Nanoassemblies are formed via self-assembly of ZnS capped CdSe quantum dots (QD) and perylene bisimide dyes (PBI). Upon assembly formation with functionalized dye molecules the QD photoluminescence (PL) is quenched. Quenching has been assigned partly to FRET (fluorescence resonance energy transfer) and NON-FRET proces…
The Journal of Aerospace Technology and Management is a techno-scientific publication serialized, edited, and published by the Institute of Aeronautics and Space (Instituto de Aeronáutica e Espaço-IAE).
Since their initial description in 1857, gold nanoparticles have been used extensively in the fields of diagnostics and therapeutics. Now, gold nanoparticles are engineered to target the delivery of potent anti-cancer therapeutics to solid tumors to improve either their safety or efficacy or both. Described in this ch…
We report on the design, investigation and comparison of the adhesive properties of poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) and biocompatible polyethylene glycol-based thermoresponsive brushes. Specifically, a poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, poly-(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-co-2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl…
The degradation of cathode performances by chromium poisoning was studied at two cathodes [ (LSM) and ] on the electrolyte. Cathodic currents were decreased by the supply of Cr vapors under a constant overvoltage (−0.3 V vs reference electrode) at 1073 K up to 300 h. The polarization resistances increased with time to…
A series of polyimides were synthesized <italic>via</italic> a polycondensation of 2′,7′-bis(4-aminophenoxy)-spiro(fluorene-9,9′-xanthene) with aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. They exhibited a low dielectric constant, low moisture absorption, excellent solubility, high glass transition temperatures and high opt…
We report the ultrafast charge carrier relaxation dynamics of mercaptopropionic acid capped CdTe quantum dot (QD) using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy by exciting the particles with 400 nm laser light and monitoring the transients in the visible to near IR region. Cooling dynamics and population dynamic…
The preparation of supramolecular nanowires capable of conducting electricity can be achieved via the gel state. These wires, which range in width from a few to several tens of nanometres, are connected in a network—characteristic of organogels—which can provide bulk conducting materials thanks to close contacts betwe…
This paper reports static and dynamic control of the phase separation structures of polymer blended nanoparticles. The phase separated nanoparticles were prepared from various combinations of polymers by evaporating good solvents from the polymer blended solutions after adding poor solvents into the solutions. Transmi…
A variety of perylenetetracarboxy-3,4:9,10-diimide derivatives have been synthesized. Particular attention was paid to substituents in positions 1, 6, 7 or 12. The energy differences between the frontier orbitals have been determined using optical spectroscopy (UV and fluorescence). The energy of the lowest unoccupied…
Bismuth ferrite BiFeO3 has attracted a great deal of interest because of its multiferroic properties. However, BiFeO3 synthesized by conventional methods in the forms of single crystals, ceramics or thin films only exhibit ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetic order at room temperature, with weak ferromagnetism appea…
Hollow spherical nanoparticles with ordered mesoporous silica shells were fabricated by evaporation-induced self-assembly using (NH(4))(2)SO(4) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as templates. The model drug, L-methionine, was encapsulated within the spherical void at high loadings by repeated crystallization.
Scandium, yttrium and lanthanum amido complexes supported by tridentate bis(ortho-silyl-substituted naphtholate)-donor ligands ({ONO(SiPh3)}(2-) and {ONO(SitBuMe2)}(2-), donor = 2,6-pyridine; {OSO(SiPh3)}(2-), donor = 2,5-thiophene) have been prepared in high yields (72-96%) by reaction of the corresponding pro-ligand…
BACKGROUND: Phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase (PEPS; EC 2.7.9.2) catalyzes the synthesis of phosphoenolpyruvate from pyruvate in Escherichia coli when cells are grown on a three carbon source. It also catalyses the anabolic conversion of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate in gluconeogenesis. A bioinformatics search conducte…
A new concept for formation of nanostructured intrinsically conducting polymers (ICP) is demonstrated. Polypyrrole can be electropolymerized from an ionic-surfactant-solution in TiO(2) nanotube framework to form a geometrical structure of self-organized nanopore arrays. Polymerization is initialized selectively in the…
We present a novel method combining fluorescence microscopy with AFM force spectroscopy to investigate release of encapsulated materials from polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules upon mechanical deformations. The experimental approach allows independent measurement of release and plastic deformation thresholds. Our res…
The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 offers the possibility of a new green production method for this important commodity chemical. Active catalysts for this reaction are typically prepared using an impregnation method and it is important to identify improvements in the preparation methodology that…
This feature article describes selected examples of the properties and the methods of preparation of cellulose micro and nano crystallites (whiskers) and derivatives, with aspects related to fabrication of various anisotropic materials. Nanometre sized cellulose crystallites have a variety of novel anisotropic propert…
The elaboration and study of hybrid nanocomposites based on photoswitchable spin-crossover nanoparticles is reported. A silica polymeric gel is used as the confining medium to control the kinetics of nucleation and growth of a molecular spin-crossover prototype [Fe((mepy)(3)tren)](PF(6))(2). The precipitation of nanop…
In modern Cu interconnections in microelectronics, weak adhesion between the chemical-mechanical polished copper surface and the dielectric capping material can lead to rapid electromigration of Cu and early failure of the wiring. A self-aligned chemical vapor deposition (CVD) Mn capping process is introduced to stren…
