Superhydrophobicity can arise from the ability of a submerged rough hydrophobic surface to trap air in its surface pores, and thereby reduce the contact area between the water and the frictional solid walls. A submerged surface can only remain superhydrophobic (SHP) as long as it retains the air in its pores. SHP surf…
Tissue-engineered dermis is thought to be the best treatment for skin defects; however, slow vascularization of these biomaterial scaffolds limits their clinical application. Exogenous administration of angiogenic growth factors is highly desirable for tissue regeneration. In this study, biodegradable gelatin microsph…
We investigate the dispersion properties of the acoustic surface waves on surface of elastic metamaterials. With an analytical approach, we show that unconventional acoustic surface waves, with dispersion behaviors very similar to the electromagnetic surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on metal surfaces, can exist on th…
The recent advent of chirped-pulse FTMW technology has created a plethora of pure rotational spectra for molecules for which no vibrational information is known. The growing number of such spectra demands a way to build empirical potential energy surfaces for molecules, without relying on any vibrational measurements.…
Microstructural analysis of a Mg-Zn alloy deformed at room temperature by high-pressure torsion (HPT) indicates that fine-scale precipitation occurs even without post-deformation heat treatment. Small-angle X-ray scattering detects precipitates with radii between 2.5-20 nm after one rotation, with little increase in p…
We have developed a dual-functional nanocarrier composed of a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a hydrophobic farnesylthiosalicylate (FTS, a nontoxic Ras antagonist), which is effective in delivery of hydrophobic anticancer drug, paclitaxel (PTX). To facilitate the retention of the therapeutic activity of the…
Single-sided fluorination has been predicted to open an electronic band gap in graphene and to exhibit unique electronic and magnetic properties; however, this has not been substantiated by experimental reports. Our comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of this material on a SiC(0001) substrate shows that s…
We study thin films of homopolymers (PS) and monolayers of cylinder-forming diblock copolymers (PS–PHMA) under shear. To this end, we employed both experiments and computer simulations that correctly take into account hydrodynamic interactions and chain entanglements. Excellent quantitative agreement for static as wel…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a promising imaging modality for use in a variety of multiplexed tracking and sensing applications in biological environments. However, the uniform production of SERS nanoparticle tags with high yield and brightness still remains a significant challenge. Here, we describe an…
To synthesize high quality barium hexa-ferrite nano powders, an ultrasonic-assisted co-precipitation method has been used and the influences of the ultrasonic technique on the particle morphologies and magnetic properties of the synthesized barium hexa-ferrite nano powders have been investigated. The results indicated…
This work presents a comprehensive study of electroabsorption in CdSe colloidal quantum dots, nanorods, and nanoplatelets. We experimentally demonstrate that the exposure of the nanoplatelets to a dc electric field leads to strong broadening of their lowest-energy heavy-hole absorption band and drastically reduces the…
Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (PODE n ) converted from methanol and formaldehyde were investigated with alumina supported ZrO 2 catalyst in a stainless steel tube fixed-bed reactor within the temperature range from 333 to 433 K and the pressure range from 0.1 to 2.5 MPa. First, results from catalytic performance te…
The production of layered double hydroxide(LDH) nanocomposite as an alternative drug delivery system against various ailments is on the increase. Their toxicity potential is usually dose and time dependent with particle sizes, shapes and surface charge playing some role both in the in vitro and in vivo studies. The re…
The nonlocal correlation energy in the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004); Phys. Rev. B 76, 125112 (2007); Phys. Rev. B 89, 035412 (2014)] can be interpreted in terms of a coupling of zero-point energies of characteristic modes of semilocal exchange-correlation (xc) ho…
A 3-D model of freckle (solute channel) formation at a microstructural level was coupled with in situ X-ray radiography to investigate the mechanisms of freckle initiation and growth. The model predictions for solute partitioning, diffusion and convection were validated via in situ X-ray radiographic measurements in G…
Low dose electron imaging applications such as electron cryo-microscopy are now benefitting from the improved performance and flexibility of recently introduced electron imaging detectors in which electrons are directly incident on backthinned CMOS sensors. There are currently three commercially available detectors of…
Phototransistors based on monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have high photosensitivity due to their direct band gap transition. However, there is a lack of understanding of the effect of metal contacts on the performance of atomically thin TMD phototransistors. Here, we fabricate phototransistors based…
Low-temperature polycondensation of 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) was carried out with the aid of N,N-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) as carboxyl group activators. Reaction conditions were selected to obtain oligomeric hyperbranched polyamides. The polycondensation was found to proceed according to the simple model of…
Cu-18.2Zn-1.5Si-0.25Fe (mass%) alloy was heavily cold rolled. Ultrafine grained (UFGed) structure, containing a mixture of lamellar and mechanical twins, was easily and homogeneously formed. The average grain size was approximately 100 nm. The as-rolled sample showed quite high ultimate tensile strength (UTS) over 1 G…
Abstract In the present study, the vibrational properties of single crystal Ge samples are studied between room and melt‐ing temperature using the impulse excitation technique (IET). From the IET measurements, the temperature dependent Young's moduli Eijk of single crystal Ge are extracted in the (100), (110) and (111…
