OBJECTIVE: Metallic implantation materials having high yield strength, low elastic modulus, and non-cytotoxic alloying elements would be advantageous for the long-term stability of implants. This study assessed the surface and mechanical properties, and also in vitro osteoconductivity of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti-13N…
A series of quantum dot (QD) ligands are reported that can make strong polyelectrolyte QD surfaces with sulfonates or quaternary ammoniums, which can endow QDs with excellent colloidal stability independent of the pH and ionic strength, minimal hydrodynamic size, and can be exploited to achieve stable and flexible bio…
Abstract Hydrogen ingress into zirconium alloy fuel cladding in light water reactors can degrade cladding performance as a result of the formation of brittle hydrides. In service, hydrides normally precipitate in the circumferential direction and are homogeneously distributed through the cladding thickness in ideal ca…
We experimentally observed a new topological symmetry in optical composites, namely, metamaterials. While it is not found yet in nature materials, the electromagnetic Möbius symmetry discovered in metamaterials is equivalent to the structural symmetry of a Möbius strip, with the number of twists controlled by the sign…
The uptake of chloride ( Cl − ) by the passive oxide film on 316L austenitic stainless steel polarized at potentials below (less positive than) the pitting potential in 0.6 M NaCl solutions was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and compared to our previous work on aluminum. The XPS spectra for the s…
Abstract The hydroformylation reaction is an important class of reaction as it enhances the carbon chain length of an olefin molecule. Rh I complexes are conventionally used as the catalyst for this reaction although they possess severe drawbacks with respect to separation and recycling. A phenyl‐functionalised 2D‐hex…
Abstract Composites of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and molybdenum sulfur iodine (MoSI) nanowires were prepared using twin‐screw extrusion. Extensive microscopic examination of the composites revealed the nanowires were well dispersed in the PCL matrix, although bundles of Mo 6 S 3 I 6 ropes were evident at higher loadi…
Soft X-Ray Spectroscopic Study of Dense Strontium-Doped Lanthanum Manganite Cathodes for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Applications, Piper, L. F.J., Preston, A. R.H., Cho, S.-W., DeMasi, A., Chen, B., Laverock, J., Smith, K. E., Miara, L. J., Davis, J. N., Basu, S. N., Pal, U., Gopalan, S., Saraf, Laxmikant, Kaspar, Tiffany,…
Abstract The synthesis and characterization of the ligand triplesalophen is presented. This ligand is the all sp 2 ‐hybridized analogue of the ligand triplesalen, which was designed for the synthesis of single‐molecule magnets with a supramolecular building block approach. The triplesalophen ligand allows the isolatio…
Following an earlier study ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 4470) describing a very unusual growth kinetics of ZnO nanoparticles, we critically evaluate here the proposed mechanism involving a crucial role of the alkali base ion in controlling the growth of ZnO nanoparticles using other alkali bases, namely, LiOH and KO…
The integrated forest biorefinery (IFBR) concept provides a promising opportunity for the development of the pulp and paper industry. One proposed next generation technology for an integrated forest biorefinery is the extraction of hemicelluloses, allowing the co-production of pulp and different hemicellulose-based ch…
Size-controlled formation of colloidal aggregates composed of cube-shaped EuS nanocrystals, EuS NCs, in solution phase are reported and their optical and magneto-optical properties are studied. The average size of the colloidal particles of the EuS NCs-aggregates formed in 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-octanol were ca.…
Abstract BaTh(PO 4 ) 2 has been synthesized by a wet chemistry route and the new isotype BaNp(PO 4 ) 2 by solid‐state reaction. Although the former has been the subject of several studies since the early 1980s, the crystal structures of both compounds are reported here for the first time. Rietveld analysis shows Ba la…
Chemical vapor deposition methodologies are widely employed in a variety of fields such as microelectronics and glazing. Control of film growth and microstructure, and hence film properties, may be limited by precursor properties such as volatility or decomposition chemistry. In this paper we report how the incorporat…
Abstract The functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (f‐MWCNTs) were obtained by Friedel–Crafts acylation, which introduced aromatic amine groups onto the sidewall. And the grafted yield was adjusted by controlling the concentration of the catalyst. The composite solutions containing f‐MWCNTs and polyacrylonitril…
The homogeneous partly pinned fluid systems are simple models of a fluid confined in a disordered porous matrix obtained by arresting randomly chosen particles in a one-component bulk fluid or one of the two components of a binary mixture. In this paper, their configurational properties are investigated. It is shown t…
Reserpine treatment is a putative animal model of orofacial dyskinesia, tremor, and Parkinsonism. Here, we examined the effects of resveratrol, a polyphenol with neuroprotective properties primarily contained in red grapes and red wine, in an animal model of vacuous chewing movements (VCMs) induced by treatment with r…
Recently, bio-inspired shape memory alloy composite (BISMAC) actuators have been shown to mimic the deformation characteristics of natural jellyfish medusa. In this study, a constant cross-section BISMAC actuator was characterized in terms of bending deflection and force in conjunction with microscopy to understand it…
In this article, a new scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image composition technique is described, which can significantly reduce drift related image corruptions. Drift distortion commonly causes blur and distortions in the SEM images. Such corruption ordinarily appears when conventional image-acquisition methods, i.…
We apply the density functional theory + U (DFT+U) and unrestricted hybrid functional DFT-UB3LYP methods to study the electronic structure and magnetic properties of two prototypical iron porphines: iron(III) porphine chloride (FePCl) and difluoro iron(III-IV) porphine. Plain DFT within the generalized gradient approx…
