Abstract Two types of temperature‐sensitive biodegradable three‐arm and four‐arm star‐shaped poly( DL ‐lactic acid‐ co ‐glycolic acid‐ b ‐ethylene glycol) (3‐arm and 4‐arm PLGA–PEG) were successfully synthesized via the coupling reaction of 3‐arm and 4‐arm PLGA and α‐monocarboxyl‐ω‐monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (CM…
The architecture of a biocompatible organogel formed by gelation of a small molecule organic gelator, N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid di-n-butylamide, in isostearyl alcohol was investigated based on a supersaturation-driven crystallographic mismatch branching mechanism. By controlling the supersaturation of the system, the…
Large-area ordered Ni nanowire arrays with different diameters have been fabricated by the direct current electrodeposition into the holes of porous anodic alumina membrane. The crystal structure and micrograph of nanowire arrays are characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and h…
A magnetically steered electric switch based on nematic liquid crystal-single-wall carbon nanotube dispersions is demonstrated. The device exploits the conductivity anisotropy of nanotubes in combination with the magnetic Freedericksz transition of a nematic liquid crystal. The performance is characterized with respec…
The field of engineering has made substantial strides in nanotechnology, in the realm of materials science and construction of nanoscale devices. Nanomedicine encompasses application of cutting edge engineered nanostructures to biological systems and development of novel strategies for disease intervention. In the cur…
In this paper, the effectiveness of stress grading coatings (SGCs) on form wound stator coil groundwall insulation under fast rise time pulses is analyzed. The combined performance of the stress grading coating and the semiconductive slot coating is studied under fast rise time transient voltages. During the rapid ris…
Benzyl-substituted benzylpyridinium (BP) chloride salts were used as a source of thermometer ions to probe the internal energy (IE) transfer in desorption/ionization on porous silicon (DIOS). To modify their wetting properties and the interaction energies with the thermometer ions, the DIOS surfaces were silylated to…
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus metabolises glucose and galactose by a 'promiscuous' non-phosphorylative variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, in which a series of enzymes have sufficient substrate promiscuity to permit the metabolism of both sugars. Recently, it has been proposed that the pa…
We present results of atomistic computer simulations of spontaneous and stress-induced grain boundary (GB) migration in copper. Several symmetrical tilt GBs have been studied using the embedded-atom method and molecular dynamics. The GBs are observed to spontaneously migrate in a random manner. This spontaneous GB mot…
Our results indicate that the surface chemistry, composition, and 3-D structure of nanoparticles are critical in determining their in vivo biodistribution, and therefore the efficacy of nanodevice imaging and therapies. We demonstrate that gold/dendrimer nanocomposites in vivo, present biodistribution characteristics…
Abstract The question of whether palladium nanoclusters are the actual catalysts in the so‐called ‘cluster–catalyzed Sonogashira cross‐coupling’ is investigated, using the coupling of phenylacetylene with 4‐bromobenzonitrile as a model reaction. By combining a detailed kinetic analysis with transmission electron micro…
Stereoelectronic effects have been identified as contributing factors to the conformational stability of collagen-mimetic peptide sequences. To assess the relevance of these factors within other protein structural contexts, three polypeptide sequences were prepared in which the sequences were derived from the canonica…
Purpose To evaluate the corrosion inhibition potential of Datura metel in acid medium on mild steel (MS) with a view to develop green corrosion inhibitors. Design/methodology/approach Acid extract of the D. metel was studied for its corrosion inhibitive effect by electrochemical and weight loss methods. Using weight l…
Liquid crystal photo‐alignment using azo‐dyes is reviewed. This alignment method is very different from previously reported ones, such as photo‐crosslinking, photo degradation and photo‐isomerization. It will be shown that this photo‐aligning method can provide a controllable pretilt angle and strong anchoring energy…
PURPOSE: To prospectively and intraindividually compare the effect of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at a higher magnetic field strength (3.0 T) on contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) at different doses of a T1-shortening contrast agent in patients with contrast-enhancing brain lesions, with 1.5-T MR imaging as a reference…
Edible antimicrobial films are an innovation within the biodegradable active packaging concept. They have been developed in order to reduce and/or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surface of foods. This study developed an edible antimicrobial film based on yam starch (Dioscorea alata) and chitosan and inves…
The ferroic and electroactive properties of the recently identified ferroelectrets are based on the quasi‐permanent internal electric charging of the cellular structure in polymer foams. Drawing on the wealth of expertise and insight that was obtained on cellular polypropylene (PP) and in particular on structure‐prope…
Five single-phase Mo−V−O-based mixed metal oxides, Mo−V−O, Mo−V−Te−O, Mo−V−Sb−O, Mo−V−Te−Nb−O, and Mo−V−Sb−Nb−O, all of which assume the same orthorhombic structure, were prepared by hydrothermal method, and propane ammoxidation to acrylonitrile (AN) using these mixed oxides as catalysts was performed in order to clar…
Abstract Single and multilayered structures at nano‐length scale are very attractive materials due to their high strength, toughness, and wear resistance relative to conventional laminated composites. In this study, single layered Al, SiC, and multilayered Al/SiC composites were synthesized by DC/RF magnetron sputteri…
Abstract— Refractive indices of two photocurable polymers, NOA65 and NOA81 (Norland Optical Adhesive), and two series of Merck liquid crystals, E‐series (E44, E48, and E7) and BL‐series (BL038, BL003 and BL006), and two UCF high‐birefringence liquid‐crystal mixtures were measured using an Abbe refractometer in the vis…
