Hydrogen-bonded multilayers comprised of polyacrylamide (PAAm) and a weak polyelectrolyte, such as poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(methacrylic acid) (PMA), were investigated for their surface-cell interactions. The assembled films were lightly cross-linked thermally or photochemically in order to render them stable i…

Polyaniline (PANI) latex particles have been synthesized using both inverse and direct miniemulsion polymerization techniques. It is shown that inverse miniemulsions of anilinium hydrochloride can be oxidized by simple H 2 O 2, thus resulting under optimized conditions in highly crystalline PANI particles dispersed in…

We consider the properties of a periodic structure consisting of small alternating 0- and pi- Josephson junctions. We show that depending on the relation between the lengths of the individual junctions, this system can be either in the homogeneous or in the phase-modulated state. The modulated phase appears via a seco…

I demonstrate that $^4$He adsorbates in carbon nanotube materials can be treated as one-dimensional interacting gas of spinless bosons for temperatures below 8 K and for coverages such that all the adsorbates are in the groove positions of the carbon nanotube bundles. The effects of adsorbate-adsorbate interactions ar…

We construct an exact dynamical mean field theory for nonresonant inelastic light scattering in the infinite-dimensional Falicov-Kimball model, which can be tuned through a quantum critical metal-insulator transition. Due to the projection of the polarization orientations onto different regions of the Brillouin zone a…

We have fabricated all II-VI semiconductor resonant tunneling diodes based on the (Zn,Mn,Be)Se material system, containing dilute magnetic material in the quantum well, and studied their current-voltage characteristics. When subjected to an external magnetic field the resulting spin splitting of the levels in the quan…

The systematic design of materials that alter their macroscopic properties in response to environmental stimuli continues to provide a basis for stimuli-responsive applications in biomaterials and microelectronics. We report discrete volume phase transitions in ultrathin polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) driven by ch…

Mechanical and shape memory properties of a polycrystalline Ni2.18Mn0.82Ga alloy prepared by a PDS (Pulse Discharge Sintering) method were investigated. It was found that the material demonstrates the two-way shape memory effect after a loading - unloading cycle performed in the martensitic state, i. e. essentially wi…

The kinetics of dislocations is studied with computer simulation at loadings of different intensity. It is established that the dislocations have a few different structural states. The dislocations "with the micropore" play important role in the formation of large curved boundaries, and, as a consequence, in the forma…

The relaxation behavior of organically modified layered silicate−epoxy nanocomposites was studied using a combination of standard and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry. For such nanocomposites, the silicate layers were intercalated in the matrix resin and epoxy networks were grafted onto the sili…

Organic nanoparticles of 1,3-diphenyl-5-(2-anthryl)-2- pyrazoline (DAP) ranging in average diameters from 40 to 160 nm were prepared through the reprecipitation method. The average diameters of the particles were controlled by variation of the aging time. We found that DAP nanoparticles exhibit the size-dependent opti…

Many desirable organic reactions are accompanied by side reactions and undesired by-products, which waste raw materials and complicate product work-up and isolation. By enhancing the competition between reactions to obtain more selective syntheses, ecological and economic benefits may be expected. The most effective w…

We introduce a simulation technique for creating dense random packings of hard particles. The technique is particularly suited to handle particles of different shapes. Dense amorphous packings of spheres have been formed, which are consistent with the existing work on random sphere packings. Packings of spherocylinder…
