To facilitate tissue integration with biomaterials proteins and peptides frequently are immobilized on the biomaterial surface. In particular, extracellular matrix proteins--which interact specifically with integrin adhesion receptors on the cell surface--can stimulate initial cell attachment by serving both as a liga…
Photochromism of indolinospironaphthooxazine (SNO) microcrystalline powder was investigated by steady state and time-resolved diffuse reflectance spectroscopy using a femtosecond laser as a light source. When laser intensity is weak, the photoinduced ring-opening reaction in a picosecond time region and subsequent the…
The degradation of phthalic acid esters in an aqueous solution by sonochemical action was performed at an ultrasonic frequency of 200 kHz. The sonochemical degradation of phthalic acid esters followed pseudo first-order kinetics. The OH radical reaction was found to be a predominant factor of the degradation of diethy…
The reaction of methylviologen iodide with crystalline V2O5 in the molar ratio of 1 to 3.8 at 100 degrees C in water led to the formation of (MV)0.25V2O5 in quantitative yield. The structure of this organic-inorganic multilayered hybrid compound was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Strong van der Wa…
Heat capacity of the halogen-bridged mixed-valence complex Pt 2 (dta) 4 I (dta = CH 3 CS 2 - ) has been measured in the temperature region between 6 and 386 K. The complex exhibited a phase transition of order−disorder type at T trs = 373.4 K, from being arranged in an ordered helical form of four dta ligand planes ar…
For a given group-subgroup transition, the complete set of order parameters, primary and secondary, describe the distortions that accompany this transition. The task of obtaining all order-parametric distortions for a group-subgroup pair is a long standing problem. An algorithm is presented here which obtains the irre…
Abstract A thermosetting resin system for resin‐transfer molding based on novolak and bismaleimide (BMI) was developed. The novolak resin was allylated and BMI was used as the curing agent, and allyl phenyl ether, as the diluent. The viscosity–temperature curve and the viscosity–time curve were used to characterize th…
We compare the swelling of surface-attached neutral poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PVP) and charged poly( N -methyl-4-vinylpyridinium iodide) (MePVP) brushes under good solvent conditions using multiple-angle null ellipsometry. The polymer layers were prepared by the “grafting from” technique, where a low molecular mass initi…
We report electron paramagnetic resonance measurements on single crystalline and powder samples of ${\mathrm{Nd}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.5}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}$ across the charge-ordering transition at ${T}_{\mathrm{co}}=240\mathrm{K}$ down to the antiferromagnetic ordering transition at ${T}_{N}=140\mathrm{K}.$ The chan…
We have developed a route for the synthesis of 2'-selenium uridine analogues and oligonucleotides containing selenium labels, and have demonstrated for the first time a new strategy to covalently derivatize nucleotides with selenium for phase and structure determination in X-ray crystallography.
A large scale synthesis of carbon nanofibers with a controlled diameter of about 50 nm has been achieved at relatively low temperatures (550–650 °C) by the decomposition of ethane on a carbon nanotube supported nickel catalyst. The carbon nanofibers can be used as a catalyst or a catalyst support without subsequent pu…
Recently, polymer–clay hybrid materials have received considerable attention from both a fundamental research and application point of view.1–3 This organic–inorganic hybrid, which contains a nanoscale dispersion of the layered silicates, is a material with greatly improved physical and mechanical characteristics. The…
Photocyclization and photocycloreversion quantum yields of three diarylethene derivatives were determined in the single-crystalline phase. The former yields in the crystalline phase were twice as large as those in solution. This can be attributed to only photoreactive antiparallel conformers being packed in the crysta…
Using state of the art time-dependent density functional theory and multireference second-order perturbation theory, we have accurately calculated (within 0.3 eV) in real space the optical gap of small silicon quantum dots, with diameters up to 25 A. Our results, which support the quantum confinement hypothesis, are i…
Mixed perovskites (AA‘)(BB‘)O 3, where A = La or Nd, A‘ = Sr, B = Al or Ga, and B‘ = Ta or Nb, were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The interpretation of XPS O(1s) signals in mixed oxides is discussed. The nonsingular O(1s) peak that occurs in the mixed oxides is due to the polarization of the…
We present a new and general mechanism for inter-conversion of carbon structures via a catalytic exchange process, which operates under conditions of Frenkel pair generation. The mechanism typically lowers reaction barriers by a factor of four compared to equivilent uncatalysed reactions. We examine the relevance of t…
We describe a method for creating atomic-scale electric contacts. A metal source is deposited on two insulating substrates separated by a 70 nm gap. Electric conductance across the gap is monitored, while protrusions from the bulk extend into the gap and reach corresponding protrusions on the other side of the gap. Wh…
The variational approach to weakly nonlocal thermodynamic theories is critically revisited in the light of modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The example of Ginzburg-Landau equation is investigated in detail.
The spontaneous polarization and the piezoelectric constants of ZnO and BeO are calculated at an ab initio quantum-mechanical level by using two alternative strategies, namely, through the Berry phase scheme applied to delocalized crystalline orbitals, and through the definition of well-localized Wannier functions. Th…
Abstract Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) blends were prepared by a solution‐precipitation procedure. The compatibility and thermal decomposition behavior of the PHB/PGMA blends was studied with differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential thermal anal…
