The consequences on certain physical properties of controlled levels of epoxidation of the poly(isoprene) blocks in poly(styrene- b -isoprene) (PS-PI) diblock copolymers and poly(isoprene) (hPI) homopolymers have been studied, where the products after epoxidation are denoted PS-PIxn and hPIxn, respectively. The effect…
In this paper, we report on the Ag nanoparticle-containing hybrid poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (PNIPAM-co-PAA) microgels with pH- and thermoresponsive metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF). The hybrid microgels were prepared by in situ reducing Ag salts to Ag nanoparticles in the PNIPAM-co-PAA microgels. Ac…
A light-addressable gold electrode modified with CdS and FePt or with CdS@FePt nanoparticles via an interfacial dithiol linker layer is presented. XPS measurements reveal that trans-stilbenedithiol provides high-quality self-assembled monolayers compared to benzenedithiol and biphenyldithiol, in case they are formed a…
We perform molecular dynamics simulations on a bead-spring model of pure polymer grafted nanoparticles (PGNs) and of a blend of PGNs with a polymer melt to investigate the correlation between PGN design parameters (such as particle core concentration, polymer grafting density, and polymer length) and properties, such…
The role of the nitrogen atom on the electronic and magnetic couplings of the mono-oxidized and bi-oxidized pyridine-containing complex models [2,6-{Cp(dpe)Fe-C≡C-}(2)(NC(5)H(3))](n+) and [3,5-{Cp(dpe)Fe-C≡C-}(2)(NC(5)H(3))](n+) is theoretically tackled with the aid of density-functional theory (DFT) and multireferenc…
The syntheses of a new cyclen-based ligand L(2) containing four N-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl]acetamide pendant arms and of its lanthanide(III) complexes [LnL(2)(H(2)O)]Cl(3) (Ln = La, Eu, Tb, Yb, or Lu) are reported, together with a comparison with some Ln(III) complexes of a previously reported analogue L(1) in which…
All-electron relativistic density functional theory (DFT) calculations on CO oxidation catalyzed by 55-atom gold nanoclusters (Au 55 ) have revealed that all of neutral, anionic, and cationic Au 55 clusters exhibit stronger catalytic efficiency toward CO oxidation at low temperatures. High spin energy profiles and spi…
Carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets or buckypapers have demonstrated promising electrical conductivity and mechanical performance. However, their electrical conductivity is still far below the requirements for engineering applications, such as using as a substitute for copper mesh, which is currently used in composite aircra…
Abstract Triple dielectric and magnetic resonance behaviors have been observed and studied in Co microflowers within a frequency range of 0.1–18.0 GHz. To characterize such triple‐resonance behaviors, the dielectric resonance was resolved by fitting the Lorentzian dispersion law, magnetic resonance spectra was fitted…
Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are an important technological system, as well as a fascinating system for studying basic principles of nanomaterials synthesis; yet despite continuing efforts for the past decade many important questions about this process remain largely unexplained. We present a series of p…
A combination of synchrotron μ-XRD-CT and μ-absorption-CT (CT = computed tomography) is demonstrated, providing a unique insight into the solid state changes occurring from within crystalline materials. Specifically, we examine here the solid state changes that occur in a millimetre-sized Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst body in b…
(-)-Sparteine is a proven organocatalyst for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of l-lactide, which affords polymers of controlled molecular weight and narrow polydispersity. The recent worldwide shortage of (-)-sparteine has necessitated the identification of simple and cost-effective replacement ROP catalysts. A…
In this study, a novel bilayer scaffold composed of electrospun polycaprolactone and poly(lacto-co-glycolic acid) (PCL/PLGA) membrane and glutaraldehyde (3.5% v/v) cross-linked chitosan/gelatin hydrogel was fabricated using two methods: electrospinning of the membrane onto the lyophilized hydrogel (BS-1) and membrane…
We present the design and synthesis of Ca-rich Ca-Al-O oxides, with Ca(2+)/Al(3+) ratios of 1:1, 3:1, 5:1, and 7:1, which were prepared by hydrothermal decomposition of coprecipitated hydrotalcite-like Ca-Al-CO(3) precursors, for high-temperature CO(2) adsorption at 500-700 °C. In situ X-ray diffraction measurements i…
In this article, alkane-in-water emulsions have been utilized as templates for polymerization of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (dopamine) and l -3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ( l -dopa). The resulting polymer structures are clearly dependent on the concentration of OH ions, i.e., pH, on the surfaces of the oil droplets,…
Radical thiol-yne chemistry is used for the modification of microporous networks with aliphatic alcohols. The degree of functionalization can be tuned by varying the reacted amount of thiol. Porosity analysis indicates that the microporosity can be preserved within a certain range, however, a decrease in pore size is…
We report the surface wettability and morphology of conductive polymer films obtained by electrodeposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (i.e., PEDOT) derivatives containing an alkyl chain (PEDOTH n with n = 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12) or a phenyl (PEDOTPh) group in the 2-position. Even if the general approach in the l…
A peptide amphiphile (PA) C16-KTTKS, containing a pentapeptide headgroup based on a sequence from procollagen I attached to a hexadecyl lipid chain, self-assembles into extended nanotapes in aqueous solution. The tapes are based on bilayer structures, with a 5.2 nm spacing. Here, we investigate the effect of addition…
A novel anionic heptadecanuclear silver(I) cluster, (NH(4))(17)[(μ(6)-S)@Ag(17)(mba)(16)]·22H(2)O (1; H(2)mba = 2-mercaptobenzoic acid), was obtained by the reaction of equivalent molar silver oxide and 2,2'-dithiodibenzoic acid (H(2)dtba) under ultrasonic conditions at 50 °C. Complex 1 is a discrete cluster comprised…
Mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) are a promising material for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. In this paper multifunctional MSNs with cleavable Gd(III) chelates are synthesized and characterized, and their applicability as MRI contrast agents is demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. The MSNs co…
