A charge transfer (CT) mediated two-component, multistimuli responsive supergelation involving a L-histidine-appended pyrenyl derivative (PyHisOMe) as a donor and an asymmetric bolaamphiphilic naphthalene-diimide (Asym-NDI) derivative as an acceptor in a 2:1 mixture of H2O/MeOH was investigated. Asym-NDI alone self-as…

Highly dispersed FeOx was impregnated onto CeO 2 using the unique precursor Na/Fe-ethylenediaminetetraacetate (NaFeEDTA) at varying Fe surface density (0–1.5 Fe/nm 2 ). These catalysts were used for NO reduction by CO and were compared to a more traditional Fe(NO 3 ) 3 precursor impregnated on Na-promoted CeO 2 . Exte…

A new application of porous ceramics as the attenuative backing element in high-temperature transducers is introduced. By introducing pores of different volume fractions and various sizes into the ceramic matrix, acoustic impedance and attenuation can be controlled to match their optimal values as predicted by a simpl…

We demonstrate that hybrid systems of porphyrins and chirality enriched (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes (E-SWCNTs) are better candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT) than their components alone. Surprisingly, the E-SWCNTs act as optical absorption enhancers to the porphyrins increasing the oxygen singlet produc…

We present a detailed study on the classification of ZnS quantum dots (QDs) by size selective precipitation (SSP). SSP allows the postsynthetic narrowing of a given feed distribution and is usually realized by titration of a poor solvent into a suspension of dispersed particles. Thereby preferred flocculation of large…

We propose a planar dielectric reflector with focusing ability using concentric circular subwavelength gratings (CC-SWGs). The two-dimensional focusing ability of CC-SWGs is investigated by the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) and finite element method (FEM). By designing the concentric circular pattern of the gr…
