Abstract This article gives an overview of the current progress of a class of supramolecular soft materials consisting of fiber networks and the trapped liquid. After discussing the up‐to‐date knowledge on the types of fiber networks and the correlation to the rheological properties, the gelation mechanism turns out t…
BACKGROUND: Topical microbicides, used by women to prevent the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections are urgently required. Dendrimers are highly branched nanoparticles being developed as microbicides. However, the anti-HIV and HSV structure-activity relationship of dendrimers comprising benzyh…
A uniaxial chiral metamaterial is constructed by double-layered four “U” split ring resonators mutually twisted by 90°. It shows a giant optical activity and circular dichroism. The retrieval results reveal that a negative refractive index is realized for circularly polarized waves due to the large chirality. The expe…
BACKGROUND: Collagen, a triple-helical, self-organizing protein, is the predominant structural protein in mammals. It is found in bone, ligament, tendon, cartilage, intervertebral disc, skin, blood vessel, and cornea. We have recently postulated that fibrillar collagens (and their complementary enzymes) comprise the b…
Ultrafiltration membranes based on cylinder-forming block copolymers are made by orienting the cylinders perpendicular to the membrane surface followed by selective etching of the minority component. Such membranes promise fast fluxes and superior molecular weight cut-offs. The perpendicular orientation of the cylindr…
Graphene is a two-dimensional material with exceptional electronic properties and enormous potential for applications. Graphene’s promise as a chemical sensor material has been noted but there has been little work on practical chemical sensing using graphene, and in particular, how chemical functionalization may be us…
Abstract One‐dimensional LaOCl: Ln 3+ (Ln 3+ = Eu 3+ /Sm 3+ , Tb 3+ , Tm 3+ ) nanofibers, nanotubes, and quasi‐1D microbelts are successfully prepared by a sol–gel/electrospinning process. XRD, FT‐IR, SEM, TEM, as well as photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescecne (CL) spectra are used to characterize the resultin…
We examine mobility and saturation velocity in graphene on SiO2 above room temperature (300–500 K) and at high fields (∼1 V/μm). Data are analyzed with practical models including gated carriers, thermal generation, “puddle” charge, and Joule heating. Both mobility and saturation velocity decrease with rising temperatu…
Abstract Hydrous ruthenium oxide (RuO 2 )/graphene sheet composites (ROGSCs) with different loadings of Ru are prepared by combining sol–gel and low‐temperature annealing processes. The graphene sheets (GSs) are well‐separated by fine RuO 2 particles (5–20 nm) and, simultaneously, the RuO 2 particles are anchored by t…
A TM-pass/TE-stop polarizer consisting of a metal film sandwiched between dielectric gratings is investigated using the finite-difference time-domain method. At normal incidence with respect to the grating plane, a transmissivity of more than 94% and a reflectivity of more than 98% are obtained at m for the TM and TE…
The poly(vinyl chloride) based nanocomposites with 3.0% weight content of the photo-active zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles or the photo-inert calcium carbonate (CaCO3) nanoparticles was prepared by the solution mixing method, respectively. Their photo-oxidative degradation under ultraviolet irradiation (365 nm) at room…
The cyclic reaction between CH4 and O2 over perovskite-type La0.8Sr0.2Fe0.8Co0.2O3−δ, La0.75Sr0.25Fe0.6Co0.15Al0.25O3−δ and La0.8Sr0.2Fe0.8Co0.2O3−δ/γ-AlO(OH), impregnated with 0.5 wt% Rh or Pt, was studied at 873 K. Synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction patterns of La0.75Sr0.25Fe0.6Co0.15Al0.25O3−δ proved a rhomb…
Instability caused by high-energy γ-irradiation was studied in (As2S3)1−x(Sb2S3)x glasses (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3) using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, the obtained results being treated within a two-state trapping model. The observed decrease in the positron trapping rate of the glasses tested just aft…
Abstract Epoxides of soybean oil methyl esters (SMEs) are biodegradable, non‐toxic, and renewable epoxy plasticizers. The objective of the present work was to investigate the effects of free fatty acids on the enzymatic epoxidation of SMEs. The results showed that the epoxidation of SMEs depended on the type of the ad…
The removal of methylene blue (MB), a cationic dye and orange II (OII), an anionic dye, from aqueous solution by using carbon nanomaterials as multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and carbon nanofibers (CNF) as adsorbents was studied in batch experiments. The effect of pH, temperature and surface modification of adsor…
Two new experiments (single isomorphous replacement including anomalous-scattering effects and radiation damage-induced phasing) have been designed to complement the five experiments (sulfur single-wavelength anomalous diffraction, multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction, molecular replacement, ion binding and ligan…
Eu3+-Y3+ co-doping Ca0.54Sr0.34−1.5x Eu0.08Y x (MoO4) y (WO4)1−y (x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, 0.18, 0.20. y = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0), have been prepared and their luminescent properties are investigated to seek a new red-emitting phosphor for ultraviolet-light emitting diodes ch…
Abstract New well-defined polyethylene/poly(ethylene glycol) AB3-type hybrid materials have been developed, and the materials form nanosized particles in water (water dispersion, average particle size 18 nm) as a result of the self-assembly. This is the first example of nanosized particles comprised of polyolefin/pola…
The absence of the leucine biosynthesis pathway in humans makes the enzymes of this pathway in pathogenic bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis potential candidates for developing novel antibacterial drugs. One of these enzymes is isopropylmalate isomerase (IPMI). IPMI exists as a complex of two subunits: the la…
Abstract Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have either chiral or achiral form, and synthesized chiral SWNTs include both left- and right-handed structures in equal amounts. Recently, a racemic mixture was found to be resolved through molecular recognition with gable-type chiral diporphyrins, namely, nanotweezers.…
