We report on a real-time monitoring method for the assembly of a small number of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by dielectrophoresis (DEP). A time-varying impedance model was developed to estimate the number of MWNTs which span an electrode gap indicated by the instantaneous decrease of gap impedance during DEP.…

Abstract The comb‐type polyelectrolyte, poly(ethylene glycol)‐ graft ‐poly(allyl amine) (PEG‐g‐PAA), was synthesized to prepare polyion complex (PIC) micelles with Aspergillus Niger Glucose oxidase (GOD). Even after mixing GOD and PEG‐g‐PAAs with various PEG contents, the resulting mixtures remained transparent but th…

Abstract Amorphous poly(ether‐ether‐ketone) (PEEK) progressively crosslinks on irradiation with 11.0 MeV protons, and this has a marked effect on the extent of crystallinity that subsequently develops and on the kinetics of the high temperature isothermal crystallization. The extent of crystallinity with time was anal…

In the hot debate on arthropod relationships, Crustaceans and the morphology of their appendages play a pivotal role. To gain new insights into how arthropod appendages evolved, developmental biologists recently have begun to examine the expression and function of Drosophila appendage genes in Crustaceans. However, ce…

We examine a simple hard-disk fluid with no long-range interactions on the two-dimensional space of constant negative Gaussian curvature, the hyperbolic plane. This geometry provides a natural mechanism by which global crystalline order is frustrated, allowing us to construct a tractable, one-parameter model of disord…
