A hydrophobic, CF3-functionalized silica aerogel has been applied to water-oil mixtures to determine oil absorbing capacity of the solid aerogel. Preliminary tests on Prudhoe Bay crude oil mixed with salt water, using the aerogel in powder form, show three regimes for absorbing based on oil to aerogel wt ratios (O/A):…

This paper demonstrates the viability of in-situ transmission electron microscopy for studying the deformation mechanisms of polymer nano-composites. In-situ straining studies are performed on carbon multiwalled nanotube (MWNT)-polystyrene composite films. The experiments show that load transfer across the nanotube-po…

The lattice thermal conductivity of a thermoelectric material can be significantly reduced at ordinary temperatures by boundary scattering but the beneficial effect on the figure of merit can sometimes be more than offset by boundary scattering of the charge carriers. Here we extend the previous theory to include both…

The oxidation behavior of three precursor‐derived ceramics—Si 4.46 BC 7.32 N 4.40 (AMF2p), Si 2.72 BC 4.51 N 2.69 (AMF3p), and Si 3.08 BC 4.39 N 2.28 (T2/1p)—was investigated at 1300° and 1500°C. Scale growth at 1500°C in air can be approximated by a parabolic rate law with rate constants of 0.0599 and 0.0593 μm 2 /h…

Magnetoliposomes (MLs) conjugated with an antibody fragment to give specificity to a tumor were applied to hyperthermia for cancer. The Fab' fragment of the G250 antibody, which binds to MN antigen on many types of human renal cell carcinoma, was cross-linked to N-(6-maleimidocaproyloxy)-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethano…

Macromolecules conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) acquire more hydrophilicity, resulting in a longer half-life in circulation and lower immunogenicity. Two novel conjugates for MRI contrast agents were synthesized from a generation-4 polyamidoamine dendrimer (G4D), 2-(p-isothiocyanatobenzyl)-6-methyl-diethylene…

The luminescence of nanocrystalline cubic yttria has been measured for 300 and 80 K. A blueshift and a broadening of the absorption edge, both depending on the particle size were found. The energy of the radiation emitted due to the recombination of a bound exciton does not depend on particle size. The observations ar…

A simple methodfor the fabrication of anodic aluminum oxide films (AOFs) with perfectly ordered structures (see Figure) is presented by these authors. A common optical grating is used to prepattern the aluminum substrate, which is subsequently anodized under mild conditions to yield an AOF with a photonic bandgap in t…
