Western blotting is one of the most commonly used laboratory techniques for identifying proteins and semi-quantifying protein amounts; however, several recent findings suggest that western blots may not be as reliable as previously assumed. This is not surprising since many labs are unaware of the limitations of weste…
A novel dual-activatable fluorescence/MRI bimodal platform is designed for tumor cell imaging by using a redoxable manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheet-aptamer nanoprobe. The redoxable MnO2 nanosheet acts as a DNA nanocarrier, fluorescence quencher, and intracellular glutathione (GSH)-activated MRI contrast agent. In th…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely applied in various fields due to excellent physical and chemical properties. As production and applications of nanotubes expand, public concern about their potential risks to human health has also risen. In the present study, the effects of CNTs on rat liver and brain by single…
Polycarbonate/polystyrene bilayer films prepared by solvent-casting method were irradiated with 55 MeV carbon ion beam at different fluences ranging from 1×1011 to 1×1013 ions cm−2. The structural, optical, surface morphology and dielectric properties of these films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis…
Within a wide project aiming at the production of fully bioabsorbable endovascular stents, cylindrical preforms of the AZ91 Mg alloy produced by SPS were submitted to hot extrusion tests. It has been found that hot extrusion produced a consolidation of the material accompanied by the occurrence of dynamic recrystallis…
Advances in rocket propulsion technology have historically relied on a healthy interaction among members of the university, industry, and government communities. The National Institute of Rocket Propulsion Systems commissioned a series of three Academic Workshops from 2011 to 2014 to gather information about the curre…
Silk fabrics emerge in a wide spectrum of popular products like silk satin, silk crepe de chine, silk georgette, silk chiffon, silk taffeta, silk scarves etc. Silk being a natural and delicate fibre demands certain caring treatments during its use in textiles, apparels in particular. Silk apparels and textiles, like t…
Soft x-ray spectroscopy of celestial sources with high resolving power R = E/ΔE and large collecting area addresses important science listed in the Astro2010 Decadal Survey New Worlds New Horizons, such as the growth of the large scale structure of the universe and its interaction with active galactic nuclei, the kine…
Abstract We investigate the luminescence properties of Ce3+ ions in Ce‐doped SiO1.5 thin films containing Si nanocrystals (Si‐ncs) by means of steady‐state photoluminescence (PL), time‐resolved PL and PL excitation spectroscopy. Strong Ce‐related blue luminescence is observed with the naked eye at room temperature. Th…
The undesirable properties of natural rubber (NR) can be improved via hydrogenation and graft copolymerization. Hydrogenated NR (HNR) latex was prepared via diimide reduction and then grafted with styrene (ST) or ST/methyl methacrylate (MMA) to form poly(ST)‐ graft ‐HNR (poly(ST)‐ g ‐HNR, GHNRS) or poly(ST‐ co ‐MMA)‐…
An exo-templating synthesis process using polymeric fibers and inorganic sol particles deposited onto structured one-dimensional objects is presented. In particular, CeO2/ZrO2@SiO2 composite tubes were synthesized in a two-step procedure by using electrospun polystyrene fibers as fiber template. First, a sol-gel appro…
Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared from plastisols. The concentrations of plasticizer and montmorillonite were varied. The composites were characterized by both X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, which indicated that intercalated nanocomposites were prepared, b…
Model carbon nanoparticles representative of the graphite-like and amorphous domains of active carbon are investigated with density functional theory (DFT) and complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) methods. Cyclic carbon clusters containing conjugated carbene groups are found to undergo Jahn-Teller dist…
Over the past several years, there has been a remarkable growth and development in new ceramic and/or composite materials to be used in the electro-electronic industry. Ferroelectric materials have been recognized for their multifunctional physical properties; also, their optical properties are a subject of intense re…
Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with average sizes of 14, 9 and 6 nm were synthesised by the chemical co-precipitation technique. Average particle sizes were varied by changing the chitosan surfactant to precursor molar ratio in the reaction mixture. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed a faceted and irregula…
The structure and IR vibrational spectra of tetrahydroborate sodalite (Na8[AlSiO4]6(BH4)2) were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) methods. The calculations, performed at the GGA hybrid DFT level yield a close agreement with XRD refinements of the structure and allow interpretation of observed bands of t…
In this study, microstructure and gel content (C-C) of polybutadiene rubber (PBR) were investigated using various techniques including ASTM D 3616, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).…
Structure-interaction-mechanical property correlation in bionanocomposite thin films is an area of growing interest for research and application areas from barrier to molecular transport to UV blocking layers for polymer solar cells to dielectric properties modification. Here we study flow coated ultrathin to thin fil…
In this work, (acrylonitrile‐styrene‐acrylic)/(α‐methylstyrene‐acrylonitrile) copolymer (ASA/α‐MSAN) binary alloy was prepared with different composition ratios via melt blending. This work mainly focused on improving the heat resistance of ASA. According to the results of dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, the bina…
High transparency and low resistivity aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were prepared by atomic layer deposition. The AZO films show a transparency of about 80% in the near-infrared (NIR) region and a resistivity of the order of 10−3 Ω cm. Organic small molecule NIR-photodetectors (NIR-PDs) with AZO as the anode h…
