Elastic wave characteristics of the heat conduction in low-temperature thin wires can be studied via a wave scattering formalism. A reaction matrix formulation of heat conductance modeled by elastic wave scattering is advocated. This formulation allows us to treat thin wires with arbitrary surface disorder. It is foun…

We have developed an alternative self-assembly process to pattern different geometries with user-defined tunability across the micro and nanoscale. In this approach, field-induced assembly of colloidal magnetic nanoparticles within a microfluidic channel is used as a tunable mask for near-field lithography. We have fa…

The fibers for specific textile end-use applications will be selected basically through their mechanical properties. They are key elements in fiber selection for successful applications. The way a single fiber behaves when it breaks is a good indicator of the mechanical properties whereby the results can be correlated…

We investigated through noncommercial calorimetry and elastoacoustic Brillouin experiments the phase diagram of n-butanol and measured the specific heat and the thermal conductivity in a wide low-temperature range for its three different states, namely, glass, crystal, and the so-called "glacial" states. The main aim…

Abstract Block copolymers of polystyrene and poly( tert ‐butyl methyacrylate) were prepared by ATRP. Halogen atoms at the chain ends were transformed into azide groups to obtain N 3 terminated block copolymers, which were connected to the surface of multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by reacting N 3 with MWNT's s…

We have studied the influence of nitrogen on the chemical properties of the hydrogenated carbon nitride (a-CN(x):H) film deposited by CH(4)/N(2) dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates that carbon and nitrogen form an unpolarized covalent bond in these C-N(x) materia…

Undoped, Tb(3+)- and Eu(3+)-doped ZnGa(2)O(4) colloidal nanocrystals were synthesized by a nonhydrolytic hot solution chemistry. Undoped nanocrystals exhibited an intrinsic blue emission peaking at 437 nm by self-activated transition. The emissions of Tb(3+)-and Eu(3+)-doped ZnGa(2)O(4) nanocrystals consisted of their…

The structure of aromatic residues in spider silk has remained relatively uncharacterized. This is primarily due to the relatively low abundance of aromatic residues in dragline spider silk. NMR characterization has been further hindered by the inability to (13)C-isotopically enrich these amino acids in the silk effec…
