Abstract Nucleation characteristics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) nucleated by the α/β compounded nucleating agents (NAs) were investigated by wide‐angle X‐ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry and mechanical testing. The results showed that the nucleation effect of the α/β compounded NAs depends on not…

A targeted dendrimeric anticancer prodrug, a conjugate of generation 5 (G5) polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer, folic acid (FA), and methotrexate (MTX), has been successfully synthesized by using a novel "one pot" approach which is simple, reproducible, and feasible for large-scale synthesis. All dendrimer products have…

We report an experimental and theoretical lattice-dynamics study of yttrium orthovanadate $({\text{YVO}}_{4})$ up to 33 GPa together with a theoretical study of its structural stability under pressure. Raman-active modes of the zircon phase are observed up to 7.5 GPa, where the onset of an irreversible zircon-to-schee…

Much progress has been made recently in the study of the effects of electron-phonon (el-ph) coupling in doped insulators using angle resolved photoemission (ARPES), yielding evidence for the dominant role of el-ph interactions in underdoped cuprates. As these studies have been limited to doped Mott insulators, the imp…

Magnetism is not usually expected in simple sp oxides like MgO or in carbons like graphite. Yet basic intrinsic defects in these systems can be magnetic in ways that seem to be shared by more complex oxides. A second puzzle comes from reports of possible room temperature ferromagnetism in simple oxides, where experime…

The application of colloidal nanocrystals in various devices requires their assembly into well-defined mono- or multilayers. We explore the possibilities of the Langmuir-Schaefer technique to make such layers, using CdSe quantum dots as a model system. The layer quality is assessed using atomic force microscopy, trans…

We report transport measurements on etched graphene nanoribbons. We show that two distinct voltage (i.e. energy) scales can be experimentally extracted for characterizing the parameter regions of suppressed conductance at low charge density in graphene nanoribbons. The energy scales are related to the charging energy…

The present paper reports on the spatially controlled synthesis of silver nanoparticles (NPs) and silver nanowires by photosensitized reduction. In a first approach, direct photogeneration of silver NPs at the end of an optical fiber was carried out. Control of both size and density of silver NPs was possible by chang…

This review covers some of the basic theoretical aspects of the electronic and magnetic structure of graphene nanoribbons, starting from the simplest tight-binding models to the more sophisticated ones where the electron–electron interactions are considered at various levels of approximation. Nanoribbons can be classi…

This study demonstrates that collagen, the most abundant protein in animals, exists as a distribution of nanoscale morphologies in teeth, bones, and tendons. This fundamental characteristic of Type I collagen has not previously been reported and provides a new understanding of the nanoscale architecture of this ubiqui…

We review the tight-binding model of bilayer graphene which describes four low-energy electronic bands near the corner of the first Brillouin zone. The model takes into account terms arising from nearest and next-nearest neighbour hopping within each layer, non-orthogonality of atomic orbitals, various inter-layer cou…

The polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) route has been combined with a warm-pressing process to synthesize for the first time boron nitride workpieces avoiding the conventional sintering process. A polyborazylene was synthesized with a controlled degree of cross-linking suitable to be warm-pressed into cylindrical green b…

Abstract Great achievements have been made in the research of biobased thermoplastic polymers, but the progress concerning thermosetting resins has been minor. In particular, research on high‐performance thermosetting polymers from renewable feedstock has not been reported elsewhere. A novel biobased epoxy was synthes…

Introduction Although studied less than aquatic diatoms, aerial diatoms are discussed in an extensive literature. Most publications on the topic consist merely of floristic lists. Thus our understanding of aerial diatom ecology is meager. Given the brevity of the current chapter, it is not possible to list all of the…

The growth of metal oxide nanocrystals with a well-organized crystalline phase is of fundamental and technological interest because in this way it is possible to tune their size-dependent unique properties. In this communication, we demonstrate the selective growth of monoclinic and tetragonal ZrO(2) nanocrystals of <…

We review the transmission properties of carriers interacting with potential barriers in graphene. The tunneling of electrons and holes in quantum structures in graphene is found to display features that are in marked contrast with those of other systems. In particular, the interaction between the carriers with electr…

Abstract In this study, a novel synthetic route was developed to prepare polyimide–nanocrystalline–titania hybrid optical films with a relatively high titania content (up to 50 wt %) and thickness (20–30 μm) from soluble polyimides containing hydroxyl groups. Two series of newly soluble polyimides were synthesized fro…

A dynamical nonequilibrium temperature has been proposed to describe relaxational equations for the heat flux. This temperature provides an alternative description to the Maxwell-Cattaneo equation. In the linear regime and in bulk systems both descriptions are equivalent but this is not so when nonlinear effects are i…
