The aim of the present work was the design of novel nanoparticle compositions based on poly(lactic acid/glycolic acid) (PLGA): poloxamer and PLGA: poloxamine blend matrices. For this purpose, we have applied a modified solvent diffusion technique that allows the preparation of the nanoparticles without the use of high…
Recent interest in fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid applications for the aerospace industry has led to the need for accurate computer simulation models to aid in system design and performance evaluation. To meet his requirement, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and fuel processor models have been developed and incorporated in…
Fluorination was performed for open- and closed-end single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by direct reaction of SWNTs with elemental fluorine gas. Structural changes of SWNTs by fluorination were investigated by XRD and Raman measurements. The fluorination mechanism is discussed.
Mesostructured binary Ni–Co alloys with various compositions are prepared for the first time by the electroless deposition of metal salts (nickel and cobalt) dissolved in aqueous domains of the lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of a non-ionic surfactant (Brij 56) at high concentrations. Mesostructured alloys with va…
The preferential orientation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on a substrate using a dip-coating approach is described. The extraction of a steel fiber from a dispersion of CNTs provides the necessary forces required for preferential orientation of the CNTs on the fiber surface. We study the effect of the orientation of the…
This paper investigates the process of human psychological perceptions of clothing- related sensations and comfort to develop an intellectual understanding of and method ology for predicting clothing comfort performance from fabric physical properties. Var ious hybrid models are developed using different modeling tech…
While the field of tissue engineering is a burgeoning one, progress with fat engineering has lagged, due in large part to problems associated with nurturing and sustaining this unique tissue in vivo. In a pilot study using an experimental rat model, we induced liponeogenesis with a combination of Matrigel and basic fi…
Ytterbium and neodymium have been shown to exhibit sensitised emission following excitation of pyrene chromophores. Sensitised emission is demonstrated in self-assembled complexes and in azamacrocycle derivatives bearing pendent pyrene groups. Energy transfer in these systems is dependent on the nature of the link bet…
A new sandwich-tpype dilutetium tetraphthalocyanine 4 has been synthesized by the reaction of dimeric lutetium(III) phthalocyanine 3 with two equiv. of dilithium octakishexylthiophthalocyanine in amyl alcohol. Compound 3 was prepared from 4',5',4",5"-tetraiminoisoindoline(1,4,7,10-tetrathia-12-crown-4) 1, 4,5-bis(hexy…
Large-scale long (NH4)0.5V2O5 nanowires have been synthesized by rational hydrothermal treatment of ammonium metavanadate at 170 °C. Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope analyses show that the nanowires have diameters of about 20–80 nm, and lengths up to 0.5 mm. Some self-assembled nanobel…
Aluminosilicate mesostructures (Si/Al = 1.6–49) with wormhole framework structures were assembled from protozeolitic nanoclusters (zeolite seeds) that normally nucleate the crystallization of faujasite (FAU), zeolite ZSM-5 (MFI) and zeolite Beta (BEA). The cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium, the electrically n…
Three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures on a glass capillary have a number of useful applications such as manipulators, actuators, and sensors in the various microstructures. We observed a phenomenon that two diamondlike-carbon pillars on a tip of glass capillary fabricated by 30 keV Ga+ focused-ion-beam-chemical vapor…
We investigated the dynamic behavior of 1-3 type magnetostrictive particulate composites as a function of both bias field (5-140 kA/m) and frequency (1-100 kHz). The composites consist of approximately 0.5 volume-fraction Terfenol-D particles embedded and magnetically aligned in a passive epoxy matrix. The measured pr…
A mixed surfactant approach has been successfully employed in an aerosol-based synthesis of spherical silica particles exhibiting a new core-shell structure where the shell and the core exhibit different ordered mesoporosity and pore sizes.
Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD) is a rare fibrosing skin disease of unknown etiology occurring in patients with terminal renal disease. It was first described in the year 2000. The histology of NFD shows an increased number of dendritic cells, fibroblasts and thickened collagen fibers resembling scleromyxedema.…
We investigated the influence of periodicity, misalignment, and disorder on the magnetic resonance gap of split-ring resonators (SRRs) which are essential components of left handed-metamaterials (LHMs). The resonance of a single SRR which is induced by the split is experimentally demonstrated by comparing transmission…
Cyano-bridged corrugated ladder-like chains are connected by mu(1,1)-N(3) (end-on, EO) bridges to form a layered coordination polymer, [Mn(N(3))(CH(3)OH)[Cr(phen)(CN)(4)].CH(3)OH (2), which is the first mixed cyano-azide bridged compound, and shows metamagnetism below 21.8 K, a temperature much higher than that (3.4 K…
Electrophilic functionalization of vapour-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNF) was accomplished via Friedel–Crafts acylation with 2,4,6-trimethylphenoxybenzoic acid in polyphosphoric acid using the improved conditions that we previously described. The progress of the reaction was conveniently monitored with FT-IR spectrosc…
New lanthanide heterometallic molecular squares functionalized with Ru-bipy antenna chromophore Ru2-Ln2 exhibit sensitized near-infrared emission upon photo-excitation of the Ru-centered antenna at 420 nm.
Nanowires of a variety of inorganic materials such as metal oxides, sulfides, nitrides and carbides have been synthesized and characterized in the last three to four years. Among the several strategies developed for the synthesis of these materials, the carbothermal route is noteworthy since it provides a general meth…
