In this paper, one simple method to control two-direction anisotropic wetting by regular micropearl arrays was demonstrated. Various micropearl arrays with large area were rapidly fabricated by a kind of improved laser interference lithography. Specially, we found that the parallel contact angle (CA) theta(2) decrease…
Understanding the mechanisms of biomineralization and the realization of biology-inspired inorganic materials formation largely depends on our ability to manipulate peptide/solid interfacial interactions. Material interfaces and biointerfaces are critical sites for bioinorganic synthesis, surface diffusion, and molecu…
Subnanometer photoluminescent gold quantum dots (GQDs) are functionalized with a peptide moiety that contains both nuclear export signal (NES) and nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences. By taking advantage of its small size and great photostability, the functionalized GQDs are used to mimic the actions of nucleu…
Abstract Reported in this study is the successful incorporation of a hydrophilic antibiotic drug, tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), into electrospun PEG–PLA nanofibrous membrane without loss of its bioactivity. Degradation behavior of the copolymer was studied in vitro . Release behavior of TCH from the electrospun me…
The characterization of partially coherent light transmission by micrometer sized valves of marine diatoms is an interesting optical challenge and, from the biological point of view, is of outmost relevance in order to understand evolution mechanisms of such organisms. In the present work, we have studied the transmis…
A collagen peptide was designed for metal-triggered, hierarchical assembly through a radial growth mechanism. To achieve radial assembly, H-(byp)(2) containing Pro-Hyp-Gly repeating sequences and two staggered bipyridine ligands within the peptide was synthesized. Triple helix formation resulted in the placement of si…
Configurational entropy is an important parameter in amorphous systems. It is involved in the thermodynamic considerations, plays an important role in the molecular mobility calculations through its appearance in the Adam-Gibbs equation and provides information on the solubility increase of an amorphous form compared…
Wurtzite ZnO has many potential applications in optoelectronic devices, and the hydrogenated ZnO exhibits excellent photoelectronic properties compared to undoped ZnO; however, the structure of H-related defects is still unclear. In this article, the effects of hydrogen-plasma treatment and subsequent annealing on the…
Ultra thin poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) modified glass coverslips (PIAPAm-CS) using electron beam irradiation exhibited a clear relationship between the polymer thickness and thermal cell adhesion/detachment behavior. The polymer thickness dependency and the characteristic of ultra thin PIPAAm layer, has been…
This Perspective describes theoretical studies aimed at understanding the structural and thermal properties of materials in which DNA is used to link gold nanoparticles, or polymers or organic molecules. Particularly in the case of gold nanoparticles, the materials derived from this structural motif have proven to be…
Compounds [Cp*(2)M(2)O(5)] (M = Mo, 1; W, 2) are efficient pre-catalysts for cyclooctene (COE) epoxidation by aqueous H(2)O(2) in acetonitrile/toluene. The reaction is quantitative, selective and takes place approximately 50 times faster for the W system (k(obs) = 4.32(9)x10(-4) s(-1) at 55 degrees C and 3x10(-3) M co…
Nanotechnology offers promising perspectives in biomedical research as well as in clinical practice. To cover some of the latest nanotechnology trends in regenerative medicine, this review will focus on the use of nanomaterials for tissue engineering and cell therapy. Nanofibrous materials that mimic the native extrac…
Photoinduced electron transfer in self-assembled single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT)/zinc porphyrin (ZnP) hybrids utilizing (7,6)- and (6,5)-enriched SWNTs has been investigated. Toward this, first, zinc porphyrin was covalently functionalized to possess four pyrene entities (ZnP(pyr)(4)). Exfoliation of the semicond…
We present theoretical and experimental studies of Schottky diodes that use aligned arrays of single-walled carbon nanotubes. A simple physical model, taking into account the basic physics of current rectification, can adequately describe the single-tube and array devices. We show that for as-grown array diodes, the r…
Azulenocyanine, having four azulene units fused to a tetraazaporphyrin skeleton, is a structural isomer of naphthalocyanine. We synthesized the first example of an azulenocyanine from 1,3-di-tert-butyl-5,6-dicyanoazulene. The macrocycle exhibits broad absorption over the visible and near-IR regions far beyond 1000 nm.…
An extension of the synchronous parallel kinetic Monte Carlo (pkMC) algorithm developed by Martinez {\it et al} [{\it J.\ Comp.\ Phys.} {\bf 227} (2008) 3804] to discrete lattices is presented. The method solves the master equation synchronously by recourse to null events that keep all processors time clocks current i…
The reflectivity of a large ${\text{LuFe}}_{2}{\text{O}}_{4}$ single crystal has been measured with the radiation field either perpendicular or parallel to the $c$ axis of its rhombohedral structure, from 10 to 500 K, and from 7 to $16\text{ }000\text{ }{\text{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. The transition between the two-di…
The formation of one-dimensional carbon chains from graphene nanoribbons is investigated using ab initio molecular dynamics. We show under what conditions it is possible to obtain a linear atomic chain via pulling of the graphene nanoribbons. The presence of dimers composed of two-coordinated carbon atoms at the edge…
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) are a potential x-ray computed tomography (CT) contrast agent. A biocompatible and bioinactive surface is necessary for application of gold nanoparticle to CT imaging. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-attached dendrimers have been used as a drug carrier with long blood circulation. In this study,…
