Understanding the dynamics of the glass transition ofpolymers and molecular liquids has been a goal of physicists for more than a half-century. The nature of this transition is directly linked to the heterogeneity of the dynamics, reflected in spatial and temporal correlations of molecular motions, as well as a distri…
This research identified and characterized factors that influenced nanomaterial bioavailability to three aquatic plants: Azolla caroliniana Willd, Egeria densa Planch., and Myriophyllum simulans Orch. Plants were exposed to 4-, 18-, and 30-nm gold nanoparticles. Uptake was influenced by nanoparticle size, the presence…
Pipe connectors can significantly influence galvanic corrosion between lead and copper pipes by distancing the lead from copper pipe, introducing a third metal, and forming crevices. In this study, the effects of distance, connector material, and crevices on galvanic corrosion were examined, and bench‐scale comparison…
Nowadays, the use of calixarenes and nanotubes are widely spread in the field of drug delivery. In this work, interaction between p-sulphonatocalix[4]arene and nanotube(6,6)with Fluorouracil drug is investigated. Density function theory (DFT) calculations have been performed using the Gauss view and Gaussian03 by B3LY…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the differential exchange rates with bulk water between amine and amide protons can be exploited using chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance (CEST-MR) to monitor the release of glutamate induced by carboxypeptidase G2 (CPG2), an enzyme utilized in…
Reasonably high oxygen permeation fluxes, ∼4 × 10 −2 μmol.cm −2 .s −1 , were obtained from surface decoration with La 0.8 Sr 0.2 CoO 3-δ (LSC 113 ) or LaSrCoO 4±δ (LSC 214 ) on La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Ga 0.8 Mg 0.115 Co 0.085 O 3-δ (LSGMC) and Ce 0.8 Sm 0.2 O 2-δ (SDC) membranes at 700°C. Promoting surface exchange kinetics at…
By using the first-principles method based on the density-functional theory, electronic properties of graphene nanoribbons punched with periodic nanoholes (GNRPNHs) are studied systematically. It has been shown that the zigzag-edge GNRPNH at the nonmagnetic state is always metal regardless of neck widths, but its meta…
Fractional crystallization, homogeneous nucleation of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segment, and self-nucleation behavior of PEG segment within miscible double crystalline poly(butylene succinate)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PBSEG) multiblock copolymers with different composition and segment chain length were studied by diff…
Carbon nanotube (CNT) field emitters that exhibit extremely high stability against high-voltage arcing have been demonstrated. The CNT emitters were fabricated on a sharp copper tip substrate that produces a high electric field. A metal mixture composed of silver, copper, and indium micro- and nanoparticles was used a…
Electric field induced dynamic reorientation phenomenon of graphene/graphitic flakes in homogeneously aligned nematic liquid crystal (NLC) medium has been demonstrated by optical microscopy. The flakes reorient from parallel to perpendicular configuration with respect to boundary plates of confining cells for an appli…
The surface structure of Pt(557) during the catalytic oxidation of hydrogen was studied with in situ scanning tunneling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. At 298 K, the surface Pt oxide formed after exposing Pt(557) to approximately 1 Torr of O2 can be readily removed by H2, at H2 partial pressures below…
The strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition represents an optimal metal-free method for the modular coupling of amphiphilic polymer blocks. Hydrophilic poly(oxazoline) (PMOXA) or poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) A-blocks were coupled with a hydrophobic poly(siloxane) B-block to provide triblock copolymers capable of sel…
We exploit the concept of competing interactions to design a binary mixture of patchy particles that forms a reversible gel upon heating. Our molecular dynamics computer simulation of such a system shows that with increasing temperature the relaxation dynamics slows down by more than four orders of magnitude and then…
The structural analysis of LaCo1−xNixO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) samples assures single phase rhombohedral structure with space-group R3¯c. Electronic structure of these samples has been studied by x-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) at K-edge of O, Ni, Co and M5,4 edge of La. These studies confirm the trivalent stat…
In the context of the random first order transition theory we use an extended mode coupling theory of the glass transition that includes activated events to account for spatiotemporal structures in rejuvenating glasses. We numerically solve fluctuating dynamical equations for mobility and fictive temperature fields wh…
Phototriggered base proliferation as a highly efficient domino reaction is presented for creating functionally photo-screened materials, providing a strategy for the photopolymerization of shadow areas via chemically diffuse amines toward the nonirradiated areas during polymerization. By integrating proliferated amine…
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) that can release nitric oxide (NO) on visible-light irradiation were prepared using 2-mercapto-5-nitro benzimidazole (MNBI) as stabilizer. These nanoparticles meet overall prerequisites for biomedical applications like small sizes, water solubility, and stability. It was found that even a ver…
Bioactive phosphate-based glasses (PBGs) have several possible biomedical applications because of the chemical reactions they undergo with their surroundings when implanted into the body. The dissolution rate of PBGs in physiological conditions is a crucial parameter for these applications, to ensure, e.g., delivery o…
Protein crystals are fragile, and it is sometimes difficult to find conditions suitable for handling and cryocooling the crystals before conducting X-ray diffraction experiments. To overcome this issue, a protein crystal-mounting method has been developed that involves a water-soluble polymer and controlled humid air…
Specific turn-on detection of enzyme activities is of fundamental importance in drug discovery research, as well as medical diagnostics. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most powerful techniques for noninvasive visualization of enzyme activity, both in vivo and ex vivo, promising strategies for…
