Direct deposition of graphene layers on the flexible glass fiber surface to form the three-dimensional (3D) core-shell structures is offered using a two-heating reactor chemical vapor deposition system. The two-heating reactor is utilized to offer sufficient, well-proportioned floating C atoms and provide a facile way…
As angiogenesis is an important target for antitumour drugs, the agents that inhibit angiogenesis may help reduce the use of chemotherapy by blocking tumour blood supply. In this study, we investigated a potent angiogenesis inhibitor, ASC, a steroidal saponin compound, which has been purified from Ophitopogin japonicu…
Nodular cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) vertical nanowire (NW) arrays with a length of more than 20 μm and diameter of ∼300 nm have been synthesized by the carbothermal reduction of thermally grown cupric oxide (CuO) NWs. The transformation initiates at a low temperature of 350 °C. Two important effects are observed: First, th…
The optical property variation induced by temperature change for PbSe quantum dot (QD)-filled hollow core fiber was investigated as a function of particle size, waveguide length, and doping concentration. The temperature coefficients of emission peak and intensity in QD-filled fiber were obviously size-dependent. The…
The hierarchical structure of spider dragline silk is composed of two major constituents, the amorphous phase and crystalline units, and its mechanical response has been attributed to these prime constituents. Silk mechanics, however, might also be influenced by the resistance against sliding of these two phases relat…
High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy in conjunction with image simulation is an important tool to determine the structure of nanomaterials. We show that molecular dynamics calculations can be combined with multislice image simulations to account for the large effects of surface-enhan…
We report on methodologies for use in the design of a biodegradable Mg alloy appropriate for load-bearing but temporary orthopedic implant applications. Comparative studies of Mg-5Ca and Mg-5Ca-1Zn were conducted to explore the effects of a combination of minor alloying and hot extrusion, on the alloy's mechanical pro…
In molecular electronics, the conductance strongly depends on the frontier energy levels and spatial orientations of molecules. Utilizing these features, we investigate the electron transport characteristics of conjugated molecules attached on an armchair graphene nanoribbon. The resulting sharp reduction in the trans…
We present a facile methodology for the end-to-end assembly of gold nanorods of various aspect ratios on corrugated, horizontal, cylinder-forming diblock copolymer templates. Although the depth of corrugation is significantly smaller than the diameter of the nanorods, they exhibit excellent selectivity (>98%) and alig…
Self-healing in orthopedic bone cement is demonstrated with a novel thermoplastic solvent-bonding approach. Low toxicity solvent-filled microcapsules, embedded in a commercial acrylic bone cement matrix, enable recovery of up to 80% of the virgin fracture toughness of the cement at room and body temperature conditions…
Title on author’s file: Meta micro wind mill structure used as absorber layer to detect ketamine and amphetamine type stimulants in terahertz domain
Lanthanide complexes exhibit interesting spectroscopic properties yielding many applications as imaging probes, natural chirality amplifiers, and therapeutic agents. However, many properties are not fully understood yet. Therefore, we applied magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy, which provides enhanced info…
Two kinds of new phosphorus-containing crosslinked polymer materials were prepared via thiol-ene photopolymerization and their properties were studied. In order to prepare these crosslinked polymer materials, multifunctional monomer tris(allyloxymethyl)phosphine oxide (TAOPO) was synthesized from an eco-friendly raw m…
Biorefinery aims at designing new virtuous and high-efficiency energy chains, achieving the combined production of biofuels (e.g., bioethanol) and biobased products. This emerging philosophy can represent an important opportunity for the industrial world, exploiting a new kind of nano-smart biomaterials in their produ…
We present a tunnel spectroscopy study of the electronic spectrum of single magnetite ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$ nanoparticles trapped between nanometer-spaced electrodes. The Verwey transition is clearly identified in the current-voltage characteristics where we find that the transition temperature is electr…
Synthesis, coating, and morphogenesis of conductive polymers were achieved on a variety of substrates through spontaneous generation of activated monomer vapors under ambient pressure and low temperature conditions. The present approach facilitates the generation of complex hierarchical morphologies and the conductive…
OBJECTIVES: Amongst the fourth generation of PHAs is bio-plasticpoly3-hydroxybutyrate4-hydroxybutyrate (P34HB); it is thus appropriate to perform novel research on its uses and applications. The main objective of this study was to determine whether electrospun P34HB fibres would accommodate viability, growth and diffe…
The objective of this study was to assess the physicochemical effects of hydrating a hydrophobic end-capped poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymer in the liquid and vapor state. PLGA RG503 polymer was incubated at 37°C in 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution and at 90% RH. Samples were withdrawn at predetermined i…
This work focused on the development of a new single bath technique to fabricate compositionally modulated Co/Cu, CoFe/Cu and Fe/Cu multilayer nanowires in nanoporous alumina templates prepared by the hard and mild anodization methods. The approach was based on ac pulse electrodeposition, employing successive cycles o…
We use confocal microscopy and time-resolved light scattering to investigate plasticity in a colloidal polycrystal, following the evolution of the network of grain boundaries as the sample is submitted to thousands of shear deformation cycles. The grain boundary motion is found to be ballistic, with a velocity distrib…
