Excited-state relaxation process of free-base and oxovanadium naphthalocyanine (H(2)Nc and VONc) in solutions and in polymer films was studied by transient absorption measurements. In polymer films only H-aggregate was observed with H(2)Nc with increasing its weight fraction, whereas VONc formed both H- and J-type agg…
Abstract In this article, an attempt has been made to study the applicability of using organo nanoclay (Cloisite 30B) and carbon black (HAF, N330) in chlorinated isobutyl isoprene rubber vulcanizates. Statistical design of experimentation was adopted so that maximum information can be obtained from a minimum number of…
Abstract Optically active polythiophene (PT*) is successfully prepared by electrochemical polymerization using a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) electrolyte solution. Polarizing optical microscopy observations of the polymer reveal a well‐resolved fingerprint texture similar to the optical texture of the CLC. Circula…
We quantify the effects of interface roughness and superlattice period on thermoelectric electron filtering in superlattices, using the nonequilibrium Green's function method with a realistic description of the interface. In contrast with previous suggestions, we find that rough interfaces do not enhance the power fac…
Cu-doped and undoped ZnO nanowires have been successfully fabricated at 600 degrees C using a vapor transport approach. Comprehensive structural analyses on as-fabricated nanowires reveal highly crystalline ZnO nanowires with 0.5 at. % of substitutional Cu doping. Ferromagnetism has been observed in Cu-doped ZnO nanow…
Optical emission spectroscopy is used to investigate the oxidation of a hot-pressed ZrB 2 -SiC ultrahigh-temperature ceramic composite tested in the 1.2 MW Plasmatron facility at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. Time-resolved spectra enable the in situ detection and temporal characterization of electronica…
The mechanism of fluorescence enhancements of fiber-optic biosensor with metallic nanoparticles is studied using scattering theory of evanescent waves by a metallic nanoparticle in dilute solution approximation. High local-field enhancement in the vicinity of metallic nanoparticles resulting from localized surface pla…
Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) can be operated using liquid methanol directly as a fuel. However, DMFCs face two major technical hurdles, namely, slow anodic methanol oxidation kinetics and methanol crossover across the polymer electrolyte membrane. Commercial membranes, such as Nafion, are expensive and more than…
Dielectric and polarization behaviour of electro-active paper (EAPap) were studied to understand the detailed material behaviour of EAPap as a novel smart material. It was revealed that the dielectric constant of EAPap was temperature and frequency dependent. The largest change in the dielectric constant was observed…
Currently used imaging modalities such as scintigraphy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography require the sufficient intensity of a corresponding signal from an area of interest to differentiate this area from the surrounding tissues. Targeting of various reporter moieties directly to the…
The phylogenetic position of diatoms belonging to the genus Attheya is presently under debate. Species belonging to this genus have been placed in the subclasses Chaetocerotophycidae and Biddulphiophycidae, but published phylogenetic trees based on 18S rDNA, morphology, and sexual reproduction indicate that this group…
Here we show that hierarchical structures based on one-dimensional filaments such as carbon nanotubes lead to superior thermal management networks, capable of effectively mitigating high-density ultrasmall nanoscale heat sources through volumetric heat sinks at micrometer and larger scales. The figure of merit of heat…
Cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots were prepared in high-temperature water via a rapid hot-injection method intended to mimic conventional synthesis in organic solvents. The nanocrystals were smaller than those previously produced hydrothermally under nonisothermal conditions when using the same process parameters.…
Mesomorphic structure formation of hydrogen-bonded complexes of amino substituted 1,3,5-triazines with complementary (semiperfluoro)alkoxybenzoic acids is presented. The substitution pattern of both components was modified systematically in order to elucidate the influence of molecular parameters on the mesophase morp…
A simple method was developed for the reversible and selective modification of metallic and large diameter semiconducting SWCNTs in [BMIM]PF(6) ionic liquids by adding certain anion surfactants. The electronic band structure of SWCNTs can be controlled and tuned over a range by varying the surfactants used and their c…
Nanosized multilayered silica vesicles have been synthesized through a dual-template way by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and C 3 F 7 O(CFCF 3 CF 2 O) 2 CFCF 3 CONH(CH 2 ) 3 N + (C 2 H 5 ) 2 CH 3 I − (FC-4) as the cotemplates and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) as the siliceous precursor. According to tr…
The microphase separation of diblock copolymers synthesized by reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization, containing one monodisperse block (poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA) and one polydisperse block (poly(butyl acrylate), PBA), was investigated in thin films (<100 nm). The formation of o…
The low-temperature behavior of proteins under high pressure is not as extensively investigated as that at ambient pressure. In this paper, we study the dynamics of a hydrated protein under moderately high pressures at low temperatures using the quasielastic neutron scattering method. We show that when applying pressu…
Utilization of waste tire rubber in the manufacture of particleboard was investigated, using the same method as that used in the wood-based panel industry. The manufacturing parameters were: a specific gravity of 0.65 and waste tire rubber content (10/90, 20/80, and 30/70 by wt% of waste tire rubber/wood particle). Tw…
The sign-reversing fully gapped superconducting state, which is expected to be realized in oxypnictide superconductors, can be prominently affected by nonmagnetic impurities due to the interband scattering of Cooper pairs. We study this problem based on the isotropic two-band BCS model: in oxypnictide superconductors,…
