Nanodiscs are protein-lipid particles that furnish a nanometer-sized membrane environment for the investigation of membrane proteins. Nanodiscs assemble spontaneously upon the removal of cholate from an initial mixture of cholate, lipids, and engineered amphipathic proteins. A combined experimental-computational appro…
Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) nanorods of 200 and 80 nm diameters were prepared by infiltrating porous anodic alumina oxide templates with polymer melt, and the crystallinity and orientation of various forms of sPS crystals in the nanorods were studied by FTIR spectroscopy and electron diffraction. For sPS crystalliz…
An atmospheric-pressure microplasma reactor was developed for the fabrication of tunable photoluminescent silicon nanocrystals. A mixture of argon, hydrogen, and silicon tetrachloride was activated by a capacitively coupled non-equilibrium plasma generated in a capillary glass tube with a volume less than 1 µl. The mi…
The influence of two kinds of polymers (polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile−styrene copolymer (SAN)) on the crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) has been investigated by means of wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The c…
The structural characteristics of all the borates available were analyzed using the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. The fundamental building blocks (FBBs) in 841 borates were systematically classified into 6 types in terms of their topological structures. By including the polymerization of the FBBs in the borate…
Amaranth protein-lipid (PL) and protein (P) films were elaborated and compared with amaranth flour films in order to determine the contribution of the interactions between the biopolymer (starch and protein) and the lipids to the film properties. The films were made by the casting method, using the same glycerol conce…
A three-dimensional system of interacting spins typically develops static long-range order when it is cooled. If the spins are quantum (S = 1/2), however, novel quantum paramagnetic states may appear. The most highly sought state among them is the resonating valence bond (RVB) state in which every pair of neighboring…
Water contact angle measurement is the most common method for determining a material's wettability, and the sessile drop approach is the most frequently used. However, the method is generally limited to macroscopic measurements because the base diameter of the droplet is usually greater than 1 mm. Here we report for t…
A strained epitaxial film deposited on a deformable substrate undergoes a morphological instability relaxing the elastic energy by surface diffusion. The nonlinear and nonlocal dynamical equations of such films with wetting interactions are derived and solved numerically in two and three dimensions. Above some critica…
The ability to control the shape of metal nanocrystals is critical to applications such as catalysis, magnetism, and plasmonics. Despite significant advances in controlling the shapes of single-metal nanocrystals, rigorous shape control of multimetal nanocrystals remains challenging, and has been limited largely to al…
We report the synthesis, by solvothermal methods, of the tetradecametallic cluster complexes [M14(L)6O6(OMe)18Cl6] (M=FeIII, CrIII) and [V14(L)6O6(OMe)18Cl6-xOx] (L=anion of 1,2,3-triazole or derivative). Crystal structure data are reported for the {M14} complexes [Fe14(C2H2N3)6O6(OMe)18Cl6], [Cr14(bta)6O6(OMe)18Cl6]…
We find that an electric current I exceeding the threshold value results in torsional strain of o-TaS3 samples with one contact freely suspended. The rotation angle deltavarphi of the free end achieves several degrees and exhibits hysteresis as a function of I. The sign of deltavarphi depends on the I polarity; a pola…
Heterogeneous materials abound in nature and man-made situations. Examples include porous media, biological materials, and composite materials. Diverse and interesting properties exhibited by these materials result from their complex microstructures, which also make it difficult to model the materials. In this first p…
Photoinduced circular dichroism experiments in an oblique magnetic field allow measurements of Larmor precession frequencies, and so give a precise determination of the electron Lande g factor and its anisotropy in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots emitting at 1.32 eV. In good agreement with recent theoretical res…
The development of the semiconductor quantum cascade laser (QCL) [1] has enabled bright coherent sources operating at frequencies between the optical (>100 THz) and electronic (<0.5 THz) ranges opening this frequency region for fundamental science investigations [2-5] as well as for applications [6]. However, detailed…
Point defect migration is considered as a mechanism for aging in ferroelectrics. Numerical results are given for the coupled problems of point defect migration and electrostatic energy relaxation in a two-dimensional domain configuration. The peak values of the clamping pressure at domain walls are in the range of ${1…
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide We report different wetting properties of Cu(110) and Cu(111) at near-ambient conditions using in situ photoemission spectroscopy. At near-ambient conditions of pressure (1 Torr) and temperature (295 K), the Cu(110) surface is covered with a mixed OH and H 2 O layer,…
Abstract The nanofiber deposition method, by electrospinning, was employed to introduce antibacterial activity and biocompatibility to the surface of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) textiles. The polymer blends of PET and chitosan were electrospun on to the PET micro‐nonwoven mats for biomedical applications. The…
Large-pore SBA-15 silicas were synthesized using poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer Pluronic P123 as a template and hexane as a micelle expander. The reaction was initially carried out at 15 degrees C, followed by the heating of the synthesis gel at temperatures from 40 to…
A stimuli-responsive magnetic nanoparticle system for diagnostic target capture and concentration has been developed for microfluidic lab card settings. Telechelic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) polymer chains were synthesized with dodecyl tails at one end and a reactive carboxylate at the opposite end by the r…
