Among the distinctive features of quasicrystals-structures with long-range order but without periodicity-are phasons. Phasons are hydrodynamic modes that, like phonons, do not cost free energy in the long-wavelength limit. For light-induced colloidal quasicrystals, we analyze the collective rearrangements of the collo…

Abstract Poly(melamine‐urea‐formaldehyde) (MUF) microcapsules used as self‐healing component of composites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The surface of MUF microcapsules was modified by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxy silane‐coupling agent (KH550). The interfacial interactions between MUF microcapsules and KH550 wer…

The growth of cooperatively rearranging regions was invoked long ago by Adam and Gibbs to explain the slowing down of glass-forming liquids. The lack of knowledge about the nature of the growing order, though, complicates the definition of an appropriate correlation function. One option is the point-to-set (PTS) corre…

As tissue engineering products move toward the clinic, nondestructive methods to monitor their development and ensure quality are needed. In this study, high-resolution spectral ultrasound imaging (SUSI) was used to noninvasively characterize mineral content in collagen hydrogels. SUSI was used to generate three-dimen…

Surface nanostructuration was successfully achieved by binding the polyoxometalate (POM) (NBu 4 ) 3 [PW 11 O 39 {(SiC 6 H 4 NH 2 ) 2 O}] covalently onto planar gold surfaces. To do so, POMs functionalized with two terminal amino groups were synthesized and reacted with a mercaptoundecanoic acid self-assembled monolaye…

Dendrimers provide many exciting opportunities for potential biomedical applications. However, owing to their positively charged surfaces, poly(propyleneimine) (PPI) dendrimers show toxic and haemolytic activities. One of the methods for masking the peripheral cationic groups is to modify them using carbohydrate resid…
