Gold nanoparticles have been synthesized inside ethosomes, vesicles composed of phospholipid, ethanol, and water, which could be very efficient not only in delivery probes to the skin but also as diagnostic and therapeutic multimodal agents. High efficiency encapsulation of gold nanoparticles is achieved by a simple s…

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to analyze the interactions between fibrinogen and model surfaces having different levels of water wettability. In contrast to most AFM studies, proteins were coupled to the substrate while model surface colloids were attached to the end of the AFM probe, thereby ensuring that pr…

Using the fluctuation exchange approximation and a three-orbital model, we study the band renormalization, the Fermi surface reconstruction, and the superconducting pairing symmetry in iron-based superconductors. We find that the interorbital spin fluctuations lead to the strong anisotropic band renormalization and th…

Kinetics of cross-linking copolymerization of acrylate- and methacrylate-monomers in a liquid crystal blue phase to prepare the polymer-stabilized blue phase were investigated based on dynamic mechanical analysis. Although the polymerization rate of methacrylate-monomers is generally much lower than that of acrylate-o…

Coordinate-transformation cloaking is based on the design of a metamaterial shell made of an anisotropic, spatially inhomogeneous "transformation medium" that allows rerouting the impinging wave around a given region of space. In its original version, it is generally believed that, in the ideal limit, the radiation ca…

The objective of the present paper is to investigate the linear viscoelasticity of diluted suspension of MWNT spread in PDMS. Specifically, we focus our attention on both the CNT relaxation in semidilute conditions and the concept of percolation threshold for such system. Finally, the results, and mainly the concentra…

The optimal structural parameters for an antireflective structure in high resistive float zone silicon are deduced for a rectangular and a hexagonal structure. For this the dependence of the effective index from the filling factor was calculated for both grating types. The structures were manufactured by the Bosch-pro…

A facile approach to synthesize vinylene-linked donor−acceptor conjugated polymers is reported and can now be considered for general use. This approach led to a low-bandgap, structurally defect-free vinylene-linked benzothiadiazole−thiophene (PTVBT) polymer and its corresponding model compound bisTVBT using a set of t…
