Abstract Thiodiglycol (TDG) is a relatively nontoxic compound from organic wastes. By using TDG as a plasticizer with weights from 2.5 to 40%, we prepared soy protein isolate (SPI) films by a compression‐molding technique at 140°C and 15 MPa. The TDG‐plasticized films (SPI–TDG films) were characterized by scanning ele…
Nitric oxide is an important molecule in biology and modulates a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. Some of its regulatory functions are exerted through interactions with redox-active elements, including iron, nickel, cobalt, and sulfur. Metalloenzymes containing [ nFe- nS] ( n = 2 or 4) cluste…
We studied the transport of graphene electrons through lateral magnetic barriers. The relativistic electrons experience resonant tunneling through two adjacent but opposite magnetic field regions. For a periodic structure fabricated with such magnetic barriers, the resonant tunneling peak further splits into several s…
Abstract The focus of this article of a three part series is the effects of preparation and composition on the shear rheology of cellulose in the ionic liquid 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl). Included are the effects of three different degrees of polymerization, (i.e., average molecular weight), manual…
A high quality Ca(5)(BO(3))(3)F (CBF) crystal, grown by flux method, was investigated for its non linear optical properties. This material is non hygroscopic and possesses a moderate birefringence suitable for UV light generation. On the basis of its refractive index dispersion curves, it is inferred that CBF has grea…
Synthesis and structural, magnetic and electrochemical characterization of the Ni(hfac) 2(pyDTDA) and the Fe(hfac) 2(pyDTDA) complexes are reported (hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato-; pyDTDA = 4-(2'-pyridyl)-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl). Unlike the previously reported Mn(II) and Cu(II) complexes, but similar to…
Abstract The direct utilization of ethanol was investigated in CuCeO 2 , CuZr 0.35 Ce 0.65 O 2 (ZDC) and Cu/RuZr 0.35 Ce 0.65 O 2 anodes for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The anodes were prepared by impregnation with nitrate precursors on a porous layer of yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) obtained by tape casting,…
Abstract DSC and time‐resolved WAXS and SAXS are used to study the structure development during isothermal crystallization of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) in the temperature range 180–195°C. It is shown that the crystallization rate increases with degree of supercooling in the temperature range of consideration. WAXS and…
In this contribution, we have demonstrated the ability to tune the morphologies of organic charge transfer complex (CuTCNQ) nanomaterials by controlling the shape and thickness of copper patterns on silicon (100) at mild experimental conditions. The results showed that the CuTCNQ nanorods grew on the copper patterns (…
Abstract Multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) filled polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared by a corotating intermeshing twin screw extruder. To improve the dispersion of MWCNTs, the surface of MWCNT was modified with 1,10‐diaminodecane, and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MA‐ g ‐PP) was used as a compa…
Macroporous crystalline TiO2 thin film is achieved by using an amphiphilic triblock copolymer of PEO-PS-PEO as a templating agent, coupled with a good-poor solvent pair induced phase separation process and sol−gel chemistry. The macroporus TiO2 exhibits unusual thermal structural stability up to at least 1000 °C.
Upconverted lasing in the nonlinear, two-photon absorption regime has been demonstrated, for the first time to the best of our knowledge in colloidal nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs). Upon pulse excitation at sub-bandgap photon energies the radiative recombination of excitons in close-packed CdSe/CdS/ZnS core-shell NQD…
The Microcapillary Protein Crystallization System (MPCS) embodies a new semi-automated plug-based crystallization technology which enables nanolitre-volume screening of crystallization conditions in a plasticware format that allows crystals to be easily removed for traditional cryoprotection and X-ray diffraction data…
We have successfully controlled the size and shape of isotropic and anisotropic gold nanocrystals through a one-step reaction by using amphiphilic polyethylene oxide-polystyrene oxide block copolymers as both reductant and stabilizing agents in water solution. Spherical or quasispherical nanoparticles were obtained at…
In our previous work, a hybrid shish kebab structure, with polyethylene (PE) crystal lamellae periodically decorated on the surface of an inorganic whisker (SMCW) and aligned approximately perpendicular to the long axis of the whisker, has been observed in the injection molded bar of PE/SMCW composites. To investigate…
Abstract Poly( N ‐isopropylacrylamide)‐ block ‐poly{6‐[4‐(4‐pyridyazo)phenoxy] hexylmethacrylate} (PNIPAM‐ b ‐PAzPy) was synthesized by successive reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. In a water/tetrahydrofuran (H 2 O/THF) mixture, amphiphilic PNIPAM‐ b ‐PAzPy self‐assembles into gia…
Spinning a web: The electrospinning of cyclodextrin (CD) pseudopolyrotaxane, α-CD–PEG-IC (PEG=poly(ethylene glycol), IC=inclusion complex), nanofibers using poly(ethylene oxide) as a carrier polymer matrix has been achieved (see picture) without destruction of the pseudopolyrotaxane structure. This opens up a variety…
Monomeric phthalocyanine pentylester derivatives containing Cu and Zn were synthesized via the cyclotetramerization of 4,5-dipentylphthalonitrile. Conversion of the pentylester derivatives by hydrolysis yielded the octacarboxylic acid phthalocyanine derivatives in high purity, without any contamination by oligomers. T…
Complex [Ni 5{pyCOpyC(O)(OMe)py} 2(O 2CMe) 4(N 3) 4(MeOH) 2].2MeOH.2.6H 2O ( 1.2MeOH.2.6H 2O) was synthesized by the reaction of Ni(O 2CMe) 2.4H 2O with pyCOpyCOpy and NaN 3 in refluxing MeOH. It crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/ c space group and consists of five Ni (II) atoms in a helical arrangement. Direct curren…
Theoretical investigation of the defect energy levels in band gap for ZnO is of great importance to understand the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum in experiment. However, the "band-gap" problem in the density functional calculations leads to incorrect evaluation of the defect levels inside the band gap. In this work,…
