The Sm–Fe/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) heterostructural film was prepared by depositing Sm–Fe nanoclusters onto the flexible PVDF film using cluster beam deposition method. The PVDF film acts as both piezoelectric layer and substrate. The heterostructural film showed the well-defined microstructures in which the Sm–…
We describe a general user-friendly platform for fine-tuning the drug release properties of low-molecular-weight hydrogels by a combination of supramolecular co-assembly of complementary molecular structures and controlled photochemical thiol–ene cross-linking. Other critical features such as thermomechanical stabilit…
Micron-sized and precise patterns of nanocrystalline CVD diamond were fabricated successfully on substrates using dispersed nanodiamond particles, charge connection by electrostatic self-assembly, and photolithography processes. Nanodiamond particles which had been dispersed using an attritional milling system were at…
This experiment adopted mixed acid (H2SO4:HNO3 = 3:1) to purify multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and used a silane coupling agent n-octyltriethoxysilane (OTES) to modify carbon nanotubes, respectively. Then we mixed OTES-modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin to make a composite. TG…
A design of experiments approach demonstrated how four formulation and processing factors (i.e., nanofiber type, use of dispersing agent, mixing method, and nanofiber weight fraction) affected the dynamic mechanical properties of carbon nanofiber/vinyl ester nanocomposites. Only <0.50 parts of nanofiber per hundred pa…
Sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT) was successfully modified by octadecylamine (ODA) through a cation exchange technique that showed by the increased of basal spacing of clay by XRD. The addition of the organoclay into the PBS/PBAT blends produced intercalated-type nanocomposites with improvements in tensile modulus and…
The synthesis and characterization of spherical sugar-containing polymer brushes consisting of PS cores onto which chains of sugar-containing polymers have been grafted via two different techniques are described. Photopolymerization in aqueous dispersion using the functional monomer MAGlc and crosslinked or non-crossl…
The strongly correlated CoO is investigated by means of DFT + U calculations to elucidate the origin of the cubic-to-monoclinic distortion observed below T N for that system. An effective U eff value between 4 and 5 eV is required to reproduce, in the meanwhile, the monoclinic symmetry, the band gap, and the type-II a…
pH-responsive amphiphilic graft macromolecules consisting of a polyphosphazene backbone, hydrophilic PEG branches and pH-sensitive DPA were successfully synthesized and characterized. The copolymer can self-assemble into vesicles in an aqueous solution with unique inner structure and homogeneously encapsulate both lip…
The structure of a colloidal dispersion consisting of anisometric natural clay particles (beidellite) was followed under shear-flow conditions by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements in a Couette-type cell. It is shown that in this shear-thinning dispersion an orientational order develops with increasing s…
An acid-base switchable dendritic complex was constructed by self-assembly between dibenzo-24-crown-8 terminated T(10)-POSS dendrimer and dibenzylammonium hexafluorophosphate salt based on T(8)-POSS. The formation and its threading-dethreading property were characterized by (1)H NMR and UV-visible absorption spectrosc…
The failure modes common to widely pursued carbon-nanotube-based nano-electromechanical systems are investigated. A fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms for failure and their relation to the device design space is developed through complementary in situ electromechanical characterization and dynamic…
Triphilic star-polyphiles are short-chain oligomeric molecules with a radial arrangement of hydrophilic, hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon chains linked to a common centre. They form a number of liquid crystalline structures when mixed with water. In this contribution we focus on a hexagonal liquid crystalline mesophase fo…
Neural scaffolds: A method for fabricating electrospun nanofiber membranes with arrayed microwells and aligned structural cues on their surfaces by using a collector assembled from stainless steel beads is reported. It is demonstrated that formation of cell microarrays and neuronal networks can be achieved using this…
Aligned nanorod inclusions have the potential to significantly improve both the photovoltaic and mechanical properties of polymeric materials. Establishing facile methods for driving or “corralling” the nanorods to self-assemble into such aligned morphologies could facilitate the fabrication of effective, robust devic…
Amphiphilic biodegradable succinylchitosan nanoparticles modified with folic acid are described that act as an emulsifier to form nanoparticles. Their molecular structures and physicochemical as well as self-assembly properties are characterized by means of FT-IR, ¹H NMR, FESEM, DLS, and TEM. The nanoparticles are 60-…
A one-step, large-scale preparation of alkyne-containing hyper-branched polyglycerols (HPG) is reported. The HPGs undergo click reactions to organic azides allowing a range of applications.
In this communication we report the synthesis, structural and preliminary physical characterisation of a new layered oxyselenide Ce(2)O(2)FeSe(2). This material, containing a 1D portion of the structure of the layered FeSe-related superconductors, is a semiconductor with a band gap of around 0.64 eV and orders antifer…
Microwave treatment of CuO nanotip/ZnO nanorod catalyst precursors has been demonstrated to remarkably enhance their activity in methanol reforming reactions. Studies using XRD, Raman, XPS, XAS, and HRTEM analyses conclude that comparative to conventional heating, microwave treatment significantly enhances the activit…
Liquid crystal display (LCD) modes associated with the rotation of the secondary director in nontilted, biaxial smectic phase of an achiral bent-core compound are demonstrated. For LCDs, we find that at least four display modes are possible using SmAPA phase of the studied material, in which the minor directors in adj…
