Two-, four-, and six-armed branched copolymers with electroactive and biodegradable properties were synthesized by coupling reactions between poly(l-lactides) (PLLAs) with different architecture and carboxyl-capped aniline trimer (CCAT). The aniline oligomer CCAT was prepared from amino-capped aniline trimer and succi…

A $2+1$-dimensional fermion field theory is proposed as a model for the low-energy electronic excitations in monolayer graphene. The model consists of ${N}_{f}=2$ four-component Dirac fermions moving in the plane and interacting via a contact interaction between charge densities. For strong couplings there is a contin…

The application of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) for preparation of a novel class of protein-polymer bioconjugates is described, exemplified by the synthesis of a recombinant human growth hormone (rh-GH) poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) hybrid. The rh-GH protein was activated via a…

Competitive adsorption between nonpolar organic compounds and polar ionic organic compounds (IOCs) on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is essential for application of CNTs as superior sorbents and for environmental risk assessment of both CNTs and organic contaminants. It was observed in this study that adsorption of neutral a…

Unknown parameters critical to understanding the electron-precursor-substrate interactions during electron-beam-induced deposition (EBID) have long limited our ability to fully control this nanoscale, directed assembly method. We report here values that describe the precursor-solid interaction, the precursor surface d…

The formation of well-oriented cylinders with perpendicular morphology for polystyrene-b-polydimethylsiloxane (PS-PDMS) thin films was achieved by spin coating. The self-assembled PS-PDMS nanostructured thin films were used as templates for nanopatterning; the PDMS blocks can be oxidized as silicon oxy carbide microdo…

The competition between chemical equilibrium, for example protonation, and physical interactions determines the molecular organization and functionality of biological and synthetic systems. Charge regulation by displacement of acid-base equilibrium induced by changes in the local environment provides a feedback mechan…

In this Comment, using Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation method in the atomic-sphere approximation (KKR-ASA CPA) to describe the effects of disorder due to excess Fe in FeTe alloys, we show that (i) the rigid-band approximation is inadequate to describe the effects of disorder and its application…

We present ab initio many-body calculations of the optical absorption in bulk graphite, graphene and bilayer of graphene. Electron-hole interaction is included solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation on top of a $GW$ quasiparticle electronic structure. For all three systems, we observe strong excitonic effects at high ene…
