The overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in human epithelial cancers has been associated with aggressive disease, poor patient prognosis, and a high incidence of metastases. In the present study, block copolymer micelles are conjugated with epidermal growth factor (EGF), which acts as both a targe…
Sisal fibers have one of the greatest potentials among other lignocellulosic fibers to reinforce polymer matrices in composites. Sisal fibers have been modified to improve their compatibility with phenolic polymer matrices using furfuryl alcohol (FA) and polyfurfuryl alcohols (PFA) that can be obtained from renewable…
Forced wetting experiments with various liquids were conducted to study the dynamic wetting properties of nylon filament. The molecular-kinetic theory of wetting (MKT) was used to interpret the dynamic contact angle data and evaluate the contact-line friction zeta0 at the microscopic scale. By taking account of the vi…
We studied the thermoelectric properties of BaSi2, SrSi2, and LaSi. The polycrystalline samples were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The electrical resistivity (ρ), Seebeck coefficient (S), and thermal conductivity (κ) were measured above room temperature. The power factor (S2∕ρ) is quite low (below 10−5 Wm−…
Nanocrystalline Nd0.5Sr0.5MnO3 of average particle size 30 and 55 nm are prepared by the sol-gel technique. Transport, magnetotransport, magnetization, specific heat, and current-voltage characteristics studies have been performed on the samples. Our experimental results indicate that the ferromagnetic transition temp…
Addition of rctt-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)cyclobutane (2,2'-tpcb) in a Cu(II)/N(3)- solution afforded the 1D coordination polymer [Cu(3)(N(3))(6)(2,2'-tpcb)(DMF)(2)](n) (1). The ligand 2,2'-tpcb serves as a tetradentate bis-chelating ligand by linking linear [(DMF)Cu(mu(1,1)-N(3))(2)Cu(N(3))(2)(mu(1,1)-N(3))(2)Cu(DMF)] trin…
Purpose The goal of this review paper is to provide information on several commonly used thermography techniques in semiconductor and micro‐device industry and research today. Design/methodology/approach The temperature imaging or mapping techniques include thin coating methods such as liquid crystal thermography and…
Complex oxides represent a class of materials with a plethora of fascinating, intrinsic physical functionalities. The intriguing interplay of charge, spin, and orbital ordering in these systems superimposed by lattice effects opens a scientifically rewarding playground for both fundamental and application-oriented res…
The manganites are pseudo-cubic oxides of manganese that show extremes of functional behavior. Diverse magnetic and electronic phases coexist on a wide range of length scales even within single crystals. This coexistence demonstrates a complexity that inspires ever deeper study. Yet even the basic nature of the coexis…
Ferromagnetic (FM) ordering in transition-metal systems (solids, surface layers, nanoparticles) arises from partially filled d shells. Thus, recent observations of FM Au nanoclusters was unexpected, and an explanation has remained elusive. Here we report first-principles density-functional spin-polarized calculations…
In this study, sputtered undoped and nitrogen doped Sb2Te3 (ST and STN) films were systematically investigated by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and resistance measurements. Their application to lateral phase-change memory (PCM) is presented as well. The STN film sputtered at a flow rate ratio (N2∕Ar) of 0.07 proved to have…
The room-temperature thermal conductivity of semiconductor alloys is analyzed using a simplified model of the alloy-disorder scattering. Good agreement is achieved between the present model and published experimental data on various group-IV and III−V semiconductor alloys. A complete set of alloy-disorder parameters a…
Lysozyme monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) which are hydrophilic and biocompatible and show excellent colloidal stability (at low temperature, ca. 4 degrees C), were synthesized in aqueous medium by chemical reduction of HAuCl4 with NaBH4 in the presence of a familiar small enzyme, lysozyme. UV-vis spect…
The four para fluoro groups on 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorophenyl)-porphyrin (TPPF20) are known to react with a variety of nucleophiles, but the reaction conditions for this substitution reaction depend on the nature of the nucleophiles, e.g. primary amines versus thiols. Glycosylated derivatives of this…
A two dimensional crystalline layer is found at the surface of the liquid eutectic Au$_{82}$Si$_{18}$ alloy above its melting point $T_M=359 ^{\circ}$C. Underlying this crystalline layer we find a layered structure, 6-7 atomic layers thick. This surface layer undergoes a first-order solid-solid phase transition occurr…
Thermoelectric energy conversion technology is attracting great attention for the conversion of waste heat into electricity. For practical thermoelectric applications, the figure of merit for thermoelectric performance ZT needs to be >1. Although heavy-metal-based materials such as Bi2Te3 and PbTe exhibit ZT ∼ 1, they…
In this article we present size dependent spectroscopic observations of nanocolloids of ZnO. ZnO is reported to show two emission bands, an ultraviolet (UV) emission band and another in the green region. Apart from the known band gap 380 nm and impurity 530 nm emissions, we have found some peculiar features in the flu…
The atomic and electronic structure of a set of proposed thin (1.6 nm in diameter) silicon/silica quantum nanodots and nanowires with narrow interface, as well as parent metastable silicon structures (1.2 nm in diameter), was studied in cluster and PBC approaches using B3LYP/6-31G* and PW PP LDA approximations. The to…
Multiferroics, materials combining multiple order parameters, offer an exciting way of coupling phenomena such as electronic and magnetic order. Using epitaxial growth and heteroepitaxy, researchers have grown high-quality thin films and heterostructures of the multiferroic BiFeO3. The ferroelectric and antiferromagne…
High purity of (7,5) SWNTs (approximately 79% of the semisonducting SWNT ensemble) can be obtained by polymer-assisted extraction from the narrow-diameter distributed SWNTs produced by the catalyst Co-MCM-41. The fluorene-based polymers are able to selectively wrap the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with certa…
