Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the design and study of nanomaterials geared towards biological and biomedical applications, most notable among these being the noble metal nanoparticles. In this review, we outline the surface-plasmon resonance-enhanced optical properties of colloidal gold nanoparticles d…

By connecting two dissimilar anharmonic lattices exemplified by Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) model and Frenkel-kontorova (FK) model, we successfully build up one dimensional thermal diode. We find the rectifying effect is closely related to asymmetric interface thermal resistance (Kapitza resistance). And the asymmetric the…
The current status of the chemistry of metallasiloxanes is surveyed. Synthetic methods affording the metallasiloxane fragments and specific transformations of metallasiloxanes governed by the coordination properties of the metal site are analysed. The emphasis is placed onto the formation of compounds with the metalla…
We demonstrated the cancellation of the external magnetic field by the nuclear field at one edge of the nuclear polarization bistability in single InAlAs quantum dots. The cancellation for the electron Zeeman splitting gives the precise value of the hole g-factor. By combining with the exciton g-factor that is obtaine…
In this paper, we study several structural models of amorphous silicon, and discuss structural and electronic features common to all. We note spatial correlations between short bonds, and similar correlations between long bonds. Such effects persist under a first principles relaxation of the system and at finite tempe…
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures were synthesized by a simple sonochemical method without the assistance of an additional surfactant. The morphologies can simply be controlled only by changing the addition sequence of NH 3 ·H 2 O. When NH 3 ·H 2 O was added before or at the beginning of the ultrasonic treatment, a flow…
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effectiveness of commercial clothes dryers based on energy‐efficiency and environmental impact analyses. Design/methodology/approach The study consisted of reviewing and examining the energy consumption of clothes dryers. It adopted the US Department of Energy's…
In tissue engineering applications the physical properties and degradation behavior of the designed synthetic scaffold are crucial for successful growth and function of desired tissue. Combining two or more biodegradable polymers into a single biomaterial composite may provide a pathway toward achieving new and highly…
Solid-phase synthetic templates for Au nanoparticles were developed using Merrifield resins and polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers. This synthetic scheme affords the opportunity to prepare metal nanoparticles in the absence of air and water, and it does not necessitate phase transfer agents that can be difficult to rem…
Nanorods of magnesium oxychloride (Mg x (OH) y Cl z · n H 2 O) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) have been produced from crystalline MgO. Concentrated aqueous magnesium chloride (MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O), when allowed to react with MgO, yields oxychloride nanorods that can be converted into Mg(OH) 2 nanorods using NaOH, with…
A series of N -alkyl-substituted bis(pyrrolo[3,4- d ])tetrathiafulvalenes (PyTTFs, alkyl = n -butyl, n -octyl, n -dodecyl, n -cetyl, and n -icosyl, 3 − 7 ) were synthesized as highly soluble tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives. Their solid-state structures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, and their suitabilit…
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate an alternative approach that can predict non‐linear relations. Design/methodology/approach An engineered approach to fabric development is described in which a radial basis function network is trained with worsted fabric constructional parameters to predict functiona…
Using (51)V magic angle spinning solid-state NMR, SSNMR, spectroscopy and quantum chemical DFT calculations we have characterized the chemical shift and quadrupolar coupling parameters of a series of eight hydroxylamido vanadium(V) dipicolinate complexes of the general formula VO(dipic)(ONR1R2)(H2O) where R1 and R2 ca…
We report a molecular simulation study on the assembly of an (A7B5)5/A7B5 copolymer blend on nanopatterned surfaces. The density distributions, anisotropic radii of gyration, and conformations of both copolymers are quantitatively characterized. As the width of stripes on the surface decreases, the shape and thickness…
Ytterbium silicate (Yb 2 SiO 5 ) is a promising environmental barrier coating material for SiC‐based ceramic matrix composites. Yb 2 SiO 5 powders were prepared by the sol–gel process using tetraethyl orthosilicate and ytterbium nitrate as starting materials. The Yb 2 SiO 5 gel was characterized by Fourier transform i…
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) to predict the sewing performance of fabrics. The purpose of this study is to verify the ANN techniques that could be emulated as human decision in the prediction of sewing performance of fabrics. Design/methodology/approach In order to…
A versatile platform to obtain highly functional macroporous materials was developed. A polymerizable initiator for atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been incorporated into a high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) without compromising the emulsion stability. Photopolymerization of this formulation led to po…
We describe the first determination of thiol compounds with gold nanocomposites composed of gold nanoparticles and thermoresponsive copolymers having polyamino groups. The gold nanocomposites, which are used as a chromatic sensor, reveal chromatic change from blue to red with thermal stimuli, heating followed by cooli…
The bactericidal process of Ag/Al2O3 to Escherichia coli has been investigated to clarify the bactericidal mechanism. In SEM images, the configuration of E. coli cells contacting with the catalyst surface was quite different from that contacting with AgNO3 solution, which indicated that the Ag+ eluted from the catalys…
