We present light harvesting of aqueous colloidal quantum dots to nonradiatively transfer their excitonic excitation energy efficiently to dye molecules in water, without requiring ligand exchange. These as-synthesized CdTe quantum dots that are used as donors to serve as light-harvesting antennas are carefully optimiz…

The melting temperature of individual electrospun polyethylene oxide (PEO) fibres was found using atomic force microscopy (AFM) topography imaging and nanomechanical measurements. The melting temperature of electrospun PEO fibres was observed to decrease with decreasing fibre diameter. A model predicting the size-depe…

Abstract This paper addresses the chemical characterisation of silicon carbide‐based grinding tools. These are among the most widely used grinding tools in the ceramic sector, and instruments are required that enable the grinding tool quality to be controlled, despite the considerable complexity involved in determinin…

We report the studies of epitaxial growth of trichosanthin (TCS) crystals on a mica substrate. TCS crystals grown on mica surface are found to be aligned well in four orientations, which was induced by the lattice of the mica substrate. The effect of potassium ions both at the mica surface and in solution was investig…

Magnetotransport at low temperatures and high-magnetic fields has been used to probe the spin splitting of the electron and hole Landau bands in natural graphite. Tilting the sample in the magnetic field allows to tune the Zeeman energy and hence the spin splitting. Due to the movement of the Fermi energy in the magne…

The layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition technique of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes allows formation of thin and ultrathin nanostructured films with tunable properties and, therefore, functionality. Here, we report on the synthesis and characterization of new polyelectrolyte multilayer system consisting of anionic…

A new biomimetic approach is introduced for quantum-dot synthesis in aqueous solution. The sulfide concentration gradient around the nucleating urease is controlled by the degree of inhibition of the catalytic activity, and the optimized precursor gradient on the enzyme generates monodisperse and crystalline sulfide s…

Heme is a key cofactor of hemoproteins in which porphyrin is often found to be preferentially metalated by the iron cation. In our previous work [Feng, X. T.; Yu, J. G.; Lei, M.; Fang, W. H.; Liu, S. B. J. Phys. Chem. B 2009, 113, 13381], conceptual density functional theory (CDFT) descriptors have been applied to und…

We study the microstructure and the effective interactions of model suspensions consisting of Yukawa-like colloidal particles homogeneously distributed in equally spaced parallel planar monolayers. All the particles interact with each other, but particle transfer between monolayers is not allowed. The spacing between…

Abstract In this study, helium/oxygen/nitrogen (He/O 2 /N 2 )‐plasma was used to etch/modify the surface of ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber. After coated with polyurethane (PU), the plasma treated UHMWPE fabrics were laminated. It was found that the values of peeling strength between the lamina…

Intestinal permeability to size-classified fish collagen peptides (FCPs) was examined using Caco-2 monolayers. Minimum-sized FCPs were most efficiently transported across the Caco-2 monolayers. Permeability depended on peptide size. It was independent of the H(+)-coupled peptide transport system but was associated wit…
