Nanofibers are an emerging scaffold for tissue engineering. To date no one has reported cell incorporation into nanofibers. Human foreskin fibroblasts and human adipose-derived adult stem cells (hADAS) were grown to confluence, resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline, and then solubilized in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).…

The emerging families of advanced thermoelectrics are dominated by antimonides and tellurides. Because the structures of the tellurides are mostly composed of NaCl-related motifs, they do not contain any Te-Te bonds, and all of the antimonide structures exhibit Sb-Sb bonds of various lengths. Taking all Sb-Sb distance…

A novel green luminescent compound, (κ 2 -( N, N ′)-8-acetylaminoquinolate)diphenylborane ( 1 ) was synthesized and fully characterized. To incorporate into the polymer main-chain, (κ 2 -( N, N ′)-8-acetylaminoquinolate)bis(4-iodophenyl)borane was also synthesized as a monomer. A new class of fluorescent main-chain ty…

Based on experimental data on the newly synthesized iron-based superconductors and the relevant band structure calculations, we propose a minimal two-band BCS-type Hamiltonian with the interband Hubbard interaction included. We illustrate that this two-band model is able to capture the essential features of unconventi…

In this study, composite structures were produced using HDPE polymer with silk and cotton waste as reinforcement fibers in different ratios. Cotton and silk wastes were mixed in the ratios of HDPE/silk or cotton waste 100%/0%, 97%/3%, and 94%/6%. This mixture was prepared with double-screwed extruder. The tests were c…

Abstract Two novel cationic RAFT agents, PCDBAB and DCTBAB, were anchored onto MMT clay to yield RAFT‐MMT clays. The RAFT‐MMT clays were then dispersed in styrene where thermal self‐initiation polymerization of styrene to give rise to exfoliated PS/clay nanocomposites occurred. The RAFT agents anchored onto the clay l…

Er(3+)-ion-doped anatase TiO(2) nanocrystals were prepared by simple wet chemical synthesis. Very sharp and intense near-infrared luminescence at approximately 1.53 microm was observed that originated from the lattice site of Er(3+) ions incorporated in TiO(2) nanocrystals. Based on the high-resolution emission and ex…

When the photochromism of 2-(3'-pyridylmethylene)-7-ethylbenzo[b]thiophen-3(2H)-ones (4) was investigated, high thermal stability of the E isomer of 4, 4(E) and good repeatability of the photoinduced E,Z-isomerization were found. Association constants of the 1:1 complexations of 4(Z) and 4(E) with the ureidoporphyrin…

During the synthesis of ZnSe nanowires various point and extended defects can form, leading to observed stacking faults and twinning defects, and strong defect related emission in photoluminescence spectra. In this paper, we report on the development of a simple thermodynamic model for estimating the defect concentrat…

Abstract This article deals with a new macromolecular charring agent, polyamide 11 (PA11), which is in combination with a small charring agent, pentaerythritol (PER) and a flame retardant, ammonium polyethylene to flame‐retardant polypropylene (PP). When compared with polyamide 6 (PA6), an existing macromolecular char…

We have studied the behavior of band gap and effective mass of both the electrons and the holes in small diameter zigzag single-walled carbon nanotubes under uniaxial mechanical strain by using first-principles density-functional theory. The band gap of these nanotubes is modified by both compressive and tensile strai…

We address the dynamic behavior of poly(ethylene oxide) [PEO] in miscible blends with poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA] by using quasi-elastic neutron scattering [QENS] with isotopic labeling. The data reveal two dynamic processes in the picosecond−nanosecond time scales: a slow process that is consistent with previous…

It is rare that such a diverse array of applications can be realized from a single basic molecular unit, however, such is the power of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycle motif. Indeed, their potential in areas such as chemical dyes, optical sensors, optoelectronics, and biomedical agents is a function of their rich electron…
