PAMAM dendrimers of the zeroth to fifth generation (G0-5) have been peripherally modified with phenyl, naphthyl, pyrenyl, and dansyl chromophores. Their fluorescence behaviors are strongly affected by the dendritic architectures at different generations. These dendrimers modified with hydrophobic chromphores can self-…

Novel copolymer brushes have been synthesized by a two-step "grafting from" method that consists of the electrografting of poly(2-phenyl-2-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yloxy)-ethylacrylate) onto stainless steel, followed by the nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of 2-(dimethylamino ethyl)acrylate and styren…

A synthesis strategy for aqueous-cored calcium phosphate nanoparticles is presented that combines ease of preparation, reproducibility, size control, stability, and mean thickness control. Suspension stability and shell thickness control were achieved through the introduction of a “capping” molecule, carboxyethylphosp…

The two-dimensional viscous froth model is a simple tractable model for foam rheology and coarsening. It includes, but is not confined to, the quasistatic regime. Here we present a detailed analysis and implementation of the model, illustrated with various examples. With certain simplifying assumptions, it provides si…

Abstract Nanocomposites of intercalated and exfoliated organosilicates in acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) were prepared by a solution‐blending method. The dispersion and intergallery spacings of organosilicates in these nanocomposites were examined by transmission electron microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. Dramat…

The performance of density-functional theory to solve the exact, nonrelativistic, many-electron problem for magnetic systems has been explored in a new implementation imposing space and spin symmetry constraints, as in ab initio wave function theory. Calculations on selected systems representative of organic diradical…

Addition of vancomycin (1, the receptor) to the supramolecular hydrogel of self-assembled pyrene-d-Ala-d-Ala (2, the ligand) increases the storage modulus of the hydrogel of 2 by about 106-fold. Rheology, microscopy, and spectroscopy investigations suggest that the two-dimensional polymers, formed by the ligand-recept…

We discuss the problem of magnetic-dipolar oscillations combined with microwave resonators. The energy density of magnetic-dipolar or magnetostatic (MS) oscillations in ferrite resonators is not the electromagnetic-wave density of the energy and not the exchange energy density as well. This fact reveals very special b…

Simple methods are presented allowing the determination of the magnetic anisotropy axes of a crystal of a single-molecule magnet. These methods are used to determine an upper bound of the easy axis tilts in a standard ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{12}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Ac}$ crystal. The values obtained in the present stud…

Electronic interband transitions influence the surface plasmon resonance in metallic nanoparticles significantly. We derive expressions for the resonance frequency, the bandwidth and the maximum of the light absorption cross section of noble metal nanoparticles, taking into account the interband transitions in the die…

This work consists in applying the analysis of integrable models to study the problem of Hyper-Kahler metrics building. In this context, we use the harmonic superspace language applied to D=2 N=4 SU(2) Liouville self interacting model and derive an explicit central extended Hyper-Kahler metric as well as the induced s…

Alkaline earth silicate glasses $xCaO-(1-x)SiO_2$ exhibit a well marked threshold in Raman lineshapes which can be related to the onset of network rigidity as the concentration of calcium oxide $x$ is decreased. The present results are analyzed by constraint counting algorithms and more deeply characterized by a size…

Phenomenological theory of the Mott transition is presented. When the critical temperature of the Mott transition is much higher than the quantum degeneracy temperature, the transition is essentially described by the Ising universality class. Below the critical temperature, phase separation or first-order transition o…

Structure and reactivity often are dependent on the polarity of chemical bonds. This relationship is reflected by atomic charges in classical (semiempirical) atomistic simulations; however, disagreement between atomic charges from accurate experimental investigations, ab initio methods, and semiempirical methods has n…
