A novel interfacial hybrid epoxidation catalyst was designed with a new immobilization method for homogeneous catalysts by coating an inorganic support with an organic polymer film containing active sites. The titanium silsesquioxane (TiPOSS) complex, which contains a single-site titanium active center, was immobilize…
Although its X-ray powder diffraction patterns show a superstructure, the compound CoMnSb, like the well-known half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb, is often referred to the category of half-metallic ferromagnets with $C{1}_{b}$ structure. Our study assigns CoMnSb to space group $Fm\overline{3}m$. The crystal structure of CoMnSb…
In this paper, the mechanical properties and the crystallization behaviors of nano-ZnO particle reinforced PET (ZnO/PET) composite were investigated in order to verify the possibility of industrial application of ZnO/PET. The addition of nano-ZnO particle (nZnOp) improves the tensile strength and elongation of PET, wh…
We study the equilibrium shape and faceting of Si nanocrystals embedded in $a\text{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{Si}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$, using continuous-space Monte Carlo simulations supplemented by the Wulff construction method. Our aim is to explain in atomistic terms why large nanocrystals are often observed to be faceted,…
The self-organized anodization of aluminium in sulphuric acid was employed for formation of high-density nanostructures at various cell potentials and temperatures. The well-ordered arrangement of nanopores was obtained by two-step anodization process. The qualitative and quantitative analyses of defects were performe…
We propose a theoretical explanation for the puzzling size dependence of the magnetic properties of ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{n}$ clusters. Our approach combines noncollinear ab initio calculations and effective spin Hamiltonians. We show that a remarkable interplay between different magnetic couplings, which is already present…
Gemcitabine is an anticancer agent rapidly deaminated to the inactive metabolite 2',2'-difluorodeoxyuridine. Its stability as well as bioavailability can be increased by making prodrugs. A series of lipophilic prodrugs of gemcitabine were synthesized by linking the 4-amino group with valeroyl, lauroyl, and stearoyl li…
Acid-catalyzed condensation of furan and pentafluorobenzaldehyde yielded conjugated macrocycles with six and eight furan rings. They represent systems similar to annulenes with 30pi and 40pi electrons. From their structural analyses, it was found that furan rings in both the molecules were inverted in an alternative f…
Single step and completely green room temperature biosynthesis of microscale size triangular gold prisms (approximately 25 nm thick) using remnant water collected from soaked Bengal gram beans (Cicer arietinum L.) is reported for the first time. Extracellular transport of protein and biomolecules from protein rich gra…
Novel hollow ZnO microstructures and ZnO microberets (ZMBs) with nanowires grown vertically on both the inner and outer surfaces of beret shells were synthesized on Si(100) substrates by simple thermal evaporation of pure zinc powder without any catalyst or template material at a relative low temperature of 490 degree…
Traditional glioma chemotherapy with those second-line drugs such as anthracyclines usually failed because they are inaccessible to blood-brain barrier (BBB) in tumor. In our study, we incorporated aclarubicin (ACL) into cationic albumin-conjugated pegylated nanoparticle (CBSA-NP-ACL) to determine its therapeutic pote…
The morphology of self-assembled poly(vinyl alcohol)/silica (PVA/SiO2) nanocomposites is investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is found that the SiO2 nanoparticles are homogenously distributed throughout the PVA matrix in a form of spherical nano-cluster. The av…
Structural deformations associated with magnetic phase transitions have been studied by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction in high magnetic fields up to 14 T for the geometrically frustrated triangular lattice antiferromagnet CuFeO 2 . When a magnetic field is applied along the hexagonal c -axis, "scalene triangu…
Multiferroic rare-earth manganates TbMn2O5 and TbMnO3 were synthesized selectively via a one-pot hydrothermal route. The different morphologies can be obtained by changing the ratio of reactants MnCl2.4H2O and KMnO4. SEM and TEM images showed a high quality for the products that was also confirmed by XPS patterns and…
Few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWNTs) can be synthesized in a simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system using ethanol as the carbon source. However, the raw materials always contain a significant amount of impurities due to decomposition of ethanol molecules on the catalyst support, which makes the purification diff…
Wurtzite ZnSe nanowires were prepared on GaAs substrates in a metal-organic chemical vapour deposition system. Electron microscopy shows that they are smooth and uniform in size. Both transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction reveal the wurtzite structure of the nanowires, which grows along the [Formula:…
This research makes use of tetraethylortho-silicate (TEOS) to synthesize silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) nanoparticles with the sol−gel process. During the discussions of reactants (TEOS, NH 3, H 2 O, solvent) and reaction conditions (temperature, reaction time), the size of the silicon dioxide particle will be subjected to…
Polypyrrole-coated polystyrene latex particles bearing reactive N-amino functional groups (PS-PPyNH2) were prepared by the in-situ copolymerization of pyrrole (Py) and the active amino-functionalized pyrrole (PyNH2) in the presence of 1.33 microm-diameter polystyrene (PS) latex particles. These particles were prepared…
Biomimetic bacterial photosynthetic reaction center complexes have been constructed using well-defined self-assembled supramolecular approaches. The "special pair" donor, a cofacial porphyrin dimer, was formed via potassium ion induced dimerization of meso-(benzo-[15]crown-5)porphyrinatozinc. The dimer was subsequentl…
The microwave-hydrothermal method has been investigated for the fast synthesis of rare earth cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles and nanorods. This approach combines the advantages of both hydrothermal and microwave heating techniques. It is facile, rapid, energy-saving, and environmentally-benign and leads to high-yiel…
