This work addresses the possibility of using Magnetization Transfer Contrast (MTC) for an improved MRI detection of T1 relaxation agents. The need to improve the detection threshold of MRI agents is particularly stringent when the contrast agents failed to accumulate to the proper extent in targeting procedures. The h…
CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 ( CCTO ) powders have been synthesized by the molten salt method using NaCl as the flux. The effects of the synthesis temperature on their crystal structures and micromorphologies were investigated in this study. A new secondary phase, Na 2 Ti 6 O 13 , was found in the as‐synthesized powders when the…
Al 2 O 3 /Ti composites of various metal to ceramic ratios were fabricated by the spark plasma sintering ( SPS ) technique. The effects of titanium concentration in the initial mixture on phase composition, and on the static and dynamic (planar impact testing) mechanical properties of the SPS ‐processed composites wer…
Electrospun polyamide PA 66 nanofiber bundles were mechanically strengthened via compositing with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The highest tensile strength (126.4 MPa) was achieved for the bundles immersed in the solution with 5.0 wt% PVA, indicating sufficient PVA filling between nanofibers after drying the impregnated n…
The abnormal aggregation of amyloid proteins is reported to play a critical role in the etiology of neurodegenerative disorders. Studies have shown that excessive ferric irons are associated with the misfolding of amyloid proteins, and that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a good metallic ion chelator with inhib…
A Mg-rich Mg–Al spinel modified with CuO and CeO 2 via a cogelling method was used to remove SO 2 from fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) flue gas. It was found that the generation of a MgO–CuO solid solution was prevented in the presence of CeO 2 . So CuO had a better dispersion on the adsorbent surface and showed a bett…
Pure Poly(vinylacohol) (PVA) and PVA-coum films with different concentrations were prepared by a casting technique. Optical absorption and mechanical properties were measured. The UV–Vis absorption spectra gave the same band positions but the absorption intensity increases with increasing coumarin concentration. The d…
The present research investigates the morphology and rheological behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate)/polypropylene (PBT/PP) blends containing hydrophilic and hydrophobic organoclays. The distribution of nanoclays and morphology of nanocomposites were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission and sca…
We study the problem of constructing an optical surface separating two homogeneous, isotropic media, one of which has a negative refractive index. In doing so, we develop a vector form of Snell's law, which is used to study surfaces possessing a certain uniform refraction property, in both the near- and far-field case…
Cationic nickel(ii) complexes of two ring-contracted porphyrinoid ligands distantly related to the corrins were prepared by metal templated macrocyclisation. The compounds show reversible electron transfer processes and were found to be the first porphyrinoid-based catalysts for C-C cross-coupling.
Abstract Cu3(SeO4)2(SeO3OH)2(H2O)16 (1) is a novel copper selenate hydrate and the first inorganic compound to contain linear octahedral–tetrahedral heptamers. The heptamers are formed by successive polymerization of two SeO3OH tetrahedra, two SeO4 tetrahedra, and three Cu(H2O)4O2 octahedra. The linkages between the o…
Abstract For colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), replacement of insulating organic capping ligands with chemically diverse inorganic clusters enables the development of functional solids in which adjacent NCs are strongly coupled. Yet controlled assembly methods are lacking to direct the arrangement of charged…
This study addresses the on-going topic of point defects and point defect clusters in uranium dioxide. Molecular statics simulation using an extended pair potential model that accounts for disproportionation equilibrium as charge compensation has been applied to assess the effect of disproportionation on structural pr…
Hybrid nanostructures are attractive for future use in a variety of optoelectronic devices. Self-assembled hybrid organic/quantum dots can couple quantum properties to semiconductor devices and modify their functionality. These devices are simple to fabricate and control; however, they usually demonstrate low quantum…
A protocol for the bottom-up self-assembly of nanogaps is developed through molecular linking of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Two π-conjugated oligo(phenylene ethynylene) molecules (OPE) with dithiocarbamate anchoring groups are used as ligands for the AuNPs. OPE-4S with a dithiocarbamate in each end of the molecule an…
Recently, the coating of thin oxide or nitride film on top of crystals of atomically-thin layered material (ATLM) has been introduced, which benefits optical and electrical properties of the materials and shields them from environmental contact, and has important implications for optoelectronics applications of layere…
Nonspecific interaction is a key parameter affecting the efficiency of proteins, nucleic acids or cell separation. Currently, many approaches to introduce antifouling properties to materials have been developed. Among these, surface modification with polymer brushes plays a prominent role. The aim of this study was to…
Ceramic eutectics are naturally occurring in‐situ composites and can offer superior mechanical properties. Here, ZrB 2 –ZrC x N 1− x quasi‐binary ceramic eutectic composites were produced by arc‐melting a mixture of ZrB 2 , ZrC, and ZrN powders in an N 2 atmosphere. The arc‐melted ZrB 2 –ZrC x N 1− x composites contai…
The fundamental measure approach to classical density functional theory has been shown to be a powerful tool to predict various thermodynamic properties of hard-sphere systems. We employ this approach to determine not only one-particle densities but also two-particle correlations in binary and six-component mixtures o…
We have simulated unique textured window films that capture solar radiation without compromising the window’s transparency by scattering infrared light toward photovoltaic strips located at the edges of the window. These films are ideal for powering electrochromic glass, which is difficult to install as each window re…
