A tadpole shaped poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL; M n = 24 500) was made amphiphilic by grafting the two PCL tails with PEO. In the first step, a macrocyclic PCL was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (εCL) initiated by a cyclic tin(IV) dialkoxide and stabilized by local intramolecular photo-cross-…
The past decade has witnessed a substantial increase in research on synthesis techniques for pure and doped carbon nanotubes and their involved parameters. However, there is a missing link between the ideal synthesis conditions for high quality functionalized structures with heteroatoms such as nitrogen and the format…
Carbon nano-onions (CNO) are made of concentric fullerene-like shells and range from double- and triple- to multilayered structures. They remain the least studied allotrope of carbon yet. In the present study, a one-step process for functionalization of CNO (50−100 nm diameter) by addition of fluorine through direct f…
This review of tendon/collagen structure shows that the orientational variation in MRI signals from tendon, which is referred to as the "magic angle" (MA) effect, is caused by irreducible separation of charges on the main chain of the collagen molecule. These charges are held apart in a vacuum by stereotactic restrict…
We report the observation of a current-driven metal (M)-insulator (I) phase oscillation in two-terminal devices incorporating individual WxV1-xO2 nanobeams connected to parallel shunt capacitors. The frequency of the phase oscillation reaches above 5 MHz for approximately 1 mum long devices. The M-I phase oscillation,…
Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging employs the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) mechanism to detect mobile endogenous proteins and peptides. It can be used to detect pH reduction during acute ischemia and thus provide complementary information to perfusion-weighted (PWI) and diffusion-weighted (DWI) imagi…
Steady State Isotopic Transient Kinetic Analysis (SSITKA) coupled with Temperature-Programmed Surface Reaction (TPSR) experiments, using on line Mass Spectroscopy (MS) and in situ DRIFTS have been performed to study essential mechanistic aspects of the selective catalytic reduction of NO by H 2 under strongly oxidizin…
Abstract Research on the electrospinning of nanofibers has increased in recent years because of the number of potential applications in different areas, ranging from technical textiles (e.g., filters, composite reinforcements, and protective fabrics) to biomedical commodities and devices such as bandages, membranes, b…
Zirconium based alloys have been irradiated with 11 and 15 MeV proton and 116 MeV oxygen ions at different doses. The changes in the microstructure have been studied for the ion irradiated alloys as a function of dose using X-Ray Diffraction Line Profile Analysis (XRDLPA) based on the whole powder pattern fitting tech…
The cyanides $M$CN, $M$=Cu, Ag, Au, have experimentally a structure with hexagonally packed, infinite -$M$-CN-$M$-CN- chains. Following our earlier study for AuCN, we now predict that all three $M$CN could have an alternative $M_3$C$_3$N$_3$ sheet structure of comparable energy with the known one. The valence isoelect…
The spillover of atomic hydrogen from supported Au particles on TiO 2 has been studied. IR spectroscopy detects trapped electrons in the TiO 2 lattice produced by the atomic H delivered from the Au. The spillover process is one-half order in P H 2 and the activation energy for H 2 dissociation on Au is 0.52 ± 0.02 eV.…
It is shown for an electron-nucleus mixture that the electron and nuclear pressures are defined clearly and simply by the virial theorem; the total pressure of this system is a sum of these two pressures. The electron pressure is different from the conventional electron pressure being expressed as the sum of two times…
Since the beginning of this century, new polymer morphologies beyond the conventional ones have been found in several complex polymer systems. This article summarizes the very recent advances in morphological studies on block copolymer-based multiple component polymer systems that possess characteristic chain connecti…
Ellipso-porosimetry and electrochemical techniques were used to characterize porosity and molecular transport into mesostructured porous silica thin films displaying various structures. The films have been prepared by the evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as th…
The semi-classical Bloch-Boltzmann theory is at the heart of our understanding of conduction in solids, ranging from metals to semi-conductors. Physical systems that are beyond the range of applicability of this theory are thus of fundamental interest. This is the case of disordered systems which present quantum inter…
The ab initio full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method explicitly designed for the slab geometry was employed to elucidate the physical origin of the layer potentials for the trilayers nFe/3Cr/nFe(001), where n is the number of Fe monolayers. The thickness of the transition-metal ferromagnet has been rang…
The diffraction peaks of Zircaloy-2 and Zr-2.5%Nb alloys at various deformations are found to be asymmetric in nature. In order to characterize the microstructure from these asymmetric peaks of these deformed alloys, X-Ray Diffraction Line Profile Analysis like Williamson-Hall technique, Variance method based on secon…
We consider the optical conductivity of carriers scattered by local sombrero potentials associated with hindered planar rotators in solids. Examples for hindered rotators are provided by off-center substitutional Li ions in colored alkali halides and off-site apical oxygens O(A) in layered perovskites. We obtain off-c…
First principles calculations based on generalized-gradient approximation to density functional theory are performed to study structural and electronic properties of the 2D sheets consisting of the elemental boron. The results find that the boron sheet can be stable and can possess metallic or semiconducting character…
Lamellae-forming polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) films were directed to assemble with perpendicularly oriented domains and long-range order in confining grooves (see figure), with preferential and neutral wetting in sidewalls and bottoms, respectively. The assembled films were highly amenable for pattern t…
