Forces across polymer melts are poorly understood despite their importance for adhesion and fabricating composite materials. Using an atomic force microscope (AFM), this interaction was measured for poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS). The structure of the polymer at the surface changed during the first approximately 10 h.…
The variations with temperature of the viscosity, η, and the relaxation times for various low molecular weight, unentangled polystyrenes (PS) are analyzed. We find that the temperature dependence of η does not directly reflect the behavior of the global chain modes. Depending on molecular weight and temperature, η can…
Hybrid composites of PbS nanoparticles embedded in sulfonated polystyrene matrixes were prepared without other added capping agent in the random ionomer. The nanocomposites were found to exhibit photoluminescence in both the near-infrared and visible regions. The infrared luminescence was tunable in the range 1100−150…
Zeolites collapse under modest pressure or temperature, their microporous structures transforming into glasses of conventional density. Using in situ synchrotron radiation diffraction methods we show how pressure and temperature-induced amorphization are equivalent processes and that these are mirrored by changes in t…
CuO and Cu 2 O powders were reacted by hydrogen to study the reduction mechanism and the ionic states of Cu (Cu 2+ , Cu 1+ and Cu 0 ). The reduction behaviour and the existence of an intermediate state were investigated by using synchrotron-based high-resolution in situ x-ray diffraction (S-XRD) techniques. The result…
Abstract Efficient base-catalysts for low temperature solid-phase imidization of poly(amic acid) (PAA) have been found. Thermal imidization of PAA proceeded smoothly in the presence of 1 wt % of strong bases such as 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) at 200 °C in a short…
We describe the synthesis of new high affinity and selective A(3)-adenosine receptor (A(3)-AdoR) agonists. Introduction of a methyl group at the N(6)-position of the A(2A)-AdoR selective 2-pyrazolyl-adenosine analogues (Figure 2) brought about a substantial increase in the A(3)-AdoR binding affinity and selectivity. W…
The transformation between martensite and austenite in shape memory alloy is characterized by four transformation temperatures: martensite start temperature ( M s ), martensite finish temperature ( M f ), austenite start temperature ( A s ) and austenite finish temperature ( A f ). In actuator designs that rely on the…
A new lithographic technique has been developed and applied to cell adhesion studies and electro-optical material development. Attachment of 6 nm Au particles, in periodic and non-periodic pattern, onto non-conductive substrates has been achieved. This was performed via a combination of diblock copolymer self-assembly…
The fracture toughness of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)−polyamide 6 (PA6) assemblies, stabilized by diblock copolymers formed in situ during the annealing of the samples, has been investigated as a function of annealing conditions and molecular architecture of the PP part of the copolymer. Comparing the evolutions of…
We report on photoinduced fluorescence enhancement (PFE) in a thin film of CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) sandwiched between a glass substrate and a silicon oxide layer and the dependence on the degree of proximity between the QDs. CdSe/ZnS QDs capped with tri- n -octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) were colloid-chemi…
Rigorous evidence of metallicity of a molecular crystal consisting of single-component neutral molecules is disclosed by observing the Fermi surface through magnetic quantum oscillations. Torque magnetometry measurements of de Haas-van Alphen oscillatory signals in a single crystal of [Ni(tmdt)2] molecules (tmdt = tri…
Mixtures of 5-phenylvalerate, octanoate, and 10-undecenoate were fed to a chemostat culture (dilution rate = 0.1 h -1 ) of Pseudomonas putida GPo1 under well-defined dual-(C,N)-nutrient limited growth conditions. Five new, tailor-made copolymers were produced and consisted of poly(3-hydroxy-5-phenylvalerate- co -3-hyd…
An electric field induced sphere-to-cylinder transition in thin films of asymmetric polystyrene- b -poly(methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymers was observed. In the absence of an applied electric field, thin films of the asymmetric diblock copolymer consisted of layers of spherical microdomains with poor in-plane lon…
Gold-capped, protein-modified polypyrrole (Ppy) nanowires were grown electrochemically using porous aluminum oxide as a template. The effects of the conditions of electrochemical synthesis on Ppy growth and protein (avidin or streptavidin) incorporation were studied. Streptavidin-modified nanowires grown at constant p…
The mechanisms of the Michael addition polymerizations of different trifunctional amines with an equimolar 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDA) were investigated by using 1 H and 13 C NMR to in situ monitor the polymerization processes. The trifunctional amine monomers adopted were 1-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine (AEPZ) and 4-(…
Abstract CdSe nanoparticles were synthesized in the cavity of the cage-shaped protein, apoferritin, by designing the slow chemical reaction system of Cd2+ and Se2−. The cavity size of apoferritin molecules is around 7 nm and the diameter of synthesized CdSe nanoparticles is about 6 nm with small size dispersion. CdSe…
We predict two new physical effects in arrays of single-domain nanomagnets by performing simulations using a realistic model Hamiltonian and physical parameters. First, we find hysteretic multicycles for such nanomagnets. The simulation uses continuous spin dynamics through the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation.…
The expression of temperature distribution along a film thickness is derived and distribution of temperature in the film as the substrate is heated is shown. The variation of film resistance with different substrate temperature is calculated and the existence of temperature gradient along the film thickness with finit…
In this communication, we report the synthesis of the three generations of Fréchet-type poly(aryl ether) dendrimers with a diselenide core that demonstrate generation-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity with initial reduction rates as high as 2431.20 muM min-1 for the third-generation product, around 1400…
