Abstract Porous membranes were fabricated using chitosan and poly( DL ‐lactide) or poly( L ‐lactide) blends through a combinatorial technique. Well‐controlled porous structures could be achieved by optimizing processing conditions. The ductility and toughness of dry porous membranes were improved by incorporating an i…
Self-immolative dendrimers are a unique class of molecules that are able to disassemble upon undergoing a specific triggering reaction through domino-like fragmentations. We have designed and synthesized a novel AB(6) self-immolative dendritic adaptor that amplifies a single cleavage event into the release of six repo…
Abstract High thermal conductivity polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP) composites filled with aluminum nitride (AlN) were fabricated, and their thermal and thermomechanical properties were studied. The purpose of this microstructure is to improve the thermal properties of the SMPs at low filler content. Morphology…
The mechanical properties of vertical single-crystal ZnO nanowires on ZnO:Ga/glass templates were characterized by nanoindentation experiments in this work. The results from x-ray diffraction and Raman spectra show good crystal quality for the ZnO nanowires. The buckling loads were found to be 1465 and 215 μN for ZnO…
Glancing angle deposition was used to produce approximately 150-nm-thick silver nanoparticle films, which were evaluated as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensors. The films have a strong extinction peak around 368 nm in air due to LSPR. As the refractive index of the surrounding environment is increase…
Abstract The morphology, crystalline behavior, and mechanical and thermal properties of poly( L ‐lactide)/hollow glass beads (PLLA/HGBs) composites were investigated. The incorporation of HGBs enhanced the crystallization rate and crystallinity of PLLA, but slightly decreased its elongation at break. In addition, HGBs…
N-doped, p-type ZnO (ZnO : N) thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering using NO as the N-doping source. The introduction of Ar in the growth ambient could evidently improve the p-type conductivity and crystal quality of the ZnO : N films, with the lowest room-temperature resistivity of 3.51 Ω cm obtained at an…
Water-soluble CdS nanocrystals (NCs) capped with mercaptoacetic acid (MA) were synthesized in aqueous solution. Hydrogen peroxide directly oxidized the MA-capped CdS NCs and produced strong chemiluminescence (CL) emission in basic conditions. It was found that the CL of CdS NCs was size-dependent, and the CL intensity…
Highly pure single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with their contents >96% of the total products were achieved by chemical vapour deposition gas flow reactions using ethanol as the carbon source. The high purity SWNTs were formed under critically controlled synthesis conditions and by applying a high hydrogen flow, u…
The main aim of this work is to prepare MgO nanoparticles and nanowires by a novel polyol-mediated thermolysis (PMT) process. The influence of different mole concentration of magnesium acetate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP; capping agent) and ethylene glycol (EG; solvent as well as reducing agent) on the formation of na…
Abstract The influence of coupling agents on the melt rheological properties of natural fiber composites has been investigated in this work using capillary and rotational rheometers. Scanning electron microscopy was also employed to supplement the rheological data. It was found that molecular weight and molecular weig…
In this paper, an electro-active shape memory fibre was fabricated successively by incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). The shape memory polyurethane (SMP–MWNT) composite was prepared by in situ polymerization and the SMP–MWNT fibre was prepared by melt spinning. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and t…
The Liquid Tin Anode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (LTA-SOFC) is a modified version of SOFC that allows the direct oxidation of carbonaceous fuels. The LTA-SOFC uses many conventional SOFC components but differs from conventional SOFC because its anode is liquid tin allowing directly oxidization of fuel without fuel reforming…
Gold nanorods synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetraoctylammonium bromide as stabilizers are functionalized with a thiol derivative of ruthenium(II) trisbipyridyl complex [(Ru(bpy)3(2+)-C5-SH] in dodecanethiol using a place-exchange reaction. The changes in the plasmon absorption bands and transmis…
The current Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains about 40 000 protein structures with approximately half a million incorrect atom positions resulting from erroneously assigned asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) rotamers. These errors affect applications in protein structure analysis, modeling and docking and therefore t…
X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy was used in conjunction with resonance-enhanced grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering to probe slow particle dynamics and kinetics in gold/polystyrene nanocomposite thin films. Such enhanced coherent scattering enables, for the first time, measurement of the particle dyna…
Abstract A new diamine containing a pyridine heterocyclic group and a naphthalene substituent, 4‐(2‐naphthyl)‐2,6‐bis(4‐aminophenyl) pyridine (NBAPP), was synthesized with the Chichibabin reaction and used in the preparation of poly(pyridine imide) by direct polycondensation with 4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidenediphathal…
This paper reports on the intense broadband photoluminescence (PL) emission from the ZnO/porous silicon nanocomposite films. The porous silicon (PS) samples were formed by electrochemical anodization on p-type (1 0 0) silicon wafer and ZnO thin films are deposited by the sol–gel spin coating technique in the pores of…
For polymer nanocomposites, the small size of the fillers makes it difficult to analyze the degree of mixing quantitatively and often requires direct assessment via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To date, qualitative comparisons and indirect measurements of the degree of mixing by measurement of certain prope…
Thermally stable nanoporous organosilicate thin films were realized by the microphase separation of pore-generating polymers mixed with an organosilicate matrix to be antireflective coatings (ARCs), for which a thin film with a refractive index (n) of 1.23 for zero reflection is required. The refractive index of such…
