Aluminum(III) porphyrin carboxylate complexes have shown an affinity for a sixth nitrogenous ligand. The use of isonicotinic or nicotinic acid, which offers both a carboxylate and a nitrogen donor in the same molecule, resulted in the formation of one-dimensional (1-D) coordination polymers. The complexes and their li…
5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin was functionalized by covalent attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains of various molecular weights, 350, 2000, and 5000 Da. The properties of PEG-functionalized tetraarylporphyrins in aqueous solution and their interactions with liposomes have been studied. Elect…
A diazonium salt-based strategy is employed to form a covalently attached multilayer of diphenyl disulfide on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The interlayer S−S bonds are subsequently degraded reductively to produce essentially a single layer of thiophen…
Abstract Spherical silica particles with large mesopores and controlled particle size in the submicron range were prepared using a mixed solution of silica nanoparticles and nanosized polymer particle as a template via spray routes.
Genes encoding high-affinity folate- and thiamine-binding proteins (FolT, ThiT) were identified in the Lactobacillus casei genome, expressed in Lactococcus lactis, and functionally characterized. Similar genes occur in many Firmicutes, sometimes next to folate or thiamine salvage genes. Most thiT genes are preceded by…
Lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-Portland cement (PC) composites were produced and the effect of poling time on the piezoelectric properties such as piezoelectric coefficient (d33) and electromechanical coupling coefficient (Kt) of 0–3 connectivity PZT-Portland cement (PC) composites were investigated. PZT-PC composites…
We present the results of an investigation of gold nanoparticles (NPs) capped with stimuli-responsive polymers, especially copolymers of di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (MEO 2 MA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA) in biphasic water−toluene mixtures. Gold NPs capped with these co…
In this work the effect of mixing on a sol−gel process is quantitatively investigated. Titanium dioxide synthesis from titanium tetra-isopropoxide is used as a test reaction. Solutions of titanium alkoxide in isopropyl alcohol and water in isopropyl alcohol are mixed in a special mixing device (i.e., vortex reactor) a…
Graphitic carbon nanofibers were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition of methane and acetylene on the γ-alumina-supported nickel catalyst. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy were used to examine…
We demonstrate an approach using temperature-dependent hydrogel depletants to thermoreversibly tune colloidal attraction and interfacial colloidal crystallization. Total internal reflection and video microscopy are used to measure temperature-dependent depletion potentials between approximately 2 microm silica colloid…
The shear-induced coil-helix transition of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) has been studied with time-resolved Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at various temperatures. The effects of temperature, shear rate, and strain on the coil-helix transition were studied systematically. The induced conformational order inc…
We report one-pot synthesis, encapsulation, and solubilization of high-quality quantum dots (QDs) based on the use of amphiphilic and multidentate polymer ligands. In this "all-in-one" procedure, the resulting QDs are first capped by the multidentate ligand and are then spontaneously encapsulated and solubilized by a…
Wrapping of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) was examined by using a poly[( m-phenylenevinylene)- alt-( p-phenylenevinylene)] (PmPV) derivative. The polymer's intrinsic ability in forming a helical conformation was found to play an essential role in the separation of nanotubes. Among about 15 tubes present in th…
Physical hydrogels of chitosan in the colloidal domain were obtained in the absence of both cross-linker and toxic organic solvent. The approach was based on a reverse emulsion of a chitosan solution in a Miglyol/Span 80 mixture, generally regarded as safe. Temperature and surfactant concentration were optimized, and…
Superhydrophobic surfaces were obtained on copper and galvanized iron substrates by means of a simple solution-immersion process: immersing the clean metal substrates into a methanol solution of hydrolyzed 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane (CF3(CF2)5(CH2) 2SiCl3, FOTMS) for 3-4 days at room temperature and the…
Micrometer-sized nanostructured flowerlike MgO nanostructures were synthesized by an ethylene-glycol-mediated self-assembly process. The synthesized samples were studied systematically by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform IR, and…
We present a novel conducting polypyrrole-based composite material, obtained by polymerization of pyrrole in the presence of iron(III) chloride on a cellulose substrate derived from the environmentally polluting Cladophora sp. algae. The material, which was doped with chloride ions, was molded into paper sheets and ch…
Monodisperse samaria nanospheres and nanorods have been synthesized from commercial bulk Sm 2 O 3 powders and various capping long-chain alkyl acids (e.g., oleic acid, myristic acid, decanoic acid). The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron…
Heterostructured Cu2S-In2S3 nanocrystals with various shapes and compositions were synthesized by a high-temperature precursor-injection method using the semiconductor nanocrystal Cu1.94S as a catalyst. The intrinsic cationic deficiencies formed at high temperature by Cu ions made the Cu1.94S nanocrystal a good candid…
The influence of fluctuations in the grain size along the gauge length on ductility is analysed in the superplastic regime. It is demonstrated that these fluctuations produce a similar effect to that produced by variations in the initial uniformity of the sample, leading to premature necking. To reach superplastic elo…
