Aligned Cu nanowires were prepared by the reduction of aligned CuO nanowires in electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) hydrogen plasma at room temperature. They are single-crystalline and maintain the original alignment of the CuO nanowires. In contrast, the reduction of CuO nanowires by thermal processing in H(2) has fai…
A chiral, nonracemic ester with a bent-core molecular architecture (see figure) has been synthesized and evaluated for mesomorphic behavior and physical properties. The compound has a low melting point, a chiral smectic C phase with a wide temperature range, and it shows an unusually high tilt angle at a very low valu…
Correlation between the maximum allowable currents and the Young's moduli of the same individual carbon nanotubes was investigated in terms of current-voltage characteristics and the resonant frequencies of the cantilevered nanotubes. The maximum allowable current increases with increasing Young's modulus and saturate…
Ligand-oxidized annulated dinuclear phthalocyanine zinc(II) and lithium(I) complexes absorbing in the NIR region (lambda=1000-2200 nm) with high extinction coefficients are described. Analogous mononuclear Pc complexes were used for comparison. The oxidized Pcs were characterized in solution by electronic absorption,…
A facile strategy affording an intimate nanocomplex of an amine-containing rod-coil triblock copolymer poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate)-poly(fluorene)-poly(2-(dimethyl amino) ethylmethacrylate) and CdSe nanocrystals is presented. Ligand exchange is observed by (31)P NMR. TEM and UV-vis absorption results indic…
Abstract Polyamide dendrons and dendrimers have been synthesized using a continuous‐flow microreactor. Furthermore, the synthesized polyamide dendron was deposited onto functionalized glass surface through the formation of amide bond using a facile coupling procedure via a microreactor. The dendron deposition process…
We observed current density (J) dependent degradation in field emission current from multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). These degradations are recoverable and can be explained by emission current-induced dislocations along the MWCNTs. MWCNTs grown by thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) can emit stable current…
Abstract An investigation was conducted on the effects of photodegradation of multilayer films based on PET copolymers. The films were composed by different layers with PET, PET/PEN, and PET/PEI copolymers with a total thickness of 23 μm. The films produced by coextrusion followed by a biaxial orientation in an indust…
Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were employed to study the spontaneous supramolecular complexation of amine terminated PAMAM dendrimer (G3[EDA] PAMAM-NH2) induced by the binding of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). At pH<or=2, SDS molecules bound to protonat…
We show that parallel replica dynamics can be extended to driven systems (e.g., systems with time-dependent boundary conditions). Each processor simulates a replica at a driving rate that is $M$ times faster than the desired rate, where $M$ is the number of processors. As in regular parallel replica dynamics, when a t…
The syntheses and structures of three four-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinates are reported. The three derivatives are tetraarylporphyrin species, where the aryl is either phenyl, p-methylphenyl, or p-methoxyphenyl. One of these derivatives, that of tetraphenylporphyrin, Fe(TPP), is a new crystalline phase that is disti…
Five photochromic chiral azobenzene compounds and one nonphotochromic chiral compound were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Cholesteric liquid crystalline phases were induced by mixing of the nonphotochromic chiral compound and one of the photochromic chiral azobenzene…
We report high resolution 15N NMR probing of the solid-solid phase transition of 15N-labeled ammonia borane (NH3BH3) at 225 K. Both the 15N isotropic chemical shift (delta iso) and the spin-lattice relaxation rate (T1-1) exhibited strong anomalies around 225 K. The analysis of T1-1 using the Bloembergen, Purcell, and…
The structural evolution of Au(n) (n=2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 13) clusters and the adsorption of organic molecules such as acetone, acetaldehyde, and diethyl ketone on these clusters are studied using a density functional method. The detailed study of the adsorption of acetone on the Au(n) clusters reveals two main points.…
Abstract Styrene–acrylonitrile (SAN) with acrylonitrile (AN) concentrations of 11.6–26 wt % and α‐methylstyrene acrylonitrile (αMSAN) with a wide range of AN concentrations are miscible with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) through solution blending. Here we examine the rheological properties and miscibility of PVC/SAN and…
Aluminium anodization provides a simple and inexpensive way to obtain nanoporous templates with uniform and controllable pore diameters and periods over a wide range. Moreover, one of the interesting possibilities afforded by the anodization process is that the anodization can take place on arbitrary surfaces, such as…
A photo-immobilization based process is presented for direct imaging of hierarchical assemblies of biopolymers using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The technique was used to investigate the phase behavior of F-actin aggregates as a function of concentration of the divalent cation Mg2+. The data provided direct experim…
Methods for additive hydration are presented that enable longtime observation of very wet biological specimens in an environmental scanning electron microscope. The changes of structure due to dehydration for specimens placed on a Peltier-cooled holder, put on a special agar base or embedded in it or blown over by wat…
Here we report on a novel and effective technique for the deposition of carbon nanotubes onto surfaces in vacuum directly from a liquid suspension. The technique, based on in-vacuum electrospray ionization, has the potential to bridge the gap between high resolution techniques requiring ultra-high vacuum conditions, a…
We synthesized a series of compounds belonging to a new class of polycatenar-type organogelators, comprising a cyanochalcone unit and a half disklike phenyl group with two or three long alkoxy chains, and investigated their supramolecular assembly with respect to their molecular structures. They formed very stable org…
