Hybrid composites of polypropylene reinforced with bamboo and glass fibers (BGRP) were fabricated using an intermeshing counter rotating twin screw extruder followed by injection molding. Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) has been used as a coupling agent to improve the interfacial interaction between the…
The interaction of the strong electron-acceptor tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) with the Cu(100) surface has been studied with scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and first-principles density functional theory calculations. We compare two different adsorption models with the experimental results and show that the mole…
We explore the hybridization of fundamental material resonances with the artificial resonances of metamaterials. A hybrid structure is presented in the waveguide environment that consists of a resonant magnetic material with a characteristic tuneable gyromagnetic response that is integrated into a complementary split…
The quasistatic behavior of a simple 2D model of a cohesive powder under isotropic loads is investigated by Discrete Element simulations. The loose packing states, as studied in a previous paper, undergo important structural changes under growing confining pressure P, while solid fraction Φirreversibly increases by la…
The inability of systems of interacting objects to satisfy all constraints simultaneously leads to frustration. A particularly important consequence of frustration is the ability to access certain protected parts of a system without disturbing the others. For magnets such "protectorates" have been inferred from theory…
Band structure parameters such as the conduction band edge, the valence band edge and the quasi-particle gap of diffusing CdSe quantum dots (Q-dots) of various sizes were determined using cyclic voltammetry. These parameters are strongly dependent on the size of the Q-dots. The results obtained from voltammetric measu…
Abstract Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been suggested as a powerful tool to identify bacteria, drawing from its high fingerprint (vibrational) information content, its extreme sensitivity (down to the single molecule level) and its obliviousness to the aqueous environment intrinsic to biological syste…
To harness the full spectrum of solar energy, Fresnel reflection at the surface of a solar cell must be eliminated over the entire solar spectrum and at all angles. Here, we show that a multilayer nanostructure having a graded-index profile, as predicted by theory [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 66, 515 (1976); Appl. Opt. 46, 6533…
Fine tungsten powder with an average size of 8 μm was coated by electroless nickel plating with hydrazine and sodium hypophosphite reducing agents to obtain Ni and Ni–P coatings, respectively. The influence of process parameters such as temperature, pH and time of electroless plating was investigated. As coated compos…
The database of 3D interacting domains (3did) is a collection of protein interactions for which high-resolution 3D structures are known. 3did exploits structural information to provide the crucial molecular details necessary for understanding how protein interactions occur. Besides interactions between globular domain…
First systematic spin probe ESR study of water freezing has been conducted using TEMPOL and TEMPO as the probes. The spin probe signature of the water freezing has been described in terms of the collapse of narrow triplet spectrum into a single broad line. This spin probe signature of freezing has been observed at an…
First-principles quasi-harmonic calculations play a very important role in mineral physics because they can accurately predict the structure and thermodynamic properties of materials at pressure and temperature conditions that are still challenging for experiments. It also enables calculations of thermoelastic propert…
Abstract A new hierarchical nanostructure was created by self-assembly of a double liquid crystalline side-chain type block copolymer. The block copolymer was successfully prepared via a nitroxide-mediated living free radical polymerization and formed double ordered layers within a phase-separated lamellar structure o…
For favorable thermodynamics and the considerable kinetics of the hydrogen reaction, Li−Mg−N−H compounds hold promise as novel hydrogen storage materials for on-board usage in metal amide hydrogen storage systems. To improve their performance, much effort has been devoted to the fundamental properties of metal amides,…
The liquid-liquid interface between semifluorinated alkane diblock copolymers of the form F3C(CF2)n-1-(CH2)m-1CH3 and water, protonated alkanes, and perfluorinated alkanes are studied by fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. A modified version of the OPLS-AA (Optimized Parameter for Liquid Simulation All-Ato…
The adsorption of H 2O, alcohols (CH 3OH and 1-octanol), and carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, and pentanoic) on beta-Ga 2O 3 nanoribbons has been studied using infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) and/or ab initio computational modeling. Adsorption energies and geometries are sensitive to surface struc…
We report a method to determine the particle size distribution of small colloidal silica spheres via analytical ultracentrifugation and show that the average particle size, variance, standard deviation, and relative polydispersity can be obtained from a single sedimentation velocity (SV) analytical ultracentrifugation…
We have fabricated density-controlled ZnO nanorod arrays on a flexible substrate (Teflon) using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching with anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes and microwave irradiation without using a catalyst at 90 °C. The average interpore distances of Si surface etched with an AAO membrane anod…
The planar component of 2-{3-cyano-4-[3-(1-decyl-1,4-dihydroquinolin-4-ylidene)prop-1-enyl]-5,5-dimethyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ylidene}malononitrile, C(32)H(46)N(4)O, (I), forms into layers parallel to the (\overline{1}01) plane. The larger of the two spaces between layers is filled by the alkyl chains, giving a ;sandwic…
Abstract The formation of silicic acid–tiron complexes was predicted based on the increase in the solubility of amorphous silica in aqueous tiron solution near neutral pH compared with aqueous sodium chloride solutions of the same pH. A 6-coordinated silicic acid–tiron complex was detected by 29Si NMR and the composit…
