BACKGROUND: The antifungal properties of chitosan and acibenzolar-S-methyl were evaluated to assess their potential for protecting grapes against Botrytis cinerea Pers.: Fr. isolated from Vitis vinifera L. The objectives were to determine the effects of these compounds on the in vitro development of B. cinerea and to…
Abstract The dispersion and stability of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) inside a polymer matrix, especially with a high CNT content, are still big challenges. Moreover, the interaction between CNTs and the polymer matrix should be strong enough to improve the mechanical properties. The efficient dispersion of CNTs is essenti…
Visible light-driven photocatalysis of Au25-modified TiO2 was investigated. It induces oxidation of phenol derivates and ferrocyanide and reduction of Ag+, Cu2+ and dissolved oxygen. Thermodynamically uphill reactions such as oxidation of phenol accompanied by reduction of Cu2+ are also driven. The photocatalysis, whi…
We studied the field dependencies of specific heat coefficient $\ensuremath{\gamma}(H)=\underset{T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0}{lim}C(T,H)/T$ and thermal conductivity coefficient $\underset{T\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0}{lim}\ensuremath{\kappa}(T,H)/T$ of the $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}s$-wave state in the mixed state.…
A phase diagram was constructed for a polystyrene-block-polyisoprene (PS-b-PI, M(W) = 32 700, f(PI) = 0.670) in thin films on Si wafer as a function of film thickness over the range of 150-2410 nm (7-107L(0) (L(0): domain spacing)). The PS-b-PI exhibits a variety of ordered phases from hexagonally perforated lamellar…
Abstract In this study, nanosized clay particles were introduced into wood fiber/plastic composites (WPCs) to improve their mechanical properties and flame retardancy, which are especially important in various automotive and construction applications. A high degree of exfoliation for nanoclay in the wood fiber/high de…
We probe the rheology of the model liquid octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) confined into molecularly thin films, using a unique surface force apparatus allowing us to explore a large range of shear rates and confinement. We thus show that OMCTS under increasing confinement exhibits the viscosity enhancement and th…
We apply the self-consistent polymer reference interaction site model (SC/PRISM) to liquid state calculations of the chain dimensions in polymer melts with added nanoparticle fillers. The nanoparticles are assumed to be smaller than the polymer radius of gyration and are attracted to the polymer so that they are misci…
Resistivity, Hall effect, magnetoresistance and dc magnetization were measured in Mn- and Zn-doped ${\text{Ba}}_{0.5}{\text{K}}_{0.5}{\text{Fe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$ samples. It is found that the Mn doping can depress the superconducting transition temperature drastically with a rate of $\ensuremath{\Delta}{T}_{c}/\tex…
We report here the preparation of a crystalline, pure hexagonal phase of ZnO as hollow 500-800 nm spheroids in the presence of organic bases, such as pyridine, using zinc acetate as the precursor salt. The spheroids exhibit unique 3D hierarchical architectures, like cocoons, and demonstrate improved superhydrophobic (…
In this paper, one simple method to control two-direction anisotropic wetting by regular micropearl arrays was demonstrated. Various micropearl arrays with large area were rapidly fabricated by a kind of improved laser interference lithography. Specially, we found that the parallel contact angle (CA) theta(2) decrease…
Understanding the mechanisms of biomineralization and the realization of biology-inspired inorganic materials formation largely depends on our ability to manipulate peptide/solid interfacial interactions. Material interfaces and biointerfaces are critical sites for bioinorganic synthesis, surface diffusion, and molecu…
Subnanometer photoluminescent gold quantum dots (GQDs) are functionalized with a peptide moiety that contains both nuclear export signal (NES) and nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences. By taking advantage of its small size and great photostability, the functionalized GQDs are used to mimic the actions of nucleu…
Abstract Reported in this study is the successful incorporation of a hydrophilic antibiotic drug, tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), into electrospun PEG–PLA nanofibrous membrane without loss of its bioactivity. Degradation behavior of the copolymer was studied in vitro . Release behavior of TCH from the electrospun me…
The characterization of partially coherent light transmission by micrometer sized valves of marine diatoms is an interesting optical challenge and, from the biological point of view, is of outmost relevance in order to understand evolution mechanisms of such organisms. In the present work, we have studied the transmis…
A collagen peptide was designed for metal-triggered, hierarchical assembly through a radial growth mechanism. To achieve radial assembly, H-(byp)(2) containing Pro-Hyp-Gly repeating sequences and two staggered bipyridine ligands within the peptide was synthesized. Triple helix formation resulted in the placement of si…
Configurational entropy is an important parameter in amorphous systems. It is involved in the thermodynamic considerations, plays an important role in the molecular mobility calculations through its appearance in the Adam-Gibbs equation and provides information on the solubility increase of an amorphous form compared…
Wurtzite ZnO has many potential applications in optoelectronic devices, and the hydrogenated ZnO exhibits excellent photoelectronic properties compared to undoped ZnO; however, the structure of H-related defects is still unclear. In this article, the effects of hydrogen-plasma treatment and subsequent annealing on the…
Ultra thin poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) modified glass coverslips (PIAPAm-CS) using electron beam irradiation exhibited a clear relationship between the polymer thickness and thermal cell adhesion/detachment behavior. The polymer thickness dependency and the characteristic of ultra thin PIPAAm layer, has been…
This Perspective describes theoretical studies aimed at understanding the structural and thermal properties of materials in which DNA is used to link gold nanoparticles, or polymers or organic molecules. Particularly in the case of gold nanoparticles, the materials derived from this structural motif have proven to be…
