We have synthesized polyurethane (PU)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) copolymers for protein resistance. A macroiniferter consisting of polyurethane (PU) with tetraphenylethane groups is synthesized by the reaction of 1,1,2,2-tetraphenyl-1,2-ethanediol and isocyanate-terminated prepolymer with poly(tetramethylene glycol…
The increase in hydrogen back pressure unexpectedly enhances the overall dehydrogenation reaction rate of the 4LiBH(4) + YH(3) composite significantly. Also, argon back pressure has a similar influence on the composite. Gas back pressure seems to enhance the dehydrogenation reaction by kinetically suppressing the form…
Graphene-based nanocomposites have recently received rising interest owing to their outstanding performance. Crosslinkers, such as a divalent ion based coordinative complex, have been proved to significantly improve load transfer between adjacent graphene sheets, which subsequently defines the overall mechanical prope…
A series of open-framework aluminoborates (ABOs), [CH(3)NH(3)][(CH(3)CH(2))(2)NH(2)][Al(B(5)O(10))] (1), [CH(3)CH(2)NH(3)][(CH(3)CH(2))(2)NH(2)][Al(B(5)O(10))] (2), [CH(3)CH(2)NH(3)][(CH(3))(2)NH(2)](H(2)O)(0.5)[Al(B(5)O(10))] (3) and [CH(3)NH(3)][CH(3)CH(2)NH(3)](H(2)O)(2)[Al(B(5)O(10))] (4) have been made co-templat…
Co-dispersion of native cellulose and single walled carbon nanotubes in water is demonstrated. The pH of the water should be between 6 and 10 for better dispersion. Raman spectra confirm debundling of nanotubes in water and FTIR spectra reveal that the co-solubility is likely caused through disruption of intramolecula…
The biointegration of implants affects their function, stability and safety. Although most research on this topic has focused on bone and other hard tissues, biointegration with soft tissues is important in numerous applications, such as in prosthetic corneas. Here, we have adapted polydopamine-based adhesive surface…
A class of potential multi-chromic (19)F imaging tracers is made by pairing metal ions with a fluorinated chelator. All fluorinated metal chelates emit a single (19)F signal. Paramagnetic metal ions shifted the (19)F signal frequency and made the (19)F relaxation rates insensitive toward local chemical environment.
The results of the DC magnetron sputtering of copper thin films with different parameters of deposition are presented. The main aim of studies was to determine the influence of current value, time of deposition and target-substrate distance on morphology and grain size of obtained copper thin films. The effects of fil…
Structure-guided re-design of the acceptor binding site of D-fructose-6-phosphate aldolase from E. coli leads to the construction of FSA A129S/A165G double mutant with an activity between 5- to >900-fold higher than that of wild-type towards N-Cbz-aminoaldehyde derivatives.
Thin films of tin (Sn), aluminum (Al), gold (Au), ruthenium (Ru), tungsten (W), ruthenium dioxide (RuO2), tin dioxide (SnO2), and tungsten trioxide (WO3) were grown by glancing angle deposition (GLAD) to determine the nanostructuring temperature threshold, ΘT, above which adatom surface diffusion becomes large enough…
A comprehensive survey of electronic structure and optical properties of rare-earth ions-doped semiconductor is of vital importance for their potential applications. In this work, Eu(3+)-doped β-Ga(2)O(3) nanocrystals were synthesized via a combustion method. The evolution of the optical properties of nanophosphors wi…
The attractions between a closed-shell gold cluster and a closed-shell Au(I) molecule are theoretically studied, and related to monomer properties. The results suggest that the Au(I) mainly interacts with the nearest gold atoms and that the interaction is roughly proportional to the number of nearest neighbours. Diffe…
Through the esterification of an acyl chloride functionalized fullerene precursor with dendritic alcohol, a fullerene-rich dendron containing a norbornene unit at the focal point is prepared for ring-opening metathesis polymerization to obtain its linear polymer with a unimodal and narrow molar mass distribution (PDI…
The use of 2-amino-isobutyric acid in Co/Ln chemistry has led to the isolation of two unique [Co(II)(6)Ln(III)] 3d-4f metallic cages in which the Ln(III) centre (Ln = Eu, Dy) is encapsulated within a Co(II)(6) trigonal prism.
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of aluminium is a new method for enhancing acidity and acid catalytic activity in mesoporous zeolites and hierarchical materials.
The introduction of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modifies bulk polymer properties, depending on intrinsic quality, dispersion, alignment, interfacial chemistry and mechanical properties of the nanofiller. These effects can be exploited to enhance the matrices of conventional microscale fibre-reinforced polymer composites,…
Sterically-stabilised polystyrene latex particles prepared with a new polyacid macromonomer are sufficiently hydrophobic at low pH to stabilise ‘liquid marbles’. Such ‘liquid marbles’ remain intact when placed on the surface of liquid water adjusted to pH 4 or below. Moreover, addition of base to this aqueous solution…
Conducting polymer nanowires and nanopore arrays were formed by site selective filling of titania nanotubes with polypyrrole by electropolymerization using a surfactant electrolyte of dodecyl sulfate. The polymerization process can be controlled by modifications of the geometry and chemistry of a nanotubular titania f…
The aim of the present work was to determine the influence of chemical composition of the nickel based superalloy on the thickness and microstructure of aluminide layer obtained in the CVD low activity process. For this purpose cylindrical samples were cut from the rods and castings made of commercially produced nicke…
A novel DNA assay is demonstrated which relies on the production of a surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERS) signal following sequence specific hybridisation and enzyme hydrolysis. This method achieves high sensitivity and specificity that can be applied to the detection of unlabelled duplex DNA and is the…
