The surface of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) storage granules in bacteria is covered mainly by proteins referred to as phasins. The layer of phasins stabilizes the granules and prevents coalescence of separated granules in the cytoplasm and nonspecific binding of other proteins to the hydrophobic surfaces of the granules.…
The temperature dependence of the deviations from bulk behavior in ultrathin polymer films is demonstrated. The validity of a model aiming to rationalize the influence of interfacial interactions on the structural relaxation of polymers has been experimentally verified. The polymer layers at the very interface with th…
Because of conflicting reports and unrealistic literature values, a systematic study of the surface energy of chitin, chitosan, and their respective monomeric counterparts was carried out using contact angle measurements on films and pellets, before and after different purification procedures. All the commercial sampl…
A detailed study of the dynamical and structural aspects of the cold crystallization behavior of highly flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) is presented. In order to understand the complete behavior, before, under and after crystallization, a wide range of experimental techniques have been employed. A particular emp…
Randomly deposited or partially aligned electrospun nylon-6 nanofibers were prepared by using a rotating collector with linear velocity from 0 to 900 m/min, and their molecular orientation was characterized with polarized Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. At a linear velocity of 0 m/min, electrospun nyl…
ZnO nanotree arrays were successfully grown in large scale using a one-step facile method. Their branches and trunks display a special orientation relationship and the new interface structure is revealed. They exhibit significantly enhanced photocatalysis when compared to P25 and nonbranched micro/nanorods.
We report a new way of producing microcapsules consisting of a shell of aggregated colloids (also referred to as colloidosomes) using aqueous phase-separated polymer solutions (water-in-water emulsions) as a template. The extremely low interfacial tension of the template allows the production of reversible colloidosom…
A luminescent d−f hybrid containing a [Re(bpy)(Ar)(CO) 3 ] + chromophore and a gadolinium ion bound in a DO3A-derived binding pocket has been prepared. This complex combines long-lived luminescence from the 3 MLCT state of the transition metal chromophore with high relaxivity, making it suitable for MRI imaging and lu…
We review the role that first-principles calculations have played in understanding the effects of substrate-imposed misfit strain on epitaxially grown perovskite ferroelectric films. We do so by analyzing the case of BaTiO$_3$, complementing our previous publications on this subject with unpublished data to help expla…
In traditional DNA melting assays, the temperature of the DNA-containing solution is slowly ramped up. In contrast, we use 300 ns laser pulses to rapidly heat DNA bound gold nanoparticle aggregates. We show that double-stranded DNA melts on a microsecond time scale that leads to a disintegration of the gold nanopartic…
We report a highly flexible light-emitting device in which inorganic nanowires are the optically active components. The single-crystalline ZnO nanowires are grown at 80 degrees C on flexible polymer-based indium-tin-oxide-coated substrates and subsequently encapsulated in a minimal-thickness, void-filling polystyrene…
The self-ordering of nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) in the course of the hard anodization (HA) of aluminum in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solutions at anodization voltages ranging from 27 to 80 V was investigated. Direct H2SO4-HA yielded AAOs with hexagonal pore arrays having interpore distances D(int) ranging from…
The objective of the present work is to investigate, from the open literature, the recent developments in the rheology of silica and organoclay nanocomposites. In particular, this paper focuses on general trends of the linear viscoelastic behaviour of such nanocomposites. Hence, the variations of the equilibrium shear…
Tb 0.1 Ho 0.9 − x Pr x Fe 2 and Tb0.1Ho0.9−xPrx(Fe0.9B0.1)2 (0⩽x⩽0.4) alloys were prepared by arc melting and subsequent annealing. It was found that the addition of boron is helpful for the formation of MgCu2-type Laves phase. The spin reorientation temperature of Tb0.1Ho0.9−xPrx(Fe0.9B0.1)2 compounds decreases and t…
Organo‐mineral aggregates in various fractions including clay, silt, fine sand, and coarse sand were isolated from a Chernozem in northeast China by ultrasonic dispersion in water followed by sedimentation. The physicochemical properties of different fractions were determined and the organo‐mineral aggregates were cha…
We present the results of studies on the temperature dependence of the electrogyration (EG) effect, Faraday rotation and natural optical activity in Pb 5 Ge 3 O 11 and Pb 5 Ge 3 O 11 :Cr crystals at the phase transition. A high EG coefficient is found for Pb 5 Ge 3 O 11 :Cr crystals. We demonstrate how the Curie–Weiss…
We report on protein immobilization in a microcapsule and its adsorption performance with respect to precious-metal ions. Proteins including lysozyme, bovine serum albumin, chicken egg albumin, and soybean protein were immobilized by a microencapsulation method, and their adsorption properties with respect to ions of…
Phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase (PAD) and lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALD) share some structural and kinetic properties. One difference is that PAD can use NAD+ and NADP+, whereas ALD only uses NAD+. An acidic residue has been involved in the exclusion of NADP+ from the active site in pyridine nucleotide-dependent de…

Abstract New polyazomethines have been synthesized by the reaction between 2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐benzoquinone and siloxane diamines differing by the siloxane sequence length. A dimer has also been prepared as a model compound. The products were characterized by spectral (FTIR and 1 H‐NMR) and elemental analyses, GPC, visc…
