Polyaspartate domains are a prominent feature of proteins associated with biogenic carbonates and have been implicated in modifying crystal morphology through specific interactions with step edges. Here, we show that the morphology and growth kinetics of calcite are modified in a systematic way when a series of poly-…
Abstract Polylactides (PLA) have been known for several decades and are recently of considerable commercial significance. However, the literature on basic chain properties and solution characterization is divided and inconsistent. In this study, a comprehensive and well‐controlled set of experiments is combined with r…
We report results of the first computer simulation studies of a physically adsorbed gas on a quasicrystalline surface Xe on decagonal Al-Ni-Co. The grand canonical Monte Carlo method is employed, using a semiempirical gas-surface interaction, based on conventional combining rules, and the usual Lennard-Jones Xe-Xe int…
A current problem in semiconductor spin-based electronics is the difficulty of experimentally expressing the effect of spin-polarized current in electrical circuit measurements. We present a theoretical solution with the principle of transference of the spin diffusion effects in the semiconductor channel of a system w…
CdP4 nanoclusters were fabricated by incorporation into the pores of zeolite Na-X and by deposition of the clusters onto a quartz substrate using laser ablation-evaporation technique. Absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of CdP4 nanoclusters in zeolite were measured at the temperatures of 4.2, 77 and 293 K. B…
Experimental data obtained by Lughi and Clarke [J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 88, 2552 (2005)] are compared to the theory describing disorder effects on optical phonons. Sharpening and vanishing of the asymmetry of the Raman lines after annealing are attributed to a decrease in short-range disorder. The parameters of disorder (…
Layer-by-layer deposition of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes readily converts polymeric ultrafiltration membranes into materials capable of nanofiltration. ATR-FTIR spectra confirm that layer-by-layer deposition occurs on the ultrafiltration substrates, and adsorption of as few as 2.5 bilayers of poly(styrenesul…
The sorption of hydrogen between the layers of the multilayered wall of nanotubular TiO2 was studied in the temperature range of -195 to 200 degrees C and at pressures of 0 to 6 bar. Hydrogen can intercalate between layers in the walls of TiO2 nanotubes forming host-guest compounds TiO2 x xH2, where x < or = 1.5 and d…
We explore filler reinforcement (i.e., increase of elastic modulus G ‘ due to incorporation of fillers) and Payne effect (i.e., decrease of G ‘ at large strain amplitudes) in terms of the matrix molecular weight, filler loading, and time scales used to probe the viscoelasticity of filled melts. Use of monodisperse non…
A versatile, metal-free, organocatalytic approach to the living ring-opening polymerization of lactide using a bifunctional thiourea-tertiary amine catalyst is described. Mild and highly selective polymerization conditions produced poly(lactides) with predictable molecular weights and extremely narrow polydispersities…
A simple method of synthesizing nanomaterials and the ability to control the size and position of them are crucial for fabricating nanodevices. In this work, we developed a novel ammonia aqueous solution method for growing well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays on a silicon substrate. For ZnO nanorod growth, a thin zinc meta…
Nanoparticles are small-scale substances (<100 nm) with unique properties and, thus, complex exposure and health risk implications. This symposium review summarizes recent findings in exposure and toxicity of nanoparticles and their application for assessing human health risks. Characterization of airborne particles i…
A spinnable coating capable of releasing metal species to a broth of living organisms in a controlled manner is an extremely interesting material for a number of biotechnological applications. Polymer/metal nanocomposites are a viable choice but very little is known about their biological properties. Here, a polymer b…
A correlation between the particle size and the lattice parameter has been established in nanocerium oxide particles (3–30nm). The variation in the lattice parameter is attributed to the lattice strain induced by the introduction of Ce3+ due to the formation of oxygen vacancies. Lattice strain was observed to decrease…
Raman scattering analysis revealed that the structure of carbon films prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) at room temperature is predominantly amorphous and the structure of amorphous carbon nitride ( a-CN x ) thin films can be changed with varying substrate temperatures (ST) from 20°C to 500°C. The deposited a-…
Mesoscale simulations of grain-boundary (GB) diffusion creep in which GB migration-induced static grain growth is suppressed were carried out based on the variational principle of dissipated power. Assuming that the boundaries exhibit no sliding resistance in response to shear stress, the variation of the normal-stres…
Zinc oxide thin nanostructured film and single crystal were studied by photoluminescence (PL) and optical second harmonic generation (SHG). The single crystal reveals a strong blue excitonic luminescence, while for thin films “yellow”-defect PL is dominant, pointing to a strong contribution from the surface of film na…
Surface modification of tridimensional cubic mesoporous silica, SBA-16, was investigated with pendant arm functionalized cobalt diaminosarcophagine (diAMsar) cage complex which covalently grafted onto the silica surface through the silication with sylanol group. The spectroscopic results showed that the mesoporous str…
A continuum model is employed in the stability analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in the application in atomic force microscope (AFM) probes. Current experimental results have observed instability of CNT in the applications in AFM probes. However, a complete study and understanding of the instability of CNT has not ye…
Metallic multilayers can be used as ultra-high strength coatings. They exhibit a very strong Hall–Petch-like size-effect where the mechanical strength depends on the layer thickness. This trend suggests that dislocation pileup theory can be used to predict the strength of multilayers from fundamental and microscopic m…
