Abstract We report on the synthesis of ZnO colloidal nanocrystal clusters with well‐tunable particle size and high water solubility by using a high‐temperature solution‐phase hydrolysis approach. The metal salt hydrolyzed after rapidly injecting a solution of sodium hydroxide in diethylene glycol. Poly(acrylic acid) s…
The transverse free vibration of nanobeams subjected to an initial axial tension based on nonlocal stress theory is presented. It considers the effects of nonlocal stress field on the natural frequencies and vibration modes. The effects of a small scale parameter at molecular level unavailable in classical macro-beams…
A simple approach to tune the optical properties of the hyperbranched conjugated polymers by only adjusting the terminal-backbone interactions has been reported in this article. Hyperbranched conjugated polyazomethines have been successfully prepared by the reaction of tetramine and dialdehyde. Not only varying the mo…
The similarity of the electronic structures of NaFeAs and other Fe pnictides has been demonstrated on the basis of first-principle calculations. The global double degeneracy of electronic bands along $X\text{\ensuremath{-}}M$ and $R\text{\ensuremath{-}}A$ direction indicates the instability of Fe pnictides and is expl…
We finely tuned the Au shell on a polystyrene microsphere of 2 microm in diameter to achieve a strong surface enhanced raman scattering (SERS)-active platform so that the molecules on a single microspherical shell surface produce their own fingerprint SERS spectra. The proposed microshells can be easily and individual…
Proline utilization A (PutA) from Escherichia coli is a flavoprotein that has mutually exclusive roles as a transcriptional repressor of the put regulon and a membrane-associated enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of proline to glutamate. Previous studies have shown that the binding of proline in the proline dehydrog…
Cyclic structures are often used to model and simulate long chain molecules due to the simplification of no chain-end effects. Many technically important and biologically relevant molecules are cyclics. Further, ring polymers display dramatic viscosity enhancement when blended with linear polymers in the melt. It has…
Mesoporous silica matrixes (SBA-15) and multilamellar vesicular (MLV) structures have been used for preparation of their nitrogen-containing carbon replicas from a pyrrole precursor. The materials have been characterized with microscopic (TEM), spectroscopic (XPS, Raman, EPR), and sorption techniques. The obtained dat…
We study the electronic structure of black phosphorus by combining state-of-the-art density functional theory, multiple scattering calculations and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The hybrid functionals HSE03 and PBE0 are tested to investigate whether they give an improved description compared to the more tradition…
The intercalation capability of poly(styrene- b -ethylene butylene- b -styrene) (SEBS) in nanocomposites of isotactic polypropylene (PP) with 5 wt % of organically modified montmorillonite (C20A), prepared by melt blending, has been investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studi…
The self-assembling abilities of several pseudopeptidic macrocycles have been thoroughly studied both in the solid (SEM, TEM, FTIR) and in solution (NMR, UV, CD, FTIR) states. Detailed microscopy revealed large differences in the morphology of the self-assembling micro/nanostructures depending on the macrocyclic chemi…
A novel co-templating approach involving syringe-squeezing and surfactant assembly was developed to prepare mesoporous amorphous alloy catalysts with tunable chambers and enhanced hydrogenation activity and selectivity.
The effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes were investigated in SZ95 sebocytes, IHK keratinocytes and reconstructed human epidermises. Carbon nanotubes were subjected to dispersion protocols leading to different agglomeration states. Toxicological methods were chosen and adapted in order to ensure compatibility with…
Based on the Hubbard model of strongly correlated systems, a reduction in the bandwidth of the electrons can yield a substantial change in the properties of the material. One method to modify the bandwidth is geometrically confined doping, i.e., the introduction of a (thin) dopant layer in a material. In this Rapid Co…
Abstract Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is a surface treatment technology enabling fabrication of adherent thick (50–150 µm) coatings on light metal alloys with significantly enhanced hardness, wear and corrosion resistance compared with other conventional treatments. The technology has the potential to play a si…
Strain dependence of electronic structures and work functions of both pristine and potassium doped (5,5) (armchair) and (9,0) (zigzag) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been thoroughly studied using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. We found that for pristine cases, the uniaxial strain has st…
Studies on the influence of foreign surfaces on the crystallization of polymers have demonstrated that the lamellae of the epitaxial polymer in the contact layer could be several times thicker than those produced by bulk crystallization under the same condition. It is, however, not clear that how far of the polymer me…
In situ characterization of low temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ZnO and aluminum-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) establishes a relationship between species adsorption, mass uptake, and surface electrical conductance during deposition and dopant atom incorporation. Conductance measured in situ during ZnO ALD oscillates…
An in situ electron microscopy study is presented of adhesion interactions between single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by mechanically peeling thin free-standing SWNT bundles using in situ nanomanipulation techniques inside a high-resolution scanning electron microscope. The in situ measurements clearly reveal the…
This work demonstrates a facile one-step aqueous synthesis of blue-emitting glutathione-capped ZnSe(1-x)Te(x) nanocrystals possessing photoluminescence quantum efficiencies of up to 20%. The incorporation of the NCs into a water dispersed polymer was performed in order to enhance their stability and processability res…
