The adsorption of a globular protein on chemically well controlled surfaces was investigated in order to correlate its orientation to the surface properties. To this end, three different alkyl thiols, differing by their end group (−COOH, −CH 3, and −NH 2 ), were used to build up self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gol…

This paper presents responses of the free end of a cantilever micro beam under the effect of an impact force based on the modified couple stress theory. The beam is excited by a transverse triangular force impulse modulated by a harmonic motion. The Kelvin-Voigt model for the material of the beam is used. The consider…

TiB2-based ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) were fabricated using elemental powders of Ti, B and C. The self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) was carried out for the highly exothermic “in situ” reaction of TiB2 formation and the “tailing” synthesis of boron carbide characterized by weak exothermicity. Two…

Metal chalcogenides are important materials for a myriad of devices, but the ability to control their porosity is lacking. We report a method of inducing hierarchically ordered porosity using surface-treated nanocrystals and complementary architecture-directing agents. The resulting mesoporous materials are robust to…
