The amino (N-telo) and carboxyl (C-telo) telopeptides of type I collagen play crucial roles, in vivo and in vitro, in the assembly of collagen fibrils, regulating the axial alignment of the molecules within a fibril, azimuthal orientations of neighboring molecules, and cross-link formation. High-resolution structures…

We have investigated polyelectrolyte multilayers of poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) in contact with D2O by neutron reflectometry. The study particularly focuses on the changes in the solvent fraction of the system upon addition of a layer. When the layers are deposited at a low salt co…

Palladium nanoparticles supported on lanthanum-stabilized alumina were prepared by flame spray pyrolysis. The as-prepared materials were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, CO chemisorption, nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction and temperature programmed reduction. These materials were…

SiC particles are coated with multi-walled carbon nanotubes using a simple chemical vapor deposition process. This new type of micro/nanoscale hybrid reinforcement combines the characteristics of carbon nanotubes and the micrometer-sized SiC particles. Using this hybrid reinforcement in an epoxy composite produced a s…

The doping induced insulator-metal transition in ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}\mathrm{Ti}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ is studied using the ab initio local density approximation (LDA) and DMFT method. Combining the LDA bandstructure for the actual, distorted structure found recently with multiorbital DMFT to…

Abstract Summary: Nanocomposite materials were obtained by blending multi‐wall carbon nanotubes (CN), obtained by acetylene catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CVD) on Co/Fe‐modified NaY zeolite, with syndiotactic poly(propylene) (sPP). The nanotubes, well dispersed in the polymer matrix, favour the crystallization…

Water quality is commonly reported with respect to the minerals that comprise the total dissolved solids, often together with COD, BOD, pH and other components. For ease of use by consumers, the quality parameters are mostly related to usage, i.e. water quality for domestic use, livestock or irrigation, etc. When diat…

Abstract Summary: The size and concentration of free‐volume holes of two kinds of montmorillonite (MMT)/styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites were investigated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Strong interfacial interaction caused an apparent reduction of the free‐volume fraction of rubbe…

An "X-shaped" two-dimensional electrooptic (EO) chromophore with extended orthogonal conjugation was designed and synthesized. Self-assembled thin films of this chromophore were fabricated via layer-by-layer chemisorptive siloxane-based self-assembly. The films exhibit a dramatically blue-shifted optical maximum (325…

A series of titania−silica xerogels was prepared using nonhydrolytic sol−gel routes. The parameters explored were the nature of the oxygen donors (alkoxides or diisopropyl ether), the amount of liquid phase in the gel, the titanium content, the reaction time, and the reaction temperature. The samples were characterize…
