We develop a quantitative model of the self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth of GaAs nanowires, that depends on only a few a priori unknown physical parameters. The model is based on the sole consideration of the As species and incorporates all relevant mechanisms of exchange of As between the vapor, liquid, and so…

Recyclable nanocatalysts of core-shell bimetallic nanocrystals are developed through polydopamine coating-directed one-step seeded growth, interfacial assembly, and substrate-immobilization of Au@Ag core-shell nanocrystals. This strategy provides new opportunities to design and optimize heterogeneous nanocatalysts wit…

Ketonic carbonyl groups are catalytic active sites for oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) reactions on carbon nanotubes. The quantity of these groups could be calculated from chemical titration with hydrazine compounds. ODH catalytic activity of nanocarbon is directly correlated with surface concentration of ketonic carb…

Electrospinning is a technique that is exceptionally well-suited for reliable, cost-effective production that uses electrostatic forces to form and manipulate a jet of polymer solution to form nanosized, fibrillar polymeric materials. However, producing smooth (non-beaded) fibres with truly nanosized diameters is not…

Abstract This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem for the phase-fieldtransition system with state constraint and obstacle. After showing the relationshipbetween the control problem and its approximation, we derive Pontryagin’smaximum principle for an optimal control of our original problem by using one…

Abstract Tasar silk is a variety of non‐mulberry silk indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. We present the measured frequency‐dependent viscoelastic moduli of Tasar regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) solution using optical tweezers at two concentrations (0.16% and 0.25% w/v) and extend these measurements to the low frequ…
