Densely aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by surface decomposition of SiC (0001¯) C-face in vacuum were observed by plan-view transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the wall number of CNTs was directly proportional to the diameter of CNTs. Comparing with the theoretical calculation, it was revealed that all…

In this paper, the positive effect of a gold layer on cell viability is demonstrated by examining the results given by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfop henyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay and two-color cell fluorescence viability (TCCV) assay. These cytotoxicity tests were performed wi…

Abstract The morphological features of composite latex particles predominantly develop during the polymerization process and depend upon a significant number of variables. In this study, we have concentrated on the relative polarities of the two polymers in the particles and the rate at which we added the monomers dur…

We investigate the interaction energy between two colloidal particles on or immersed in nonadsorbing polymer brushes grafted onto the substrate as a function of the separation of the particles by the use of a self-consistent-field theory calculation. Depending on the colloidal size and the penetration depth, we demons…

We study the problem of heat conduction in a mass-disordered two-dimensional harmonic crystal. Using two different stochastic heat baths, we perform simulations to determine the system size (L) dependence of the heat current (J). For white noise heat baths we find that J approximately 1/L(alpha) with alpha approximate…

An undecasubstituted chloroiron corrolate, octamethyltriphenylcorrolatoiron chloride, (OMTPCorr)FeCl, has been synthesized and studied by X-ray crystallography and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy. It is found that, although the structure is slightly saddled, the average methyl out-of-plane distance is only 0.63 Angstr…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of the technologically important ${\mathrm{NaBH}}_{4}$ compound under high pressure. Using Raman spectroscopy at room temperature, we have found that ${\mathrm{NaBH}}_{4}$ undergoes a structural phase transformation starting at 10.0 GPa with the pure high-pressu…

While the proteins of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (carbohydrate PTS) have been shown to regulate numerous targets, little such information is available for the nitrogen-metabolic phosphotransferase system (nitrogen-metabolic PTS). To elucidate the physiological role of the nitrogen-m…

Monodisperse cobalt monoxide (CoO) nanocrystals ranging in size from 4.5 to 23 nm were prepared via the thermal decomposition of cobalt acetylacetonate (Co(acac)(2)) in oleylamine under vigorous stirring. The size control of the nanocrystals was achieved by tailoring the reaction temperature or by seed-mediated growth…

The research described here investigates the hypothesis that nanoarchitecture contained in a nanowire array is capable of attenuating the adverse host response generated when medical devices are implanted in the body. This adverse host response, or biofouling, generates an avascular fibrous mass transfer barrier betwe…

Novel thermoplastic starch (TPS)-clay nanocomposite foams were prepared by melt-processing. The use of urea as plasticizer avoids the cracking of TPS during storage and enhances the dispersion of ammonium-treated clay in TPS. X-ray diffraction shows an increase in the basal plane spacings of both natural and treated c…

Let's twist again: A cation–π interaction between Trp and Arg is designed at the interface between two α helices of a coiled-coil structure and stabilizes the structure more than Glu and Lys ion-pair interactions. Two or three Trp–Arg sets form an extended array of interactions (see picture) and increase the melting t…
