Abstract Nanocomposites (NCs) composed of an amorphus polyamide (aPA) (Selar® PA 3426) that contains a 2:1 ratio of amide to aromatic groups, and a single alkyl tail modified organoclay (OMMT) (Nanomer® I30 TC) were prepared by melt extrusion and ulterior injection molding. Our results show minor intercalation of the…

The normal paper used in any printer is among the cheapest flexible organic materials that exist. We demonstrate that we can print on paper high-frequency circuits tunable with an applied dc voltage. This is possible with the help of an ink containing functionalized carbon nanotubes and water. After the water is evapo…

We present a numerical study of electron transport in a thin film of varying disorder strength with the distance from its surface. A simple tight-binding model is used to describe the system, in which the film is attached to two metallic electrodes and the coupling of this film to the electrodes is illustrated by the…

An oscillatory dependence of the drain current on the drain voltage is found in a nanostructure consisting of two crossing semiconductor carbon nanotubes that are suspended over a dielectric trench, which is backed by a doped silicon substrate that acts as a gate. Alternating positive and negative differential resista…

Porphyrin nanotubes (PNTs) are prepared by self-assembly using meso-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin and Fe(III) meso-Tetra (N-Methyl-4-Pyridyl) porphyrin in water as starting materials. Long tubes of about one micron diameter are formed with bunches of smaller tubes attached to it, as judged from the analysis o…

D-3-Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) from Pseudomonas fragi showed a strict stereospecificity to the d-enantiomer of 3-hydroxybutyrate (d-3-HB) as a substrate. The l-enantiomer acts as a competitive inhibitor, with a K(i) value comparable to the K(m) value for d-3-HB. We have determined the crystal structures of t…

The ability to actively control the shape of aerospace structures has spawned the use of shape memory alloy actuators. These actuators can be used for morphing or shape control by modulating their temperature, which is effectively done by applying a voltage difference across their length. Characterization of this temp…

Magnetic lithography is based on a magnetic mask installed on the back of a substrate and the magnet that is set under the mask, which induce a magnetic field toward the substrate through the pattern of the masks. Magnetic nanoparticles are immobilized on selective locations, where the mask induces a magnetic field, r…

The Wave Function Matching (WFM) technique has recently been developed for the calculation of electronic transport in quantum two-probe systems. In terms of efficiency it is comparable with the widely used Green's function approach. The WFM formalism presented so far requires the evaluation of all the propagating and…

Polymeric compounds are of great interest as corrosion inhibitors in acidic environment due to their inherent stability. Polymeric film is effectively used for the protection of metals partly owing to their capacity to act as a physical barrier between the metal surface and the corrosive environment. In this paper, a…
