Rhombic dodecahedral (RD) Fe3O4 nanocrystals (NCs) were for the first time prepared via a rapid and facile microwave-assisted route in the presence of ionic liquids (ILs). The reaction could be finished within 15 min at temperatures as low as 90 °C. A proper amount of ILs played a key role in the synthesis of pure RD…

Nanofibers formed by electrospinning provide very large surface areas which can enhance material performance in filtration and product separation. In this work, we explore atomic layer deposition (ALD) as a means to coat and protect electrospun nylon-6 nanofibers. Exposing nylon to trimethyl aluminum (TMA) during ALD…

In this paper, as a result of their laminar structure, dry BOPP windings have substantially anisotropic thermal conductivity. In the plane of the film, the thermal conductivity is about twice that of bulk polypropylene and about three times the thermal conductivity through the plane of the film. Three-dimensional fini…

A conventional parabolic reflector is converted into a flat one based on the discrete coordinate transformation. Instead of general beam-steering techniques, such as off-axis feeding, tilting the feed/reflector, or utilizing phase shift, we show an alternative way to manipulate the reflected emission through tuning tr…

The ability to solubilize insoluble inorganic pho- sphate compounds by Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus was studied using different cul-ture approaches. Qualitative plate assays using tricalcium phosphate as the sole P-source showed that G. diazotrophicus produced solu-bilization only when aldoses were used as the C-s…

The synthesis of an azo-benzene glycoluril supergelator is reported. The control over the gel/sol state can be accomplished by irradiation and heat, but also (in a unidirectional sense) by incorporation of the glycoluril into a more stable supramolecular assembly.

A binary mixture of amphiphilic polypeptides with right- and left-handed helical blocks was self-assembled into a morphology of a nano round-bottom flask shape upon heat treatment. The tubulation occurred as a result of phase-separation into the tubule domain of the single component and the vesicle domain of the stere…
