Abstract Polymeric materials formed via layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly have promise for use as drug delivery vehicles. These multilayered materials, both as capsules and thin films, can encapsulate a high payload of toxic or sensitive drugs, and can be readily engineered and functionalized with specific properties. Thi…

Investigations on π-cell, a sandwich cell with the director rotating by 180°, demonstrate the possibility to obtain nematic transitions between two textures with different topologies, for instance between an untwisted state and a π-twisted one. These fast textural changes can be obtained by bulk order reconstruction,…

The present study was designed to explore the ability of polymeric nanoparticles to restore drug sensitivity to P-glycoprotein over-expressing cancer cells. A multidrug-resistant cell line 2780 AD and its sensitive parent cell line A2780 were studied in cell culture and as a xenografted tumour model. Paclitaxel was in…

Metal-ferroelectric-insulator-silicon diodes with Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNT) as the ferroelectric layer and Y2O3-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) as the insulating buffer layer have been fabricated. Measurements revealed that the memory window of the fabricated diode reduces with increasing operating temperature, which is due to t…

The role of charge compensatory additives viz. monovalent ions (Li + , K + , and Na + ) codoped with Tb 3+ in strontium silicate phosphors is investigated. The addition of charge compensators enhances the luminescence intensity of the prepared phosphors because they neutralize the charge generated by Tb 3+ substitutio…

Atomistic models of β-sheet crystals with varying number of alanines were mechanically tested in Molecular Dynamics simulations. The gain in mechanical robustness per residue is maximal for strands that are 8 residues long, because the external force is efficiently deflected into neighbouring strands over the distance…

We investigated a new fabrication process for high-quality, uniaxial-oriented grown Dion–Jacobson perovskite (DJP) RbLaNb2O7 thin films by means of excimer laser assisted metal organic deposition. Oriented crystal growth occurred only by excimer laser irradiation in air at 400 °C after a deposition of metal–organic so…

Abstract The catalytic properties of gold catalysts leached with sodium cyanide solutions were investigated for the propylene epoxidation reaction with H 2 /O 2 mixtures. Unexpectedly, the selectivity of the Au/TS‐1 catalysts changed from propylene oxide to propane as a result of the cyanide treatment. Measurements by…

Limit periodic point sets are aperiodic structures with pure point diffraction supported on a countably, but not finitely generated Fourier module that is based on a lattice and certain integer multiples of it. Examples are cut and project sets with p-adic internal spaces. We illustrate this by explicit results for th…
