Introduction . Chitosan is a nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymer obtained from chitin by N-deacetylation using strong alkali. Chitosan in a form of a bilayer skin regenerating template can act as a scaffold for regeneration. Integra is a two-layer skin regeneration system, constructed of a matrix of cro…

A surface molecular imprinted layer-by-layer (SMILbL) film was fabricated on a polyethersulfone (PES) porous membrane substrate for selective filtration of cations and anions. The LbL deposition procedure and the ultraviolet (UV) cross-linking of the modified membrane were monitored by attenuated total reflection-infr…

We investigate numerically the structure, thermodynamics, and relaxation behavior of a family of (n, 6) Lennard-Jones-like glass-forming binary mixtures interacting via pair potentials with variable softness, fixed well depth, and fixed well depth location. These constraints give rise to progressively more negative at…

A first-principles study on the quasiparticles energy and optical absorption spectrum of fluorographene is presented by employing the GW + Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE) method with many-electron effects included. The calculated band gap is increased from 3.0 eV to 7.3 eV by the GW approximation. Moreover, the optical…

Transistors based on III-V semiconductor materials have been used for a variety of analog and high frequency applications driven by the high electron mobilities in III-V materials. On the other hand, the hole mobility in III-V materials has always lagged compared to group-IV semiconductors such as silicon and germaniu…

We have performed first-principles calculations to study the lattice vibrational modes and their Raman activities in silicon nanowires (SiNWs). Two types of characteristic vibrational modes are examined: high-frequency optical modes and low-frequency confined modes. Their frequencies have opposite size dependence with…

Abstract Photosensitive main chain liquid crystalline poly (benzylidene‐ether)s were synthesized by Claisen‐Schmidt polycondensation reaction of 4,4′‐Diformyl‐α,ω‐diphenoxyalkanes with acetone, cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone. The diformyl precursors were synthesized from 4‐hydroxybenzaldehyde and dibromoalkanes of v…

Interfacial affinity between lignin model compound (dehydrogenation polymer [DHP]) and cellulose nanocristals (CN) was studied before building a nanocomposite cellulose/lignin in multilayer form by spin-coating method. The adsorption isotherm of DHP was measured by ellipsometry at the liquid/CN film interface and show…

Abstract Monodispersed copolymer emulsions, each with a different polymer particle size, were used to investigate the effect of particle size on the electrical and thermomechanical properties of carbon black (CB)‐filled segregated network composites. These emulsions were synthesized with equal moles of methyl methacry…

Chitosan/agar (CS/AG) films were prepared by blending different proportions of chitosan and agar (considering chitosan as the main component) in solution forms. The chemical structure and the morphology of the obtained blended films were investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and field emission scanning…

We demonstrated a novel method to obtain charge neutral quasi-free-standing graphene on SiC (0001) from the buffer layer using fluorine from a molecular source, fluorinated fullerene (C(60)F(48)). The intercalated product is stable under ambient conditions and resistant to elevated temperatures of up to 1200 °C. Scann…

We investigate the effects of spin-flip scattering on the Hall transport and spectral properties of gapped Dirac fermions. We find that in the weak scattering regime, the Berry curvature distribution is dramatically compressed in the electronic energy spectrum, becoming singular at band edges. As a result the Hall con…

We examine the structure and the evolution of Ge islands epitaxially grown on vicinal Si(111) surfaces by scanning tunneling microscopy. Contrary to what is observed on the singular surface, three-dimensional Ge nanoislands form directly through the elastic relaxation of step-edge protrusions during the unstable step-…

We predict an unconventional magnetic ground state in A$_y$Fe$_{1.6}$Se$_2$ with $\sqrt{5}\times\sqrt{5}$ Fe-vacancy superstructure under hydraulic external pressure based on first-principles simulations. While the Fe-vacancy ordering persists up to at least $\sim $ 12GPa, the magnetic ground state goes at $\sim$10GPa…
