Elastin synthesis and physiologic compliance are significant challenges in blood vessel tissue engineering. Here, we report that a biocompatible elastomeric scaffold can support the co-expression of elastin and collagen, which likely yielded the physiologic compliance in the constructs. A biodegradable elastomer, poly…

Amorphous Si1−xCx/SiC multilayer films were prepared by alternating deposition of Si-rich Si1−xCx and near-stoichiometric SiC layers by using magnetron sputtering. The as-deposited films were annealed at different temperatures (Ta) from 800 to 1100 °C. The influence of Ta and Si content in the Si-rich layer on the lay…

We study boron-doped single-walled carbon nanotubes by using first-principles methods based on the density functional theory. The total energy, band structure, and density of states are calculated. From the formation energy of boron-doped nanotubes with different diameters, it is found that a narrower tube needs a sma…

Abstract The synthesis and properties of two closely related boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) derived dyads, incorporating redox‐active quinone units appended at the meso position, are described. For one dyad, the quinone unit is attached directly to the BODIPY core, whereas a phenylene spacer separates the two units in…
