Is there a low-density region ("gap") between water and a hydrophobic surface? Previous x-ray and neutron reflectivity results have been inconsistent because the effect (if any) is subresolution for the surfaces studied. We have used x-ray reflectivity to probe the interface between water and more hydrophobic smooth s…
The intermediate-range order in peralkaline calcium aluminosilicate glasses is explored by two different models using solid-state 29 Si MAS NMR spectra as the main experimental basis. The two modeling approaches describe the spatial arrangement of the tetrahedral SiO 4 and AlO 4 units, that is, the intermediate-range…
This paper presents an experimental study into the effect of self-healing hollow fibres on the mechanical properties and delamination resistance of carbon-epoxy composite panels and bonded joints. Hollow fibres made using thin-walled glass tubes are used in microvascular self-healing systems for the storage and transp…
The objective of this investigation was to compare the toxicity of two manufactured carbon nanomaterials (CNs) to determine if shape influenced toxicity. Juvenile rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss were fed a control diet (no CN addition), or a diet supplemented with 500 mg single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) kg(-1)…
Deciphering the molecular basis of toxicology mechanism induced by nanoparticles (NPs) remains an essential challenge. Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) was applied in combination with Transmission Electron Microscopy and Confocal Microscopy to analyze human keratinocytes exposed to TiO(2)-NPs. Investigating chemical elemental…
A random-phase-approximation semiclassical scheme for the description of plasmon excitations in large metallic nanospheres, with a radius range of 10--60 nm, is developed in an all-analytical version, with inclusion of irradiation phenomena. The spectrum of plasmons is determined for both surface- and volume-type exci…
Abstract The formation of functional tissue is strongly dependent on biochemical as well as physical signals. A common approach in tissue engineering is the application of passive scaffold systems with fixed morphology and stiffness. In this paper, we explored whether mechanically active scaffolds, exhibiting self‐suf…
The glasses of the composition 20CaF2–xAl2O3–(59−x)P2O5–20SiO2:1.0Ho2O3/1.0Er2O3 and 20CaF2–xAl2O3–(59−x)P2O5–20SiO2:(0.6Ho2O3+0.4Er2O3) with x varying from 2 to 10 mol % have been synthesized. Optical absorption and fluorescence spectra (in the spectral range 350–2100 nm were studied at ambient temperature. The Judd–…
The development of novel engineered nano-sized materials is a rapidly emerging technology with many applications in medicine and industry. In vitro and in vivo studies have suggested many deleterious effects of carbon nanotube exposure including granulomatous inflammation, release of cytosolic enzymes, pulmonary fibro…
Silica coatings with hierarchical structures were prepared on glass substrates via layer-by-layer assembly using hierarchically mesoporous silica nanoparticles as building block. These coatings demonstrated excellent superhydrophilic properties. After hydrophobic modification, the obtained coatings exhibited hydrophob…
We present a first-principles study of Peierls distortions in trans-polyacetylene, polyacene, and armchair $(n,n)$ carbon nanotubes. Our findings suggest that the ground-state geometries of armchair $(n,n)$ carbon nanotubes, with $n$ up to 6, exhibit a Peierls distortion as it is found for trans-polyactetylene. In con…
Zinc in: Polyoxometalate 1 reacts with Zn2+ ions in acetone to form a novel sandwich-type POM 2 in almost quantitative yield. The H2O2-based oxidation of secondary alcohols with 2 efficiently proceeds, with an activity and chemoselectivity that is very different from those of tungsten-based catalysts including 1 (see…
If engineered nanomaterials are released into the environment, some are likely to end up associated with the food of animals due to aggregation and sorption processes. However, few studies have considered dietary exposure of nanomaterials. Here we show that zinc (Zn) from isotopically modified (67)ZnO particles is eff…
Density functional modeling of atomic structure and calculation of electronic structure of one-side one-sublattice functionalized graphene (graphone) are performed for hydrogen and fluorine adatoms. Shown that using of fluorine for functionalization not on enhance stability of compound but also provide switch of magne…
We demonstrate the accuracy of the hybrid functional HSE06 for computing band offsets of semiconductor alloy heterostructures. The highlight of this study is the computation of conduction band offsets with a reliability that has eluded standard density functional theory. A high-quality special quasirandom structure mo…
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been widely used in graphene oxide (GO) structure studies. However, the detailed relationship between its spectroscopic features and the GO structural configuration remains elusive. Based on first principles (13)C chemical shift calculations using the gauge including projector augm…
The diverse physical and chemical aspects of graphene nanosheets such as particle size surface area and edge chemistry were combined to fabricate a new supercapacitor electrode architecture consisting of a highly aligned network of large-sized nanosheets as a series of current collectors within a multilayer configurat…
A novel polymer-modified thermosensitive liposome (pTSL) was developed for the delivery of Doxorubicin (DOX) for cancer therapy. Copolymers containing temperature-responsive N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and pH-responsive propylacrylic acid (PAA) were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (…
Abstract The area of lanthanide‐containing polyoxometalates has been a field of large interest for several years due to the interesting structural and physicochemical properties of such compounds. This chemistry is dominated by tungsten based POMs, as a large number of vacant (lacunary) polytungstate precursors is kno…
The interaction of molten calcium–magnesium alumino‐silicate (CMAS) with yttrium monosilicate (YMS), a candidate environmental barrier coating (EBC) for SiC‐based ceramic matrix composites, was investigated. YMS monoliths were exposed to CMAS melts at 1300°C for times ranging from 1 to 100 h and characterized by scann…
