Minor and major ampullate spider silks are studied under varying mechanical stress by static and time-resolved FT-IR spectroscopy. This enables one to trace the external mechanical excitation on a microscopic level and to determine for the different moieties the time dependence of the molecular order parameters and co…
To design more effective tissue-engineered heart valve replacements, the replacement tissue may need to mimic the biaxial stress-strain behavior of native heart valve tissue. This study characterized the planar biaxial properties of tissue-engineered valve leaflets and native aortic valve leaflets. Fibrin-based valve…
Tb 3 + – Yb 3 + codoped fluorophosphate glasses were synthesized and properties of the visible emission at 0.54 μm were investigated. The upconversion excitation efficiency from Yb3+ to Tb3+ was studied by evaluation of the cooperative energy transfer efficiency from Yb3+ to Tb3+ (ηCET) and the back-transfer efficienc…
The products obtained within early stages of the oxidative polymerization of aniline in solutions of various weak organic acids or in water, and aniline oligomers produced by the oxidation of aniline and aniline-(15)N in acetic acid (0.4 M) with a limited amount of oxidant were analyzed using 1H, 13C, and 15N 1D and 2…
Incubation of polyelectrolyte multilayer coated polystyrene particles in a mixture of water and tetrahydrofuran leads to rapid protrusion of the polystyrene through the polyelectrolyte coating and thus to formation of anisotropic particles, which is independent of the polystyrene core size and the polyelectrolyte coat…
With micro-Raman spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD), we studied ZnO crystals implanted with Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, respectively, with implantation concentrations from 4 up to 16 at. %. Using thermal treatments in air up to 700 °C, we analyzed the annealing effect on the ZnO crystal lattice as well as the onset of s…
Rare-earth-ion-doped hexagonal-phase NaYF 4 nanowires were hydrothermally synthesized at the cooperative effect of sodium citrate with AOT on a large scale. As-synthesized nanowires have a uniform size with several micrometers in length and ca. 100 nm in diameter. The XRD pattern of the products is notably different f…
PMMA/Fe-oxide nanocomposites are fabricated by a chemical method. Monodispersed Fe-oxide nanoparticles are well dispersed in the PMMA matrix by in situ polymerization, resulting in a bulk transparent polymeric nanocomposite. The magnetic behavior of the PMMA/Fe-oxide nanocomposites is investigated. The transparent PMM…
Flat knitted spacer fabrics offer a strong potential for complex shape preforms, which could be used to manufacture composites with reduced waste and shorter production times. A reinforced spacer fabric made of individual surface layers and joined with connecting layers shows improved mechanical properties for lightwe…
Mn ferrite (MnFe(2)O(4)) nanoparticles, having diameters from 4 to 50 nm, were synthesized using a modified co-precipitation technique in which mixed metal chloride solutions were added to different concentrations of boiling NaOH solutions to control particle growth rate. Thermomagnetization measurements indicated an…
Abstract Highly cross‐linked microspheres bearing active amino groups on the surface have been successfully synthesized via a single‐step precipitation polymerization of hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene (HCCP) with 4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) in acetonitrile medium without any added surfactant. The active microspher…
Rare earth (RE) doped ZnO nanocrystals were synthesized by chemical combustion method. Bright white upconversion (UC) luminescence with the CIE coordinates close to (0.33, 0.33) was obtained in Er+Tm+Yb tridoped ZnO nanocrystals under the excitation of a cost-effective 980 nm single-wavelength laser diode. The overall…
Using a regioselective strategy for nucleophilic aromatic substitution on polyfluoropyridines, a nonacoordinating precursor was designed that is adequately suited for complexation of lanthanide cations. Further functionalizations afforded numerous applications for near-IR emission, two-photon absorption spectroscopy,…
Bone is a widely studied structure due to its important function in the human body and also for its unique mechanical properties, which depend upon several factors, such as, its hierarchal structure, its constituents, degree of interactions between different constituents, etc. The major constituents of bone are collag…
Calculation of electronic structures has been performed for graphene nanoribbons with eight-armchair edges containing nitrogen or boron substitutional impurity by usingab initiodensity functional theory. It is found that the electronic structures of the doped graphene nanoribbon are different from those of doped carbo…
The synthesis and electrochemical and optical properties of a conjugated polymer incorporating a BODIPY unit in the main chain is reported. The material has a low band gap of ca. 0.8 eV and features stable, reversible amphoteric redox behavior.
We report the synthesis, microstructure, and transport properties of composite thermoelectric materials based on the eutectic phase relationship between PbTe and Ge. When quenched, these eutectic mixtures exhibit considerably stronger mechanical strength and reduced brittleness compared to PbTe itself, while at the sa…
Novel water-insoluble, and reduction-responsive nonwoven scaffolds were fabricated from gamma-PGA and tested in cell culture. An electrospinning method was developed to produce scaffolds of fibers with diameters of 0.05-0.5 microm. Crosslinking of the fibers with cystamine in the presence of EDC resulted in water-inso…
High temperature bismuth layered piezoelectric and ferroelectric ceramics of CaBi4Ti4O15 (CBT) have been prepared using the solid state route. The formation of single phase material with orthorhombic structure was verified from x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The orthorhombic distortion present in the CBT ce…
Cubic β-In2S3 nanorods were synthesized with reaction conditions that favor anisotropic growth. The TEM image illustrates the uniform diameter of the nanorods (11.5 nm), which is well below the Bohr radius of In2S3. Optoelectronic and electrochemical characterization suggests these nanorods may represent a viable alte…
