The present study investigated the potential of a novel micropatterned substrate for neocartilage formation. Articular chondrocytes were cultured on poly( ɛ-caprolactone) materials whose surfaces were either flat or honeycomb-patterned. The latter was prepared using a novel self-organization technique, while the forme…

In order to create a new mechanofluorochromic material, title compound (BMAAP) was designed and synthesized. BMAAP was found to readily form an amorphous glass with a glass transition temperature of 9 °C and exhibit solvatofluorochromism in solution. BMAAP was also found to exhibit fluorescence both in crystalline sta…

The Kubo formula for the electrical conductivity of per stratum of few-layer graphene, up to five, is analytically calculated in both simple and Bernal structures within the tight-binding Hamiltonian model and Green's function technique, compared with the single-layer one. The results show that, by increasing the laye…
