An improved chemical one-step method (ICOSM) was used to prepare highly conductive and magnetic polypyrrole/γ-Fe 2 O 3 (PPy/γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) nanospheres ∼80 nm in diameter. In the reaction process involved, FeCl 3 acts as an oxidant for the polymerization of pyrrole and as a source of Fe III for the formation of γ-Fe 2 O…

The DCFH assay is commonly used for measuring free radicals generated by engineered nanomaterials (ENM), a well-established mechanism of ENM toxicity. Concerns exist over susceptibility of the DCFH assay to: assay conditions, adsorption of DCFH onto ENM, fluorescence quenching and light scattering. These effects vary…

Visible light exposure of films containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) shows that the enhanced field around AgNPs in a thin film containing an azo free radical initiator (AIBN) and a triacrylate selectively cross-links the triacrylate within the plasmonic region around the particles. The cross-linked polymer is less…

Abstract Short ramie fiber (RF) was used to reinforce the polypropylene (PP). The composites were prepared in a twin‐screw extruder followed by injection molding. The experimental results showed that both the strength and the modulus of the composites increase considerably with increasing RF content. The tensile stren…

The Condon approximation is widely applied in molecular and condensed matter spectroscopy and states that electronic transition dipoles are independent of nuclear positions. This approximation is related to the Franck-Condon principle, which in its simplest form holds that electronic transitions are instantaneous on t…

Nonspherical metal nanoparticles are very attractive plasmonic nanostructures owing to the facile tunability of the plasmonic properties and the presence of sharp corners and edges, which act as electromagnetic hot spots for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). However, such anisotropic nanostructures exhibit str…

In this study, we report the high-yield synthesis of 2-dimensional cupric oxide (CuO) nanodiscs through dehydrogenation of 1-dimensional Cu(OH)2 nanowires at 60°C. Most of the nanodiscs had a diameter of approximately 500 nm and a thickness of approximately 50 nm. After further prolonged reaction times, secondary irre…

Lead-free Li-(K,Na)NbO 3 (KNN) piezoceramics shows surprisingly high normalized strain d 33 * up to 538 pm/V at electric fields as low as 1 kV/mm, comparable to a commercial soft lead zirconate titanate (PZT) sample. The special treating process of aging and re-poling is essential for this achievement. The extrinsic p…

Because most "low fouling" polymers resisting bacterial attachment are hydrophilic, they are usually also significantly swollen. Swelling leads to purely physical dilution of interaction and weakens attachment; however, these nonspecific contributions are usually not separated from the specific effect of polymer chemi…

The single graphene layer is a novel material consisting of a flat monolayer of carbon atoms packed in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, in which the electron dynamics is governed by the Dirac equation. A pseudo-spin phase-space approach based on the Wigner–Weyl formalism is used to describe the ballistic transport…

Decoherence of quantum objects in noisy environments is important in quantum sciences and technologies. It is generally believed that different processes coupled to the same noise source have similar decoherence behaviors and stronger noises cause faster decoherence. Here we show that in a quantum bath, the case can b…
