Nanodiscs are composed of scaffold protein or peptide such as apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and phospholipids. Although peptide-based nanodiscs have an advantage to modulate the size of nanodiscs by changing phospholipid/peptide ratios, they are usually less stable than apoA-I-based nanodiscs. In this study, we designed…
A series of Sb-doped Mg2Si(1-x)Sb(x) compounds with the Sb content x within 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.025 were prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) combined with plasma activated sintering (PAS) method in less than 20 min. Thermodynamic parameters of the SHS process, such as adiabatic temperature, ignition te…
Recent experiments in optimally hole-doped iron arsenides have revealed a novel magnetically ordered ground state that preserves tetragonal symmetry, consistent with either a charge-spin density wave (CSDW), which displays a nonuniform magnetization, or a spin-vortex crystal (SVC), which displays a noncollinear magnet…
Abstract The Seebeck coefficient S and the electrical resistivity ρ of single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films were investigated as a function of the SWCNT diameter and carrier concentration. The S and ρ significantly changed in humid environments through p-type carrier doping. Experiments, combined with theoretical…
The influence of the chirality of semiconductor nanocrystals, CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) capped with L- and D-cysteine, on the efficiency of their uptake by living Ehrlich Ascite carcinoma cells is studied by spectral- and time-resolved fluorescence microspectroscopy. We report an evident enantioselective process whe…
The application of luminescent silver nanoparticles as imaging agents for neural stem and rat basophilic leukemia cells was demonstrated. The experimental size dependence of the extinction and emission spectra for silver nanoparticles were also studied. The nanoparticles were functionalized with fluorescent glycine di…
Manganese sulfide (MnS) thin films were synthesized via atomic layer deposition (ALD) using gaseous manganese bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl) and hydrogen sulfide as precursors. At deposition temperatures ≤150 °C phase-pure γ-MnS thin films were deposited, while at temperatures >150 °C, a mixed phase consisting of both γ-…
The practical applications of superhydrophobic self‐cleaning surfaces have been hampered by poor mechanical durability. Here, a composite coating that possesses excellent superhydrophobicity and robust mechanical durability is fabricated, consisting of a methyl silicone resin and a superhydrophobic silica sol. The coa…
Abstract Stimuli‐responsive photoluminescent (PL) materials have been widely used as fluorescent ink for data security applications. However, traditional fluorescent inks are limited in maintaining the secrecy of information because the inks are usually visible by naked eyes either under ambient light or UV‐light illu…
Soft shape memory polymers typically embody a permanently memorized geometry that cannot be altered, and therefore a new sample must be fabricated each time a new structure is required. We present a shape memory elastomeric composite featuring thermoplastic fibers as a fixing phase and a polyanhydride-based elastomer…
One of the main pathways by which engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) enter the environment is through land application of waste water treatment plant (WWTP) sewage sludges. WWTP sludges, enriched with Ag and ZnO ENPs or their corresponding soluble metal salts during anaerobic digestion and subsequently mixed with soil (t…
OBJECTIVES: The formation of biofilm around implants, which is induced by immediate bacterial colonization after installation, is the primary cause of post-operation infection. Initial surface modification is usually required to incorporate antibacterial agents on titanium (Ti) surfaces to inhibit biofilm formation. H…
The solvent-free chemical fixation of carbon dioxide with glycidyl ether functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) yields mono- and polydisperse multifunctional POSS cyclic carbonates. The silica equivalent content of POSS carbonates varies between 28.5 and 42.1 wt %, whereas 15.4–20.8 wt % carbon di…
Effective method of obtaining of the bactericidal bandage materials by impregnation of cotton fabric by aqueous solutions of silver and copper salts followed by a certain regime of heat treatment is developed. The study of obtained materials by methods of optical spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray phase anal…
We theoretically investigate an optimized tip-film system that supports in-situ measurement of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and tip-enhanced fluorescence (TEF) of dye molecules. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is proposed to precisely control the tip-film distance, and thus in-situ measurement of TERS…
The directed self-assembly (DSA) of block co-polymers (BCPs) can realize next-generation lithography for semiconductors and a variety of soft materials. It is imperative to simultaneously achieve many requirements such as a high resolution, orientation control of micro-domains, etch selectivity, rapid and mild anneali…
From first-principles calculations, we discover highly stable monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) ternary alloys consisting of group 5 and 7 transition metal elements. We show for Nb 1– x Re x S 2, Ta 1– x Re x S 2 and their selenide counterparts that the 1H ordered alloy structures for x ≤ 0.5 are therm…
Understanding enzyme stability and activity in extremophilic organisms is of great biotechnological interest, but many questions are still unsolved. Using 2-deoxy-D-ribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) as model enzyme, we have evaluated structural and functional characteristics of different orthologs from psychrophilic,…
ABSTRACT Polyurethane (PU) production with the use of vegetable oils is greatly appreciated by researchers due to their low cost, easy availability, and nontoxic nature. The addition of TiO2 in castor oil–based PU adhesive led to a remarkable enhancement in its mechanical and chemical resistance, an increase in Tg val…
Three-dimensional graphene networks are emerging as a new class of multifunctional constructs with a wide range of potential applications from energy storage to bioelectronics. Their multifunctional characteristics stem from the unique combination of mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, ultra-low density, a…
