Epitaxially grown heterogeneous nanowires present dislocations at the interface between the phases if their radius is big. We consider a corresponding variational discrete model with quadratic pairwise atomic interaction energy. By employing the notion of Gamma-convergence and a geometric rigidity estimate, we perform…

A hybrid epoxy resin with intrinsic self healing properties has been prepared from a bifunctional Diels-Alder (DA) adduct. The obtained network, based on conventional Diglycidyl ether of BisphenolA (DGEBA) and DA epoxy, leads to simultaneous tuning of physical-chemical properties and healing capability. The self-repai…

The influence of the polymer length and the valency of guest-modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the stability, size tunability and formation dynamics of supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) has been studied. SNPs were formed by molecular recognition between multi- and monovalent supramolecular building blocks with…

Hydrogen uptake during the mechanochemistry of lithium nitride under 9 MPa hydrogen pressure has been analyzed by means of in situ solid-gas absorption and ex situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. In situ hydrogenation curves show two H-sorption steps leading to an overall hydrogen uptake of 9.8 wt% H after 3 hou…

Graphyne, a novel carbon allotrope, is a two-dimensional lattice of sp 2 + sp 1 hybridization-type carbon atoms, similar to graphene. The initiation and development of wrinkles in single-layer graphynes ( α-, β-, γ-, and 6, 6, 12-graphyne) subjected to in-plane circular shearing are investigated. In comparison with gr…

The study of conducting polymers (CPs) is of high current interest due to their wide application in a range of optical and electronic devices. Poly(3,4-Ethylenedioxythiophene)-Poly(Styrene Sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is considered one of the most electrochemically and thermally stable CPs currently available. In many appli…

Photoreactive gold nanoparticles (NP) can be encoded in a spatially resolved fashion using direct laser writing techniques into variable patterns. The surface of the gold nanoparticles is imparted with photoreactivity by tethering photo-caged dienes ('photoenols'), which are able to undergo a rapid Diels-Alder cycload…

An economic and low toxicity gold plating process for bio-compatible device fabrication was investigated. A tiopronin-gold complex altered by mercaptothiodiazole or mercaptotriazole derivatives gave a form of the complex that could be reduced autocatalytically to enable electroless gold plating. Catalytic ca. 5 nm gol…
