Complex electrical-conductivity experimental data sets for the interfacial amorphous phase in copper-core-copper-oxide-shell nanostructured composites have been analyzed using two Kohlrausch-related frequency response models recently developed for analysis of the dispersive electrical response of conductive materials.…
Cyclodextrin cavities have been intercalated in a layered metal hydroxide to create hydrophobic nanopockets within the galleries of the layered solid. Anthracene molecules have been included in the anchored cavities by partitioning from a polar solvent. The excitation-emission fluorescence spectra of the included anth…
A new crystalline clathrate class of syndiotactic poly( p -methylstyrene) has been found through thermal and WAXS analyses. In these clathrate forms, the polymer chains assume a T 6 G 2 T 2 G 2 conformation with a repetition period of 11.7 ± 0.1 Å and t 2 symmetry. The new conformation, supported by molecular mechanic…
The effect of Laponite and an amphiphilic triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) (PEO(99)-PPO(65)-PEO(99), and labeled F127) on the absorption character of two cationic dyes, methylene blue and toluidine blue O, was studied and interpreted in terms of th…
Abstract In this study, we have investigated morphology evolution of polymer blends during extrusion. By choosing two polymers, high density polyethylene (PE) and poly (1,4‐butylene terephthalate) (PBT), having a large difference in melting temperature, we could control the viscosity ratio of the blend as well as the…
Synthetic water-soluble meso-tetra(2,6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrinates of Mn(III) chloride [Mn-(TDCPPS)Cl] and iron(III) chloride [Fe-(TDCPPS)Cl] were employed as biomimetic catalysts in the photooxidative coupling of a terrestrial humic acid (HA). The changes in molecular dimension of HA induced by irradiati…
Peptide-quantum dot conjugates have been prepared by attaching angiotensin II (Ang II) to cadmium selenide/zinc sulfide core-shell nanocrystals using an 1-[3-(Dimethyamino)propyl]-3-ethylcarbo diimide hydrochloride (EDC) coupling. These conjugates have been used to image angiotensin I-expressing Chinese hamster ovary…
Abstract Summary: Organically modified montmorillonites (OMs), carrying alkyl chains, phenyl groups, or a combination of both, were prepared and compounded with polyethylene. The oxygen permeability coefficients and tensile properties of the nanocomposites were correlated to the exfoliation of the OMs. Partial exfolia…
Phase transitions and the local structure of micrometric droplets of liquid gallium under pressure were studied by combining extended x-ray absorption fine structure, single-energy x-ray absorption detection (SEXAD), and energy-scanning x-ray diffraction (ESXD). Measurements were performed in a range of pressures and…
The nature of low-frequency magnetoelectric (ME) coupling has been investigated in bilayers of single crystal lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) and yttrium iron garnet (YIG). Samples with (001) PMN-PT and polycrystalline, single crystal, or epitaxial thin films of YIG were studied. The ME coupling is the w…
We have demonstrated how dielectric planar chiral surfaces can both modulate the intensity and change the polarization state of visible light diffracted from patterned surfaces. These effects are shown to be dependent on the sense of chirality of the surface and the input polarization state of the light. Individual di…
A laser reflection method has been developed and tested for analyzing the etching of porous silicon (PS) films. It allows in situ measurement and analysis of the time dependency of the etch rate, the thickness, the average porosity, the porosity profile, and the interface roughness. The interaction of an infrared lase…
Luminescent colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) are robust inorganic fluoro phores that have the potential to circumvent some of the functional limitations encountered by organic dyes in sensing and biotechnological applications. Quantum dots exhibit size-dependent tunable, narrow fluorescence emission…
The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties are reported of [Mn12O12(O2CPe(t))16(MeOH)4] (4), [Mn6O2(O2CH2)(O2CPe(t))11(HO2CPe(t))2(O2CMe)] (5), [Mn9O6(OH)(CO3)(O2CPe(t))12(H2O)2] (6), and [Mn4O2(O2CPe(t))6(bpy)2] (7, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), where Pe(t) = tert-pentyl (Pe(t)CO2H = 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid). Thes…
Although it is well-known that TiO2 incorporation can greatly improve the cyclic stability of V2O5, the influences of TiO2 addition on the Li+ intercalation properties of V2O5 remain an issue of debate in literature. In this paper, we report on a systematic investigation of the preparation and intercalation properties…
Abstract Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP‐ g ‐MA) and organically modified clay composites were prepared in a plasticorder. PP‐ g ‐MAs, including Polybond PB3150, Polybond PB3200, Polybond PB3000, and Epolene E43, with a wide range of maleic anhydride (MA) concentrations and molecular weights were used. The…
Explicit formulas are obtained to describe the buckling behavior of triple-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that are embedded in an elastic matrix, with van der Waals (vdW) interaction taken into consideration. The investigation is based on the continuum shell theory in which the individual tube is treated as a cylindri…
We show that disorder can modify dramatically the effective magnetic response of a composite metamaterial including its specific property of negative refraction. We demonstrate that a relatively weak disorder in the parameters of the split-ring resonators can reduce and even completely eliminate the finite frequency r…
Mesoporous gold thin films on glass substrates were fabricated by sputtering of AuAl2 precursor films followed by a de-alloying etch. The resulting sponge-like Au films have very high internal surface area due to nanoscale pores and channels. Scattering is not significant and the optical properties for such nanostruct…
We report a strategy for patterning surfaces with high aspect ratio gold nanorods (Au NRs) by using a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp to microcontact print 3−5 nm diameter gold nanoparticle (Au NP) “seeds” onto mercaptan-functionalized Si/SiO x surfaces and subsequently grow the seeds into Au NRs via seed-mediated…
