Abstract The relationships between the structure and properties have been established for copolymers of propylene and 1‐hexene synthesized with an isotactic metallocene catalyst system. The most important factor affecting the structure and properties of these copolymers is the comonomer content. The thermal treatment,…

Many native proteins occasionally form partially unfolded forms (PUFs), which can be detected by hydrogen/deuterium exchange and NMR spectroscopy. Knowledge about these metastable states is required to better understand the onset of folding-related diseases. So far, not much is known about where PUFs reside within the…

Carbon nanofibers were grown on flexible polyimide substrates using an ion-beam sputtering technique. Field emission measurement showed a fairly low threshold voltage of 1.5V∕μm with a current density of 1μA∕cm2. The field enhancement factor was determined to be 4400. The emitter showed resilience when exploited as a…

Abstract Summary: A novel method for the encapsulation of biomacromolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, into polyelectrolyte microcapsules is described. Fluorescence‐labelled double‐stranded DNA and human serum albumin (HSA) are used as model substances for encapsulation in hollow microcapsules templated on h…

Under conditions of sufficiently slow flow, foams, colloids, granular matter, and various pastes have been observed to exhibit shear localization, i.e., regions of flow coexisting with regions of solidlike behavior. The details of such shear localization can vary depending on the system being studied. A number of the…

Precise determination of DNA concentration without the health risks of intercalating dyes is possible via the optical changes that arise from DNA-induced aggregation of cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes. Addition of DNA to a conjugated electrolyte containing two fluorophores results in aggregation and fluorescence…

Hydrothermally prepared nanophosphor Y2SiO5:Ce crystallizes in the P21∕c structure, rather than the B2∕b structure observed in bulk material. Relative to bulk powder, nanophosphors of particle size ∼25–100nm diameter exhibit redshifts of the photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, reduced self absorption, e…

A simple model based on the balance between mechanical bending and capillary interaction is proposed to understand the bundling of nanorods in nanocarpet effect. The cluster energy minimization reveals that the cluster size is closely related to the nanorod aspect ratio, diameter, density, Young's modulus, as well as…

Raman scattering has been used to study the influence of nitrogen, a potential acceptor in ZnO, on the lattice dynamics of ZnO. It is found that N+ implantation increased the lattice disorder and induced some vibration modes to be Raman active at 275, 504, and 644cm−1, respectively. Based on theoretical and experiment…

Abstract Summary: A novel carbonization agent was synthesized and characterized. The flame retardancy and thermal behavior of a new IFR system with and without metal chelates for LDPE were investigated by LOI, UL‐94 test, and TGA. Metal chelates can remarkably improve the flame retardant performance of intumescent sys…

Abstract Lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) of ZnO has been demonstrated in water at 90 °C. The process starts with hydrothermal epitaxial growth of ZnO(0001) on MgAl 2 O 4 (111), followed by channel stamping of photoresist to define “growth windows”. LEO films grow in zinc‐precursor solutions at pH 10.9; sodium citra…
