Abstract Low‐power, plasma‐enhanced (PE)CVD together with polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) can be used to deposit thin films of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with minimal loss of functional groups, as shown by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Ram…
A novel "ditopic" ligand containing two monophosphinate triacetate DOTA-like units linked by a thiourea bridge has been synthesized and its complexes with Ln3+ ions (Ln = Y, Eu, Gd, Dy) investigated by NMR spectroscopy and relaxometry. The presence of one water molecule in the first coordination sphere has been determ…
This study presents novel coplanar waveguide (CPW) power splitters comprising a CPW T-junction with outputs attached to phase-adjusting circuits, i.e., the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) CPW and the conventional CPW, to achieve a constant phase difference with arbitrary value over a wide bandwidth. To demonstrate…
Two kinds of amino acids (L-cysteine and L-cystine, represented as L-CySH and L-Cys respectively) have been intercalated into MgAl layered double hydroxides by coprecipitation. The structure and composition of the intercalated materials have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and elemental analysis. Further…
Isothermal self-sustained kinetic oscillations in CO oxidation over silica-supported Pt at near-atmospheric pressure were studied by combined in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The use of a specially designed reactor and careful choice of the physical properties of the catalyst and…
Optical properties of generalized dielectric Fibonacci multilayer generated by the rule Sl+1 = Sn l S m l−1 with a pair of positive integers m and n were studied. The initial generations S1 and S2 are taken as S1 = H and S2 = L where H and L are two elementary layers with refractive indices nL = 1.45 and nH = 2.3, res…
The successful intercalation of a variety of organic dicarboxylates and sulfonates into the novel LDHs [MAl4(OH)12](NO3)2·yH2O (M = Zn, Cu, Ni and Co) has recently been reported [G. R. Williams, T. G. Dunbar, A. J. Beer, A. M. Fogg and D. O’Hare, J. Mater. Chem., DOI: 10.1039/b514874j, ref. , the preceeding paper in t…
Hydrothermal treatment of anodized alumina membranes has been known for years and is believed to seal the pores by transforming aluminium oxide into lower density hydroxides. We demonstrate that, at least for 60 nm diameter pores grown from anodization in oxalic acid at 40 V, the hydrothermal treatment significantly s…
Our objective in this work was to develop a flexible, biodegradable scaffold for cell transplantation that would incorporate a synthetic component for strength and flexibility and type I collagen for enzymatic lability and cytocompatibility. A biodegradable poly(ester urethane)urea was synthesized from poly(caprolacto…
Reaction of a 1 : 1 : 1 molar ratio of NiCl(2), NaN(3) and H(2)L, a tetradentate ligand N-(2-pyridyl)methyl)-N,N-bis(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-dimethylbenzyl)amine in methanol in presence of Et(3)N results in a turquoise precipitate, which affords deep green crystals of [Ni(2)(HL)(2)(N(3))(2)]*1.5CH(2)Cl(2) (1) and [Ni(2)(HL)(…
First demonstration of heat and pH-responsive hydrogel of SDS and a zwitterionic amphiphile, sodium N-(n-dodecyl-2-aminoethanoyl)-L-valinate with very low minimum gelation concentration.
This paper presents an overview of our recent studies on mineralized polysaccharide capsules and their potential as multifunctional scaffolds for the organisation and delivery of human cell types, DNA and growth factors. Microcapsules containing these encapsulates are readily produced at room temperature in the form o…
An overview of the evolution of artificial photosynthetic charge transfer systems containing porphyrin donors and pyromellitic or naphthalene diimide acceptor units is presented. Progression in this area of research is highlighted by the complexity of the systems, the nature of the medium separating donor and acceptor…
Liposome loading with Gd via the membrane-incorporated polychelating amphiphilic polymers (PAPs) significantly increases the Gd content and relaxivity (T1 parameter) of PEGylated liposomes, which can be used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, we demonstrate that such Gd-containing liposomes…
Presented are initial, S(0) and coverage, Theta, dependent S(Theta), adsorption probability measurements of CO(2) as a function of impact energy, E(i) = 0.12-1.3 eV, adsorption temperature, T(s) = 85-300 K, hydrogen and oxygen pre-exposure, as well as density of defects, Gamma, as varied by annealing (T = 600-900 K) a…
Multilayered (GDC∕BCY∕GDC) electrolytes were prepared by tape casting on a anode support. The overall electrolyte thickness ranged from , including a thick BCY layer. When the multilayered electrolyte cell was tested with hydrogen at the anode and air at the cathode in the temperature range of , it yielded open-circui…
The current worldwide research on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been facilitated by unique physico-chemical properties and wide opportunities the CNTs offer for the new field of nanotechnology. The recent studies have shown that, for the efficient use of CNT structural properties, particularly in the engineering of mult…
Carbaporphyrinoids provide a suitable macrocyclic platform for organometallic investigations providing unique capabilities for reversible modifications of a macrocyclic structure. Alteration of a coordination core is the route of choice for stabilizing unusual metal ion oxidation states and coordination geometries. Th…
The aniline dimer, N-(4-aminophenyl)aniline has been polymerized cleanly under mild conditions to obtain an emeraldine base form of polyaniline using [MeB(3-(Mes)Pz)3]CuCl as the catalyst and H2O2 as the oxidant, while the subsequent acidification of the emeraldine base gives the conducting emeraldine salt form of pol…
High fatigue-resistant photochromic dithienylethenes were synthesized by controlling the oxidation state of 1,2-bis(2-methyl-1-benzothiophene-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene (BTF6) and 1,2-bis(2,5-dimethylthien-3-yl)perfluorocyclopentene (DMTF6).
