Gelatin is one of the most commonly used biopolymer for creating cellular scaffolds due to its innocuous nature. To create stable gelatin scaffolds at physiological temperature (37 degrees C), chemical cross-linking is a necessary step. In a previous paper (Biomacromolecules 2006, 7, 3059-3068), cross-linking was carr…
Additives to polymeric materials can lead to appreciable changes in the rates of relaxation and reaction in these mixtures that can profoundly alter material properties and function. We develop a general theoretical framework for quantifying changes in the "high-frequency" relaxation dynamics of mixtures based on clas…
Linear polymers of PARACEST agents were prepared by using classical free radical chain polymerization conditions. The Eu3+-polymers exhibited similar intermediate-to-slow water exchange and CEST characteristics as the Eu3+-monomers. This provided an avenue to lower the detection limit of these imaging agents substanti…
Despite the growing interest in diatom genomics, detailed time series of gene expression in relation to key cellular processes are still lacking. Here, we investigated the relationships between the cell cycle and chloroplast development in the pennate diatom Seminavis robusta. This diatom possesses two chloroplasts wi…
Two photoremovable protecting groups, namely, nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (NVo) and diethylamino-coumarin-4-yl (DEACM), have been tested for wavelength-selective, independent removal. The chromophores were attached to the amine group of aminopropyltriethoxysilane and used for the modification of silica surfaces. A photol…
We have developed a simple and scalable bottom-up approach for fabricating moth-eye antireflective coatings on GaAs substrates. Monolayer, non-close-packed silica colloidal crystals are created on crystalline GaAs wafers by a spin-coating-based single-layer reduction technique. These colloidal monolayers can be used a…
Poly(lactide)-block-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(lactide) (PLA-PEO-PLA) triblock copolymers are known to form physical hydrogels in water as a result of the polymer's amphiphilicity. Their mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and biodegradability have made them attractive for use as soft tissue scaffolds. Howev…
Microwave-, photo- and thermo-responsive polymer microgels that range in size from 500 to 800 microm and are swollen with water were prepared by a novel microarray technique. We used a liquid-liquid dispersion technique in a system of three immiscible liquids to prepare hybrid PNIPAm- co-AM core-shell capsules loaded…
The colloidal phase behavior, structure factors, short-time collective diffusion coefficients, and hydrodynamic interactions of concentrated poly(N-isopropylacryamide) (PNiPAM) microgels in dimethylformamide suspensions were measured with simultaneous static and dynamic three-dimensional cross-correlated light scatter…
Bismuth-doped fiber lasers operating in the range 1300-1470 nm have been demonstrated for the first time, to our knowledge. It has been shown that Bi-doped alumina-free phosphogermanosilicate fibers reveal optical gain in a wavelength range of 1240-1485 nm with pumping at 1205, 1230, or 808 nm.
The structural, electrical, and optical properties of zinc oxide nanowire arrays electrodeposited from the reduction of molecular oxygen in aqueous solutions containing zinc chloride and potassium chloride are studied as a function of the potassium chloride concentration. The concentration is varied in a wide range (f…
In this paper, we present a facile and general synthetic route to high-quality alkaline earth metal fluoride (AEF2, AE = Ca, Sr, Ba) nanocrystals and CaF2:Tb(3+) nanocrystals based on the thermal decomposition of corresponding trifluoroacetate precursors in hot oleylamine. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron micr…
The synthesis of pure nanostrip orthorhombic V 2 O 5 was carried out by a simple two-step procedure, with the formation of a vanadyl ethylene glycolate precursor and postcalcination treatment. The precursor and the final product were characterized for its phase and composition by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spe…
Abstract Polylactide (PLA)‐recycled wood fiber (RWF) composites with a small amount of silane were compounded using a kinetic‐mixer and molded using an injection molding machine. The molded PLA‐RWF composites were characterized using gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscope, X‐ray diffraction, diffe…
We report on sexithiophene films, about 150nm thick, grown by thermal evaporation on single crystal oxides and, as comparison, on Si/SiO2. By heating the entire deposition chamber at 100 C we obtain standing-up oriented molecules all over the bulk thickness. Surface morphology shows step-like islands, each step being…
Liquid-liquid phase transfer has been used to synthesize platinum nanocrystals with a cubic morphology. By finely tuning the parameters controlling the nucleation and growth processes, nanometric truncated cubes or perfect cubes may be obtained. To our knowledge, this is the first time such shapes are obtained with th…
We report a facile and environmentally friendly method of preparing highly branched silver nanostructures. By reducing AgNO 3 with l-ascorbic acid in an aqueous solution, silver particles having a coral-like morphology were formed in a few minutes. A mechanistic study of the growth process revealed that the silver bra…
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe a preliminary investigation into the heat treatment of Ti‐6Al‐7Nb components that had been produced via selective laser melting (SLM). Design/methodology/approach Bars of Ti‐6Al‐7Nb were produced using SLM by MCP‐HEK Tooling GmbH in Lubeck, Germany. These bars were then…
Cylinder-shaped perfect lens deduced from the coordinate transformation method is proposed. The previously reported perfect slab lens is noticed to be a limiting form of the cylindrical lens when the inner radius approaches infinity with respect to the lens thickness. Connaturality between a cylindrical lens and a sla…
Four types of cobalt-lanthanide heterometallic compounds based on metalloligand Co(2,5-pydc)(3) (3-) (2,5-H(2)pydc=pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate acid), [Ln(2)Co(2)(2,5-pydc)(6)(H(2)O)(4)](n) 2n H(2)O (1) (Ln=Tb, Dy for 1 a, 1 b respectively), [Tb(2)Co(2)(2,5-pydc)(6)(H(2)O)(4)](n)3n H(2)O (2), [Tb(2)Co(2)(2,5-pydc)(6)(H(…
