The elastic properties of fcc crystals consisting of charge stabilized colloidal particles are determined from real space imaging experiments using confocal microscopy. The normal modes and the force constants of the crystal are obtained from the fluctuations of the particles around their lattice sites using the equip…
It is important to study the hydrogen-bonding character in hydrophilic polymers in detail to create new hydrophilic synthetic polymers controlled by hydration. In this paper, the role of hydroxyl side chains in sericin, a gluelike hydrophilic protein of Bombyx mori cocoon, in forming stable β-sheet aggregates is studi…
The plasmon oscillations in a cluster of two nearly touching metallic nanospheres are studied. Simple analytical expressions have been found for the spectra of plasmon oscillations of different symmetry. A type of plasmon oscillations (``plasmonic molecule'') which are strongly localized between the spheres and which…
Phase evolution, microstructure and dielectric behaviour of Li and Ta codoped NiO (LTNO) ceramics were studied. The content of Ta 2 O 5 was mainly dispersed into the grain boundaries and exists as the NiTa 2 O 6 phase. The concentration of Ta has a remarkable effect on the dielectric properties of the LTNO ceramics. T…
In order to facilitate a novel means for coupling proteins to metal oxides, peptides were identified from a dodecamer peptide yeast surface display library that bound a model metal oxide material, the C, A, and R crystalline faces of synthetic sapphire (alpha-Al(2)O(3)). Seven rounds of screening yielded peptides enri…
ABSTRACT Sensory evaluation of tactile properties of fabrics is a subject many researchers have studied for years and which still has importance and is also open to improvements. Particularly for suitings, the sensory evaluation of fabric handle or of other tactile properties has a greater importance. This article exp…
A series of wheat-gluten-based nanocomposites were produced by dispersing Cloisite-30B nanoclay particles into plasticized wheat gluten systems under thermal processing conditions. The exfoliation of the nanoparticles as confirmed by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy has resulted in sig…
Raman excitation profiles are obtained and compared for carbon nanotube radial breathing mode (RBM) fundamental and overtone vibrations for 5 specific chiralities. Fitting of the Raman excitation data is performed using Raman transform theory. The Huang-Rhys factors obtained from the modeling are directly related to t…
The crystal structure of an active site mutant of pro-Tk-subtilisin (pro-S324A) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis was determined at 2.3 A resolution. The overall structure of this protein is similar to those of bacterial subtilisin-propeptide complexes, except that the peptide bond linking…
From the reaction of in situ generated 1,2-di(4-tert-butylphenyl)ethylene-1,2-dithiol, 2LH2, and Na[AuCl4].2H2O in 1,4-dioxane, green brown crystals of diamagnetic [N(n-Bu)4][AuIII(2L)2] (1) were obtained. As shown by cyclic voltammetry, 1 is a member of an electron-transfer series comprising the dianion [AuII(2L)2]2-…
Several studies have recently reported the use of monofunctional octahedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (monofunctional POSS) to modify polymer networks. In most of these studies the final material is depicted as a network with pendent POSS units randomly dispersed in the structure. The aim of this paper is to show tha…
We use first-principles density functional theory calculations to investigate the strongly nonlinear compositional trends in ferroelectric BiBO3-PbTiO3 solid solutions for a variety of cations on the perovskite B site. We demonstrate that previously tabulated crystal chemical parameters (extracted from other Pb-based…
Thin tablets and films of calcium carbonate have been grown at the air-water interface via an amorphous precursor route using soluble process-directing agents and a Langmuir monolayer based on resorcarene. By using appropriate concentrations of poly(acrylic acid-sodium salt) in combination with Mg2+ ion, an initially…
Much of the understanding of bulk liquids has progressed through study of the limiting case in which molecules interact via purely repulsive forces, such as a hard-core or "repulsive ramp" potential. In the same spirit, we report progress on the understanding of confined water by examining the behavior of waterlike mo…
Poly(pyrrole-co-pyrrole propylic acid) (PPy/PPa) composite films were prepared for the first time by electrochemical copolymerization in mixed pyrrole propylic acid (Pa) and pyrrole solutions. The electrochemical growth process was investigated by in situ electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (ESPR). Atomic force…
Recently we demonstrated that it is possible to obtain single chains forming single crystals, where chains are adjacently re-entrant. It is feasible to melt these crystals, either by simple consecutive detachment of chain stems from the crystalline substrate or by cluster melting, where several chain stems are involve…
The long and the short of it: Luminol chemiluminesces with a beautiful blue color; however, to be useful for biotechnological applications, the emission must be shifted to much longer wavelengths. Energy-transfer cassettes like that shown in the picture provide one solution.
Thermally labile dendrimers based on the reversible furan−maleimide Diels−Alder reaction are described. First through fourth generation benzyl aryl ether based dendrons 3a − d that contained furan moieties at their focal point were allowed to react with bismaleimide central linker 4 to provide the corresponding dendri…
Novel functionalized pyrroles, 3-pyrrolylacrylic acid (PAA), 5-(3-pyrrolyl) 2,4-pentadienoic acid (PPDA), and 3-pyrrolylpentanoic acid (PPA) were synthesized and used to construct label-free gene sensors based on pyrrole copolymer films. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to obtain electrical readou…
Ferromagnetism in diluted magnets in the compensated regime p << x is shown to be suppressed by the formation of impurity spin clusters. The majority bulk spin couplings are shown to be considerably weakened by the preferential accumulation of holes in spin clusters, resulting in low-energy magnon softening and enhanc…
