We report a scanning photocurrent microscopy (SPCM) study of colloidal lead selenide (PbSe) quantum dot (QD) thin film field-effect transistors (FETs). PbSe QDs are chemically treated with sodium sulfide (Na2S) and coated with amorphous alumina (a-Al2O3) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) to obtain high mobility, air-st…
ABSTRACT Polyethersulphone/polytetrafluoroethylene (PES/PTFE) nanocomposites and composites were prepared by precipitation of PES into a PTFE latex‐containing nanoparticles. Different samples were obtained by varying the relative ratio between PES and PTFE. The complex crystallization process, discussed within the fra…
ABSTRACT This study examines the isothermal treatment of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) powders and films. The PHB and PHBV crystallinities were determined using X‐ray diffractometry, and shown to increase with temperature (130–150°C) and then decreased from 55%…
In-situ attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and focused-beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) were used to monitor and control the antisolvent crystallization of paracetamol from an acetone–water mixture, which was conducted in a 150 mL flat bottom crystallizer with a Mettler T…
Amorphous epoxy is considered for investigating the role of graphene in enhancing elastic stiffness of polymers. Graphene is incorporated in the amorphous epoxy in order to develop graphene-epoxy systems. The mechanical properties of crosslinked graphene-epoxy (G-Ep) nanocomposites have been investigated using molecul…
Based on the recently introduced homogenization theory developed by Al\`u [Phys. Rev. B 84, 075153 (2011)], we propose a generalized retrieval method that allows extracting physically meaningful bulk effective parameters from conventional scattering measurements of periodic metamaterial samples composed of subwaveleng…
AIM: A large fraction of the administered dose of nanoparticles (NPs) localizes into nontarget tissue, which could be due to the heterogeneous population of NPs. MATERIALS & METHODS: To investigate the impact of the above issue, we simultaneously tracked the biodistribution using optical imaging of two different sized…
The relaxation behavior of glass is influenced by the presence of dynamical heterogeneities, which lead to an intrinsically non-monotonic decay of fluctuations in density and enthalpy during isothermal annealing. This is apparently a universal feature of fragile glass forming systems associated with localized spatial…
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) are among the most commercialized engineered nanomaterials. Their biological impact in aquatic organisms has been associated with dissolution, but there is also evidence of nanospecific effects. In this study the waterborne uptake and efflux kinetics of isotopically labeled (68)ZnO N…
The past decade has witnessed intense research activity in the area of Fe(II) spin crossover coordination polymers, which are structurally diverse and functionally intriguing materials. In this endeavor, a less exploited series of ligands have been selected among various N-donor triazole and tetrazole molecules. Devel…
ABSTRACT Graphene‐polymer nanocomposites have significant potential in many applications such as photovoltaic devices, fuel cells, and sensors. Functionalization of graphene is an essential step in the synthesis of uniformly distributed graphene‐polymer nanocomposites, but often results in structural defects in the gr…
The potential applications as well as the environmental and human health implications of carbon nanomaterials are well represented in the literature. There has been a recent focus on how specific physicochemical properties influence carbon nanotube (CNT) function as well as cytotoxicity. The ultimate goal is a better…
We investigate magnetic ordering in metallic Ba(Fe${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$Mn${}_{x}$)${}_{2}$As${}_{2}$ and discuss the unusual magnetic phase, which was recently discovered for Mn concentrations $x>10$%. We argue that it can be understood as a Griffiths-type phase that forms above the quantum critical point associa…
ABSTRACT Considering the outstanding biocompatibility of Bombyx mori silk fibroin, this study is designed to fabricate biomimetic nanofibrous structure made of silk fibroin, which can enhance cell activities for tissue formation. The electrospinning of blend of silk fibroin with low molecular weight poly(ethylene‐oxid…
In this study, reduced-graphene oxide (GO) circuits were directly patterned on glass using an industrially available excimer laser system. A threshold of laser energy density was observed, which provided a clear differentiation on whether the GO was reduced. A sharp drop of resistance by a factor of 104 was measured a…
Novel epoxidized hemp oil-based biocomposites containing jute fibre reinforcement were produced at the Centre of Excellence in Engineered Fibre Composites (CEEFC) owing to the need to develop new types of biobased materials. Mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, Charpy impact and interlaminar shear), thermo-mechan…
An optically tunable and rewritable liquid crystal (LC) diffraction grating cell has been revealed that consists of an optically active and an optically passive alignment layer. The grating profile is created by confining the LC director distribution in alternate planar and twisted alignment domains by means of photoa…
The dispersion properties of transverse electric nonlinear waves in a three-layer slab waveguide which consists of a double negative material (DNM) guiding layer sandwiched between an intensity-dependent refractive index substrate and semi-infinite linear dielectric cover are investigated. The dispersion properties fo…
Abstract Nanoparticle colloidosomes, whose release can be switched on and off in response to a temperature change, are fabricated. Unlike in other systems, the switchable release does not require the colloidosome shell to deform; it instead occurs due to the adsorption or desorption of a block copolymer, dissolved in…
Bending, buckling and free vibration behaviors of functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced polymer composite beam under different non-uniform thermal loads have been analyzed using finite element method. Extended rule of mixture is used to obtain effective material property of the composite. Four diff…
