An acrylic and two novel allylic monomers synthesized from bis (hydroxyethyl) terephthalate, BHET, are reported. This was obtained by glycolysis of post-consumer PET with boiling ethylene glycol. The bifunctional monomer bis(2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl) terephthalate was obtained from acryloyl chloride, while the allylic mon…
In this paper, a highly sub-wavelength double negative (DNG) metamaterial for operation at high frequencies is designed, fabricated, and measured. A dual layer design that consists of a planar spiral on one side and a meander line touching with narrow metallic strips on the other side produces the properties of effect…
The successful synthesis and outstanding properties of graphene have promoted strong interest in studying hypothetical graphene-like silicon sheet (silicene). Very recently, 2D silicon nanosheet (Si-NS) stabilized by hexyl groups was reported in experiment. We here present an atomic-level investigation of the geometri…
ABSTRACT Here we report the preparation of PEG‐based thermoresponsive hyperbranched polymers via a facile in situ reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization using bis(thiobenzoyl) disulphide to form 2‐cyanoprop‐2‐yl dithiobenzoate in situ . This novel one‐pot in situ RAFT approach was stu…
The chiral-flexoelectrooptic effect in a Uniform Lying Helix (ULH) configuration provides a sub-millisecond in-plane rotation of the optic axis with the application of a transverse field. This enables displays with a wide viewing angle without costly in-plane-type electrodes. The salient challenge is one of alignment…
The formation of beryllium carbide from beryllium and graphite is here investigated. Using simple models and density functional theory calculations, a mechanism leading to beryllium carbide is proposed; it would be (i) first diffusion of beryllium in graphite, (ii) formation of a metastable beryllium-intercalated grap…
We report magnetic properties and magnetocaloric (MC) effect in Fe90−xNixZr10 (x = 0, 5, 10, and 15) alloy ribbons prepared by rapid-quenching method. We found the Curie temperature (TC) of the alloy ribbons depends strongly on Ni-doping concentration (x) increasing from 245 K for (x = 0), through 306 K (for x = 5) up…
OBJECTIVE: Macromolecular contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful blood-pool agents because of their long systemic half-life and have found applications in monitoring tumor vasculature and angiogenesis. Macromolecular contrast agents have been able to overcome some of the disadvantages of the c…
The thermodynamic functions of YbPO4 have been determined experimentally in the temperature range 6–1745 K. The results have been used to calculate temperature-dependent heat capacity, entropy, enthalpy increment, and reduced Gibbs energy of YbPO4 in the range 6–1800 K. The Gibbs energy of formation of ytterbium ortho…
Anti-1,8-bisTPI-naphthalene in which two imidazole rings are constrained to an anti-conformation leading to the first-formed 1,4'-isomer of the bridged imidazole dimer has been synthesized. The color of the radicals is different from that of the previously reported bridged-imidazolyl radicals because the intramolecula…
Colloidal quantum dots are well-established probes for quantum optical experiments. However, they possess a limited stability toward their environment. Herein, the generation of hybrid particles composed of a high optical quality quantum dot centered in a polymer particle by means of a miniemulsion polymerization proc…
The natural compounds triostin and thiocoraline are potent antitumor agents that act as DNA bisintercalators. From a pharmaceutical point of view, these compounds are highly attractive although they present a low pharmacokinetic profile, in part due to their low solubility. Synthetically, they represent a tour de forc…
Precision and surface quality of pure titanium (Ti) castings for dental and biomedical uses are limited because of the high melting temperature and the violent reactivity of Ti with mold materials during casting procedures. This feasibility study evaluates an experimental low-melting Ti-Co alloy in term of its microst…
In this paper, we investigate the mechanism of crystal-symmetry dependent deformation in ferroelectrics both experimentally and theoretically. We fabricated three types of Pb(ZrxTi1-x)O3 ceramics including the tetragonal (PZT45/55), the rhombohedral (PZT60/40), and the morphotropic (PZT52/48), where the tetragonal and…
Roughness of a positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) polyelectrolyte surface was shown to strongly influence the adsorption of 1.2-dipalmitoyl-sn-3-glycero-[phosphorrac-(1-glycerol)] (DPPG) liposomes on it. The adsorption kinetic curves of DPPG liposomes onto a low-roughness PAH layer reveal an adsor…
We report the field emission characteristics of a few-layer pristine and N-doped graphene by the in-situ transmission electron microscopy. The measurements were performed with a Pt-Ir nanoprobe and at a vacuum gap of 400 nm. The turn on voltage, required to draw an emission current of 1 nA from pristine and N-doped gr…
A Lewis acid has been considered as a char promoter during the combustion of polymers. The acidified 4A zeolites (HA zeolite) containing Lewis acid sites (4A-L zeolite) and Brønsted-acid sites (4A-H + zeolite) were prepared and their crystallinity and acidic site structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD)…
Concern over the influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on human health has arisen due to advances; however, little is known about the potential toxicity of CNTs. In this study, impurity-free single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), with different physical properties in cell culture medium, were prepared by a novel disper…
Photo-oxidation of semiconductor quantum dots is the prime concern during their processability, as it often induces nonradiative states and quenches the band edge excitonic emission. Nevertheless, similar effects have been observed for light emitting doped semiconductor nanocrystals, and the dopant emissions are also…
The X-ray diffraction data of l -serine anhydrous crystals was taken into account to initialize the total energy minimization process of their unit cell through density functional theory (DFT) computations, which were performed within both the local density and generalized gradient approximations with dispersion, LDA,…
