Chemistry has generally been associated with inorganic and organic syntheses, metal-organic composites, coordinate metal chemistry, catalyses, block copolymer, coating, thin film, industrial surfactants and small-molecule drug development. That is about to change. Chemistry will also expand to the discovery and fabric…

Chromium Poisoning of Perovskite Cathodes by the ODS Alloy Cr5Fe1Y2O3 and the High Chromium Ferritic Steel Crofer22APU, Konysheva, E., Penkalla, H., Wessel, E., Mertens, J., Seeling, U., Singheiser, L., Hilpert, K.
We present an overview of the physical properties of spider silks, and introduce a model designed to study the energy absorbed by the material as it stretches before breaking. Of particular interest are the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds as well as the role of water in modifying the material properties of si…
We focus on the preparation of hybrid polymer/zinc oxide (ZnO) solar cells, in which the metal oxide consists of ZnO columnar structures grown perpendicularly on a flat, dense “backing” layer, as a means to provide a direct and ordered path for photogenerated electrons to the collecting electrode. We used scanning ele…
The past few decades have seen an escalation of power densities in electronic devices, and in particular in microprocessor chips. Together with the continuing trend of reduction in device dimensions this has led to dramatic increase in the thermal issues within electronic circuits. Thermal management is therefore beco…
Freestanding silicon nanoparticles (FS-nc-Si) have intriguing chemical and optical properties. The present contribution outlines known synthetic methodologies and protocols for surface functionalization. Recent advancements in tailoring the photoluminescence properties of FS-nc-Si and future research directions will b…
The influence of fuel impurity on power generation characteristics of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) has been analyzed by measuring cell voltage at a constant current density, as a function of concentration, operational temperature, and fuel gas composition. Reversible cell voltage change was observed around , while f…
Coating of liposomes with polyethylene-glycol (PEG) by incorporation in the liposome bilayer of PEG-derivatized lipids results in inhibition of liposome uptake by the reticulo-endothelial system and significant prolongation of liposome residence time in the blood stream. Parallel developments in drug loading technolog…
Drug delivery systems have been developed for cancer therapy in an attempt to increase the tumour drug concentration while limiting systemic exposure. Liposomes have achieved passive targeting of solid tumours through enhanced vascular permeability, which is greatly augmented by hyperthermia. However, anti-tumour effi…
Polymer brushes are assemblies of macromolecules chemically tethered at one end to a substrate. They provide an alternative to self-assembled monolayers because of the intrinsically large size of the building blocks and the ensuing entropic contribution to the film morphology. In this article, an overview of a number…
Collagen, gelatin and collagen hydrolysate were prepared from bovine limed split wastes by different preparative processes. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed that the molecular weight distribution of collagen was very narrow (about 200 and 100kDa for β and a chains r…
We critically review recent results obtained by studying the low-temperature specific heat of some of the most popular molecule-based materials. After introducing the experimental techniques and basic theoretical framework needed for heat capacity determination and understanding, we report on the magnetothermal proper…
By combining magnetic-field-assisted bioseparation and concentration technology with magnetite nanoparticles, novel green upconversion (UC) fluorescence nanocrystals (NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+) have been applied to the sensitive detection of DNA.
The scattering spectra of single gold nanorods with aspect ratios between 2 and 4 have been examined by dark field microscopy. The results show that the longitudinal plasmon resonance (electron oscillation along the long axis of the rod) broadens as the width of the rods decreases from 14 to 8 nm. This is attributed t…
In this review we present a summary of recent progress achieved in examining the equilibrium and dynamical properties of concentrated solutions of two novel kinds of soft matter systems: and starburst molecules known as . The two systems share a host of interesting properties. The both consist of highly branched polym…
This paper deals with a fundamental review of preparation methods, characterizations, thermal and environmental stabilities and practical applications of polypyrrole (PPy) conducting electroactive polymers. In this article some of the most important factors affecting the electrical, electrochemical, thermal and enviro…
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of biobasorbable magnesium alloy stents in porcine coronary arteries. Bioabsorbable magnesium stents carry the potential to overcome the limitations posed by permanent metallic stents such as chronic inflammation, late stent thrombosis, prolonged antiplatelet th…
Several recently developed detection techniques opened studies of individual metal nanoparticles (1-100 nm in diameter) in the optical far field. Eliminating averaging over the broad size and shape distributions produced by even the best of current synthesis methods, these studies hold great promise for gaining a deep…
The compositional dependence of mechanical properties and microstructural change of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y alloys has been investigated in the effort to develop a high strength Mg-Zn-Y alloy with long period ordered (LPO) structure. The extruded alloy Mg96Zn2Y2 exhibited a high yield strength of 390 MPa and elongation o…
