Abstract This study investigates the preparation, characterization, and mechanical properties of nanocomposites prepared from poly(lactic acid) (PLA), an organoclay, hereafter referred to as Clay, and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) by melt compounding in a co‐rotating type, twin screw extruder. The molecular weight of the…
The adsorption of a glycine molecule on a model silica surface terminated by an isolated hydroxyl group has been studied ab initio using a double-zeta polarized Gaussian basis set, the hybrid B3LYP functional, and a full periodic treatment of the silica surface/glycine system. The hydroxylated silica surface has been…
Intelligent design? Depending on the starting pH, ultralong nanofibers (see picture; left) or patterns of concentric circles (right) are produced in the polymer-controlled crystallization of BaCO3. The ring patterns are the first examples of nanoparticle self-organization that can be described by a Belousov–Zhabotinsk…
Round up: A fully conjugated cyclododeca-2,7-carbazole is prepared around a porphyrin template and the corresponding empty macrocycle then released. Single molecules could be visualized by STM (see image) and their arrangement by atomic force microscopy. The macrocycles self-assemble into a hexagonal array of columns.…
A range of iron binding dendrimers terminated with hexadentate ligands formed from hydroxypyridinone, hydroxypyranone, and catechol moieties have been synthesized in order to investigate their potential as clinically useful iron(III)-selective chelators capable of removing dietary iron from the gastrointestinal tract…
Playing the field: Application of an electric field to the thermodynamic equilibria of constitutionally dynamic sets of imines and amines that contain an imine with liquid-crystalline properties and a negative dielectric anisotropy leads to the amplification of the constituent that couples most strongly to the electri…
Vulcanizates of natural rubber (NR) and its synthetic analogue (IR) were quickly stretched to 6 times the original length. The post stretch relaxation of tensile stress and the development of strain-induced crystallization (SIC) were studied by simultaneous measurements of the stress and the diffraction intensities us…
Abstract A new triphenylamine‐containing diamine monomer, 4,4′‐diamino‐4″‐ tert ‐butyltriphenylamine, was successfully synthesized by the cesium fluoride‐mediated N,N ‐diarylation of 4‐ tert ‐butylaniline with 4‐fluoronitrobenzene, followed by the reduction of the nitro group. The obtained diamine monomer was reacted…
A good beginning is half the battle. Combined experimental and theoretical studies concerning the dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons by [V3O7]+ underline the decisive role of the initial CH activation step. Propane is found to be unreactive, whereas 1-butene rapidly reacts with [V3O7]+ (see picture).
Linearly sloped or "ramp" potentials belong to a class of core-softened models which possess a liquid-liquid critical point (LLCP) in addition to the usual liquid-gas critical point. Furthermore, they exhibit thermodynamic anomalies in their density and compressibility, the nature of which may be akin to those occurri…
The electron-conduction properties of fullerene chains are examined by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The conductivity of the C$_{60}$ dimer is low owing to the constraint of the junction of the molecules on electron conduction, whereas the C$_{60}$ monomer exhibits a conductance…
Silver nanoparticle aggregates were synthesized in large scale using resorcinol under alkaline condition to obtain an assembly of silver clusters. Stable dispersion of the cluster in aqueous medium has been examined out of resorcinol-capped silver nanoparticle assemblies. The UV-vis spectroscopy during the particle ev…
The synergy between the electrical conductivity within the stacks of Ni(dmit)2 in the newly electrocrystallized [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(dmit)2]3.CH3CN.H2O and the spin conversion of Fe(qsal)2 is evidenced. In addition, the presence of a light-induced excited spin state trapping effect suggests that this complex is a prototypal…
We report on our progress towards continuum rate equation modeling, as well as numerical simulations, of self-healing of fatigue in composites reinforced with glue carrying nanoporous fibers. We conclude that with the proper choice of the material parameters, effects of fatigue can be partially overcome and degradatio…
We investigate the current-excited magnetization dynamics in a narrow ferromagnetic Permalloy wire by means of Lorentz microscopy, together with the results of simultaneous transport measurements. A detailed structural evolution of the magnetization is presented as a function of the applied current density. Local stru…
Transient magnetotransport of two-dimensional electrons with partially-inverted distribution excited by an ultrashort optical pulse is studied theoretically. The time-dependent photoconductivity is calculated for GaAs-based quantum wells by taking into account the relaxation of electron distribution caused by non-elas…
We show that meso-to-meso ethyne-bridged (porphinato)zinc(II) oligomers (PZnn structures) define exceptional low band gap organic materials that possess both large magnitude NIR S1 --> S0 fluorescence quantum yields and substantial S1 --> Sn absorptive cross-sections, tunable over a wide 850-1400 nm spectral window. T…
A novel microwave-assisted method of growth of high-quality CdTe/CdS core-shell nanocrystals in the aqueous phase is presented in this paper. The photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) is greatly enhanced by epitaxial growth of the CdS shell. Under optimum conditions, the PLQY of as-prepared nanocrystals reaches as hi…
A three barrier resonant tunneling structure in which the two quantum wells are formed by a dilute magnetic semiconductor material (ZnMnSe) with a giant Zeeman splitting of the conduction band is theoretically investigated. Self-consistent numerical simulations of the structure predict giant magnetocurrent in the reso…
Through numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, we demonstrate that magnetic chains with uniaxial anisotropy support stable structures, separating ferromagnetic domains of opposite magnetization. These structures, domain walls in a quantum system, are shown to remain stable if they interact with…
