We present ab initio calculations of transport properties of the multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The tube-electrode contact mode is found to have crucial effects on the transport behavior of MWNTs. It is the outmost-shell contact between MWNT and electrodes that leads to the extensively observed outmost-shell-co…

An efficient two-step, chemoenzymatic synthesis of N -trifluoroacetyl doxorubicin-14-valerate (Valrubicin) from doxorubicin hydrochloride salt is reported. The key step is a lipase-catalyzed regioselective esterification of N -trifluoroacetyl doxorubicin using commercially available valeric acid as the acyl donor. The…

Ti 3 Si C 2 ∕ 3 Y - TZP (3mol% Yttria-stabilized zirconia) composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The effective dc conductivities of the composites have been measured and the percolation threshold was determined. The dielectric behavior of the composites was studied in the frequency range 102–4×107Hz. The…

A fluorescence probe technique was used to investigate the role of the solvent in the syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) thermoreversible gel system. Four probe molecules with different molecular sizes were dispersed throughout the gels, and their fluorescence anisotropy values were examined in detail for a range of sPS c…

The photochromic ligand bis(terpyridyl)hexaarylbiimidazole (bistpy-HABI) and the Fe(II) complex of bistpy-HABI with formula [{Fe(tpy)}2.bistpy-HABI](PF6)4.4H2O were synthesized and characterized. Bistpy-HABI is readily cleaved into a pair of terpyridyltriphenylimidazolyl radicals (tpy-TPI*) on irradiation with UV ligh…

We demonstrate the wafer-scale integration of single-electron memories based on carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) using a process based entirely on self assembly. First, a "dry" self-assembly step based on chemical vapor deposition (CVD) allows the growth and connection of CNFETs. Next, a "wet" self-as…

In this article, the surface erosion of spin-coated poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) films by lipase solutions from Thermomyces lanuginosus was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). PTMC films (23-48 nm thick) were stable in water at 37 degrees C for 16 h, while after immersion in lipase solutions at 37 degr…

A large-scale scaffold processing method with injection molding has been successfully developed. Water was used as afoaming agent for the new technique. NaCl was used as a porogen to achieve an open-cell structure. Organic solvents, which are common foaming agents for polyurethane, where not used. Toxic remains in the…

Two 3,5-disubstituted sulfonamide catechol ligands were synthesized. Tris(ligand) iron(III) complexes were prepared and investigated as MRI contrast agents. Longitudinal relaxivity (r1) values were determined for the complexes. The r1 values in water were substantially higher than those of typical six-coordinate iron(…

By photochemically cross linking the molecules of a reactive end group functionalized calamitic liquid crystal (bis(heptylphenyl)-bithiophene-oxetane) in the smectic mesophase, an insoluble rigid molecular network is formed which remains structurally unchanged on cooling to room temperature. The charge transport is in…
