In this work, we show that Janus washers, genus-one colloids with hybrid anchoring conditions, form topologically required defects in nematic liquid crystals. Experiments under crossed polarizers reveal the defect structure to be a rigid disclination loop confined within the colloid, with an accompanying defect in the…
The phase transition in the (1 − x)BiVO4–x(Li0.5Bi0.5)MoO4 solid solution was first confirmed by the in situ X-ray diffraction method. The merging of the (2 0 0) and (0 2 0) diffraction peaks in the X-ray diffraction data, and the overlapping of the δs(VO4) and δas(VO4) modes for Raman and Infrared spectra of x = 0.06…
A Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC) has been utilized to prepare novel triazole-linked cationic porphyrin-psoralen conjugates that exhibited significant photocytotoxicity against A549 cancer cells (IC50 = 84 nM).
Enhancement of near-band edge of Au–ZnO composite nanowires was studied by in situ observation of photoluminescence. All the experiments were conducted on the same individual nanowires. This procedure eliminates the possible influence of the amount of the products collected by the micro spectrometer and uneven PL prop…
Polyetheral additives were found to be efficient promoters to enhance the rate of H2-release from ammonia borane (AB) at various temperatures. In particular, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (T4EGDE, 29 wt% relative to AB + T4EGDE) exhibited significantly improved activities for AB dehydrogenation, with the materia…
The development of a facile method for the fabrication of breath figure (BF) films from hydrophobic polymers is gaining significant importance for their accessibility as templates in fields ranging from electronics and cell culturing to sensing and catalysis. By introducing polyester-based dendritic linkers, a library…
High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) have been used as templates for the preparation of low-density highly porous chitosan foams. The formation of hydrogels and porous foams, by crosslinking in the external phase of O/W HIPEs, has been studied. The stability of the emulsions, prepared using a nonionic surfactant (C13…
The self-assembly behaviour, structure, and consequently the electronic properties of electroactive organic molecules can differ significantly from those of the bulk material when confined to thin films. Here we have examined the self-organised in-plane and out-of-plane structures of aniline oligomers in thin films us…
PE/clay nanocomposites were prepared by mixing a commercially available premixed polyethylene/O-MMT masterbatch into a polyethylene blend matrix containing 80 wt% low-density polyethylene and 20 wt% high-density polyethylene with and without anhydride modified polyethylene (PE-MA) as the compatibilizer using a corotat…
An effective approach to fabricate graphene-based conductive films is explored on the basis of the pressure-assisted reduction technique.
Hollow metal oxide nanocrystals were prepared by etching cuprous oxide with metal ions and were applied as photoelectrodes. As a hard template, polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized cuprous oxide (PVP-Cu2O) and non-stabilized cuprous oxide (nPVP-Cu2O) were synthesized by a precipitation method. Hollow iron oxide and cobalt…
Ag2Se nanocrystals were demonstrated to be novel semiconductor mediators, or in other word catalysts, for the growth of semiconductor heterostructures in solution. This is a result of the unique feature of Ag2Se as a fast ion conductor, allowing foreign cations to dissolve and then to heterogrow the second phase. Usin…
We present hybrid solar cells with high efficiency utilizing a novel donor-acceptor combination of poly[2,6-(4,4'-bis-(2-ethylhexyl)dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]silole)-alt-4,7(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)] (PSBTBT) and a PbSxSe1-x inorganic semiconductor. Several nanocomposite parameters are evaluated in order to improve the hy…
A selection of bolaamphiphilic perylene bisimides (PBI) were prepared from the reaction of perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride with α-amino acids. These molecules were obtained in good yield using a simple synthetic protocol and avoiding the need for complex purification methods, a major advantage for future applicati…
A novel and facile citrate-assisted hydrothermal approach has been developed for the shape-selective synthesis of fluoride microcrystals, including NaYF4 and YF3, by tuning the pH of the mother liquid. A series of controlled experiments demonstrate that three important factors, including the pH values of the mother so…
A gold monolayer film and cysteine layer-by-layer self-assemble onto modified glasses, and through the use of optical waveguide spectroscopy (OWGS) and a dynamic SERS technique for the first time to study the dynamic generation process of the Meisenheimer complex between TNT and cysteine. This strategy can detect TNT…
A plethora of formulation techniques have been reported in the literature for site-specific targeting of water-soluble and -insoluble anticancer drugs. Along with other vesicular and particulate carrier systems, nano-aggregates have recently emerged as a novel supramolecular colloidal carrier with promise for using po…
A new material consisting of mm-sized hollow cellulose spheres, for biomedical applications or for the preparation of low weight porous materials has been prepared by a unique solution precipitation (SP) method. The technique is based on three separate steps. In the first step, high molecular mass, non-modified cellul…
The synthesis of 4,4'-[6,6'-methylenebis (2-(2-(3,4-dicyanophenoxy)-5-methylbenzyl)-4-methyl-6,1-phenylene)] bis (oxy) diphthalonitrile 1 was achieved starting from 4-nitrophthalonitrile and 6,6'-methylenebis(2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)-4-methylphenol in DMF at 50 °C by the catalysis of K2CO3 under argon. The corresp…
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is widely used in clinical research to map the structural and functional organization of the brain. We have designed and synthesized a Gd-based specific MR contrast agent that binds to regions in the brain. The presented compound {4-[(4-benzothiazol-2-yl-phenylcarbamoyl)-methyl]-7,10-bi…
