Liquid dynamics in micropillar arrays have received significant fundamental interest and have offered opportunities for the development of advanced microfluidic, thermal management, and energy-harvesting devices. However, a comprehensive understanding of complex liquid behavior and the effect on macroscopic propagatio…
The equilibrium geometric structures, stabilities, and electronic properties of bimetallic Au(n)Cs (n = 1-10) and pure gold Au(n) (n ≤ 11) clusters have been systematically investigated by using density functional theory with meta-generalized gradient approximation. The optimized geometries show that one Au atom cappe…
The first-principles calculations have been used to investigate the structural and electronic properties of fluorographene nanoribbons and hybrid fluorographene–graphene nanoribbons. Our results indicate that both zigzag and armchair fluorographene nanoribbons are always semiconductors with width-dependent band gaps.…
Better knowledge of interface between nanotechnology and biology will lead to advanced biomedical tools for imaging and therapeutics. In this review, recent progress in the understanding of how size, shape, and surface properties of nanoparticles (NPs) affect intracellular uptake, transport, and processing of NPs will…
We report a thickness-dependent evolution of magnetic domains from long stripe-like to bubble-like entities in La1−xSrxMnO3 (x ∼ 0.3) (LSMO) films grown on LaAlO3 substrates. By using 2-D fast Fourier transformation of magnetic force microscopy images and power spectral density function, we accurately determine the do…
Abstract In this study, melt‐crystallization behaviors of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) composites including different types of inorganic fillers were investigated. Composite samples having 5 wt % of fillers were prepared by melt processing in a twin screw extruder using commercial grades of calcite (CA), halloys…
Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of graphene oxide (GO) reduced with hydrazine and heat has been measured to investigate the effect of reduction type on the bandgap of the reduced GO. Nitrogen functionalities formed in the hydrazine-treated GO were responsible for a strong localization of carriers that cau…
Structurally flexible trans -cyclohexane-1,4-diammonium (CHDA 2+ ) forms a hydrogen-bonded sandwich-type supramolecule with benzo[18]crown-6 in (CHDA 2+ )(benzo[18]crown-6) 2 [Ni(dmit) 2 ] 2 ( 1 ) (dmit 2–: 2-thioxo-1,3-dithiole-4,5-dithiolate). During the crystallization, the three crystal polymorphs 1a, 1b, and 1c w…
A new enzymatic activity detection assay based on colour change of the semi-reflective films is presented. The method is based on the preparation of multilayered thin films of controlled thickness obtained by sequential deposition of cellulose nanocrystals and xyloglucan. The hydrolysis of the films leads to a decreas…
We apply the method developed [Chernyshuk and Lev, Phys. Rev. E 81, 041701 (2010)] for theoretical investigation of colloidal elastic interactions between axially symmetric particles in the confined nematic liquid crystal near one wall and in the nematic cell with thickness L. Both cases of homeotropic and planar dire…
To scrutinize materials for specific biomedical applications, we need sensitive and selective analytical methods that can give more insight into the process of their biodegradation. In the present study, the enzymatic degradation of multiblock poly(ester amide) based on natural amino acids, such as lysine and leucine,…
A miniature, quasi one dimensional, magnetic field sensor based on magnetoelectric coupling is presented. The magnetoelectric sensor makes use of the d31 coupling mode between a piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate tube and FeNi magnetostrictive wire. The sensors demonstrate high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise rat…
Clostridium beijerinckii mutant strain IB4, which has a high level of inhibitor tolerance, was screened by low-energy ion implantation and used for butanol fermentation from a non-detoxified hemicellulosic hydrolysate of corn fiber treated with dilute sulfuric acid (SAHHC). Evaluation of toxicity showed C. beijerincki…
Comparing with Ge2Sb2Te5, Al1.3Sb3Te is proved to be a promising candidate for phase-change memory use because of its higher crystallization temperature (∼210 °C), larger crystallization activation energy (3.32 eV), and better data retention ability (124 °C for 10 yr). Furthermore, Al1.3Sb3Te shows fast phase change s…
Graphene layers were grown on a C-terminated SiC (000$\overline{1}$) surface in a high-pressure Ar atmosphere. Their growth mechanism was investigated using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). First at a low temperature, local areas of SiC surface are decomposed, and several layers of graphene nucl…
This work demonstrates the processing and characterization of the transparent and highly electrically conductive film using few-walled carbon nanotubes (FWCNTs) decorated with Pd nanoparticles as fillers. The approach included functionalizing the FWCNTs, immersing them in an aqueous solution of palladate salts, and su…
A series of neutral, 5-coordinate pyrrolyldipyrrinato Sn(IV) complexes have been synthesized via reaction of a pyrrolyldipyrrin, or its corresponding hydrochloride salt, with dibutyltin or diphenyltin oxide. The complexes are structurally unique in that all three nitrogen atoms of the pyrrolyldipyrrinato ligand bind t…
Nature has created an array of superhydrophobic surfaces that possess water-repellent, self-cleaning and anti-icing properties. These surfaces have a number of potential applications in the biomedical industry, as they have the potential to control protein adsorption and cell adhesion. Natural superhydrophobic surface…
Tissue-engineered blood vessels have mainly relied on endothelial cells (ECs), smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and biocompatible materials. However, long-term results have revealed several material-related failures, such as stenosis, thromboembolization, and the risk of infection. Furthermore, SMCs from elderly persons ha…
To examine the influence of metal nanoparticles on the photoluminescence of semiconductors, colloidal mixtures of CdS and Au nanoparticles were prepared with different CdS/Au fractions. Compared to the cadmium-sulfide nanocrystals (quantum efficiency ≅ 7%), the CdS/Au mixtures showed enhanced luminescence properties (…
