We previously showed that long-lived nanoemulsions, seeming initially vesicular, might be prepared simply by diluting and cooling (quenching) warm microemulsions with n-hexadecane with precooled water. In this paper, we confirm that these systems are vesicular dispersions when fresh, and they can be made with similar…
The estimation of pressure and temperature histories, which are required to understand chemical pathways in condensed phase explosives during detonation, is discussed. We argue that estimates made from continuum models, calibrated by macroscopic experiments, are essential to inform modern, atomistic-based reactive che…
2D elastodynamic problem for a finite elastic anisotropic solid with nanosized cavities is worked out in this paper. The solid under plane strain conditions is subjected to time-harmonic load. The developed computational tool for the steady-state problem is boundary integral equation method based on frequency-dependen…
The accumulation and removal efficiency of Fe by Centella asiatica was carried out at various Fe concentrations in soil treatments (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg Fe/kg soil). Iron accumulation in different parts of C. asiatica (leaf, stem and root) was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Factorial expe…
Metamagnets, which exhibit a transition from a low-magnetization to a high-magnetization state induced by the applied magnetic field, have recently been highlighted as promising materials for controllable broadband absorption. Here we show results of a multifrequency electron spin resonance (ESR) investigation of the…
The present work shows the results of preparation, characterization, and application of DNA and DNA-PEDOT:PSS coatings as HTM in small dye sensitized solar cells. The samples were analyzed by impedance, UV-Vis and microscopic measurements. The measured ionic conductivities of the DNA membranes were of 2.5×10−5 and 1.6…
We apply multiscale methods to describe the strained growth of multiple layers of C60 on a thin film of pentacene. We study this growth in the presence of a monolayer pentacene step to compare our simulations to recent experimental studies by Breuer and Witte of submonolayer growth in the presence of monolayer steps.…
/α) over a broad wavelength range from 360 to 900 nm, and reaches their maximums at the shortest measured wavelength. In addition, comparisons with Au-NRAF and Ag-NRAF samples further confirm that Al-NRAF has better nonlinear optical properties in the blue and near-UV wavelength regions. These results indicate that Al…
Restricted motions in proteins (e.g., N-H bond dynamics) are studied effectively with NMR. By analogy with restricted motions in liquid crystals (LC), the local ordering has in the past been primarily represented by potentials comprising the L = 2, |K| = 0, 2 spherical harmonics. However, probes dissolved in LCs exper…
Vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA) is an intermediate in the synthesis of vanillin and is an end-stage metabolite. In the present work, VMA (sodium salt) was selectively synthesized from guaiacol and sodium glyoxylate which can be sourced from biomass valorization. Different catalysts were prepared; out of which silica enca…
Pore-filled membranes with scintillating properties have been synthesized for sensing α-emitting radionuclides. The membranes have been prepared by in situ UV-initiator-induced polymerization of monomer bis[2-(methacryloxy)ethyl] phosphate in pores of the host membranes, poly(propylene) and poly(ethersulfone). The pol…
The effect of γ-poly(glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) on the self-assembly of collagen was studied. Under physiological conditions, the kinetic curves for fibril formation showed that the turbidity of collagen/γ-PGA blends at 313 nm was increased with the addition of γ-PGA. Furthermore, it was shown using both field-emission sc…
Tubulins are evolutionarily conserved proteins that reversibly polymerize and direct intracellular traffic. Of the tubulin family only αβ-tubulin forms stable dimers. We investigated the monomer-dimer equilibrium of rat brain αβ-tubulin using analytical ultracentrifugation and fluorescence anisotropy, observing tubuli…
Abstract Permeable mesoporous shells with a hollow interior are an important class of materials for the design and synthesis of nanoscale reactors and delivery vehicles. We started from Al‐based metal–organic framework MIL‐96(Al) nanocrystals, and herein we report a transformative method to prepare submicron reactors…
Solution refluxing and high-pressure homogenization technique were reported for synthesizing nanofluids based on modified poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) (M-PANB) as base fluid and carbon black (CB)/carbon black-graphene oxide (CB-GO) as filler. The physiochemical properties were studied to analyze the structure, mor…
Although hydrogels have been widely investigated for their use in materials science, nanotechnology, and novel pharmaceuticals, mechanistic details explaining their water-absorbent features are not well understood. We performed an all-atom molecular dynamics study of the structural transformation of chitosan nanohydro…
Synthetic nerve conduits have emerged as an alternative to guide axonal regeneration in peripheral nerve gap injuries. Migration of Schwann cells (SC) from nerve stumps has been demonstrated as one essential factor for nerve regeneration in nerve defects. In this experiment, SC viability and migration were investigate…
In 2012 Coey proposed a theory on the mechanism of magnetic water treatment based on the gradient of the applied field rather than its absolute strength. We tested this theory by measuring the effect of very weak field magnets (≤ 10 G) containing strong magnetic inhomogeneities (ΔB = 770 G·m−1 (WCM 62081992) and 740 G…
Many experimental studies about the harmful effects of crystalline silica on human health are present in the literature. However, the relationship between toxicological properties and surface functionalities of quartz is not yet fully explained because of the large intrinsic variability of natural samples. Specific su…
Nanohydrogels were synthesized by microemulsion polymerization. These nanohydrogels were pre-designed to be pH and temperature stimuli-response materials, using N-isopropylacrilamide as a base monomer and 1-vinyl imidazole as ionizable comonomer. The pH sensitivity was confirmed by measuring the increase or decrease i…
