This study demonstrated that engineered polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases can be employed as molecular tools to covalently immobilize enzymes at the PHA granule surface. The beta-galactosidase was fused to the N terminus of the class II PHA synthase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The open reading frame was confirmed…
This contribution is focused on applications of spectroscopic methods for the precise control of deposition processes. Besides a monochromator system with a moving grating for the deep ultraviolet/vacuum ultraviolet (DUV/VUV) spectral range, two approaches are presented for online spectrophotometers with CCD arrays. T…
Purpose To appraise the inhibiting effect of Ocimum basilicum extract on aluminium corrosion in 2 M HCl and 2 M KOH solutions, respectively, at 30 and 60°C. Design/methodology/approach Corrosion rates were determined using the gas‐volumetric technique and the values obtained in absence and presence of extract was used…
ABSTRACT The effect of moisture sorption on stability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films at food‐packaging conditions, obtained by different humidities (11% to 98% RH) and temperatures (5 °C and 25 °C), was investigated by decrease in number average molecular weight ( M n ) and loss of tensile strength. Hydrolysis of th…
We report the preparation and investigation of charged colloidal Co2+:ZnO and Mn2+:ZnO nanocrystals. Although both charged and magnetically doped colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals have been reported previously, colloidal charged and magnetically doped semiconductor nanocrystals as described herein have not. Conduct…
Bent-shaped molecules based on the oxadiazole central core with various side wings and terminal chain groups have been synthesized, and their liquid-crystalline behavior was investigated by optical microscopic, X-ray, and electrooptic measurements. These molecules exhibit liquid-crystal polymorphism including both the…
The present work focuses on the topochemical photoconversion process in which alpha-trans-cinnamic acid becomes alpha-truxillic acid. This solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction has previously been studied with X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and vibrational spectroscopy. However structural and kinetic…
Retaining large surface areas in alumina powders during high-temperature annealing is a major challenge in applications as catalyst supports and ceramic precursors. This is because the alumina surface area drastically decreases with transformation from the γ modification (defect spinel structure) into the α modificati…
ABSTRACT Konjac glucomannan (KGM)‐edible films were prepared with different amounts of glycerol or sorbitol as a plasticizer. Films were characterized by moisture sorption isotherm, and following conditioning at different relative humidities, by differential scanning calorimetry and tensile tests. Moisture and polyols…
The synthesis of multichromophoric perylene bisimide-calix[4]arene arrays with up to five perylene units (containing orange, violet, and green perylene bisimide chromophores) and of monochromophoric model compounds was achieved by subsequent imidization of mono-Boc functionalized calix[4]arene linkers with three diffe…
The second hyperpolarizabilities of bisimidazole- and bistriazole-benzene compounds have been calculated at different levels of approximation to unravel the effects of diradical character as well as of charge and spin multiplicity. The largest second hyperpolarizabilities are associated with intermediate diradical cha…
The existence of a metastable state with limited Coulomb-blocked aggregation at the onset of instability in a colloidal solution is proposed and demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically (through Monte Carlo simulations). Such a stable state of small clusters of metallic colloids happens to be extremely impor…
The reaction of ZrCl4 with [gamma-SiW10O36]8- in a potassium acetate buffer results in two different products depending on the reactant ratios. The trimeric species [Zr6O2(OH)4(H2O)3(beta-SiW10O37)3]14- (1) consists of three beta23-SiW10O37 units linked by an unprecedented Zr6O2(OH)4(H2O)3 cluster with C1 point group…
Ab initio periodic calculations and classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the adsorption mode of alanine and a number of short peptides, in particular two peptides, alanine-glutamic acid and alanine-lysine, taken as model systems for the ionic self-complementary oligopeptide EAK16…
Polysaccharide from Porphyra yezoensis (PYPS) was degraded by ultrasound in this study. The changes of intrinsic viscosity with various conditions, such as ultrasonic power, irradiation time, reaction temperature, initial pH value of solution, and its concentration, were investigated by using Ubbleholde viscometry. It…
The synthesis and characterization of two liquid-crystalline ionically self-assembled (ISA) materials obtained by the complexation of an anionic perylene bisimide dye with cationic chiral surfactants is described for the first time. The influence of the chiral nature of the surfactants on the supramolecular organizati…
One key parameter in using electroactive materials to harvest electric energy from mechanical sources is the energy conversion efficiency. Recently, it was shown that, in the relaxor ferroelectric PMN-PT single crystals, a very high longitudinal electromechanical coupling factor (>90%) can be obtained. This paper inve…
Results of picture frame shear tests with optical registration of the strain fields are presented for glass (plain and twill, three types) and glass/PP woven (plain and twill) fabric reinforcements for composite materials. Four problems were investigated. (1) How does the shear diagram vary with differences in test co…
This article reports on the synthesis of thermosensitive polymer brushes on silica nanoparticles by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and the study of thermo-induced phase transitions in water. Silica nanoparticles were prepared by the Stöber process and the surface was functionalized by an ATRP initiator. S…
High density, almost impurity-free and defect-free barium titanate (BaTiO3) fine particles with various sizes from 20to1000nm were prepared by the two-step thermal decomposition of barium titanyl oxalate and postheating treatment. The crystal structures of these particles were investigated as a function of the size an…
