Electrospun mats with complex ordered architectures are fabricated by using patterned conductive collectors. The effect of the diameter of the web wires and the protrusions on the formation of the patterns of the fibrous materials are elaborated and woven structures that have been generated by a time-dependent control…

Abstract Since the mid 1990s soluble, well‐characterized high molecular weight metal‐containing and metallosupramolecular polymers have become readily available for the first time, even in some cases, with narrow molecular weight distributions and controlled architectures such as block copolymers. This has led to a ra…

Abstract Currently, use of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) for injection molded articles is limited for commercial applications because PLA has a slow crystallization rate when compared with many other thermoplastics as well as standard injection molding cycle times. The overall crystallization rate and final crystallinity of…

Several general results are derived for diffuse waves in anisotropic solids, including concise expressions for the modal density per unit volume and for the participation factor matrix G. The latter is a second order tensor which describes the orientational distribution of diffuse wave or reverberant energy, and reduc…

Summary 1. The European Union's Water Framework Directive requires all water bodies to achieve ‘good ecological status’ by 2015 and this paper describes a rationale for defining ‘good ecological status’ based on diatoms, a significant component of the biological quality element ‘macrophyte and phytobenthos’. 2. A data…

Abstract Carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanospheres (CNS) were synthesized from sucrose solution using an arc discharge method without graphite electrodes. In this process, the nanocarbon products were formed from carbon atoms supplied by the sucrose in solution rather than from the gr…

Abstract The nitridation of mesoporous silica MCM-41 with ammonia was carried out by using a plug flow-type reactor. The degree of nitridation was dependent on the amount of NH3 supplied. Mesoporous silicon oxynitride containing 34 wt % of nitrogen could be prepared at 1273 K for 8 h, and the hexagonal mesoporous stru…

Abstract TTF-carboxylic acid 2 exhibits gelling ability for hexane and cyclohexane to form an orange fibrous material and shows solvatochromism both in solution and in the fiber formation to produce a reddish-purple fibrous material from acetonitrile. Moreover, the corresponding ester 1 forms yellow fibers from aceton…

We report a spectroscopic study of how nanocrystal shape influences exciton size. The effective exciton size in complex-shaped nanocrystals is examined by comparing exciton fine structure relaxation rates, measured by the ultrafast polarization transient grating method, to an extensive empirical calibration curve that…

In this paper, we report the facile synthesis of single-crystalline BaTiO 3 nanowires at low temperature (50 °C) in ethanol solution by using inorganic raw materials. The nanowires have a uniform diameter of 100 nm and a length up to 10 μm. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed that it is the tetragonal phase of BaTiO…

Flagella nanotubes present on the surface of E. coli bacteria were bioengineered to display arginine-lysine and glutamic acid-aspartic acid peptide loops. These protein bionanotubes were demonstrated to self-assemble, layer-by-layer, by atomic force microscopy (AFM) on gold-coated mica and quartz surfaces. Flagella wi…
