Scaffolds for heart valve tissue engineering must function immediately after implantation but also need to tolerate cell infiltration and gradual remodeling. We hypothesized that moderately cross-linked collagen scaffolds would fulfill these requirements. To test our hypothesis, scaffolds prepared from decellularized…
Metal nanostructures that support surface plasmons are compelling as plasmonic circuit elements and as the building blocks for metamaterials. We demonstrate here the spontaneous self-assembly of shaped silver nanoparticles into three-dimensional plasmonic crystals that display a frequency-selective response in the vis…
We show that the static force spectroscopy curve is significantly modified due to presence of intrinsic cantilever instability. This instability acts in tandem with such instabilities like water bridge or molecular bond rupture and makes the static force spectroscopy curve (including "jump-off-contact") dependent on t…
A new approach for photoluminescence imaging in vitro and in vivo has been shown utilizing near infrared to near infrared (NIR-to-NIR) up-conversion in nanophosphors. This NIR-to-NIR up-conversion process provides deeper light penetration into biological specimen and results in high contrast optical imaging due to abs…
SWISS-MODEL Repository (http://swissmodel.expasy.org/repository/) is a database of 3D protein structure models generated by the SWISS-MODEL homology-modelling pipeline. The aim of the SWISS-MODEL Repository is to provide access to an up-to-date collection of annotated 3D protein models generated by automated homology…
The emergence of semiconductor nanocrystals as the building blocks of nanotechnology has opened up new ways to utilize them in next generation solar cells. This paper focuses on the recent developments in the utilization of semiconductor quantum dots for light energy conversion. Three major ways to utilize semiconduct…
Abstract Abundant nanoballoons and nanotubes (less than 100 nm) of pure polymer have been grown from a hybrid microcapsule by programed heating. The hybrid microcapsule, comprising an organosilica shell and styrene core, was synthesized by a sol–gel reaction. Electronic microscopy confirmed that most of the growing na…
Polypyrrole (ppy) coatings doped with p-toluene sulfonate sodium on stainless steel mesh (SSM) have been electrosynthesized in aqueous solution. The removal of Ag+ ions from acidic solutions was investigated through spontaneous reduction (SR) and electrochemical reduction (ER) procedures using reduced composite ppy-SS…
Abstract The pulsed electroacoustic (PEA) method has been widely used to observe space charge distributions in various solid dielectric materials. The sensitivity of the conventional PEA system is around 1C/m 3 . When the charge density is less than 1C/m 3 , however, it is difficult to obtain an accurate result becaus…
Abstract The poly(ethylene 1‐octene)‐ g ‐maleic anhydride copolymers (POE‐ g ‐MAH) with high grafting degree (GD) (>9%) have previously been obtained by a solvothermal method in our laboratory. It is found that the low GD (less than 2.5%) did not change the bulk properties of polyolefine elastomers (POE). Therefore…
We have studied the paramagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic phase transition in spherical $\ensuremath{\beta}\text{-MnS}$ nanoparticles of well defined diameters in the range of 3--11 nm. The MnS nanoparticles were obtained by intrapore synthesis inside mesoporous silica matrices. Electron spin resonance and magnetization m…
Abstract The article presents results of studies on composites made from poly(propylene) (PP) modified with poly(aniline) (PANI) doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) and chlorinated poly(propylene) (CPP). The volume resistivity of PP/CPP/PANI composites was detected, and the results show that the volume resi…
When performing global and local electrochemical impedance measurements with metals or alloys covered by an oxide layer, CPE behavior ascribed to a 3-D normal distribution of an oxide property is often seen in the high-frequency range. Impedance data obtained with Nb anodically polarized in acid fluoride medium (thick…
A new compound, dipotassium holmium(III) phosphate(V) tungstate(VI), K(2)Ho(PO(4))(WO(4)), has been obtained during investigation of the K(2)O-P(2)O(5)-WO(3)-HoF(3) phase system using the flux technique. The compound is isotypic with K(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)). Its framework structure consists of flat (∞) (2)[HoPO(4)] layer…
Abstract In this article, we report the synthesis of crosslinked chitosan using 8 MeV electron beam (EB) irradiation in the presence of carbon tetrachloride. The crosslinked chitosan is characterized by dissolution, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (…
Invisible cloak derived from the coordinate transformation requires its constitutive material to be anisotropic. In this work, we present a cloak of graded-index isotropic material based on the geometrical optics theory. The cloak is realized by concentric multilayered structure with designed refractive index to achie…
A method for characterizing the magnetoelastic dependence of both Young's modulus and damping on the magnetic field is presented. It is based on laser Doppler vibrometry and free longitudinal vibration in soft ferromagnetic rods and wires, and offers a broad range of improved features including accuracy, lack of inter…
Adsorption of well-defined fluorinated polymers onto clinically relevant poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) substrates offers an attractive method for modifying the surface properties of chemically inert PTFE. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) was successfully used for synthesis of the polymers in…
Recently, we reported electro-optical switching in a blue phase III (BPIII) stabilized using a T-shaped chiral liquid crystal. For this study, we investigated electro-optical effects in BPIII and in BPII of a binary system of a non-chiral T-shaped nematic liquid crystal and a chiral compound. An electric-field-induced…
Based on a mesoscale model developed recently for polyamide-66, here we present a simple algorithm for reinserting the atomistic details neglected in the coarse-grained (CG) description. The resulting CG and detailed models are tested successfully against several structural properties including the number of hydrogen…
