By use of a metallo-supramolecular concept, a linear iron(ii) coordination chain [Fe(II)(L)](n)(BF(4))(2n) (L = 1,4-bis(1,2':6',1''-bispyrazolylpyridin-4'-yl)benzene) was rationally designed and synthesized. The molecular chain shows a reversible spin transition at 323 K with a ca. 10 K wide hysteresis loop.
In view of the well-established anti-inflammatory properties of latex of Calotropis procera (DL), the present study was carried out to evaluate the protective effect of its methanol extract (MeDL) against inflammation and oxidative stress in monoarthritis induced by Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) in rats. Intra-arti…
The aim of this work is to evaluate the moisture absorption effect on the mechanical properties of a hybrid sandwich composite formed by orthophthalic polyester resin, reinforced by bi-directional woven fabrics of glass and jute fibers, with a central layer of polyester fabric (coremat). For the composite characteriza…
Group rate expressions for the hydrogen(H)-atom abstraction reactions from ethers by hydrogen atoms and hydroxyl(OH) radicals and the intramolecular hydrogen-transfer isomerization reactions of alkoxyalkylperoxy radicals, which result from the H-abstraction from ethers followed by the addition of O(2), have been evalu…
Seven cyanide-bridged bimetallic complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of [Fe(1-CH3im)(CN)5]2- with Mn(III) Schiff base complexes. Their crystal structure and magnetic properties have been characterized. Five complexes, [Mn2(5-Brsalen)2Fe(CN)5(1-CH3im)] x H2O (1), [Mn2(5-Clsalen)2(H2O)2Fe(CN)5(1-CH3im)] x H2…
In many applications, materials are modeled by a large number of particles (or atoms), where any particle can interact with any other. The computational cost is very high since the number of atoms is huge. Recently much attention has been paid to a so‐called quasi‐continuum (QC) method, which is a mixed atomistic/cont…
This study describes experiments to quantify polymer surface energy changes after exposure to atmospheric plasma. Atmospheric plasma treatment permits surface functionalization at near-ambient temperatures. Polyethylene and polystyrene are treated with an atmospheric plasma unit. The increased surface energy and impro…
The objective of this study was to create a novel approach to promote bone induction through sustained release of growth factor from a 3-dimensional (3D) hybrid scaffold. Peptide-amphiphile (PA) was synthesized by standard solid-phase chemistry that ends with the alkylation of the NH2 terminus of the peptide. Collagen…
Transparent indium-doped ZnO thin films were deposited by the spray pyrolysis method onto glass substrates. The content of indium in the starting solution was 0.5 at. %. The crystallographic structure of the film was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD measurement shows that the film is crystallized in the wurtzit…
Gold nanoparticles grown within the intracellular confines of living cells are introduced as potential surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates for confocal Raman spectrometry. Electron microscopy and a silver-enhanced reflectance laser scanning confocal microscopic approach were used to visualize the size,…
The previously reported simplified cylindrical linear cloak is improved so that the cloak's outer surface is impedance-matched to free space. The scattering characteristics of the improved linear cloak is compared to the previous counterpart as well as the recently proposed simplified quadratic cloak derived from quad…
A nanocomposite of polyaniline (PANI) and multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) was prepared by the in situ chemical polymerization of aniline in well-dispersed CNT solution. The PANI/CNT composite was employed as an active cathode material in rechargeable lithium polymer cells. Gel polymer electrolyte based on the porous…
An electron donor/acceptor pi-conjugated polymer composed of a bi-EDOT and benzobis(thiadiazole) repeat unit exhibits two reductions with a band gap ranging from approximately 0.5 to 0.8 eV depending on the method of band gap determination.
The mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of the titanium-tantalum alloys together with pure titanium are comparatively studied for biomedical applications in this study. The experimental results confirm the previous theoretic investigation that tantalum has a potential to enhance the streng…
The compound wire-tap channel is studied, which is based on the classical wire-tap channel with the channel from the source to the destination and the channel from the source to the wire-tapper taking a number of states, respectively. This channel can also be viewed as the wire-tap channel with mul-tiple destinations…
BACKGROUND: Chitin self-assembly provides a dynamic extracellular biomineralization interface. The insoluble matrix of larval shells of the marine bivalve mollusc Mytilus galloprovincialis consists of chitinous material that is distributed and structured in relation to characteristic shell features. Mollusc shell chit…
In this work we report on the growth of a closely stacked double layer of a self-organized nanotubes. For that we first anodize Ti in acidic electrolyte containing hydrofluoric acid to form thin nanotube layers. Afterwards we start a second anodization in a different electrolyte, a mixture. This procedure allows us to…
Interactions between coating thickness, modulus and shear rate on pseudobarnacle adhesion to a platinum-cured silicone coating were studied using a statistical experimental design. A combined design method was used for two mixture components and two process variables. The two mixture components, vinyl end-terminated p…
Improvement of surface enhanced resonant Raman scattering (SERRS) signals is demonstrated by confining the scattering event to the core of a hollow core microstructured optical fiber. The analyte solution fills the entire microstructure. The pump light is guided in the liquid core and the Raman scattered signal is eff…
Molecular growth processes utilizing polyoxometalate-based building blocks with silver connecting units have been used to produce four new materials: 1, [Ag3(bhepH)8(W11.5Na0.5O40P)2]·8H2O (bhep = N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine); 2, [Ag4(DMSO)8(Mo8O26)]n; 3, {Ag3[MnMo6O18{(OCH2)3CNH2}2(DMSO)5]·3(DMSO)}n; 4, {Ag3[M…
