In this work, two-dimensional lattice-based self-consistent field theory is used to study the free energy cost associated with the insertion of a nanoparticle into a polymer brush. The nanoparticle is modeled as a cylinder and the self-consistent field equations are formulated on a cylindrical lattice. The use of two-…
An aqueous deposition process for V(6)O(13) films is developed whereby the vanadium oxidation state is continuously controlled throughout the entire process. In the precursor stage, a controlled wet chemical reduction of the vanadium(V) source with oxalic acid is achieved and monitored by (51)Vanadium Nuclear Magnetic…
We investigated synthesis of zirconia nanoparticles (Nps) and their ameliorative roles as additives concrete structures. Synthesized Zirconia Nps were studied with X‐ray diffraction (XRD), UV‐visible spectrophotometer, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). We used standard Portland cement in related experiment C…
The introduction of voids in a magnetic thin-film alters the stray field distribution and enables the tailoring of the corresponding physical properties. Here we present a detailed study on thin magnetic nanohole arrays (NhAs) grown on top of hexagonally-ordered anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) substrates. We address the e…
UDP-galactopyranose mutase (UGM) plays an essential role in galactofuranose biosynthesis in microorganisms by catalyzing the conversion of UDP-galactopyranose to UDP-galactofuranose. The enzyme has gained attention recently as a promising target for the design of new antifungal, antitrypanosomal, and antileishmanial a…
Ordered mesostructured mesoporous materials, combining nano-organization with atomic disorder, are both attractive and challenging objects of investigation by X-ray and neutron diffraction. The development of diffraction mesostructure analysis methods and their applications in studies on structural characterization, f…
The aim of this study was to prepare, characterize and evaluate electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose acetate (CA) nanofibers loaded with capsicum extract (CE) for use in topical skin treatments. CE, 0.5, 1 or 2 wt %, was loaded into PVA and CA electrospun fiber mats. Various properties of the CE-loaded fi…
One remaining challenge in the field of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots is learning to control the degree of functionalization or “valence” per nanocrystal. Current quantum dot surface modification strategies rely heavily on ligand exchange, which consists of replacing the nanocrystal’s native ligands…
We show that coating ZnO nanowires (NWs) with a transition metal, such as Ni, can increase the efficiency of light emission at room temperature. Based on detailed structural and optical studies, this enhancement is attributed to energy transfer between near-band-edge emission in ZnO and surface plasmons in the Ni film…
The magneto-structural correlations in Cu(25dbp)2X2 and Cu(2bp)2Br2, where 25dbp = 2,5-dibromopyridine, X = Cl or Br, and 2bp = 2-bromopyridine have been investigated. The supramolecular structures of Cu(25dbp)2X2 are based on C–Br⋯X–Cu halogen bonding interactions. The temperature dependence of the susceptibility of…
A beetles' first line of defense against environmental hazards is their mesothoracic elytra--rigid, protective forewings. In order to study the interaction of these wings with water, the surface microstructures of various beetles' elytra were observed by Environment Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) and Atomic Force…
Two new oxomolybdenum(VI) complexes [(TpMoO(2))(2)(μ-O)]·H(2)O (1) and (Tp(4-I)MoO(2))(2)(μ-O) (2) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, UV-Vis spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analyses (TG). In addition, the catalytic perfor…
This work reports the importance of nanopore morphology in designing super liquid-repellent submicropillar/nanopore hierarchical surfaces. The hierarchical surfaces were fabricated using a combined process of oblique angle sputter deposition of aluminum with subsequent anodizing, and the surfaces were coated with a fl…
An aureate dye: Confined electromagnetic fields in DNA-templated gold nanoparticle dimers were tuned to engineer the fluorescence properties of organic dyes in water (see picture). Purified suspensions of hybrid metal-organic chromophores featured unprecedented photophysical properties, such as a short lifetime and lo…
The coordination chemistry of the potentially tridentate phenoxyethyl‐ and benzylaminoethyl‐iminophenol pro‐ligands {ONO}H and {ONN}H on to calcium, zinc and aluminum centers has been studied. {ONO}Ca(N(SiMe 3 ) 2 )(THF) (1) was prepared by a one‐pot salt metathesis procedure but the analogous reaction with {ONN}H led…
Abstract Shape‐memory polymers (SMPs) have wide range of applications due to their ability to sense environmental stimuli and reshape from a temporary shape to a permanent shape. Plant oil‐based polymeric materials are highly concerned in recent years in consideration of petroleum depletion and environmental pollution…
We study the quenching of fluorescence intensity of 40 g/L poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) PVP molecules by varying the content of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) from 1 to 5 μM in 1-butanol. A profound exponential decay of the emission band intensity in the π ← n π* band of the PVP molecules at ~392 nm upon gradual addition of the…
We measure the transport properties of mechanically strained single crystals of BaFe${}_{2}$(As${}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}$P${}_{x}$)${}_{2}$ over a wide range of $x$. The N\'eel transition is extremely sensitive to stress and this sensitivity increases as optimal doping is approached (doping with the highest superconducti…
The surfaces of polyethylene and polypropylene sheets were modified by grafting with polymeric brushes formed from a phosphobetaine monomer. Pressed sheets of bromo-functionalized polyethylene or polypropylene macroinitiators (PE-MIs and PP-MIs, respectively) were used to initiate the atom-transfer radical polymerizat…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out to study isotope effects in lithium hydride and lithium deuteride crystals. Quantum effects on nuclear motion have been included through a quantum thermal bath (QTB). The interatomic forces were described either within the density functional theory (DFT) in the…
