A series of novel hyperbranched polyselenides and polytellurides with multiple catalytic sites at the branching units has been synthesized via the polycondensation of A2 + B3 monomers. The GPx-like activities of these polymer mimics were assessed and it was found that the polytellurides showed higher GPx-like activiti…

We report the design and development of a new class of alkoxyphenacyl based photodegradable polycarbonates. These polymers incorporate the photoactive moiety in the backbone and, when irradiated at 300 nm, undergo controlled chain scission. Micropatterned thin films of these polymers were fabricated by photolithograph…

This paper reports the effect of precursor concentration, growth temperature, and growth time on the size and density of ZnO nanowire arrays (ZNAs). The well-aligned ZNAs were grown on indium tin oxide substrate using a facile chemical bath deposition method. The results showed that the ZnO nanowires could be tailored…

After preparing catechol or biphenyl derivatives possessing two 2,3-difluoro-1,4-diphenylbenzene units, we investigated the phase transition behaviour of their mixture with a chiral additive with a high twisting power. Their transition behaviour was dependent on the methylene number in the spacer. Both derivatives pos…

Dimers of metal nanospheres are well-known for their characteristic anisotropic optical response. Here, we demonstrate in single-particle SERS experiments that individual gold trimers and 3D superstructures exhibit a polarization-independent SERS response. This optical behavior of single particle clusters provides con…

Exposure to controlled doses (~4.65 × 10(-3) to 2.79 × 10(-2) nC/μm(2) ion fluence) of Ga ions via a focused ion beam (FIB) deoxygenates graphene oxide (GO) and increases the electrical conductivity in 100 × 100 μm(2) patches by several orders of magnitude compared to that in unexposed GO. Raman spectra and the carbon…

We propose an innovative active imaging device named gain-assisted hybrid-superlens hyperlens and examine its resolving power theoretically. This semi-cylindrical device consists of a core of semi-cylindrical super-lens and a half cylindrical outer shell of hyperlens. Both the superlens and hyperlens parts of the devi…

Abstract In this paper, bead-on-string microstructures are fabricated by the mechano-electrospinning (MES) process in a continuously tunable manner. The thin jet is pulled onto the substrate by the stable electric field force and tunable mechanical drawing force, and then the bead-on-string structures are generated by…

Symmetries play a crucial role in the theoretical analysis and visualization of the five macroscopic grain boundary parameters, including the misorientation (three parameters) and the orientation of the boundary-plane (two parameters). The symmetry aspects of the misorientation spaces are very well documented and in t…

In this paper, we propose a new route to super-thin electromagnetic cloaks based on microwave networks. The cloak is composed of microstrip-connected metallic patches wrapping the cloaked object. Under illumination, EM waves are coupled into the cloaking layer, transferred around the cloaked object and finally retrans…

We present a theoretical model for predicting equilibrium wetting configurations of two-dimensional droplets on periodically grooved hydrophobic surfaces. The main advantage of our model is that it accounts for pinning/depinning of the contact line at step edges, a feature that is not captured by the Cassie and Wenzel…
