In this work, we describe the design and first experimental results of a new setup that combines evaporation of liquids in ultrahigh vacuum conditions with in situ high sensitivity thermal characterization of thin films. Organic compounds are deposited from the vapor directly onto a liquid nitrogen cooled substrate, p…
We assembled multilayer films of glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) coimmobilized together with polyelectrolyte layers on the surface of silica microparticles. The influence of different polyelectrolyte combinations on the immobilization and functionality of the enzymes was examined for several mul…
Solvatochromic shifts in the absorbance and fluorescence spectra are observed when surfactant-stabilized aqueous single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) suspensions are mixed with immiscible organic solvents. When aqueous surfactant-suspended SWNTs are mixed with o-dichlorobenzene, the spectra closely match the peaks for…
Using a combination of reciprocal and real-space techniques, the structural evolution and its effect on the surface morphology is investigated for MgO films of 1--30 ML thickness epitaxially grown on Mo(001). The strain induced by the mismatch with the substrate is relieved between 1 and 7 ML MgO due to the formation…
Two structurally similar homologous series of chiral esters with partially fluorinated alkoxyalkoxy terminal chains are described. Their synthetic routes and mesomorphic properties, such as phase transitions temperatures and enthalpies, are characterized by polarizing optical microscope and differential scanning calor…
The rheology and microstructure of 44 nm diameter silica particles suspended in unentangled polyethylene oxide (PEO) melts are studied through measurement of filled melt viscosity and X-ray scattering measurement of interparticle structure factors, S ( q,ϕ c ), where q is the scattering vector and ϕ c is the silica vo…
In an exploratory search for new oxygen storage materials (OSMs), we have identified a fluorite-type solid solution series, Ce 1− x Cr x O 2+ y (0 < x ≤ 1/3), of which the x = 1/3 member, Ce 2/3 Cr 1/3 O 2.11 (oxide I ), exhibits excellent reversible oxygen release/storage properties at relatively low temperatures (∼3…
The thioether 3,3-thiodipropionic acid can be used as precursor substrate for biotechnological synthesis of 3-mercaptopropionic acid-containing polythioesters. Therefore, the hitherto unknown catabolism of this compound was elucidated to engineer novel and improved polythioester biosynthesis pathways in the future. Ba…
A fundamental investigation of the influence of novel phosphonium bromide salts within the polymer main chain (23.75 mol %) of polyurethanes was conducted to elucidate the effect of ionic associations on hard segment hydrogen bonding. A novel poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO)-based polyurethane containing a phosphoniu…
An intensified charge-couped device (CCD) camera was used to capture raw images of multibubble sonoluminescence, generated by 168 and 448 kHz ultrasound. The effect of various air and surfactant concentrations, and pulse conditions on the acoustic pressure distribution, percentage of standing wave component, the struc…
We have generalized the microscopic polymer reference interaction site model (PRISM) theory to study the structure and phase behavior of polymer-tethered spherical nanoparticles in a dense homopolymer melt. In the absence of a polymer matrix, fluids of such hybrid nanoparticles show strong concentration fluctuations i…
Time-resolved THz spectroscopy (TRTS) is employed to study the photogenerated charge-carrier dynamics in transparent films of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). Two films were investigated: a film with 94% semiconducting-type tubes (s-SWNTs) and a film with only 7% s-SWNT and 93% metal-type tubes (m-SWNTs). We co…
We have successfully synthesized the fluoroarsenide SrFeAsF, which is another parent phase with the ZrCuSiAs structure. The temperature dependence of resistivity and dc magnetization both reveal an anomaly at about ${T}_{\text{an}}=173\text{ }\text{K}$, which may correspond to the structural and/or spin-density-wave (…
Abstract Four series of polyimides I – VI with pendent triphenylamine (TPA) units having inherent viscosities of 0.44–0.88 dL/g were prepared from four diamines with two commercially available tetracarboxylic dianhydrides via a conventional two‐step procedure that included a ring‐opening polyaddition to give polyamic…
This work reports a simple hydrothermal route using citric acid as a “shape modifier” for the controlled synthesis of luminescent TbPO 4:Eu nanocrystals. The size and morphology of products change remarkably when the proportion of citric acid involved in the reaction increases. The multiple roles that citric acid play…
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with poly[2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA) side chains were synthesized via vinylidene fluoride-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of 2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). The graft copolymer can be readily cast into porous pH- and the…
Silicate nanorods (attapulgite, ATT) were organically modified and homogeneously dispersed in a cyanate ester (CE) resin. ATT dispersions and networks were characterized by rheological and microscopic measurements. Amine groups grafted onto the particle surface catalyzed the cyclotrimerization of the CE monomers and e…
Random copolymer brushes of poly(styrene- r -methyl methacrylate) (PS- r -PMMA) have previously been used to control the wetting behavior of poly(styrene- b -methyl methacrylate) (PS- b -PMMA) block copolymer. Here we demonstrate that the use of random copolymer may be generalized to other block copolymer systems. A s…
This study focused on the mechanical properties of pure sisal, pure glass, and hybrid sisal/glass compression-molded composites, in which various stacking sequences of fiber mat layers were used. It is shown that hybridization originated a material with general intermediate properties between pure glass and pure sisal…
First-principles calculations based on density functional theory have been widely used in studies of the structural, thermoelastic, rheological, and electronic properties of earth-forming materials. The exchange-correlation term, however, is implemented based on various approximations, and this is believed to be the m…
