Ordered macroporous particles of silica and titania were fabricated by colloidal templating. The colloidal templates were assembled through colloidal crystallization of suspended polystyrene latex sphere particles in aqueous droplets straddling an air−oil interface. The procedures involve first preparing spherical col…

Experimental studies and theoretical predictions of the bulk-degradation behavior of nonideal PLA- b -PEG- b -PLA hydrogels were performed. The theoretical predictions are based on a previously developed model to which refinements have been made, including the incorporation of a more realistic description of the cross…

Ferroelectric thin films of barium titanate were fabricated by sol–gel technique on platinum substrates. The processing temperature was 700 °C. The films obtained with a thickness of 1.5 μm were dense, transparent, and showed ferroelectricity. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction were used for studying t…

The fast and inexpensive production of single-crystal silicon nanowires, which circumvents the use of lithography, is achieved by pyrolysis of silane in nanochannel alumina with a gold catalyst. The nanowires (see Figure for an SEM image) are very straight, not intertwined, and uniform in diameter and length. They sho…

Relaxations in a poly(alkyl methacrylate) series are systematically influenced by chemical modifications like the variation of side-chain length, random copolymerization, or molecular weight. Recent results concerning the influence of chemical modifications on special parts of the relaxation chart are reviewed. The di…

This paper examines the development of starch-based plastics for use as biodegradable mulch film. A variety of starch-based polymers are blended with high performance biodegradable polyester polymers in order to determine the applicability of films to be processed on a film blowing line and to perform well in mulch fi…

The correction of soft-tissue defects presents a challenge in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The implantation of isolated and culture-expanded adipose precursor cells is a solution to this problem because these cells differentiate into adipocytes when implanted in vivo. Appropriate scaffolds are needed in soft-ti…

A red-light emitting europium complex(see Figure) is investigated here as an alternative to traditional fluorescent materials, which have an inherent electroluminescence (EL) efficiency limited to 25 % of their photoluminescence (PL) efficiency. It is shown that by optimizing the structure of Eu complex–based devices…

A simple and elegant approach to fabrication of dense ceramic membranes on porous substrates, a traditional dry pressing of foam powders, has been developed to reduce the cost of fabrication. Gd‐doped ceria (GDC, Gd 0.1 Ce 0.9 O 1.95 ) electrolyte membranes as thin as 8 μm are obtained by dry‐pressing highly porous GD…
