Hollow nanoparticles represent an emerging area of development for the encapsulation of active ingredients. Expanding the capabilities of these nanomaterials will require continued efforts to infill properties such as size control, biodegradability, and environmental responsiveness. Acid-labile poly(N-vinylformamide)…
The optical properties of quantum dots (QDs) have made them attractive materials in diverse fields of application. Since water‐soluble derivatives were obtained, quantum dots have attracted intensive research interest in sensing, diagnosis, imaging, and optical tracking. The analytes that have been targeted span ions,…
We predict, from computer modeling and simulation in partnership with experiment, a general strategy for synthesizing spherical oxide nanocrystals via crystallization from melt. In particular we "simulate synthesis" to generate full atomistic models of undoped and Ti-doped CeO2 nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanoporous…
Fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) thin films have been prepared by spray pyrolysis technique with no further annealing. Films with 2.5% of fluorine grown at 400 °C present a single phase and exhibit a tetragonal structure with lattice parameters a = 4.687 Å and c = 3.160 Å. Scanning electron micrographs showed homogeneou…
The aim of this study was to provide a practical approach towards discovering the anisotropic behaviors of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-coated fabrics under low tensile stresses, as well as those at the tensile failure stage. Test specimens were PVC-coated polyester woven fabrics. One group of bias tensile experiments, wi…
Archaea are abundant and drive critical microbial processes in the Earth's cold biosphere. Despite this, not enough is known about the molecular mechanisms of cold adaptation and no biochemical studies have been performed on stenopsychrophilic archaea (e.g., Methanogenium frigidum). This study examined the structural…
The transmission lines most frequently used in corrosion studies are discussed. The interpretation of impedance data for cylindrical pores, and irregularly-shaped noncylindrical pores, frequently used in studies of pitting corrosion is analyzed. A ladder network is used to model diffusion processes.
Next‐generation micro‐solid oxide fuel cells for portable devices require nanocrystalline thin‐film electrolytes in order to allow fuel cell fabrication on chips at a low operation temperature and with high power outputs. In this study, nanocrystalline gadolinia‐doped ceria (Ce 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 1.9− x ) thin‐film electrol…
This study reports the development of a Nd(III)-based near-IR luminescent probe for monitoring aldo-ketoreductase (AKR) enzyme activity. We have adapted a coumarin-based reporter substrate for the AKR1C2 to a near-IR emitting format by tethering the former to a macrocyclic Nd(III) moiety via an alkyl linker. Enzymatic…
Lipossomas são vesículas constituídas de uma ou mais bicamadas fosfolipídicas orientadas concentricamente em torno de um compartimento aquoso e servem como carreadores de fármacos, biomoléculas ou agentes de diagnóstico. A estabilidade dos lipossomas pode ser afetada por fatores químicos, físicos e biológicos. Após ad…
Abstract CdSe quantum dots functionalized with oligo-(phenylene vinylene) (OPV) ligands (CdSe-OPV nanostructures) represent a new class of composite nanomaterials with significantly modified photophysics relative to bulk blends or isolated components. Single-molecule spectroscopy on these species have revealed novel p…
Abstract The reaction of [FeL(MeOH) 2 ] (L being a tetradentate [N 2 O 2 ] 2− coordinating Schiff base like ligand [([3,3′]‐[1,2‐phenylenebis(iminomethylidyne)]bis(2,4‐pentane‐dionato)(2‐)N,N′,O 2 ,O 2 ′], MeOH = methanol) with 4,4′‐bipyridine (bipy) results in the formation of a new iron( II ) spin crossover coordina…
A general synthetic route to the resonance-stabilized pyrazine-bridged bisdithiazolyl framework, involving the reductive deprotection of 2,6-diaminopyrazine-bisthiocyanate and cyclization with thionyl chloride, has been developed. An N-methyl bisdithiazolyl radical, 4-methyl-4H-bis[1,2,3]dithiazolo[4,5-b:5',4'-e]pyraz…
first present a PRAM with confinement of chemically vapor deposited GeSbTe (CVD GST) within high aspect ratio 50nm contact for sub 50nm generation PRAMs. By adopting confined GST, we were able to reduce the reset current below ~260μA and thermally stable CVD Ge2Sb2Te5compound having hexagonal phase was uniformly fille…
Transparent SiO2-Al2O3-NaF-YF3 glass ceramics co-doped with Er3+ and Tm3+ were prepared by melt quenching and subsequent heating. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments revealed that β-YF3 nanocrystals incorporated with Er3+ and Tm3+ were precipitated homogeneously among the oxide glass mat…
We report on the observed characteristics of the first-order phase transition of F-actin from the isotropic state to the nematic liquid-crystalline state. Solutions of short average filament length F-actin at appropriate concentrations phase separate to form tactoidal droplets. These tactoids are the result of the min…
The excited-state dynamics of a series of electron donor-acceptor bridged systems (DABS) consisting of a boron-dipyrromethene chromophore covalently linked to a dinitro-substituted triptycene has been investigated using femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. The chromophores differ by the number of bromine atom subst…
Celecoxib spherical agglomerates were prepared with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) using acetone, water and chloroform as solvent, non-solvent and bridging liquid, respectively. The agglomerates were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), IR spectroscopic studies and scanning el…
The effect of aging on the mechanical properties was investigated for a series of bacterial copolyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate- co -3-hydroxyhexanoate) [P(3HB- co -3HH)] with 3HH molar fraction ranging from 5 to 18 mol %. The mechanism behind the aging phenomenon was studied by using gel permeation chromatography (GPC…
