electronic crystals, the VHS in metamaterials are unrelated to the underlying periodicity and occur due to slow-light modes in the structure. We show that the…
In this article, we demonstrate that the thermal conductivity of nanostructured porous silicon is reduced by amorphization and also that this amorphous phase in porous silicon can be created by swift (high-energy) heavy ion irradiation. Porous silicon samples with 41%-75% porosity are irradiated with 110 MeV uranium i…
The self-assembly of three cosmetically active peptide amphiphiles C16-GHK, C16-KT, and C16-KTTKS (C16 denotes a hexadecyl, palmitoyl chain) used in commercial skin care products is examined. A range of spectroscopic, microscopic, and X-ray scattering methods is used to probe the secondary structure, aggregate morphol…
Interstitial loop coarsening by Ostwald ripening can provide insight into single point defects but is very difficult to observe in α-iron and many other metals where nanoscale vacancy clusters dissociate and annihilate loops. We show that by implanting helium in the samples at a carefully chosen energy, it is possible…
The introduction of polyoxometalates (POMs) into the metal–organic complex synthetic system containing copper ions and bichelate-bridging ligands (bis(3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazole-1-ylmethyl)benzene, bppmb) led to the isolation of three new organic–inorganic hybrid compounds [Cu II L o ] 2 H[BW 12 O 40 ]·4H 2 O ( 1 ), [Cu I…
ABSTRACT Polypropylene/carbon nanotube/exfoliated graphite nanoplatelet (PP/CNT/xGnP) composites have been fabricated to evaluate their electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) and soundproofing. An EMI SE of 36.5 dB at 1250 MHz was measured for the 80/10/10 wt % PP/CNT/xGnP composite; its sound t…
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Ag nanoparticles (nAg) of two different sizes (20 and 80 nm) and Ag(+) on the immune system of the freshwater mussel Elliptio complanata. Mussels were exposed to increasing concentrations of nAg and dissolved Ag (AgNO3) for 48 h at 15°C and concentration of 0, 0.…
A sensor was made of a polymer composite composed of electrically-conductive carbon nanotubes embedded in elastic polyurethane. The composite was prepared using a polyurethane filter membrane, enmeshing it, and melding together with carbon nanotubes. Testing has shown that the composite can be elongated as much as 400…
The details of poly(butylene fumarate) (PBF) as highly effective nucleating agent for poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) were systematically studied via X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter, polarized optical microscopy, and atom force microscopy. All results show that PBF can significantly improve the mel…
Graphene exhibits unique electronic properties, and its low dimensionality, structural robustness, and high work-function make it very promising as the charge storage media for memory applications. Along with the development of miniaturized and scaled up devices, nanostructured graphene emerges as an ideal material ca…
A nanostructure consisting of rectangular polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) nanodomains packed into a hexagonal lattice was observed in POSS-containing A 2 B star-branched polymers. The A 2 B star-branched polymers, which comprised polystyrene (A) and bulky POSS-containing poly(methacrylate) (PMAPOSS) (B) un…
