The grand canonical Monte Carlo method is used to simulate the adsorption isotherms of water molecules on different types of model soot particles. The soot particles are modeled by graphite-type layers arranged in an onionlike structure that contains randomly distributed hydrophilic sites, such as OH and COOH groups.…
We introduce the notion of "Janus balance" (J), defined as the dimensionless ratio of work to transfer an amphiphilic colloidal particle (a "Janus particle") from the oil-water interface into the oil phase, normalized by the work needed to move it into the water phase. The J value can be calculated simply from the int…
Electronegativity is shown to control charge transfer, energy level alignments, and electron currents in single molecule tunnel junctions, all of which are governed by correlations contained within the density matrix. This is demonstrated by the fact that currents calculated from the one-electron reduced density matri…
The high stiffness of collagenous tissues such as tendon and ligament is derived in large part from the mechanics and geometries of the constituent collagen's hierarchical forms. The primary structural unit in connective tissues is the collagen fibril for which there exists little direct mechanical or deformational st…
Hole formation and growth on the top layer of thin symmetric diblock copolymer films, forming an ordered lamellar structure parallel to the solid substrate (silicon wafer) within these films, is investigated as a function of time (t), temperature (T), and film thickness (l), using a high-throughput experimental techni…
The adsorption and dissociation of water on a W(111) surface have been studied at the density functional theory (DFT) level in conjunction with the projected augmented wave approach. The potential energy surface of the water decomposition on the W(111) surface was constructed. It was shown that the barriers for the st…
Nanoparticles (NPs) are a versatile medium for the localization of therapeutics to tumors and for cellular and tissue imaging. The ability to impart targeting capability or enhance cellular uptake is dependent in part on the presentation of relevant surface functionality, among other design parameters. Currently, the…
The relationship between structural order metrics and the excess entropy is studied using the transferable rigid ion model (TRIM) of beryllium fluoride melt, which is known to display waterlike thermodynamic anomalies. The order map for liquid BeF2, plotted between translational and tetrahedral order metrics, shows a…
An amorphous silica membrane with an excellent hydrogen/nitrogen (H 2 /N 2 ) permselectivity of >10 000 and a He/H 2 permselectivity of 11 was successfully synthesized on a γ‐alumina (γ‐Al 2 O 3 )‐coated α‐alumina (α‐Al 2 O 3 ) porous support by counter diffusion chemical vapor deposition using tetramethylorthosili…
The use of solid-state plasticizers for the hot-melt extrusion of pharmaceutical dosage forms has been shown to be beneficial compared with liquid plasticizers. The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of citric acid (CA) as a solid plasticizer for the preparation of Eudragit RS PO extended-release m…
A series of heterobimetallic, cyano-bridged 3D inorganic-organic hybrid networks with MnII-L-MnII and MnII-NC-NbIV linkages are reported. Reaction of [Mn(H2O)6]2+ with [Nb(CN)8]4- in the presence of organic linker L (pyrazine (pyz), pyrazine-N,N'-dioxide (pzdo), and 2,2'-bipyrimidine (bpym)) in H2O affords {MnII2(pz)2…
We prepared thermosensitive poly( N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide mono/dilactate) (pHPMA mono/dilactate) polymer and studied temperature-triggered contents release from polymer-coated liposomes. HPMA mono/dilactate polymer was synthesized with a cholesterol anchor suitable for incorporation in the liposomal bilayers…
An organic compound, N-salicylidene-3-hydroxy-4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenylamine, with two intramolecular hydrogen bonding and triple fluorescence bands has been synthesized. With increasing pressure, enhanced emission of the triple fluorescence has been observed in succession. Within the pressure region up to 54.2 k…

Aeromonas caviae polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC(Ac)) is an important biocatalyst for the synthesis of practically useful two-component polyhydroxyalkanoate copolymer, poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate] [P(3HB-co-3HHx)]. In a previous study, two PhaC(Ac) mutants that have a single amino acid sub…
On the basis of optimized grinding/heating cycles developed for several phosphate-based ceramics, the preparation of brabantite and then monazite/brabantite solid solutions loaded with tetravalent thorium, uranium, and cerium (as a plutonium surrogate) was examined versus the heating temperature. The chemical reaction…
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) integrates high levels of sensitivity with spectroscopic precision and has tremendous potential for chemical and biomolecular sensing. The key to the wider application of Raman spectroscopy using roughened metallic surfaces is the development of highly enhancing substrates for…
Stable amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) composite particle with a size-controlled monodispersed sphere was obtained by a new simple carbonate controlled-addition method by using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (Mw = 5000), in which an aqueous ammonium carbonate solution was added into an aqueous solution of PAA and CaCl2 wi…
A nonvolatile, bistable, and rewritable organic memory device based on radical polymers was prepared and tested. The excellent performance of a battery-inspired memory architecture with a configuration of p- and n-type charge-transporting radical polymers sandwiching a dielectric layer was characterized. The ON−OFF ra…
In this paper, we report an approach for using solvophobic interactions to synthesize well-defined colloidal superparticles from nonpolar-solvent-dispersible Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticle artificial atoms. These colloidal superparticles possess a “single-supercrystal” structure, of which Fe 3 O 4 artificial atoms occupy the l…
