Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) have demonstrated protection properties against oxidation in various cells and tissues. The mechanism of this, however, is poorly understood. Monitoring the interaction of CONPs with biological compartments ‘in situ’ is crucial to understand their biochemical and physiological proper…
Electroactive polymers have applications in tissue engineering as a physical template for cell adhesion and carry electrical signals to improve tissue regeneration. Present study demonstrated the biocompatibility and biodegradability of poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PLGA-PHT) blend electrospun sca…
This paper develops a robust method for the facile synthesis of transparent superhydrophobic TiO2 film by using the flame soot layer as a nanoimprint template. After the nanoimprint and calcination process, the TiO2 coating exhibited the inverse roughness structure of the soot layer with high transparent properties. A…
A new β-diketone, 5,6-dimethoxy-2(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-1-indone (5,6-DTFI), has been designed and synthesized. Two series of four 5,6-DTFI Sm(3+) and Eu(3+) complexes, namely, Eu(5,6-DTFI)3(H2O)2 (1), Eu(5,6-DTFI)3(Phen) (2), Sm(5,6-DTFI)3(H2O)2 (3) and Sm(5,6-DTFI)3(Phen) (4) (Phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been…
Photocorrosion-resistant tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanoflake arrays were synthesized via a new route which involves the dealloying of an electrodeposited Fe–W amorphous alloy and subsequent thermal treatment in air. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were employed to evaluate the surface capacitive characteristics. The int…
Owing to the surface plasmon resonance-enhanced electromagnetic field, clustered gold nanoparticles-fluorescent silica core-shell nanoparticles became excited within the therapeutic window and fluoresced strongly in this window. The nanoparticles enabled tumor detection using fluorescence imaging and X-ray computed to…
Polymeric micelles and shell crosslinked knedel-like (SCK) nanoparticles were loaded with up to 48% (w/w) cisplatin. These spherical cisplatin-loaded nanoparticles displayed sustained platinum release over 5 days in PBS, enhanced stability over free cisplatin in aqueous milieu, and significant antitumor activity in vi…
In this paper, π-π conjugated cinnamic acid (CIN) was used as a lipophilic moiety to fabricate polymeric micelles. The amphiphiles with one or two cinnamic acid molecules as lipophilic architectures (mPEG-CIN and mPEG-Lys-DCIN) were synthesized. We expressly investigated the effect of the lipophilic parts on size, mor…
Employing previously published experimental data, we analyse the enhanced conductivity of the heterostructure comprising yttria-stabilised zirconia (YSZ) and SrTiO3. We confirm that the heterostructure's conductivity arises from SrTiO3, and we conclude that it is exclusively ionic below T ∼ 540 K. The calculated exces…
Using a variant of the HETPHEN concept, heteroleptic 2D and 3D metallosupramolecular structures, such as tweezer T, grid G and tetragonal prism P, were fabricated quantitatively and characterised by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, (1)H-(1)H COSY, DOSY as well as ESI-MS. All structures encapsulate C60, with P showing the highest…
Bodipy is used for the preparation of Pt(II) bisacetylide complexes which show strong absorption of visible light and long-lived triplet state. Room temperature (RT) near-IR phosphorescence of Bodipy was observed. The π-conjugation framework of visible light-harvesting Bodipy ligand was connected to the Pt(II) center…
A supramolecular strategy has been applied to construct two tetranuclear lanthanide complexes for investigating the magnetic properties of individual lanthanide ions. The Ln(III) complexes (Ln = Dy, Tb) display field-induced slow magnetization relaxation, typical of single-molecule magnet behavior. The four lanthanide…
Blending of polyamide 6/high density polyethylene (PA6/HDPE=70/30 wt%) was prepared by melt compounding using a twin screw extruder followed by injection molding using HDPE-g-MAH served as compatibilizer. A series combination of PA6/HDPE with HDPE-g-MAH were blended with varied composition of 100/0, 98/2, 96/4, 94/6 a…
We present a molecular dynamic simulation on the mechanical strength and fracture behavior of graphene grain boundaries (GBs). The intrinsic strength, critical failure strain, and failure mechanism of graphene GBs mainly rely on the temperature and inflection angle, whereas the Young's modulus does not vary significan…
Underwater spark-discharge methods have been widely utilized for experimental studies in many fields such as material processing, water treatment, and cavitation bubble dynamics. However, the precise control of bubble size using this method has been difficult. This poses challenges to better understand the complex int…
A series of isostructural octanuclear lanthanide complexes of general formula [Ln8(sao)4(μ3-OH)4(NO3)12(DMF)12] (Ln = Nd (), Sm (), Eu (), Gd (), Tb (), Dy (), Ho (), Er (); DMF = dimethylformamide) have been prepared via reactions of salicylaldoxime (saoH2), tetramethylammonium hydroxide (Me4NOH) with the appropriate…
The first examples of liquid crystalline pyrimidine-based photo-switchable bent-core monomers incorporating azobenzene as side arms linked with terminal double bonds as polymerizable functional groups are synthesized and characterized. Polarizing optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-…
We report the design of a water-soluble, quaternized tamoxifen photoprobe and demonstrate its application in light-controlled induction of green fluorescent protein expression via a Cre-ER recombinase system.
A π-conjugated tetrathiafulvalene-fused perylenediimide (TTF-PDI) molecular dyad is successfully used as a solution-processed active material for light sensitive ambipolar field-effect transistors with balanced hole and electron mobilities. The photo-response of the TTF-PDI dyad resembles its absorption profile. Wavel…
Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization techniques were used to copolymerize an F-POSS macromer with methyl methacrylate (MMA) to produce novel copolymers that possess excellent wetting-resistant behaviour and are the first examples of covalently bound F-POSS nanocomposites for improved…
