By carefully comparing ABA triblock copolymers with che-mically matched AB diblock copolymers, Khanna et al.1 have recently shown that molecular architecture affects the surface energy of an ordered block copolymer melt. In particular, their experiment revealed a greater tendency for the B-rich domains of the diblock…

Using an artificial peptide library, we have identified a peptide with affinity for ZnO materials that could be used to selectively accumulate ZnO particles on polypropylene-gold plates. In this study, we fused recombinant green fluorescent protein (GFP) with this ZnO-binding peptide (ZnOBP) and then selectively immob…

The Curie point T c of ferroelectrics sets the upper temperature limit for their application as piezoelectrics. Some Aurivillius phase and perovskite-like layer structured (PLS) materials are good candidates for high temperature piezoelectric applications because of their high T c. The Aurivillius phase CaBi2Nb2O9 and…

Abstract Favorable positive temperature coefficient (PTC) properties of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanocomposites were obtained. The results showed that such composites presented high PTC intensity, as well as eliminated negative temperature coefficient effect and high thermal…

In this article, we developed an effective approach to generate gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) by vesicles made from a series of gemini amphiphiles (G2-G10) with different spacer lengths. The gemini amphiphiles were found to form vesicles in aqueous solution. Upon mixing with vesicles in the presence of AgNO(3), HAuCl(4) co…

β-Ga 2 O 3 hexagonal nanodisks were in situ grown on the surface of gallium grain and Si substrate via a reaction of metallic gallium with NH 4 Cl and H 2 O at 650−800 °C for 30 min. The as-synthesized nanodisks have perfect hexagonal shape with diagonals of 0.6−4.0 μm and thicknesses of 140−480 nm. Size of the hexago…

We report the resistivity measurements under pressure of two Fe-based superconductors with a thick perovskite oxide layer, Sr2VFeAsO3 and Sr2ScFePO3. The superconducting transition temperature Tc of Sr2VFeAsO3 markedly increases with increasing pressure. Its onset value, which was Tc{onset}=36.4 K at ambient pressure,…

The elasto-plastic torsional response of a thin metal wire is analysed using the phenomenological flow theory of strain-gradient plasticity proposed by Fleck and Willis (2009 Part I J. Mech. Phys. Solids 57 161, 2009 Part II J. Mech. Phys. Solids 57 1045). Numerical results are obtained via minimum principles, and clo…

Abstract Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibrous mats containing silver nanoparticles were prepared by electrospinning. The diameter of the nanofibers ranged between 100 and 300 nm, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy. The silver nanoparticles were dispersed, but some aggregation was observed with transmi…

The shear deformation behavior of bicrystalline grain boundaries is analyzed using continuum mechanical metrics extracted from atomistic simulations. Calculating these quantities at this length-scale is premised on determining the atomic deformation gradient tensor using interatomic distances. Employing interatomic di…

Silica shells were directly coated onto surfactant-capped gold nanorods by a simple one-step method. The procedure required no intermediate coating of the gold nanorod prior to the formation of the smooth silica shell, the thickness of which could be accurately controlled over the range 60-150 nm. These silica-encased…
