A method is introduced to analyze the degeneracy properties of the band structure of a photonic crystal making use of the super cells. The band structure associated with a super cell of a photonic crystal has degeneracies at the edge of the Brillouin zone if the photonic crystal has some kind of point group symmetry.…
The behavior of bcc Mo and Nb under large strain was investigated using the ab initio pseudopotential density-functional method. We calculated the ideal shear strength for the ${211}〈111〉$ and ${011}〈111〉$ slip systems and the ideal tensile strength in the $〈100〉$ direction, which are believed to provide the minimum s…
Ligand-stabilised, water-soluble gold nanoparticles of two different size ranges (2-4 and 5-8 nm) are readily prepared using monohydroxy (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl) tetraethylene glycol as a novel capping agent. These nanoparticles are as stable as alkylthiol-capped monolayer protected clusters (MPCs) and do not aggregate…
We demonstrate that significant improvements in kinetics of co-crystal formation by grinding can be achieved by the addition of minor amounts of appropriate solvent.
Amino groups were covalently introduced onto a polycaprolactone (PCL) surface by the reaction between 1,6-hexanediamine and the ester groups of PCL. The occurrence of the aminolysis and the introduction of free NH(2) groups were verified qualitatively by fluorescence spectroscopy, where rhodamine B isothiocyanate was…
Stabilized zirconia in nanoparticles in c-ZrO2 polymorph has been synthesized with a small quantity of (5 mol%) additive of Cr3+ and Cr4+ cations by thermomechanical attrition (MA) process. The MA process allows the chromium cations to dissolve in the precursor in an amorphous state in order to obtain a stabilized pha…
Absorption, desorption and swelling behavior of polymers \nplay important roles in polymer processing and performance, ranging from issues of dimensional stability \nand permeability to controlling adhesion. Rich, nonlinear \nphenomena are associated with transient swelling and drying of glassy and semicry…
We report on the conformational properties and transitions of an ideal polymer chain near a solid surface. The chain is tethered with one of its ends at distance z(0) from an adsorbing surface. The surface is characterized by an adsorption parameter c. The exact expression for the partition function is available. We o…
Abstract The shape and size dependence of the anti‐reflective and light‐diffusing properties of surfaces with linear periodic grooves is studied. Grooves of triangular or rectangular cross‐sections on the front or back surface of a crystalline silicon layer are considered. Our method is an extension of the rigorous, t…
Water soluble paracyclophane chromophore dimers provide optical reporters that show little sensitivity to surfactants and thus are ideal for biosensor design. Strong intramolecular delocalization circumvents complications from intermolecular delocalization in spontaneously formed aggregates. The synthesis of 2 involve…
Abstract Our earlier paper (Jana, S.C.; Prieto, A. J Appl Polym Sci 2002, 86, 2159) on the development of natural fiber composites of high‐performance thermoplastic polymers described a new methodology for the manufacturing of composite materials of a high‐temperature thermoplastic polymer, poly(phenylene ether) (PPE)…
Although ATP is the most common phosphoryl group donor for kinases, some kinases from certain hyperthermophilic archaea such as Pyrococcus horikoshii and Thermococcus litoralis use ADP as the phosphoryl donor. Those are ADP-dependent glucokinases (ADPGK) and phosphofructokinases in their glycolytic pathway. Here, we s…
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to probe the nanostructure of shell cross-linked micelles in the solid state. A novel ABC triblock copolymer was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) comprising quaternized nitrogen atoms in the relatively hydrophilic “A” block, cross-linkable hydro…
The formation of closed-compact multilamellar vesicles (referred to in the literature as the ``onion texture'') obtained upon shearing lamellar phases is studied using small-angle light scattering and cross-polarized microscopy. By varying the shear rate $\stackrel{\ifmmode \dot{}\else \textperiodcentered \fi{}}{\ensu…
Abstract A series of polyisophthalamides containing pendent phthalimido groups and flexible side spacers were prepared from four novel diacids and three commercial aromatic diamines. These polyamides were prepared in high yields and with high molecular weights by direct polycondensation with triphenyl phosphite and py…
Cyanide-bridged molecular squares of [Fe(II)(2)Cu(II)(2)(mu-CN)(4)(dmbpy)(4)(impy)(2)](ClO(4))(4).4CH(3)OH.C(6)H(6) (1) and of [Fe(III)(2)Cu(II)(2)(mu-CN)(4)(dmbpy)(4)(impy)(2)](ClO(4))(6).4CH(3)OH.4H(2)O (2) (dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine; impy = 2-(2-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolyl-1-o…
Preparation of methylpseudoionones (precursors of methylionones) has been carried out by aldol condensation between citral and methyl ethyl ketone (Mek) using an amorphous aluminophosphate (ALPO), KF–Alumina and differently activated Al-Mg hydrotalcites as solid base catalysts. Activated hydrotalcites (calcined or cal…
Abstract Pyromellitic dianhydride (benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylic dianhydride) (1) was reacted with L ‐phenylalanine (2) in a mixture of acetic acid and pyridine (3 : 2) and the resulting imide‐acid [ N,N′ ‐(pyromellitoyl)‐bis‐ L ‐phenylalanine diacid] (4) was obtained in quantitative yield. The compound (4) was conv…
Abstract Different solvents used to determine the intrinsic viscosity and the viscometic constants, a and K , published in the literature for cellulose, were compared. The various parameters affecting the viscometric constants were also evaluated. The main conclusions obtained from the experimental data available in t…
The co-condensation of a tetraethoxysilane molecule on a neutral n-octylamine surfactant template is a convenient synthetic methodology for mesostructured material preparations. Distinct routes of template removal were investigated. The neutral surfactant was removed by calcination, hot solvent extraction, heating at…
