In mesoscopic motion, every little bit counts. The authors show that for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with nanoscale separations, surface roughness plays a crucial role in the nonlinear actuation dynamics. A combined analytical and numerical analysis reveals that Casimir-Lifshitz forces can cause chaotic moti…
We address the question of charge delocalization in amorphous and crystalline fullerene solids by performing state of the art calculations encompassing force-field molecular dynamics, microelectrostatic and quantum-chemical methods.
Membrane proteins reconstituted into phospholipid nanodiscs comprise a soluble entity accessible to solution small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies. It is demonstrated that using SAXS data it is possible to determine both the shape and localization of the membrane protein cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) while it is…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted great interest in the field of regenerative medicine, particularly in bone regeneration. Osteogenic differentiation from MSCs is regulated by various environmental factors including hormones, growth factors, chemicals and physical cues from biomaterials. We present the use…
Pgp is functional on the plasma membrane and lysosomal membrane. Lysosomal-Pgp can pump substrates into the organelle, thereby trapping certain chemotherapeutics (e.g. doxorubicin; DOX). This mechanism serves as a "safe house" to protect cells against cytotoxic drugs. Interestingly, in contrast to DOX, lysosomal seque…
Tin oxide (SnO2) is a kind of anode material with high theoretical capacity. However, the volume expansion and fast capability fading during cycling have prevented its practical application in lithium ion batteries. Herein, we report that the nanocomposite of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) and reduced graphene oxide (…
Conditions for simple and sensitive FTIR quantitative determination of acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, and itaconic acid in their copolymer films used as precursor products in carbon-fiber manufacturing are proposed.
We report the fabrication and detailed characterization of an ultrafast responsive, excellently stable and reproducible humidity sensor based on a supramolecularly modified graphene composite. The fabricated humidity sensors exhibited a response and recovery time of less than 1 s, which is the lowest among the values…
The application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in tissue engineering (TE) approaches opens several new research possibilities in this field, enabling a new generation of multifunctional constructs for tissue regeneration. This study describes the development of sophisticated magnetic polymer scaffolds with aligned s…
With the aim to enhance the Li + ion conductivity, an ionic conductor, LiVO 3, has been successfully coated on the surface of lithium-rich layered Li 1.2 Mn 0.54 Ni 0.13 Co 0.13 O 2 cathode materials for the first time. After combining with LiVO 3, significantly improved high-rate capability and cyclic stability of th…
We study the dynamics of a tracer particle (TP) on a comb lattice populated by randomly moving hard-core particles in the dense limit. We first consider the case where the TP is constrained to move on the backbone of the comb only. In the limit of high density of the particles, we present exact analytical results for…
Amorphous SnO2 (a-SnO2) thin films were conformally coated onto the surface of reduced graphene oxide (G) using atomic layer deposition (ALD). The electrochemical characteristics of the a-SnO2/G nanocomposites were then determined using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge curves. Because the SnO2 ALD…
Polymeric delivery vehicles can improve the safety and efficacy of chemotherapy drugs by facilitating preferential tumor delivery. Polymer-drug conjugates are especially attractive carriers because additional formulation steps are not required during manufacturing, and drug release profiles can be altered based on lin…
Melatonin loaded poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles and microparticles in the diameter of ∼200 nm and 3.5 μm, respectively, were prepared by emulsion-diffusion-evaporation method. Melatonin entrapment into the particles was significantly improved with the addition of 0.2% (w/v) melatonin into the aque…
DC stray current can cause severe corrosion on buried pipelines. In this study, firstly, we deduced the equation of DC stray current interference on pipelines. Next, the cathode boundary condition was discretized with pipe elements, and corresponding experiments were designed to validate the mathematical model. Finall…
Chiral molecules in nature are involved in many biological events; their selectivity and specificity make them of great interest for understanding the behavior of bioactive molecules, by providing information about the chiral discrimination. Inspired by these conformational properties, we present the design and synthe…
BACKGROUND: In the field of biomedical engineering, many studies have focused on the possible applications of graphene and related nanomaterials due to their potential for use as scaffolds, coating materials and delivery carriers. On the other hand, electrospun nanofiber matrices composed of diverse biocompatible poly…
Oil foams are composed of gas bubbles dispersed in an oil phase. These systems are scarcely studied despite their great potential in diverse fields such as the food and cosmetic industries. Contrary to aqueous foams, the production of oil foams is difficult to achieve due to the inefficiency of surfactant adsorption a…
Tetragonal CuMnAs is an antiferromagnetic material with favourable properties for applications in spintronics. Using a combination of neutron diffraction and x-ray magnetic linear dichroism, we determine the spin axis and magnetic structure in tetragonal CuMnAs, and reveal the presence of an interfacial uniaxial magne…
We scrutinize the effects of ancillary electron-donors on light absorption and charge recombination in phenanthrocarbazole dye-sensitized solar cells.
