We apply Gans theory to fit the absorption spectra of gold nanorods with aspect ratios R ≤ 2.5 in solution using both the longitudinal and transversal surface plasmon resonance absorption peaks and the dielectric constant of the medium, ε m, as a fitting parameter. By fitting the broadened absorption peaks using the a…

Raman scattering measurements of vitreous ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ were performed over a wide range of temperatures in order to study the behavior of the boson peak and the quasielastic scattering. The analysis of quasielastic contribution in the framework of the J\"ackle model demonstrates that the quasielastic excess an…

Poly(oxyethylene) alkyl ether (CnEOm) is intercalated into the interlayer space of a layered silicate kanemite by using layered hexadecyltrimethylammonium (C16TMA) intercalated kanemite (C16TMA-kanemite) as the intermediate. C16TMA-kanemite was treated with an aqueous solution of C16EO10, and the intercalation of C16E…

The dispersion of fillers in polymers is generally associated with an improvement of at least some of the properties (mechanical, thermal, electrical, etc.) of the corresponding macromolecular material. These phenomena are known to result from the interactions, which take place at the molecular level between the polym…

We observed two-dimensional (2D) nucleation behavior on {110} and {101} faces of tetragonal crystals of model protein lysozyme by laser confocal microscopy combined with differential interference contrast microscopy (LCM-DIM). We measured, for the first time directly and noninvasively, the 2D nucleation rates using 99…

Synthetic mineral libethenite Cu(2)PO(4)OH was prepared by the hydrothermal method, and its structure at 200 K was refined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of Cu(2)PO(4)OH is built up from Cu2(2)O(6)(OH)2 dimers of edge-sharing Cu2O(4)(OH) trigonal bipyramids and [Cu1(2)O(6)(OH)(2)] proportional chai…

Abstract Montmorillonite (MMT) was modified with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). The X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and FTIR analyses showed that the CMC chains had intercalated into the MMT sheets, and the strong chemical interaction between the ether bonds from CMC and SiO bonds from MMT was the driving force for intercalat…

Spiders and their silk are an excellent system for connecting the properties of biological materials to organismal ecology. Orb-weaving spiders spin sticky capture threads that are moderately strong but exceptionally extensible, resulting in fibers that can absorb remarkable amounts of energy. These tough fibers are t…
