The thermopower, S , of La 0.7 Ca 0.3 Mn 1− y Fe y O 3 ( y = 0–0.09), measured for T = 25–310 K and magnetic fields of B = 0–10 T, exhibits strong sensitivity to doping with Fe. The weak increase of S observed in the undoped material with lowering temperature is enhanced considerably in the sample with y = 0.03 until…

Poly- dl -lactide end-capped by a protected thiol was synthesized by bulk ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of dl -lactide initiated by the reaction product of aluminum isopropoxide [Al ( i OPr) 3 ] with α- (2,4-dinitrophenylsulfenyl) ethanol. After the thiol deprotection, PLA-SH was used to stabilize gold nanoparticl…

Abstract The nanostructures and morphologies of polyamide 6 (PA6)/organoclay nanocomposites prepared by melt compounding have been studied by using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A combination of XRD and TEM indicates that an exfoliated clay morphology dominates at low clay loading…

New bimetallic mu-oxo diferric complexes of several previously reported calix[4]pyrrole Schiff base macrocycles are described. The synthesis of a new member of this class of macrocycles is also reported; it was prepared via an acid-catalyzed condensation between 1,9-bisformyl-5,5-dipropyldipyrromethane and o-phenylene…

Biological fibrous composites commonly exhibit an architecture known as twisted plywood, which is similar to that of the cholesteric liquid-crystalline mesophases. The explanation for the structural similarity is that biological fibrous composites adopt a lyotropic cholesteric liquid-crystalline phase during their for…

The effects of the surface pressure on the particle arrangement of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers of alkanethiol-capped gold nanoparticles were studied. The LB monolayers were prepared from a highly concentrated particle solution, which increases film fabrication efficiency but readily causes small particle voids i…

The C-termini of Spidroins produced in the major and minor ampullate glands of spiders are highly conserved. Despite this conservation, no corresponding peptides have been identified in the spinning dopes or the silk filaments so far. To prove their presence or absence, polyclonal antibodies derived against fusion pro…

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from oxazine 720 (oxa), rhodamine 6G (R6G), and pyridine (py) adsorbed on a rough silver surface was observed. The silver electrode was immersed in aqueous solutions permitting control of the potential bias applied to the surface. SERS spectra in the Stokes and anti-Stokes regi…

We report measurements of the glass transition temperature ( T g ) in thin free-standing polymer films of polystyrene (PS) by means of confocal Raman spectroscopy. The paper introduces Raman spectroscopy as a novel method for the determination of T g in polymer thin films. We find excellent agreement between Raman sca…

By molecular dynamics simulation, we study the charge inversion phenomenon of a rod macroion in the presence of polyelectrolyte counterions. We simulate electrophoresis of the macroion under an applied electric field. When both counterions and coions are polyelectrolytes, charge inversion occurs if the line charge den…

This letter reports a giant magnetocaloric effect (GMCE) in a novel series of materials based on the shape memory alloy Ni2MnGa. The origin of an enhanced GMCE is traced to the coincidence of a first-order magnetic transition and its attendant structural phase transition with a second-order magnetic transition. This c…
