Dual-stimuli-responsive surfaces are reported here that work under the external stimuli of temperature and/or pH, as demonstrated in the Figure: When the pH and/or temperature is varied, the contact angles (CAs) of the dual-responsive materials change reversibly. The general change in trend of wettability is that half…

Abstract High‐temperature vulcanized silicone rubber was prepared by using allyl‐capped carbosilane dendrimers, in which the core molecules were Si(CH 2 CHCH 2 ) 4 and Ph 2 Si(CH 2 CHCH 2 ) 2 as crosslinker and nanoscale reinforcing filler, respectively. Allyl‐capped carbosilane dendrimers improved the mechanical pr…

The objective of this paper is to extend the framework of the continuum theory so that it can capture the properties that are embedded in the microstructure or nanostructure and still keep its simplicity and efficiency. The model thus developed is capable of accounting for local deformation of microstructures in solid…

Abstract We synthesized hyperbranched poly(phenylene sulfide) (HPPS) in a simple “one‐pot” way by condensation of potassium 2,4‐dichlorlbenzenthiol. The molecular masses ( M w ) of the polymers obtained under the conditions of this work were from 6 × 10 3 to 1 × 10 5 . XRD pattern indicated substantial loss in crystal…

The intermolecular interaction force of actin was studied by a dynamic light scattering technique. The mutual diffusion coefficients (D) of monomeric actin were accurately determined in a G-buffer with a low concentration of KCl from 0 to 10 mM. The translational diffusion coefficient was obtained as D(0) = (87 +/- 3)…

The phase transition behaviour of two 'nearly cubic' compositions, x = 0.40 and 0.43, of Sr(1-x)Ca(x)TiO(3), representative of Pbnm and Pbcm space group structures, has been investigated using temperature dependent dielectric, x-ray diffraction and Raman scattering techniques. For x = 0.40, a first order antiferroelec…

Universal stress proteins (USPs) are abundant and widely distributed proteins. Even so, their mode of function is hardly understood. This study focuses on UspG (UP12) of Escherichia coli, which belongs to the UspFG subfamily. Resolution of UspG by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis uncovered a posttranslational modif…

Electron-excited X-ray mapping is a key operational mode of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The popularity of X-ray mapping persists despite the significant time penalty due to the relatively low output count rates, typically less than 25 kHz, that can b…

The first far-infrared absorption spectra of manganite samples at pressures P up to 10 GPa were obtained on La1-xCaxMnO3-y by use of synchrotron radiation. For x=0.25 and 0.20 (y=0), P promotes partial metallization at room temperature through a strong reduction of the insulating gap. An x=0.20 sample with y=0.08 does…
