The emergence of genomics; ongoing computational advances; and the development of large-scale sequence, structural, and functional databases have created important new interdisciplinary linkages between molecular evolution, molecular biology, and enzymology. The five minireviews in this series survey advances and chal…
The efficacy of chemotherapy can be significantly improved if the therapeutic agent remains localized at the afflicted area and released at controlled rates. Such a targeted drug delivery can be achieved using magnetic nanocomposite (MNC), which incorporates drug and magnetic nanoparticles in biodegradable polymer mic…
Abstract Ga and In co‐doped ZnO (GIZO) thin films together with ZnO, In‐doped ZnO (IZO), Ga‐doped ZnO (GZO), and IZO/GZO multilayer for comparison, were grown on corning glass and boron doped Si substrates by PLD. The photoluminescence spectra of GIZO showed a strong white light emission and the current–voltage charac…
Free surface effects on the thermodynamics and glass formation in simple monatomic supercooled liquids with the Lennard-Jones--Gauss interaction potential were studied by the molecular dynamics simulations. Glass with two free surfaces was obtained by cooling from the melt. We found the following important new results…
Taking into account that an intercalation reaction, an entropy and volume reducing process, can be promoted by increased pressure in a reactor, we developed a facile and efficient strategy for rapid preparation of DMSO and urea intercalated Kaolinites under mild reaction conditions by means of an autoclave, reducing t…
Electrospun fibrous mats have gained popularity in bioengineering over the past decade, but few papers detail their degradative mechanisms. To address this, blends of hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and hydrophilic PGA-PCL-PGA triblock copolymer were electrospun into aligned fibrous mats to assess the copolymer…
We report the fabrication of hydrogen-bonded multilayers of micelles of a dually responsive, dicationic block copolymer, poly[2-(N-morpholino)ethyl methacrylate-block-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PMEMA-b-PDPA). By taking advantage of the difference in the hydrophilicity of PMEMA and PDPA blocks, micelles w…
In semiconducting materials special boundaries play the key role in crystal growth. They introduce an abrupt structural and chemical anisotropy, which is readily reflected in an unusual microstructure evolution, whereas their local structure affects the physical properties of semiconducting materials. These effects, h…
Novel dye-terminated, hyperbranched polytruxenes and polytruxene-block-polythiophene multiblock copolymers have been synthesized in a simple "AB(2) + A" approach. Photoexcitation into the higher energy polytruxene absorption band results in an efficient excitation energy transfer to the peripheral dye or polythiophene…
We present results of ab initio investigations of magnetic properties of Co and Ni multilayers on diamond surfaces. The generalized gradient approximation is used within the framework of noncollinear density-functional theory, and fully relativistic pseudopotentials are employed together with a basis set of Gaussian o…
ZnO:MgO nanocrystals have been synthesized by a sequential preparative procedure and capped with γ-Aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES), thereby rendering the surface of the nanocrystals hydrophilic and the particles water-soluble. Orthogonal experiment was employed to optimize the correlated parameters of the reaction…
We fabricated various periodic nanostructures with a six-fold hexagonal symmetry on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates using simple process steps, together with a theoretical analysis of their antireflective properties. Elliptical photoresist (PR) nanopillars, which are inevitably generated by the asymmetric intensity…
The characteristics of plasma polymerization are investigated in an asymmetric, capacitively coupled plasma discharge. Here, the deposition in different plasma zones, i.e. on the driven electrode, within the plasma bulk and the plasma sheath as well as approximately at the plasma-sheath edge, is investigated. Principa…
The mechanism of the transition from a continuous morphology to a porous morphology within polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) of linear poly(ethylene imine) (LPEI) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and PAA assembled by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique is examined. These morphologi…
Zwei Zinkphthalocyanin-Photosensibilisatoren mit verschiedenen Phosphinsäure-Ankergruppen (siehe Schema) wurden synthetisiert. Solarzellen mit diesen Verbindungen verfügen über eine Photostromdichte von (7.6±0.2) mA cm−2 bei geschlossenem Stromkreis, eine Spannung von (559±30) mV bei offenem Stromkreis und einen Füllf…
Analysis of needle-shaped particles of cellobiose octaacetate (COA) obtained from vacuum agitated drying experiments was performed using three particle size analysis techniques: laser diffraction (LD), focused beam reflectance measurements (FBRM) and dynamic image analysis. Comparative measurements were also made for…
The first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) in magnetite has been known for a long time but is still controversial in its nature. In this study, well-defined magnetite nanocrystals (NCs) with controllable size, shape and terminated surface are first employed to elucidate this important issue, and new discoveries…
Many biominerals, such as mollusk nacre, sea urchin, bone and teeth, are found to form by an amorphous precursor pathway, and these biominerals have remarkable properties, which are better than their artificial material counterparts that are formed at high temperatures and high pressures. More than ever, synthesizing…
Vertically aligned fluorescent polymer arrays with poly(9,9-di-n-octylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) are prepared by simple drop-casting onto mesoporous alumina film. The obtained PFO arrays exhibit anisotropic photoluminescence (PL) along the orientation of the main chains.
A nanoscale thermocouple consisting of merged Cu and Cu-Ni tips is developed for local temperature measurements on advanced nanomaterials by using a probing technique in a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TEM) equipped with a double probe scanning tunneling microcopy (STM) unit. The fabricated nanothe…
