A well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), namely, naproxen (Np), was conjugated with β-alanine and various combinations of amino alcohols and l-alanine. Quite a few bioconjugates, thus synthesized, were capable of gelling pure water, NaCl solution (0.9 wt %), and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4…

Graphene is an atomically thin, transparent, and conductive electrode material of interest for sensors and energy conversion and storage devices, among others. Fully realizing its potential will require robust and general methods to anchor active functionality onto its pristine basal plane. Such strategies should not…

Many biomedical applications benefit from responsive polymer coatings. The properties of poly(dopamine) (PDA) films can be affected by codepositing dopamine (DA) with the temperature-responsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNiPAAm). We characterize the film assembly at 24 and 39 °C using DA and aminated or car…

In this work, poly 12-(3-amino phenoxy) dodecane-1-thiol surfactant self assembled on silver nanoparticles was synthesized and characterized by different techniques. The synthesized polymeric surfactant and its nanostructure with the prepared silver nanoparticles were examined as non-toxic corrosion inhibitors for car…

The system Li(x)Na(1-x)NbO3 has been studied by using a combination of X-ray and neutron powder diffraction and (23)Na solid-state NMR spectroscopy. For x = 0.05 we confirm a single polar orthorhombic phase. For 0.08 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 phase mixtures of this orthorhombic phase, together with a rhombohedral phase, isostructura…

Polyphosphazenes are macromolecules with a chain of alternating phosphorus and nitrogen atoms and with two (usually) organic side groups linked to each phosphorus. Although the earliest poly(organophosphazenes) were essentially linear polymers each bearing only one type of side group along the chain, research in our p…

We present an analytical model to quantitatively study the effect of collisions between the atoms of a plume and the molecules of a surrounding gas on the nonstoichiometry of lithium-containing oxide thin films deposited using pulsed laser deposition. A comparison of the experimental data and the model ascertain the i…

This paper reports a melt blend of poly(lactic acid)/liquid natural rubber with Cloisite C30B (C30B). The mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of poly(lactic acid)/liquid natural rubber and nanocomposites were investigated. Results indicate that Young’s modulus and flexural modulus increased with the addit…

In this paper, we show super-resolving single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers with a sub-20 nanometer resolution in a wide-field localization microscope based on the discovery of photoluminescence blinking in high-pressure high-temperature nanodiamonds (NDs). The photon statistics reveals that NDs containing not only si…

Abstract Finely dispersed powders of neodymium and gadolinium hafnates (Nd 2 Hf 2 O 7 and Gd 2 Hf 2 O 7 ) with pyrochlore structure were synthesized. Variations in particle size and morphology during thermal treatment under different conditions (1273–1673 K, 2–4 h) were studied for these compounds. The vaporization be…

Supported gold nanoparticles are promising catalysts for production of H2O2 from O2 and H2. Size, structure, and palladium doping effects play the key role in activity and selectivity of a gold catalyst. We performed a study of the influence of Au20 and Au19Pd structure features on the main steps of H2O2 formation on…

What does the layered structure of iron-based, high-temperature superconductors mean for the symmetry of the electron-pairing mechanism responsible for their superconductivity? A new theory predicts that the spatial symmetry of the single trilayer building block of these materials leads to a new form of electron pairi…
