Nano is one of the hottest topics in current science and technology. Characterizations of nanomaterials by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are becoming indispensable today. To gain better performance of TEM, people are expecting a novel TEM grid of which the supporting film should be highly cond…
Abstract Chirality plays an important role in biological and material sciences. By introducing chiral elements into functional materials, new properties are created and an increase in information density can be achieved. Chiral properties of functional materials do not only rely on molecular structure, but also on sup…
Abstract Three kinds of surface treatment, that is, the alkalization (5% w/v NaOH aqueous solution), the deposition of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) from toluene solution (1% w/v DGEBA), and the alkalization combined with the deposition of DGEBA (5% w/v NaOH/1% w/v DGEBA) were applied to modify interfacial b…
Here, we study some changes on the electronic band structure of anatase and rutile ${\text{TiO}}_{2}$ doped with Eu ions using first-principles calculations. This work presents a comparison of a GGA and $\text{LDA}+\text{U}$ calculations. It was found that the GGA calculations show better agreement with experimental d…
feasible new preparation was reported for an octacarboxylphenyl functionalized spherosilicate, octakis[(pcarboxyphenyl) dimethylsilyl]silicate, which was a versatile monomer leading to other functional spherosilicate derivatives. The synthesis was started from octakis[dimethyl(p-methylphenyl)silyl]silicate. Octakis[di…
We present a comparison between the screened hybrid density functional theory of Heyd, Scuseria, and Enzerhof (HSE06) and high-resolution photoemission (PES) measurement on a single crystal of UO(2). Angle-resolved photoemission data show a slight dispersion in the f-orbital derived bands in good agreement with the HS…
We explore the application of a previously suggested formula for determining the degree of charge transfer in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). SERS is often described as a phenomenon which obtains its enhancement from three major sources, namely the surface plasmon resonance, charge-transfer resonances as wel…
Abstract Well‐graphitized core/shell iron/carbon nanoparticles (Fe@CNPs) were formed in toluene solutions containing Fe(CO) 5 ‐C 60/70 via an novel microwave arcing process. High temperature γ ‐Fe phase was found to be stable at room temperature when encapsulated inside graphene shells. In the absence of C 60/70 , the…
Roll up! Roll up! The self-assembly of para-terphenylen-1,4′′-ylenebis(dodecanamide) in THF results in either multiwalled, rolled-up, open-ended organic nanotubes or layered sheets (see picture) depending on the conditions used. The nanotubes can co-assemble with fullerene to produce quasi-cable-like structures with C…
Abstract This article presents the fabrication of cellulose nanofibrous mats (CNM) reinforced soybean protein isolate (SPI) composite with high visible light transmittance. The CNM was composed of cellulose nanofibers generated from electrospinning technique. The microstructure of the fractured surface of composite fi…
The behavior of a verdazyl-based radical bound to open-shell transition metal ions in the structurally and magnetically characterized [M(hfac)2imvd(o)] (M = Mn, Ni; hfac = (1,1,1,5,5,5)hexafluoroacetylacetonate; imvd(o) = 3-(2'-imidazolyl)-1,5-dimethyl-6-oxoverdazyl) complexes is rationalized using ab initio wave-func…
Abstract The synthesis of high conductivity poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films using vacuum vapour phase polymerisation is reported. Water vapour is introduced into the chamber and results suggest that it acts as a proton scavenger during polymerisation. Process optimisation leads to PEDOT films that have…
Abstract Hundreds of gradient concentric rings of linear conjugated polymer, (poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐ phenylenevinylene], i.e., MEH‐PPV) with remarkable regularity over large areas were produced by controlled “stick‐slip” motions of the contact line in a confined geometry consisting of a sphere on a fl…
Innovative biomedical techniques operational at the nanoscale level are being developed in therapeutics, including advanced drug delivery systems and targeted nanotherapy. Ultrathin needles provide a low invasive and highly selective means for molecular delivery and cell manipulation. This article studies the geometry…
This paper describes a poly(vinylpyrollidone)-directed polyol synthesis method for the fabrication of silver (Ag) nanostructures with well-controlled shapes (such as nanorods and nanocubes) by adjusting the synthesizing parameters. The structure characterizations suggest that the Ag nanorods grow from the five-fold tw…
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) gradually acidify their environment through the conversion of pyruvate to lactate, an essential process to regenerate NAD(+) used during glycolysis. A clear demonstration of acidification can be found in yogurt, the product of milk fermentation by the LAB Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulga…
Abstract The possibility of producing a biodegradable polymer electrolyte based on cellulose acetate (CA) with varied concentration of LiClO 4 for use in supercapacitors has been investigated. The successful doping of the CA films has been analyzed by FTIR and DSC measurements of the LiClO 4 doped CA films. The ionic…
A series of seven fast-biodegrading aliphatic polyesters were prepared from 1,3-propanediol and aliphatic diacids with increasing number of methylene units (x). Melting points decreased from PPSu to PPAd and then increased again to PPAz and PPSeb. Crystallization rates and thermal stability increased steadily with inc…
Abstract Preparation of real ladder polysiloxanes (LPSs), including both oxygen‐bridged ladder polysilsesquioxanes (LPSQs) and organo‐bridged ladder polysiloxanes (OLPSs), had been a great challenge to polymer chemists from 1960 until the successful synthesis of LPSs via the supramolecular architecture‐directed stepwi…
Abstract The aim of this review is to explore the fundamental and technological incentive for the molecular design, synthesis, and aggregation behavior of conjugated organic molecules with photo‐electronic activity, and the fabrication of low‐dimensional organic conjugated nanomaterials by self‐assembly techniques.
