Abstract Polylactide (PLA) homo‐ and stereocopolymers containing 100, 98, 96, 94, and 92% L ‐lactyl units, respectively, were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of L ‐lactide and DL ‐Lactide, using zinc lactate as catalyst. Differential scanning calorimetric analysis measurements show that incorporation of D ‐…
We report a DFT study on the self-assembly of the fullerene derivative PCBM on the Au(111) surface. Recent STM experiments (Angew. Chem. 2007, 119, 8020-8023([1])) show a coverage-dependent transition of the adsorption and self-assembly of PCBM on this surface. To understand the origin of this observation, we compute…
Abstract The thermal degradation of chitosan and chitosan–cupric ion compounds in nitrogen was studied by thermogravimetry analysis and differential thermal analysis (DTA) in the temperature range 30–600°C. The effect of cupric ion on the thermal degradation behaviors of chitosan was discussed. Fourier transform‐infra…
The cluster-glass compound LaMn 0.7 Fe 0.3 O 3 was synthesized with average particle sizes ∼20, ∼90, and ∼300 nm. We observed a shift of the magnetic hysteresis loop in the field axis while the sample was cooled in an external magnetic field. The systematic shift of the hysteresis loops and the cooling field dependenc…
In the biomineralization processes, proteins are thought to control the polymorphism and morphology of the crystals by forming complexes of structural and mineral-associated proteins. To identify such proteins, we have searched for proteins that may form high-molecular-weight (HMW) aggregates in the matrix of fish oto…
We have performed a theoretical study of the effect of doping the half-Heusler alloy NiMnSb with the magnetic $3d$ metals Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, with respect to both energetics and magnetic properties. Starting from the formation energies, we discuss the possibility of placing the dopant on different crystallographic…
We report an observation and mechanism of spontaneous periodic modulations of the nematic director close to the temperature T(NA) of a nematic-to-smectic-A phase transition if the surface alignment slightly differs from a pure homeotropic one. Stripe domains appear in the nematic phase about one degree above T(NA) and…
Abstract Ethylene–propylene–diene rubbers (EPDM) with 2‐ethylidene‐5‐norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and 1,4‐hexadiene (HD) as third monomers have been vulcanized with peroxide and with a conventional sulfur vulcanization recipe, and their devulcanization was subsequently investigated for recycling purpose…
A series of silicon(IV) phthalocyanines with two axial isopropylidene-protected galactose moieties and one, two, or eight chloro group(s) on the periphery of the macrocycle have been synthesised and spectroscopically characterised. The photophysical properties and in vitro photodynamic activities of these compounds ha…
AIMS: This study sought to develop a less expensive medium for growth of the polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum from the ethanol production coproduct, condensed corn solubles (CCS). METHODS AND RESULTS: Small-scale trials using R. rubrum were performed in aerated or anaerobic stoppered seru…
The growth, composition, and structural properties of one-dimensional Bi 2 S 3, CdS, and SnS x nanostructures, confined within the channels of anodic alumina membranes, have been comprehensively investigated by electron microscopy and spectroscopy. In particular, the morphology, loading factors, crystal structure and…
A cylindrical single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) deforms in a nanotube bundle by van der Waals forces. The deformation is hard to measure, but is required in order to understand the properties of bundles. Here, we show that such deformations can be measured from changes in electron diffraction intensities. We demonst…
Abstract In the present work, a series of aromatic/aliphatic co‐polyureas have been synthesized from 4,4‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), m ‐phenylene diamine ( m ‐PDA), and 1,6‐diaminohexane (HDA) in DMAc by a two‐stage solution polymerization route. Characterizations of the polyurea products have been carried out…
Abstract BACKGROUND: The large amount of limed bovine split wastes discharged by the leather industry has raised concerns regarding their environmental effect. The objective of this work was to perform pilot plant trials to extract high‐value native collagen from these wastes through improved pretreatment methods. RES…
Abstract The composition and degradation of a highly active and enantioselective titanium salalen in situ catalyst for the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins with aqueous hydrogen peroxide was investigated. Kinetic data and ESI‐MS studies point to a mononuclear titanium salalen as the catalytically active species. By m…
The magnetic properties of ferromagnetic ${\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.93}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{0.07}\mathrm{As}$ thin films have been investigated by $X$-band ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy as a function of hole concentration. The hole concentration $[p]$ was varied from ${10}^{21}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\text{to}<{10…
The title dicyano compound was synthesized via cyanation and it self-assembles in nonpolar solvents giving red-shifted and broad absorption maxima just as the bacteriochlorophylls which are encountered in the light-harvesting organelles of early photosynthetic bacteria. In the crystal, stacks are formed through a hier…
Abstract We report a new strategy, the directional peeling of a rigiflex mold with a nanostructure, to overcome several problems with general patterning techniques for liquid‐crystal (LC) alignment. These include difficulty in generating the pretilt angle and in controlling the LC rising‐up direction, formation of loc…
By correlating all electrons and employing core-tuned correlation consistent basis sets of quintuple-zeta quality, we applied multireference and coupled-cluster methods to study 32 electronic states of the diatomic BH molecule, two bound states of BH(-), and three states of the linear HBBH molecule. We have constructe…
We studied both experimentally and theoretically the influence of the distance between adjacent cut-wire-pair layers on the magnetic and the electric resonances in the microwave-frequency regime. Besides the dependence on the separation between cut-wire pairs, along the electric-field direction, the electric resonance…
