Abstract Localized oxide spots were grown at the grain boundaries of a technically relevant 30 at.% Nb–Ti β‐type titanium alloy to study the local electrochemical response. The grain boundaries selected were combinations of grains having different orientations and grain boundary angle. Crystallographic information of…
First-principles methods based on density functional theory are used to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of molecular interaction of the TiO${}_{2}$ terminated SrTiO${}_{3}$ (100) surface with ethanol or acetone. Both the perfect surface and the surface with an oxygen or a titanium vacancy in the top…
We report here that by good design, polyaniline (PANI) can be cytocompatible and formed into usable scaffolds for bio-medical applications. By adjusting the ratio of two monomers, aniline (AN) and metanilic acid (MA), a series of copolymers with different sulfonation degrees have been synthesized. Four-probe conductiv…
Losing an I: The metastable metallic compound Bi28Ni25 is the product of the mild reduction of the solid precursor Bi28Ni25I5. In a pseudomorphosis the iodine is completely extracted while the macroscopic crystals are preserved. The unique structure is composed of decagonal nanorods, which consist of an outer Bi tube,…
The kinetics of the TEMPO-mediated oxidation of cotton fibers were studied. It was revealed that the oxidation reaction of the cotton fibers by TEMPO/NaBr/NaClO system can be approximately described as two pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics that are based on the cellulose microstructure, namely the kinetic processes…
Abstract This study discloses (i) the chemical and morphological modifications in acrylate hard‐coat and bare polyethylene terephthalate polymers occurring in the course of Ar plasma treatments and (ii) the effects of these modifications on the adhesion, barrier performance, and cohesion of silicon oxide coatings depo…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are versatile nanomaterials with applications spanning from medicinal chemistry and biology, to electronics as field effect transistors or energy as fuel cells. The major drawback stems from the CNT insolubility in most of the organic and aqueous media, which severely hampers the material proce…
We present a density functional theory analysis for polycrystalline ZnO doped with the potential multiple donors silicon and niobium. A self-interaction correction allows a more accurate description of the defect formation energies as well as the additional electronic doping levels, which enable us to evaluate the inf…
Abstract Combining polymeric silver alkynyl clusters with the Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate [P 2 W 18 O 62 ] 6– has led to the formation of the first chain‐like intercluster compounds {[Ag 14 (C≡C t Bu) 8 (C 3 H 7 NO) 10 ][Ag 12 (C≡C t Bu) 6 Cl(C 3 H 7 NO) 10 ]H[P 2 W 18 O 62 ] 2 } n ( 1 ) and {[Ag 16 (C≡C t Bu) 11 (CH…
ZnO:Al thin films with Al incorporation of 0-20 at.% were deposited through the sol-gel technique. Such a film undergoes a significant microstructure development, from columnar to granular structures and then nanorod arrays with increasing Al content. The important role of Al incorporation level in the microstructure…
Zuverlässige Berichterstattung: Das Screening einer 80-teiligen Tricarbocyanin-Bibliothek lieferte CyNAMLA-381 als Nahinfrarot-SERS-Reporter mit guter Signalstabilität und höherer Empfindlichkeit als der Standard (SERS=oberflächenverstärkte Raman-Spektroskopie). Durch Verkapselung von CyNAMLA-381 an der Oberfläche von…
The binding energy, density, and solubility of functionalized gold nanoparticles in a vacuum are computed using molecular dynamics simulations. Numerous parameters including surface coverage fraction, functional group (-CH(3), -OH, -NH(2)), and nanoparticle orientation are considered. The analysis includes computation…
The use of cisplatin, a first line chemotherapy for most cancers, is dose-limited due to nephrotoxicity. While this toxicity can be addressed through nanotechnology, previous attempts at engineering cisplatin nanoparticles have been limited by the impact on the potency of cisplatin. Here we report the rational enginee…
Abstract Residues from footwear roughing and carding operations represent 5–15% (w/w) of the solid wastes generated by shoe‐making companies. These wastes are mainly composed by chromium tanned leather and sole materials, and are mostly land filled. Sometimes leaching tests show these wastes as hazardous due to chromi…
Our data demonstrate that multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are internalized by macrophages, subsequently activating them to produce interleukin (IL)-12 (IL-12). This cytokine induced the proliferative response of T lymphocytes to a nonspecific mitogen and to ovalbumin (OVA). This increase in the proliferative re…
Abstract This study demonstrates the development of polymeric superhydrophobic surfaces by a solvent‐free ultrafine powder coating (UPC) technique for the first time. The developed surfaces exhibit lotus effect with water contact angles (CAs) of over 160° and sliding angle (SA) of less than 5°. It is evident that the…
Since the crystal-field strength at the Cr(3+) site is very close to the excited-state crossover (ESCO), this work investigates the optical properties of Cr(3+)-doped Gd(3)Ga(5)O(12) (GGG) nanoparticles as a function of temperature and pressure in order to establish the effect of the ESCO on the optical behaviour of n…
5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-6'-carboxylquinoxalino[2,3-b]quinoxalino[12,13-b']porphyrinatozinc(II) (ZnPBQ) is synthesized to evaluate the effects of π elongation of quinoxaline-fused porphyrins on the optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties. ZnPBQ showed an intensified Soret band as well a…
Abstract The sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 )‐based hydrolysis system has received considerable interest as a potential hydrogen source for vehicular application. But its practical application was greatly restricted by the low hydrogen density and high material cost. In the present study, we reported that addition of alum…
Abstract Multicomponent polymer blends involving polyamide6 (PA6), polypropylene (PP), acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) with multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNT) were prepared by melt mixing technique to achieve conducting composites. MWNT were either compounded directly or by em…
