Upconverting phosphors (UCPs) are very attractive reporters for fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based bioanalytical assays. The large anti-Stokes shift and capability to convert near-infrared to visible light via sequential absorption of multiple photons enable complete elimination of autofluorescence, w…

For Al, TiAl3, TiAl, Ti3Al, and Ti a morphological threshold from porous to tubular self-ordered anodic oxide structures as well as the length scale of self-ordering are demonstrated to strongly depend on the substrate composition and anodization voltage of self-organization. The results are consistent with a simple v…

Abstract Colloidal particles with well‐defined sizes can self‐assemble into ordered, crystalline structures under non‐equilibrium conditions. This phenomenon originates from the various forces acting upon them. In this article, we provide an overview on the forces at work in a colloidal system, in particular, the role…

Indium doped zinc oxide (IZO) thin films are grown onto Corning glass substrates using the spray pyrolysis technique. The effect of doping concentration on the structural, electrical and optical properties of IZO thin films is studied. X-ray diffraction studies show a change in preferential orientation from the (0 0 2…

We developed a novel and convenient method for the synthesis of a potentially safe non-viral gene delivery vehicle based on the cationic block copolymer of spermine and aspartic acid (ASSP) and coupled it with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The copolymer ASSP was prepared by direct polycondensation in the ionic liquid, bu…

In order to improve thermo mechanical properties of cured epoxy resin, hydroxyl terminated polyethersulfone (PES) and N,N′-bismaleimido-4,4′-diphenyl methane (BMI) were incorporated to diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) type epoxy resin and cured with diaminiodiphenylmethane (DDM). The resulting hybrid matrices,…

Two different models accounting for the dependences of χ and g interaction parameters on both temperature and composition have been applied to different ternary polymer systems (TPS) solvent(1)/polymer(2)/polymer(3). The analyzed TPS have consisted on ten different polymer mixtures in chloroform as common solvent that…

In this report, a polystyrene−ionic liquid (PS-IL) composite nanofiber was successfully produced for the first time by an electrospinning method. The electrospun composite films were characterized by SEM, FTIR, cyclic voltammetry, water contact angle (WCA) measurement, and conductivity measurement. The dimension, morp…

Sorption is a common treatment for removing pollutants from natural environments. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), which consist of brucite-like positive layers and sodium dodecyl sulfate intercalated with LDH (SDS−LDH), are considered to be potential organic pollutant sorbents. The objectives of this study were (1)…

Bi 5 Ti 3 Fe O 15 bulk ceramic and thin film samples are prepared using the sol-gel method. The dielectric, ferroelectric, and magnetic behaviors of these samples are measured in order to investigate the possible multiferroic effect. The superparamagnetic behavior with dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) interaction back…

The accidental discovery over 300 years ago of the artists' pigment Prussian blue, iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II), opened up a whole new area of chemistry—that of the cyanide radical. The variable composition of Prussian blue has tantalized chemists, until investigations by X-ray crystallography in the late 20th centu…

We study the spin dynamics of a long nanomagnet driven by an electrical current. In the case of only DC current, the spin dynamics has a sophisticated bifurcation diagram of attractors. One type of attractors is a weak chaos. On the other hand, in the case of only AC current, the spin dynamics has a rather simple bifu…
