Unlike its two components, the temperature coefficient of resistivity (TCR) of GeTe/Sb2Te3 multilayer (ML) increases from negative to positive on annealing, indicating an insulator-metal transition (IMT). Impedance spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that the grain boundary resistance (negative TCR) determines the t…
Abstract A simple and nonconventional electrospinning technique was employed for producing aligned polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers. A thermal zone was placed between syringe needles and collector in the electrospinning set up to obtain aligned and heat treated nanofibers. Suitable temperatures for heat treat proces…
A series of titanium-silver-iron ternary alloys have been prepared in this study, and their feasibility as dental materials has been evaluated by the microstructural examination, mechanical testing, corrosion resistance evaluation, surface analysis, and cytotoxicity tests. More and more β-Ti phase appears at room temp…
The effects of Sr/Ba ratio and bias field on the acoustic anomalies of SrxBa1−xNb2O6 (SBN − x) were investigated by Brillouin scattering. The “critical” part in the elastic constant and the absorption coefficient increased linearly with decreasing Sr content. This was attributed to the enhanced coupling between the po…
Stability of phases existing in chemical systems is determined by its Gibbs free energy designated as G. The relative position of Gibbs free energy surfaces in the G–T–X (composition) space determines stability ranges of respective phases yielding a map called the phase diagram. Since the knowledge of phase equilibria…
Abstract Linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a widely used polymer that can benefit from the enhanced barrier, thermal, and mechanical properties offered by nanoclay fillers. However, optimal property enhancement requires complete exfoliation and uniform dispersion, both of which are difficult to achieve with n…
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major global health burden. Typically HCC responds poorly to chemotherapy, and such approaches to treat HCC are commonly associated with severe hepatic and/or systemic toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate a porous resorbable silica-calcium phosphate nanocomposite…
Infiltrating fine-grained electrocatalyst particles of either ion conducting or mixed electron and ion conducting (MEIC) material into a ceramic porous electrode scaffold has proven a very effective way to improve electrode performance for low to intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). We report here…
Abstract Potato starch was radiolytically degraded to different extents by irradiating with Co‐60 gamma radiation in wide dose range. The degraded starch was plasticized using glycerol and water to obtain radiation processed thermoplastic starch (RTPS). Blends of different RTPS and low density polyethylene (LDPE) were…
Drug loaded nanofibers were prepared as a novel drug delivery system for the delivery of a medical drug-Amphotericin B which is the most promising drug for leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). The nanofibers were prepared from 10 wt. % gelatin in acetic acid and water mixed with 1 wt. % Amphotericin B, and the fiber-morphology…
Stability of Zn(II) and Cu(II) complexes of porphyrin derivatives (pheophytin and mesoporphyrin) to UV-B -irradiation has been studied by absorbance spectroscopy in 95% ethanol. The chosen porphyrins as well as their heavy metal complexes undergo photochemical decomposition obeying first-order kinetics. In general, ph…
This article presents a comparative study on the effects of nano α-alumina on thermal degradation and dynamic mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. In this respect, two types of composites were prepared, with dispersant and without dispersant. Thermogravimetric analysis of both composites showed…
In this work, the interaction of hydrogen with Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) in the tetragonal phase is investigated using water electrolysis technique. Microstructural observations show the development of a hydrogen affected (corroded) layer adjacent to the electrode functioning as the cathode during the water electrolysis. A co…
We compare the superconducting phase-diagram under high magnetic fields (up to $H=45$ T) of Fe${}_{1+y}$Se${}_{0.4}$Te${}_{0.6}$ single crystals originally grown by the Bridgman-Stockbarger (BRST) technique, which were annealed to display narrow superconducting transitions and the optimal transition temperature ${T}_{…
Effective models of the mechanical behavior of thermoelectric materials under device conditions require knowledge of temperature-dependent elastic properties. Between room temperature and 600 K, resonant ultrasound spectroscopy measurements of three skutterudite thermoelectric materials, i.e. n-type Co0.95Pd0.05Te0.05…
Surface-plasmon-assisted modal gain enhancement was investigated in Au-hybrid CdSe/ZnS nanocrystal quantum dots. A fivefold enhancement of the modal gain was observed at room temperature in the presence of a Au film by using modal gain contour map analysis, and the photoluminescence intensity and size-selective photol…
Abstract Composites of conducting polymers and metal oxides have a potential role in electronic devices because of their enhanced physical and electronic properties. An in situ synthesis of metal oxide nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANI) and tanninsulfonic acid doped PANI was carried out at −10°C with two different r…
Triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and 2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate (HEMA) are known to deplete glutathione in mammalian cells, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cause oxidative stress. In this study, we investigated whether hydroxyl radicals (·OH), the most lethal and genotoxic ROS, and the Fenton r…
This article deals with the confined crystallization behavior of nanobiocomposites consisting of acetylated bacterial cellulose (BC) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA). PLA/acetylated BC nanobiocomposites were prepared by compressed molding. Nonisothermal crystallization, melting behavior and isothermal crystallization kinet…
We report the synthesis and characterization of main-chain liquid-crystalline polymers via the hydrosilylation polyaddition of a divinyl terminated bent-core mesogenic monomer and tetramethyldisiloxane. Interestingly, these bent-core main-chain polymers form the “dark conglomerate” mesosphase (DC) in broad ranges of t…
