A multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) scaffold was covalently functionalized with a second-generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendron, presenting four terminal amino groups per grafted aryl moiety. These reactive functions were alkylated to obtain a positively charged polycationic dendron/carbon nanotube system (d-MWCN…
Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films modified with Magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2·6H2O) were prepared by casting method. The prepared films were characterized by X‐ray diffraction measurements (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and mechanical testing. It was f…
Over the last decade, solid-binding peptides have been increasingly used as molecular building blocks coupling bio- and nanotechnology. Despite considerable research being invested in this field, the effects of many surface-related parameters that define the binding of peptide to solids are still unknown. In the quest…
We formed a p–n homojunction by implanting nitrogen ions, serving as a p-type dopant, into an n-type ZnO crystal. A forward bias current was injected into the crystal while irradiating it with light, bringing about Joule heating which annealed the crystal and changed the spatial distribution of the N-dopant concentrat…
Chiral ordered mesoporous silica (COMS) was synthesized in the presence of amino acid proline by combining tetraethyl orthosilicate and quaternized aminosilane silica sources. The as-prepared materials were activated by calcination or microwave chemical extraction to remove the organic templates. The powder X-ray diff…
Antifouling surfaces are critical for the good performance of functional materials in various applications including water filtration, medical implants, and biosensors. In this study, we synthesized amphiphilic triblock terpolymers (tri-BCPs, coded as KB) and fabricated amphiphilic nanofibers by electrospinning of sol…
Bombyx mori (silkworm) silk proteins are being utilized as unique biomaterials for medical applications. Chemical modification or post-conjugation of bioactive ligands expand the applicability of silk proteins; however, the processes are elaborate and costly. In this study, we used transgenic silkworm technology to de…
Abstract Polypropylene (PP)/organomodified layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocomposites were prepared in order to examine the influence of LDH content on thermal, mechanical, and rheological properties. The nanostructure examinations by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the…
It has been a long-lasting challenge to prepare highly ordered biopolymer nanocomposites to optimize or tune the desired mechanical and barrier properties of the nanocomposite film. In this study, we developed a simple and cost-effective method to synthesize highly ordered zein nanocomposites. The method involved the…
Vereinigte Sulfate: Das einzigartige Tetrasulfat-Anion S3O132− konnte in der Struktur von (NO2)2[S4O13] beobachtet werden, die sich in der Reaktion von N2O5 mit SO3 bildet. Theoretische Untersuchungen zeigen, dass das Anion ein stabiles Mitglied der Polysulfatfamilie [SnO3n+1]2− ist, die bis zu n=11 untersucht wurde.
The Mott insulator-metal transition induced by an external stimulus such as electric field, pressure, chemical doping, or photoirradiation has received considerable attention because of the potential use in new optoelectronic functional devices. Here we report an abrupt Mott insulator-metal transition observed as a cu…
An important and so far neglected class of structural elements affecting the overall properties of metal oxide nanopowders are interfaces between individual nanocrystals. In this work, we show experimentally that these defects inside a powder of compressed MgO nanocubes are subject to photoexcitation in the UV light r…
The aerobic oxidation of primary amines to their respective nitriles has been carried out at room temperature using a highly reusable nanocrystalline ruthenium oxide pyrochlore Nafion composite catalyst (see figure).
Sulfates united: the unique tetrasulfate S(4)O(13)(2-) anion was observed in the structure of (NO(2))(2)[S(4)O(13)] that forms in the reaction of N(2)O(5) with SO(3). Theoretical investigations show that the anion is a stable member of the polysulfate series [S(n)O(3n+1)](2-), which was investigated up to n=11.
Abstract A new approach for the calculation of static and dynamic hyperpolarizabilities in the framework of auxiliary density perturbation theory is derived. It takes advantage of the Wigner's 2n+1 rule. As a byproduct dynamic quadratic response equations are obtained. Even though the final equations are similar to ot…
The energetics of an Au adatom and Au${}_{N}$ clusters $(N=2\text{--}6)$ supported on pristine and reduced MgO(100) surfaces is analyzed using an all-electron full-potential density functional theory approach. A hierarchy of exchange-correlation functional approximations is employed, ranging from the generalized gradi…
A novel CO(2) solid sorbent was prepared by synthesizing and modifying AlOOH-supported CaAl layered double hydroxides (CaAl LDHs), which were prepared by using mesoporous alumina (γ-Al(2)O(3)) and calcium chloride (CaCl(2)) in a hydrothermal urea reaction. The nanostructured CaAl LDHs with nanosized platelets (3-30 nm…
Abstract Al‐doped ZnO (AZO) films were prepared on glass substrates by RF magnetron sputtering in an Ar + 5%H2 ambient at room temperature. The influence of film thickness (85–1101 nm) on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the films was investigated. With increasing film thickness, it is found that…
