Structural and electronic properties of metal-doped silicon clusters ($M{\mathrm{Si}}_{10}$, $M=\mathrm{Li}$, Be, B, C, Na, Mg, Al, and Si) have been investigated via ab initio molecular dynamics simulation under the formalism of the density functional theory. The exchange-correlation energy has been calculated using…
Abstract Three optically active Molybdenum (VI) dioxo complexes with tetrahydro salen and substituted tetrahydro salen derivatives as ligands were synthesized and examined as catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation. Complexes of the type MoO 2 (L)(Solv) and WO 2 (L) (L = tridentate, trans-2- aminocyclohexanol derived chi…
This study focuses on the effect exerted by interchain disulfide bonds on the functional properties of films made from gliadins when cross-linked with cysteine. Gliadins were extracted from commercial wheat gluten with 70% aqueous ethanol, and cysteine was added to the film-forming solution to promote cross-linking be…
Abstract The structure of an illite-smectite (I-S) sample (HSI) from the Tertiary–Cretaceous boundary layer at Stevns, Denmark, i.e. the so-called Fish Clay, is investigated in order to discuss the origin of this clay and its similarity to clays from Maastrichtian-Danian chalk of Denmark and the North Sea. The phase c…
Control of the conductivity of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is crucial for the use of carbon nanotubes in molecular electronics. We report a new fundamental characteristic of semiconducting SWNTs: the persistent photoconductivity of chemically modified carbon nanotube films. Illumination of carboxylated semico…
The oxygen-containing functional groups, introduced by common purification procedures, on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) made by both the HiPco and laser-ablation (Rice Tubes) techniques are studied by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy from 90 to 1400 K under vacuum. The fate of the functional gro…
To explore the application of PCL for the engineering of soft tissues, the PCL surface was first embedded in an amphiphilic moiety and then grafted with RGD peptide to enhance the growth rate of human endothelial cells (HUVEC) on the surface. To graft cell-adhesive peptide RGD on the PCL surface, the PCL surface was f…
The detailed synthesis of highly hydrophobic average pore benzene-bridged hybrid mesoporous silicas under an acidic medium is described. With the use of a 1,4-bis(triethoxysilane)benzene silsesquioxane precursor and biodegradable alkyl polyoxyethylene (Brij-56 or Brij-76) nonionic surfactant oligomers as supramolecula…
We consider a metamaterial possessing nonlinear magnetic response owing to nonlinear electronic components inserted into resonant conductive elements. We imply that the insertions operate in an essentially nonlinear regime, so that a nonlinear magnetic susceptibility cannot be introduced and separate analysis is requi…
(Fe x Co 1 - x ) y (SiO 2 ) 1 - y nanocomposites were prepared by a sol−gel method, using tetraethoxysilane and metal acetates as precursors. Two sets of xerogel samples were prepared: in the first set x was kept equal to 0.5 and four y values were selected in the range 0.02−0.2; in the second set y was kept equal to…
The synthesis of spherical BaTiO 3 particles was attempted by a new technique, the “gel–sol method,” at 45°C. The (Ba–Ti) gel used as a starting material was prepared by aging mixtures of titanyl acylate with a barium acetate aqueous solution ([glacial acetic acid (AcOH)]/[titanium isopropoxide (TIP)] = 4, [barium ace…
Abstract Polyethylene–clay nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ polymerization with 2,6‐bis[1‐(2,6‐diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl] pyridine iron(II) dichloride supported on a modified montmorillonite clay pretreated with methylaluminoxane (MAO). The catalysts and the obtained nanocomposites were examined with wide…
Solid-state thermolysis of a hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene–cobalt complex (see diagram) yielded multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in near-quantitative carbon-conversion yield. Ordered “bamboo-like” and straight CNTs were obtained under controlled heating procedures. Such a novel solid-state synthesis of CNTs has promi…
Biomaterals are often in contact with the body or body fluids, so interfacial phenomena, especially protein adsorption, control essential parameters, such as biocompatability and bioreactivity. In addition, optimization of biotechnology tools such as DNA/protein microarrays and microfluidic systems will also require a…
The physical mechanisms involved in electron irradiation of insulating specimens are investigated by combining some simple considerations of solid-state physics (trapping mechanisms of electrons and secondary electron emission) with basic equations of electrostatics. To facilitate the understanding of the involved mec…
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), poly(3HB-co-3HV), copolyesters with a variety of 3HV contents (ranging from 17 to 60 mol%) were produced by Alcaligenes sp. MT-16 grown on a medium containing glucose and levulinic acid in various ratios, and the effects of hydrophilicity and crystallinity on the degradabi…
Abstract Numerous applications, from molecular electronics to super‐strong composites, have been suggested for carbon nanotubes. Despite this promise, difficulty in assembling raw carbon nanotubes into functional structures is a deterrent for applications. In contrast, biological materials have evolved to self‐assembl…
Abstract This paper presents an overview of developments that have taken place in recent years in the genetic algorithm technique for structure solution from powder diffraction data. After a brief resumé, of the essential features of the genetic algorithm technique for structure solution, the paper highlights recent d…
Abstract Integration of biomaterials within the body is a longstanding problem in medicine. The lack of proper biomaterial integration within the body sacrifices artificial implant longevity and function. Materials such as hydrogels may be able to integrate with soft tissue; however, a challenge remains to improve tis…
A series of metal complexes of tetrakis-2,3-[5,6-di(2-pyridyl)pyrazino]porphyrazine, [Py(8)TPyzPzH(2)], having the general formula [Py(8)TPyzPzM].xH(2)O (M = Mg(II)(H(2)O), Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II); x = 3-8) were synthesized by reaction of the free-base macrocycle with the appropriate metal acetate in pyridine o…
