We report here the selective formation of nanosized cavities on barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) nanocubes through a simple acid etching route in hydrothermal environment. Microstructural analysis reveals that the etching process is size dependent with small cavity preferentially formed on the nanocubes greater than a chara…
We present a detailed investigation into the origin of photoluminescence (PL) from silicon quantum dots in hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride annealed in oxygen ambient. On the basis of structural characterization, temperature-dependent PL, time-resolved PL, and PL excitation spectra, we identify that the luminesc…
Abstract The thermal oxidation at 130°C of polyoxymethylene homopolymer (H) and copolymer (C) samples of close initial molar masses has been studied by gravimetry, rheometry, X ray scattering, and tensile testing. Both samples undergo random chain scission and depolymerization. Their crystallinity ratio increases, whe…
Abstract Commercial sunflower oil was epoxidized, and epoxidized sunflower oil (ESO) was used as a thermal stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Semirigid and plasticized formulations stabilized with ESO were realized. Three plasticizers were used: dioctyle phthalate (DOP), diisodecycle phthalate (DIDP), and diison…
Electronic localization is numerically studied in disordered bilayer graphene with an electric-field-induced energy gap. Bilayer graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, in which an energy gap can be opened and controlled by an external electric field perpendicular to the layer plane. We found that, in the smooth disorde…
Abstract Sm‐doped ZnWO 4 powders and films have been prepared with wet chemical methods. XRD analysis indicated that single‐phase Sm‐doped ZnWO 4 were formed above a calcining temperature of 400 °C, and the particle size and intensity of XRD peak of the powders were varied with calcining schedules. SEM micrographs ind…
This study provides kinetic and isotopic evidence for the identity and kinetic relevance of elementary steps in CH 3 OH−H 2 O reactions on monofunctional Cu-based catalysts. H 2, CO 2, and CO were the only products formed in these reactions, which proceed via kinetically relevant C−H bond activation in chemisorbed met…
Magnetic and dielectric correlation in triangular mixed valence iron oxide RFe2O4 is discussed. The frustrated interaction for antiferromagnetic spins as well as charges realizes the auto-organized superlattice cell of iron ions. The characteristic charge and spin superlattice cell drives the magnetoelectric cross-cor…
Abstract Magnetoelectric polymer nanocomposite structures are synthesized using conducting polyaniline and nanosized BFO particles through in situ sol–gel polymerization. The effect of nanosized BFO in polyaniline matrix is studied. The SEM, XRD, VSM, FTIR, and UV–Vis studies were made to understand the morphology, cr…
Pure poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films, PDMS-nanodiamond (ND) and pure nanodiamond powder were irradiated with 2 MeV protons under a variety of fluence and current conditions. Upon proton irradiation, these samples acquire a fluence-dependent photoluminescence (PL). The emission and excitation spectra, photostabilit…
Achieving clay dispersion and improving clay−polymer interactions are keys to producing superior nanocomposites. A supercritical CO 2 (scCO 2 ) processing method was utilized to prepare high molecular weight polystyrene (PS)/Cloisite 10A nanocomposites with significant dispersion and rheological enhancement. The effec…
Abstract Short length vapor‐grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNFs) were functionalized with 4‐aminobenzoic acid in polyphosphoric acid/phosphorous phentoxide medium via “direct” Friedel‐Crafts acylation reaction to afford aminobenzoyl‐functionalized VGCNFs (AF‐VGCNFs). The AF‐VGCNFs as a cocuring agent were mixed with epoxy…
The clinical severity of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), also known as the brittle bone disease, relates to the extent of conformational changes in the collagen triple helix induced by Gly substitution mutations. The lingering question is why Gly substitutions at different locations of collagen cause different disruptio…
Four neutral zirconocene bis(ester enolate) and non-zirconocene bis(alkoxy) complexes have been employed for ring-opening polymerizations and chain transfer polymerizations of l -lactide ( l -LA) and ϵ-caprolactone (ϵ-CL). All C 2 v -, C 2 -, and C s -ligated neutral zirconocene bis(ester enolate) complexes effectivel…
We present a fabrication method producing large and flat graphene flakes that have a few layers down to a single layer based on substrate bonding of a thick sample of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), followed by its controlled exfoliation down to the few to single graphene atomic layers. As the graphite unde…
Despite many experimental studies on cooperative effects during protein adsorption events, this phenomenon is still poorly characterized and subject of much controversy. In this study, we address the topic of cooperativity using two distinct experimental approaches, namely, kinetic analysis and surface imaging, both b…
Abstract Antiepidermal growth factor receptor antibody (anti‐EGFR antibody) was conjugated with the block copolymer micelle based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) for active targeting to EGFR overexpressing cancer cells. Doxorubicin (DOX) was encapsulated in the core of the block copolymer…
This paper is a brief review of the status of 'phase separation' ideas in manganites and cuprates, mainly focused on the recent efforts by the authors. It is argued that in the last year considerable progress has been made in the understanding of manganites, since the famous colossal magnetoresistance peak in the resi…
Abstract Three generation of Boc‐protected dendritic‐conjugated polyfluorenes (Boc‐PFP‐G0‐2) were synthesized by Suzuki coupling 1,4‐phenyldiboronic ester with dendritic monomers that were synthesized through generation‐by‐generation approach. The gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analyses showed that the weight‐ave…
Anisotropic gold nanostructures with “confeito-like shapes” have been synthesized by a solution phase galvanic reaction. The nanostructures are uniform in shape and size (∼300 nm). These nanostructures possess smaller sized protuberances (diameter ∼ 30 nm, length ∼ 40 nm) in large numbers, which are protruding from th…
