The present study investigated the impact of nano titanium dioxide (nTiO(2) ) exposure on the cellular structures of the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria Anabaena variabilis. Results of the present study showed that nTiO(2) exposure led to observable alteration in various intracellular structures and induced a series of…
This review analyzes what the term graphene means today, and examines graphene preparation and identification methods and its chemical properties. The applications of this novel carbon nanomaterial are briefly discussed.
The relationship between the molecular aggregation structures and the optical properties of fully aromatic and semialiphatic polyimide (PI) films were analyzed by synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), infrared absorption, and UV/visible absorption spectroscopy at very high pressures up to 8 GPa. The PIs sho…
Chiral porphyrin J-aggregates are confined into microemulsions, achieving a fine control of their size and optical properties. The quality of the circular dichroism signal exhibits a remarkable scaling on the dimension from the nano- up to mesoscopic regime.
Large-scale and highly oriented single-crystalline hexagonal Cu(2)O nanotube arrays have been successfully synthesized using a two-step solution approach, which involves the electrodeposition of oriented Cu(2)O nanorods and a subsequent dissolution technique along the c axis to form a tubular structure. Herein, NH(4)C…
Selective aggregation and precipitation of like-charged nanoparticles (NPs) covered with carboxylate ligands can be induced by different monovalent cations. The ordering of critical concentrations required for NP precipitation is Cs(+) ≫ K(+) > Li(+) > Na(+) > Rb(+) and does not correlate with the size of hydrated cat…
Composite materials are known to have a poor resistance to through-the-thickness impact loading. There are various methods for improving their impact damage tolerance, such as fiber toughening, matrix toughening, interface toughening, through-the-thickness reinforcements, and selective interlayers and hybrids. Hybrid…
Abstract Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was thermally cured using methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) curing agent in the presence of 2‐ethyl‐4‐methylimidazole (EMI) catalyst. The curing characteristics of ESO/MHHPA/EMI systems were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a dynamic mech…
We have succeeded in the simple and rapid synthesis of the hydrophilic polymer-modified CeO2 nanoparticles using a supercritical hydrothermal method. To prepare the nanoparticles, Ce(OH)4 as precursor was treated in a batch-type reactor with supercritical water in the presence of either polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or poly…
Nützliche Ordnung: Zweidimensionale kovalente organische Gerüste aus einem Nickelphthalocyanin bieten wegen der hochgeordneten Stapelung der Phthalocyanineinheiten eine verstärkte Lichtabsorption und erleichtern den Ladungstransport. Das Material wird hoch photoleitend und spricht äußerst empfindlich auf tiefrote sich…
We present a study on the effects of cross-linking on the adhesive properties of bio-inspired 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). DOPA has a unique catechol moiety found in adhesive proteins in marine organisms, such as mussels and polychaete, which results in strong adhesion in aquatic conditions. Incorporation of thi…
This paper investigates the natural frequency, steady-state resonance and stability for the transverse vibrations of a nanobeam subjected to a variable initial axial force, including axial tension and axial compression, based on nonlocal elasticity theory. It is reported that the nonlocal nanoscale has significant eff…
Thermally assisted electron beam induced deposition can result in an improvement of the purity of nano-scale depositions. Six commonly used organic precursors were examined: W(CO)(6), TEOS (tetraethylorthosilicate), MeCpPtMe(3), Co(CO)(3)NO, Co(2)(CO)(8), and Me(2)Auacac. The last two precursors were also tested on tw…
Down to the wire: A simple vapor-transport process using linear diphenylalanine as the starting material has resulted in the self-assembly of cyclodipeptide nanowires with an orthorhombic symmetry. Furthermore, the single-crystalline nanowires exhibit a strong blue luminescence centered at 465 nm and possess semicondu…
In this paper we review some metasurfaces with negative values of effective refractive index, as scaffolds for a new generation of surface plasmon polariton-based biological or chemical sensors. The electromagnetic properties of a metasurface may be tuned by its full immersion into analyte, or by the adsorption of a t…
Novel nanohybrids of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) encapsulating C60 or C70 with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) have been prepared and their photophysics and photoelectrochemical properties are studied in detail for the first time. Strong π–π interaction between the SWNT sidewalls and P3HT afforded successful…
Understanding the underlying properties-dependent interactions of nanostructures with biological systems is essential to nanotoxicological research. This study investigates the relationship between particle size and toxicity, and further reveals the mechanism of injury, using silica particles (SP) with diameters of 30…
Superparamagnetic iron-oxide particles (SPIO) are used in different ways as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Particles with high nonspecific uptake are required for unspecific labeling of phagocytic cells whereas those that target specific molecules need to have very low unspecific cellular uptake…
Lanthanide complexes based on bis(amides) of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid with thiol functionalities are modified with 2,2'-dipyridyl disulfide to give activated complexes that can selectively react with thiol-functionalized complexes to form heterometallic lanthanide macrocycles. The preparation and full charac…
Modifications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for different applications may change their physicochemical properties such as surface charge. Assessments of the extent to which such modifications influence CNT ecotoxicity, accumulation, and elimination behaviors are needed to understand potential environmental risks these v…
