The local surface plasmon resonance properties in systems consisting of silver nanosphere clusters are studied by Green's function. The extinction, absorption, and scattering efficiencies band of two, three, and more silver nanospheres clusters are discussed in detail. The clusters show new types of the local surface…
In this work, we present studies of the effects of electron-beam irradiation on the modification of single-layer graphene. Micro-Raman spectra show that the D, D′, and D + G Raman bands, which are invisible for pristine graphene, appear after the graphenes are irradiated by low-energy electron-beam irradiation (10 keV…
A new liquid crystal phase, denoted modulated helical nanofilament (HNF(mod)), is formed from a very simple class of biphenyl carboxylates lacking the benzylidene aniline moieties typically found in HNF mesogens. The HNF(mod) phase represents a novel kind of nanoparticle possessing stacked aromatic rings, with potenti…
We report on an interesting mechanism of inducing chiroptical response at plasmonic silver nanoparticles (NPs) through the formation of plasmonic hot spots in small metal-NP–chiral-surfactant assemblies. Circular dichroism (CD) was measured at the surface plasmon resonance of cholate-coated silver nanostructures (AgCT…
A short survey of cellular automata based models for corrosion and passivation phenomena is given. Results of simulations based on the model of spatially separated anodic and cathodic reactions are presented for a cavity development from a point-like damage of a protective layer and from an initially flat unprotected…
The relationships between particle morphology and surface properties for different kinds of rutile polycrystalline samples have been thoroughly investigated, combining FTIR spectroscopy of CO adsorbed at 60 K through the carbon end on surface Ti 4+ centers, electron microscopy, and periodic DFT calculations. We provid…
HfC‐30 vol% SiC ceramics with a relative density of 99.7% was obtained by pressureless sintering at 2300°C for 0.5 h. The resultant ceramics showed fine microstructure with HfC grain size around 1 μm. The hardness (20.5 ± 0.2 GPa), bending strength (396 ± 56 MPa), and fracture toughness (2.81 ± 0.18 MPa·m 1/2 ) of HfC…
Plasmonic metal/semiconductor nanocomposites promise to be a breakthrough for boosting and investigating photon-assisted processes at the nanoscale, with exciting perspectives for energy conversion and catalysis. However, the efficiency and selectivity of these surface processes are still far from being controlled. He…
Many body dissipative particle dynamics (MDPD) is a particle-based simulation method in which the interaction potential is a sum of self energies depending on locally sampled density variables. This functional form gives rise to density-dependent pairwise forces; however, not all such force laws are derivable from a p…
Zircon-type PrVO4 and SmVO4 have been studied by high-pressure Raman spectroscopy up to 17 GPa. The occurrence of phase transitions has been detected when compression exceeds 6 GPa. The transformations are not reversible. Raman spectra of the high-pressure phases show similarities with those expected for a monazite-ty…
MAX phase Ti 2 Al (1− x ) Sn x C solid solution with x = 0, 0.32, 0.57, 0.82, and 1 was synthesized by pressureless sintering of uniaxially pressed Ti , Al , Sn , and TiC powder mixtures. Annealing in air atmosphere at 200°C–1000°C triggered a sequence of oxidation reactions which reveal a distinct influence of solid…
Reported is a study evaluating the potential of esterified tannins as plastic additives in poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Tannin esterification using anhydrides was investigated as a route to synthesize tannin esters possessing varying ester chain length and degree of substitution (DS). Esterification decreased the tannin U…
CatalyCEST MRI can detect enzyme activity by employing contrast agents that are detected through chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). A CEST agent, Tm-DO3A-cadaverine, has been designed to detect the catalytic activity of transglutaminase (TGase), which creates a covalent bond between the agent and the side c…
Abstract The design and preparation of porous materials with controlled structures and functionalities is crucial to a variety of absorption‐ or separation‐relevant applications, including CO 2 capture. Here, novel functional polymeric materials with three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) structures are prepar…
The bark extract of the traditional ayurvedic medicinal plant Saraca indica containing redox active polyphenolic compounds has been utilized for the one-step synthesis of gold nanoparticles at room temperature. The polyphenolic compounds acted as the reducing agent as well as the stabilizing agent without any addition…
Defects, such as in-plane waviness and out-of-plane tow wrinkles, cause significant reductions in the mechanical performance of RTM-manufactured composite parts based on woven preforms. To avoid this problem and achieve a greater acceptance rate in industrial processes, the mechanisms behind these defects must be unde…
Bottom-up self-assembly is able to constitute a variety of structures and has been thought to be a promising way for advanced nanofabrication. Droplet evaporation, as the simplest method, has been used in various self-assemblies. However, the assembled area is not large enough and the order is still not well controlle…
A combination of high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating and additive manufacturing technology (AMT) is applied for creating hierarchical porosity within an acrylate and acrylate/thiol-based polymer network. The photopolymerizable formulation is optimized to produce emulsions with a volume fraction of droplet p…
Micro-stereolithography (μSL) is used to produce 3D porous polymer structures by templating high internal phase emulsions. A variety of structures are produced, including lines, squares, grids, and tubes. The porosity matches that of materials produced by conventional photopolymerization.
Oil-water Pickering emulsions of about 200 nm were stabilized by nanosized hydrophilic silica after a simple surface treatment method. We have modified the aqueous silica nanoparticle dispersions by simple adsorption of oleic acid to their surfaces, improving the hydrophobicity of the particles while maintaining their…
