Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is ideally suited for probing and mapping surface species and incipient phases on fuel cell electrodes because of its high sensitivity and surface-selectivity, potentially offering insights into the mechanisms of chemical and energy transformation processes. In particular, bime…
Biodegradable polymers, such as poly(l-lactide) (PLLA), are very useful in many biomedical applications. However, their degradation by-products have been much of a concern as they are the sources of inflammatory reactions in the body. In this work, we suggest a novel composite system composed of PLLA and oligolactide-…
In this communication, we present the colloidal preparation of ternary CuGaS2 (CGS) nanocrystals that exhibit elongated morphologies and possess the metastable wurtzite crystal structure. A facile noninjection-based synthetic strategy was utilized wherein dithiocarbamate complexes of copper and gallium were thermally…
Three derivatives of doxorubicin (DOX) were prepared by modifying DOX with succinic anhydride, cis-aconitic anhydride and 2,3-dimethylmaleic anhydride, generating acid-insensitive succinyl-DOX (SAD), acid-sensitive cis-aconityl-DOX (CAD) and 2,3-dimethylmaleyl-DOX (DAD) respectively. The pH and reduction dual-responsi…
In this study, the use of PE and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) blend films for packaging was investigated by evaluating the performance of the plastic blend and its recyclability. It was found that mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation at break and Young's modulus) of PE/PHBV blend…
The clay-reinforced epoxy nanocomposite was prepared by the polymerization method. The effect of clay addition on the mechanical properties of epoxy/clay nanocomposites was studied through tensile, flexural, impact strength, and fracture toughness tests. The morphology and tribology behavior of epoxy/clay nanocomposit…
Morphology-controllable ZnO rings with high crystallinity were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal approach, using ionic liquid (through surface energy conditioning) as a stabilizing agent or template. The growth mechanism of these ring-like ZnO crystals was explored based on first-principles calculations and a serie…
Copper nanoparticles were prepared by Polyol Method and the prepared metal nanoparticles were characterized by various techniques like AFM, SEM, FTIR Spectrum and XRD. The prepared metal nanoparticles are used to improve the electrical conductivity of dielectric polymers like PMMA. Polymer Metal Nanocomposite was prep…
A simple kinetic lattice model of free volume and mobility transport in fluids is applied to study the enhancement of mobility at a free surface in thin fluid films, as well as proximity effects in fluid bilayers consisting of materials with different local mobility. Consistent with experimental observations on fluid…
A hard–soft dual templates method has been developed for the first time to prepare porous carbons by the direct carbonization of phenol formaldehyde resins (PFs), Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and polyvinyl butyral (PVB) at 1000 °C under Ar gas, in which PFs serve as the carbon source. More importantly, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O and PVB acting a…
The power of branched alkyl substituents to alter material properties is known to soft matter chemistry, with examples found in both surfactants and ionic liquids. Here, we highlight their potency in organic molecular/polymeric materials with optoelectronic applications. Attaching branched alkyl chains to the active π…
Directed assembly of block polymers is rapidly becoming a viable strategy for lithographic patterning of nanoscopic features. One of the key attributes of directed assembly is that an underlying chemical or topographic substrate pattern used to direct assembly need not exhibit a direct correspondence with the sought a…
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are being developed for use in optoelectronics. However before widespread usage, it is crucial to determine their potential effects on human health. It is accepted that Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) exert toxic effects by releasing Ag(+) ions, but much less is known about whether Ag(+) reacts with…
Our recently developed Eu(3+) coordination compound, Eu(pfppd)3(tpy) [where Hpfppd = 4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoro-3-hydroxy-1-(phenanthren-3-yl)pentanedione and tpy = 2,2':6,6''-terpyridine] exhibits significant quantum yield (Φoverall = 41%) and long (5)D0 lifetime (880 μs) values under biologically relevant pH conditions (…
This paper presents the fabrication of yolk-shell V₂O₅ powders with a low melting temperature of 690 °C by using a simplified two-step process. The spherical V₂O₃-C composite obtained by spray pyrolysis transforms into yolk-shell V₂O₅ powder by a simple combustion process at 400 °C. The yolk-shell V₂O₅ powders are com…
This review addresses the relationship between the structure of elastomers and gels, i.e., polymer networks far above the glass transition, and their macroscopic properties. The network structure is characterized by the density of crosslinks, the chain length distribution, topological defects, and entanglement effects…
Surfactant-templated mesoporous silica thin films can be deposited onto solid electrode surfaces by electrochemically assisted self-assembly (EASA). The method involves a cathodically triggered self-assembly of cationic surfactants (cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, CTAB) and local pH increase leading to the polyconden…
Polypyrrole nanowires are successfully fabricated with a one-step process by cathodic electropolymerization from an aqueous solution without templates and chemical additives. The method utilizes electrochemically generated NO+ to oxidize the neutral pyrrole monomers, making it possible to use oxidizable metal substrat…
A new family of paramagnetic microporous polymeric organic frameworks (POFs) has been developed through the co-polymerization of terephthalaldehyde and pyrrole, indole, and carbazole, respectively. These POFs are functionalized with stable unpaired electrons and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and pulsed…
Magnesium alloys as biodegradable metal implants in orthopaedic research received a lot of interest in recent years. They have attractive biological properties including being essential to human metabolism, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, magnesium can corrode too rapidly in the high-chloride environm…
