By means of a plasma technique, the surfaces of monodisperse polystyrene (PS) colloids have been modified with hydroxyl groups. Using these surface-modified PS colloids as sacrificial templates, we have fabricated silica-coated PS colloids (PS@silica) and titania-coated PS colloids (PS@titania) composite microspheres…

In this research wood-plastic composite (WPC) panels were produced from high density polyethylene, MDF, and particle-board waste at 60, 70, and 80 wt% fiber loadings using the dry blend/hot press method. Physical and mechanical properties of the panels were studied and compared with conventional MDF and particle-board…

Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) with various drug carrier systems has recently emerged as a novel chemotherapeutic method to overcome the problems of current chemotherapies against brain tumors. Polymeric micelle systems have exhibited dramatically higher in vivo antitumor activity in systemic administration. This…

This paper presents an aqueous route to size-controlled and doped CeO 2 nanoparticles using the Ce-oleate complex as a chemically modified precursor. In this synthesis, a hydrolytic condensation of Ce-oleate complex by aqueous ammonia solution at room temperature leads to 2.2 nm sized CeO 2 nanocrystals. These product…

An intracellular mannanase was identified from the thermoacidophile Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius Tc-12-31. This enzyme is particularly interesting, because it shows no significant sequence similarity to any known glycoside hydrolase. Gene cloning, biochemical characterization, and structural studies of this novel m…

Nanosilica was used to reinforce the selective laser sintering (SLS) parts of nylon-12. A dissolution—precipitation process was successfully developed to prepare a nanosilica/nylon-12 composite powder (containing 3 wt% nanosilica) for SLS process. The dispersion of nanosilica in the SLS specimens of the composite powd…

We have explored a new strategy to discover materials with large resistive or capacitive responses to magnetic fields by synthesizing EuMO2N (M = Nb, Ta) perovskites that combine ferromagnetic order of S = 7/2 Eu2+ spins with possible off-center distortions of the d0 M5+ cations enhanced by covalent bonding to N. EuNb…

Muon spin rotation experiments were performed on the pnictide high temperature superconductor ${\mathrm{SmFeAsO}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{F}}_{x}$ with $x=0.18$ and 0.3. We observed an unusual enhancement of slow spin fluctuations in the vicinity of the superconducting transition which suggests that the spin fluctu…

We report inelastic and elastic neutron scattering, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements of polycrystalline sodium ruthenate (Na$_3$RuO$_4$). Previous work suggests this material consists of isolated tetramers of $S=3/2$ Ru$^{5+}$ ions in a so-called "lozenge" configuration. Using a Heisenberg antif…
