Theoretical calculations have predicted that extreme strains (>10%) in graphene would result in novel applications. However, up to now the highest reported strain reached ∼1.3%. Here, we demonstrate uniaxial strains >10% by pulling graphene using a tensile-MEMS. To prevent it from slipping away it was locally clamped…

Live-cell surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) endoscopy is developed by using plasmonic nanowire waveguides as endoscopic probes. It is demonstrated that the probe insertion does not stress the cell. Opposed to conventional SERS endoscopy, with excitation at the hotspot within the cell, the remote excitation me…

Latex/starch nanocrystal (SNC) nanocomposite dispersions were successfully synthesized via a one-step surfactant-free Pickering emulsion polymerization route using SNC as the sole stabilizer. The effect of the SNC content, initiator type and comonomer on the particle size, colloidal stability, and film properties were…

In contrast to short-lived neutrophils, macrophages display persistent presence in the lung of animals after pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes. While effective in the clearance of bacterial pathogens and injured host cells, the ability of macrophages to "digest" carbonaceous nanoparticles has not been documented.…

We test the applicability of a living polymerization theory to describe cooperative string-like particle rearrangement clusters (strings) observed in simulations of a coarse-grained polymer melt. The theory quantitatively describes the interrelation between the average string length L, configurational entropy Sconf, a…

The thermal expansion of a low symmetry crystal can be much more interesting than the lattice parameter expansion would suggest. Here, the complete thermal expansion tensors for monoclinic and tetragonal phases of ZrO 2 and HfO 2 have been measured in air, by high‐resolution, high‐temperature X ‐ray diffraction. These…
