This paper investigates the free vibration characteristics of micro-switches under combined electrostatic, intermolecular forces and axial residual stress, with an emphasis on the effect of geometric nonlinear deformation due to mid-plane stretching and the influence of Casimir force. The micro-switch considered in th…

We demonstrate the use of n/p polymer/polymer heterojunctions deposited by sequential solution processing to fabricate ambipolar field-effect transistors and complementary logic circuits. Electron and hole mobilities in the transistors were ∼0.001-0.01 cm(2)/(V s) in air without encapsulation. Complementary circuits i…

We present a theoretical study of the Pauli or spin-valley blockade for double quantum dots in semiconducting carbon nanotubes. In our model, we take into account the following characteristic features of carbon nanotubes: (i) fourfold (spin and valley) degeneracy of the quantum-dot levels, (ii) the intrinsic spin-orbi…

This study reports a simple colorimetric method for the sensitive detection of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) activity and inhibition using fluorosurfactant-capped gold nanoparticles (FSN-AuNPs). FSN stabilizes the AuNPs against conditions of high ionic strength, and FSN-AuNPs are merely aggregated in the pre…

Abstract Different pressure‐sensitive adhesives (PSAs) based on acrylic monomers were synthesized under different reaction conditions. The synthesized PSAs have good adhesive properties and without leaving any residue can be easily peeled off from the surface of a substrate. The relationship between PSAs rheological b…

Recently, a method for obtaining diffraction-attenuation resistant beams in absorbing media has been developed in terms of suitable superposition of ideal zero-order Bessel beams. In this work, we show that such beams keep their resistance to diffraction and absorption even when generated by finite apertures. Moreover…

Linear copolymers of ethylene and acrylic acid (PEAA) were prepared by catalytic polymerization of ethylene and tert-butyl acrylate followed by hydrolysis of the ester groups. The copolymers contained COOH groups inserted into the crystalline unit cell with formation of intramolecular hydrogen-bonds, as established on…

Abstract The dielectric properties and ac electrical conductivity of Al/polyindole (Al/PIN) Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were investigated by using admittance spectroscopy (capacitance–voltage [C‐V] and conductance–voltage [G/ω‐V]) method. These C‐V and G/ω‐V characterizations were performed in the frequency range o…

We have designed and synthesized oligosubstituted bullvalenes 1 and 2 as adaptive molecules that can change their shapes in order to bind tightly to a suitable guest. By incorporation of a photolabile o-nitroveratryloxycarbonate (NVOC) group into bullvalenes 1 and 2, tightly binding species can be selectively isolated…

We study local photooxidation and trap formation in all-polymer bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics (OPVs) using both time-resolved electrostatic force microscopy (trEFM) and conventional scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM). We create electron-trapping defects at known locations by locally photooxidizing ble…

The wettability of a titania surface, partially covered with octadecyltrihydrosilane, has been investigated as a function of solution pH. The results show that surface charge affects both static wettability and wetting kinetics. The static contact angle decreases above and below the point of zero charge of the titania…

The assembly behavior of aryl/alkyl imidazolium ionic liquid salts in aqueous solution has been investigated. These salts undergo self-assembly into one-dimensional stacks via hydrophobic and π-π interactions upon increasing concentration, which led to a substantial increase in the solution viscosity in water. Additio…
