We have produced fully biomass-based poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) from furfural produced from inedible agricultural cellulosic waste. Furfural was oxidized to give fumaric acid. Fumaric acid was hydrogenated under high pressure with a palladium-rhenium/carbon catalyst to give 1,4-butanediol, and with a palladium/car…
One of the main reasons for the current interest in colloidal nanocrystals is their propensity to form superlattices, systems in which (different) nanocrystals are in close contact in a well-ordered three-dimensional (3D) geometry resulting in novel material properties. However, the principles underlying the formation…
Here we report high-performance sub-100 nm channel length graphene transistors fabricated using a self-aligned approach. The graphene transistors are fabricated using a highly doped GaN nanowire as the local gate with the source and drain electrodes defined through a self-aligned process and the channel length defined…
Iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are frequently employed in biomedical research as magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents where high intracellular levels are required to clearly depict signal alterations. To date, the toxicity and applicability of these particles have not been completely unraveled. Here, we show that e…
Films with high pore density and regularity that are easy to manufacture by conventional large-scale technology are key components aimed for fabrication of new generations of magnetic arrays for storage media, medical scaffolds, and artificial membranes. However, potential manufacture strategies like the self-assembly…
A poisoned chalice? Surface functionalization of 2 nm gold nanoparticles is an important determinant of their acute toxicity and genotoxicity. These attributes need to be considered for their use as carriers, and provide new direction for the design of therapeutics.
CuInS2 nanocrystals are viewed as very good candidates for solar harvesting and light emitting applications. Here we report an optimized noninjection method for the synthesis of monodisperse pyramidal CuInS2 nanocrystals with sizes ranging from 3 to 8 nm. This synthetic route is able to yield large amounts of high qua…
Triggerable drug delivery systems enable on-demand controlled release profiles that may enhance therapeutic effectiveness and reduce systemic toxicity. Recently, a number of new materials have been developed that exhibit sensitivity to visible light, near-infrared (NIR) light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields. This resp…
A potential platform for simultaneous anticancer drug delivery and MRI cell imaging has been demonstrated by uniform hollow inorganic core/shell structured multifunctional mesoporous nanocapsules, which are composed of functional inorganic (Fe(3)O(4), Au, etc.) nanocrystals as cores, a thin mesoporous silica shell, an…
Large-area sheets are highly desirable for fundamental research and technological applications of graphene. Here we introduce a modified chemical exfoliation technique to prepare large-area graphene oxide (GO) sheets. The maximum area of the GO sheets obtained can reach ∼40000 μm(2). We found that the GO area is stron…
In this study, fabrication and mechanical properties of alumina based ceramic matrix nanocomposite reinforced with 15 and 26·6 vol.-%Mo particles were investigated. Alumina–molybdenum nanocomposite powders were prepared by ball milling of Al and MoO3 in an SPEX8000 type ball mill. The powder particles were consolidate…
Abstract Poly(trimethoxy silylpropylaniline), a nanoporous (pore diameter of 2.4 nm), electroactive (stable reversible redox characteristics), electrochromic (yellow at −0.10 V, blue green at +0.50 V, and dark green at +0.70 V), and pH‐sensitive, silica–polyaniline (PANI) hybrid material (designated as KGM‐1) has been…
Low temperature sintering of α‐Si3N4 matrix ceramics was developed in the present study using 4 wt‐%MgO together with Al2O3 or AlPO4 as the sintering additives and spark plasma sintering technique. The results suggested that α‐Si3N4 ceramics could be densified at low sintering temperature by adjusting both the sinteri…
Abstract Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/styrene‐acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) blends were investigated with respect to their phase morphology. The SAN component was kept as dispersed phase and PBT as matrix phase and the PBT/SAN viscosity ratio was changed by using different PBT molecular weights. PBT/SAN blends w…
Abstract Sequential electropolymerization of aniline followed by an aniline derivative bearing an ion moiety is presented. The studied derivatives contain sulfonic, carboxylate or amino groups. Its electrochemical behavior at acid and neutral pH is studied by cyclic voltammetry combined with quartz crystal microbalanc…
Formenvielfalt: Komplexe Partikel mit unterschiedlichen Formen, z. B. Kugeln, Zylinder, Scheiben, Herzen, Sechsecke und Januspartikel, können durch zwei verschiedene oberflächenspannungsinduzierte Fluss-Sequenzen (A und B; siehe Bild; Maßstab 100 μm) hergestellt werden. Die Partikel lassen sich als anisotrope Baustein…
Unsupported gold nanoparticles in solution are reported here for the first time to catalyze the oxidation of CO at ambient conditions. Gold was stabilized in solution by various polyamidoamine dendrimers. Dendrimer-encapsulated gold nanoparticles (DENs) 0.5−2.5 nm in diameter have low initial activity. With storage ti…
Abstract A computational procedure is presented to quantify the order achieved in assembled block copolymer films when no disruptive defects are present (i.e., dislocations or disclinations). Both simulated and real systems were used to show that sub‐nm variation in the domain position, as well as the corresponding re…
The effect of confinement by crystals on the α relaxation, observed by dielectric broadband spectroscopy, in isotropic as well as in oriented semicrystalline poly(vinilydene fluoride), is analyzed on the basis of a new thermodynamic model. In both samples, it has been found that the average free-energy barrier, ΔF, fo…
The low-temperature electrical transport properties of nanocrystalline boron-doped diamond (b-NCD) thin films have been found to be strongly affected by the system's granularity. The important differences between the high and low-temperature behaviour are caused by the inhomogeneous nucleation of superconductivity in…
