Abstract A dielectric response by an intermolecular –N···H···O–proton transfer was observed around 120 K for (Chloranilic acid)(1,2-Diazine)2 [CA(1,2-DA)2]. This response, observed on the way of the migration from N–H···O at 300 K to O–H···N below 90 K, was demonstrated by infrared absorption spectra and the temperatu…
A molecular dynamics simulation (MD) of a generic model for polymers adsorbed on a discrete surface is presented. We investigate the effect of surface roughness on the film's diffusion constant, its influence on aging, and other properties. The model reproduces many experimentally observed features such as logarithmic…
The contrasting photophysical properties of two silicon (IV) tetraphenylporphyrins, Si(TPP)(py)2 and Si(TPP)Cl2, have been investigated using static absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy and ultrafast transient absorption measurements. The parent Si(TPP)Cl2, in which the porphyrin macrocycle has its normal 2- oxida…
Conditional photofragmentation is achieved with binary systems incorporating the isophthaloyl bis-aminopyridine barbiturate recognition motif and dithiane- or trithiane-based photolabile modules, which cleave only in the presence of an external sensitizer. The components of the host-guest molecular recognition pair we…
Hydrogels containing divinyl sulfone (DVS)-crosslinked hyaluronan (HA) (hylans) are potentially useful implant biomaterials because of their non-cytotoxicity and -antigenicity. However, to successfully fulfill their intended role in vivo, their properties (e.g., mechanics, pore size, surface topography, hydrophilicity…
Abstract An efficient yellow-emitting phosphor, Eu2+-doped Ba2Mg(PO4)2, is reported. Its excitation band is extending from 250 to 450 nm, which is adaptable to the emission band of near-UV LED chips (350–420 nm). Upon 367-nm light excitation, the phosphor exhibits a strong yellow emission centered at 576 nm. A bright…
Electronic structure calculations were performed to examine the origin of a band gap present in most 18-electron half-Heusler compounds and its absence in NaTl. In these compounds of diamond-like structures, the presence or absence of a band gap is controlled by the sigma antibonding between the valence s orbitals, an…
Abstract A stable biomimetic superhydrophobic surface on magnesium alloy was fabricated by microarc oxidation pretreatment and followed by chemical modification based on lotus effect. The as-prepared surface showed an interesting micro- and nanoscale binary structure, exhibiting a good superhydrophobic property with a…
Changes in the crystal growth mechanism were observed in pseudo-dewetted, thin layers of low molecular weight (MW) poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) on a hydrophilic mica surface. The studies were conducted using two PEO fractions (HPEO and MHPEO) with similar MW's (number-average MW of around 4500 g/mol) but different end-g…
The hemocompatibility of polymeric vascular implants is in part dependent on the propensity of fibrinogen to adsorb to the implant surface. Fibrinogen surface adsorption was measured in real time using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). Six new, biodegradable tyrosine-derived polycarbon…
The effect of isovalent chemical substitution of Eu3+ into the Tb3+ sites on the magnetic and electrical properties of (Tb1-xEux)MnO3 (0 </= x </= 1.0) system has been investigated. The orthorhombic structure with space group Pbnm is observed in this series of materials. An increase in Mn-O bond distance with increasi…
We investigate the cooperative behavior of two carbene additions to a (5,5) armchair single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) and find that in certain configurations, double additions are more stable than uncorrelated distant double additions by 7 to 24 kcal/mol. We also find certain configurations to be very unstable. We…
We present a thermokinetic description of anomalous diffusion of single particles and clusters in a viscoelastic medium in terms of a non-Markovian diffusion equation involving memory functions. The scaling behavior of these functions is analyzed by considering hydrodynamics and cluster-size space random walk argument…
Orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ODCase) has evolved to catalyze the decarboxylation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate without any covalent intermediates. Active site residues in ODCase are involved in an extensive hydrogen-bonding network. We discovered that 6-iodouridine 5'-monophosphate (6-iodo-UMP) irreversib…
Our objective was to characterize the variations of tofu textural profiles as affected by physical parameters and to correlate the data with that of the sensory method. The textural profiles of 13 selected tofu types were characterized using various crosshead speeds and 2 degrees of penetration using an Instron univer…
We report the efficient aqueous dispersion of pristine HiPco single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with ionic liquid (IL)-based surfactants 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (1) and 1-(12-mercaptododecyl)-3-methylimidazolium bromide (2), the thiolation of nanotube sidewalls with 2, and the controlled self-assembl…
Cartilage regeneration using a fibroin sponge and a stirring chamber was investigated to improve the potential of articular cartilage tissue engineering. Chondrocytes seeded on the fibroin-sponge scaffolds were cultured in the stirring chamber (a bioreactor facilitating mechanical stimulation) for up to 3 weeks. Chang…
A gradient combinatorial approach was used to examine the effect of substrate surface energy on the morphology and stability of films of a poly(isoprene-b-styrene-b-ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer that exhibits an alternating gyroid morphology in the bulk. Atomic force microscopy data across our surface energy (wat…
Phenosafranine and safranine have been oxidized with ammonium peroxydisulfate in acidic aqueous solution. The oxidative coupling of both safranines was proved by gel permeation chromatography demonstrating the presence of oligomeric chains of mass-average molar masses 6500 and 4500 g mol-1 for polyphenosafranine and p…
The growth of covalently bonded nitrophenyl layers on atomically smooth boron-doped single-crystalline diamond surfaces is characterized using cyclic voltammetric attachment and constant-potential grafting by electrochemical reduction of aryl diazonium salts. We apply atomic force microscopy (AFM) in contact mode to r…
