Here we present a single-step all-aqueous approach to encapsulate biomolecules such as enzymes and proteins into stable microreactors. Key in this method is the use of spray-drying of the biomolecules of interest in combination with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and mannitol as the sacrificial template. Remarkab…
By combining microcontact printing with a nanodiamond seeding technique, a precise micrometer-sized chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond pattern have been obtained. On the basis of the guidance of basic theoretical calculations, monodisperse detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) were chosen as an "ink" material and oxidiz…
The coalescence of epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO)-diamonds from stripe-patterned diamond nucleation formed on (001) Ir/MgO has been investigated. Scanning electron microscopy showed only continuous macro steps on the coalesced ELO-diamond layers. Cross-sectional Raman mappings for the 1332 cm -1 diamond peak revea…
An α-Fe(2)O(3) nanoflake urchin-like structure is formed via the thermal oxidation of micrometre-sized iron spheres in air at temperatures of 300-400 °C. The material consists of α-Fe(2)O(3) nanoflakes grown perpendicularly to the sphere surface, a layer of a mixture of α-Fe(2)O(3) and Fe(3)O(4) as the oxidation shell…
Polypropylene matrix composites reinforced with treated coconut fibers were produced. Fibers chemically treated (alkalization-CCUV samples) or mechanically treated (ultrasonic shockwave-CMUV samples) were dried using UV radiation. The goal was to combine low cost and eco-friendly treatments to improve fiber-matrix adh…
Amphiphilic block copolyphosphates (PEP-b-PIPPs) are synthesized by two-step ROP of cyclic phosphate monomers with different pedant groups. They can spontaneously self-assemble into approximately spherical micelles ranging in size between 89 and 198 nm in water. A typical hydrophobic anti-cancer drug DOX is encapsulat…
Silicon oxycarbide porous ceramics were obtained through pyrolysis of a silicone resin filled with SiOC powders via a simple self-blowing process. The effects of exterior gas pressure on the porosity, compressive strength and microstructure of the porous ceramics were investigated. The porosity (total and open) genera…
The reactivity of the imidazoline-2-selone derivatives 1,1'-methylenebis(3-methyl-4-imidazoline-2-selone) (D1) and 1,2-ethylenebis(3-methyl-4-imidazoline-2-selone) (D2) towards the interhalogens IBr and ICl has been investigated in the solid state with the aim of synthesising "T-shaped" hypervalent chalcogen compounds…
Abstract Two new series of guanidine–pyridine ligands have been synthesised by the reaction of various chloroformamidinium chlorides with 8‐aminoquinoline or 2‐picolylamine. The ligands were treated with either zinc chloride or zinc acetate to prepare the corresponding complexes, which were tested as initiators in the…
A new method and instrumentation are described for rapid compositional analysis of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) samples. The customized optical system uses multiple fixed-wavelength lasers to excite NIR fluorescence from SWCNTs individualized in aqueous suspensions. The emission spectra are efficiently captur…
Hydrogen is the ideal fuel because it contains the most energy per gram of any chemical substance and forms water as the only byproduct of consumption. However, storage still remains a formidable challenge because of the thermodynamic and kinetic issues encountered when binding hydrogen to a carrier. In this study, we…
Abstract One conventional and two related gemini surfactants have been used for the preparation of stable single‐walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) aqueous dispersions. The surfactants investigated are able to disperse SWNTs at surfactant/carbon nanotube weight ratios far lower than widely used conventional surfactants. Th…
We investigate the electronic properties and the superconducting gap characteristics of a single crystal of hole-doped 122 Fe-pnictide Ba${}_{0.65}$Na${}_{0.35}$Fe${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ by means of specific-heat measurements. The specific heat exhibits a pronounced anomaly around the superconducting transition temperature…
Traditionally, programming of shape memory polymer (SMP) material requires initial heating above the glass transition temperature (Tg), subsequent cooling below Tg and removal of the applied load. Therefore, the shape fixity process is inconvenient for some applications. Most recently, a new and effective approach, wh…
There is experimental evidence that in solutions of low ionic strength, charged nanoparticles (NPs) adsorbing onto an oppositely charged substrate cannot form dense monolayers due to the electrostatic repulsion. Here, we investigated the adsorption onto negatively charged substrates occurring in solutions containing p…
Incorporation of mammalian cells into nanofibers (cell electrospinning) and multilayered cell-nanofiber structures (cell layering) via electrospinning are promising techniques for tissue engineering applications. We investigate the viability of 3T3-L1 mouse fibroblasts after incorporation into poly(vinyl alcohol) nano…
Nanoparticles can be formed following degradation of medical devices such as orthopedic implants. To evaluate the safety of titanium alloy orthopedic materials, data are needed on the long-term distribution and tissue effects of injected titanium nanoparticles in experimental animals. In this study, we evaluated the t…
Abstract Fluorescent molecular rotors can be used as molecular sensors for the viscosity of a microenvironment. However, these molecular rotors are limited to 9‐(dicyanovinyl)julolidine (DCVJ) and a few derivatives. Furthermore, these traditional rotors show short absorption/emission wavelengths and small Stokes shift…
The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the morphological [scanning electron microscopy (SEM)], physicochemical [differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), chemical composition analysis, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)], and bi…
Put a number on it: Absolute cross-sections for dissociative electron attachment (DEA) to the common precursor molecule cobalt tricarbonyl nitrosyl in the gas phase are reported (see scheme, Co dark blue, O red, C gray, N light blue) along with the branching ratios for the negative ions and the electron affinities for…
