An unprecedented one-pot procedure employing a cyclopentadienyl functionalized RAFT agent allowed the grafting of poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide) - a highly functional and biocompatible polymer - from the surface of pristine SWCNTs. The pendant carboxylic acid groups of the surface grafted polymer were further conjuga…

A prerequisite for in vivo fluorescence imaging is the safety of fluorescent probes. Among all fluorescent probes, fluorescent proteins (FPs) might be the safest ones, which have been widely used in biological sciences at the gene level. But FPs have not been used in vivo in the purified form yet due to the instabilit…

We investigate the absorption of a pure gas into a liquid in laminar flow past a superhydrophobic surface consisting of alternating solid walls and micro-bubbles. We experimentally measure and numerically estimate the dynamic mass transfer of gas absorption at stable gas–liquid interfaces for short contacting times. W…

Synthesis of metal nanoparticles (NPs) is in the limelight in modern nanotechnology. In this present study, bimetallic Au/Pd NP/Pichia pastoris composites were successfully fabricated through a one-pot microbial reduction of aqueous HAuCl4 and PdCl2 in the presence of H2 as an electron donor. Interestingly, flower-lik…

Two benzoporphyrin derivatives substituted with long side chains at the bay positions have been synthesized through a facile route. They were confirmed to show two separate columnar phases upon cooling, i.e., a hexagonal columnar phase and a rectangular columnar phase. In particular, the temperature dependence of the…

The configuration of graphene nano-ribbon (GNR) assembly on carbon nanotube (CNT) and sphere is studied through theoretical modeling and molecular simulation. The GNR can spontaneously wind onto the CNT due to van der Waals (vdW) interaction and form two basic configurations: helix and scroll. The final configuration…

Conjugated thiophene azomethines with different degrees of polymerization were prepared. Both the molecular weights and polydispersity indices were consistent with step-growth polymerization instead of the expected dynamic component exchange by transimination. It was found that the absorbance of the neutral compounds…

Here we present CVD growth of graphene on Ni and investigate the growth mechanism using isotopically labeled (13)C-ethanol as the precursor. Results show that during low-pressure alcohol catalytic CVD (LP-ACCVD), a growth time of less than 30 s yields graphene films with high surface coverage (>80%). Moreover, when is…
