Conventional leather processing generally involves a combination of single and multistep processes that employs as well as expels various biological, inorganic, and organic materials. It involves nearly 14-15 steps and discharges a huge amount of pollutants. This is primarily due to the fact that conventional leather…
Synthetic polymer surfaces require surface modification to improve biocompatibility. A generic route to biocompatible silicone elastomers is described involving high yield surface functionalization of standard silicones with hydrosilanes, hydrosilylation using asymmetric, allyl-, NSC-terminated PEO of narrow molecular…
A molecular model is proposed to explain water 1H NMR spin-lattice relaxation at different levels of hydration (NMR titration method) on collagen. A fast proton exchange model is used to identify and characterize protein hydration compartments at three distinct Gibbs free energy levels. The NMR titration method reveal…
Racemic highly ordered helical mesoporous silica has been formed by self-assembly of achiral surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of the co-structure directing agent N-trimethoxysilylpropyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride.
Hydrotalcite compounds have been successfully prepared by successive infiltrations into the interstices of an ordered array of polystyrene spheres, subsequently removed by either dissolution or thermal decomposition. This method using a template leads to the formation of a three-dimensional open macroporous framework…
We study the polymer adsorption characteristics, pair-interaction potentials, and phase and percolation behavior in nanoparticle-polymer mixtures. We propose a "saturable" adsorption model to capture the effect of the finite surface saturation capacity for adsorption, and use polymer self-consistent field theory in co…
The use of excessively long time steps in dissipative particle dynamics simulations may produce simulation artifacts due to the generation of configurations which are not representative of the desired canonical ensemble. The configurational temperature, among other quantities, may be used to assess the extent of the d…
When surface state electrons scatter at perturbations, such as magnetic or nonmagnetic adatoms or clusters on surfaces, an electronic resonance, localized at the adatom site, can develop below the bottom of the surface state band for both spin channels. In the case of adatoms, these states have been found very recentl…
The positive magnetoresistance has been investigated for ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x}\mathrm{Si}$ single crystals in a wide range of doping $(0.05\ensuremath{\leqslant}x\ensuremath{\leqslant}0.7)$. Most of the magnetoconductivity data are found to scale well with the magnetization. This is incons…
The role of nanotechnology in cardiovascular diagnosis is expanding rapidly. The goal of this brief review is to illustrate selected examples of nanosystems that have been applied to the arenas of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology. The technologies for producing targeted nanosystems are multifarious an…
The metal-insulator transition observed in the In/Si(111)-4x1 reconstruction is studied by means of ab initio calculations of a simplified model of the surface. Different surface bands are identified and classified according to their origin and their response to several structural distortions. We support the, recently…
Polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction studies have been carried out on single crystals of the coupled spin tetrahedra systems Cu2Te2O5X2 (X=Cl, Br). A model of the magnetic structure associated with the propagation vectors k'Cl ~ -0.150,0.422,1/2 and k'Br ~ -0.172,0.356,1/2 and stable below TN=18 K for X=Cl an…
Using x-ray diffraction Ghose et al. [Surf. Sci. {\bf 581} (2005) 199] have recently produced a structural model for the quantum-wire surface Si(553)-Au. This model presents two parallel gold wires located at the step edge. Thus, the structure and the gold coverage are quite different from previous proposals. We prese…
We report semi-empirical pseudopotential calculations of emission spectra of charged excitons and biexcitons in CdSe nanocrystals. We find that the main emission peak of charged multiexcitons—originating from the recombination of an electron in an s-like state with a hole in an s-like state—is blueshifted with respect…
We have fabricated twisted nematic cells doped by carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The CNTs with a minute amount of doping did not perturb the liquid crystal orientation in the off and on state. The hysteresis studies of voltage-dependent transmittance and capacitance under ac and dc electric field showed that the residual dc…
Heusler alloy Mn2NiGa has been developed by synthesizing a series of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys Mn25+xNi50−xGa25 (x=0–25). Mn2NiGa exhibits a martensitic transformation around room temperature with a large thermal hysteresis up to 50 K and a lattice distortion as large as 21.3% and has a quite high Curie temper…
The comment of Guseinov is irrelevant and also unjust. In contrast to his comment, we show that the obtained electric multipole moment values for some first-row diatomic molecules are original and better than his values (I.I. Guseinov, E. Akin, and A.M. Rzaeva, J. Mol. Struct. (Theochem) 453 (1998) 163) with respect t…
A dielectric vertical cavity is used to study the spin dynamics of molecularly self-assembled colloidal CdSe quantum dots (QDs). Using this structure, a nearly 30-fold enhancement of Faraday rotation is observed, which scales with the quality factor of the cavity. In this classical nonperturbative regime, the amplifie…
The dilute acid (0.05 M H 2 SO 4 ) hydrolysis at 175 °C of samples comprised of varying fractions of crystalline (α-form) and amorphous cellulose was studied. The amorphous content, based on XRD and CP/MAS NMR, and the product (glucose) yield, based on HPLC, increased by as much as a factor of 3 upon ball milling. The…
Light emission resulting from two-photon excited gold nanoparticles has been proposed to originate from the radiative decay of surface plasmon resonances. In this vein, we investigated luminescence from individual gold nanorods and found that their emission characteristics closely resemble surface plasmon behavior. In…
