A long ZnO nanorod array with good verticality and thin diameter is synthesized from a single solution by the hydrothermal route. Prior to the growth, a ZnO seed layer with the c -axis texturing and the monolayer distribution is deposited on the substrate by a modified sol−gel spin coating process. A molecule adsorpti…
This paper reports a systematic study of the dynamic process for the self-assembly of chiral organogels from achiral hydrogen bonded hydrazide foldamers by induction of chiral glucose. Six foldamers incorporated with six decyl chains and two benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, or pyrene units at the ends are revealed to…
This report describes the structural and optical properties of a series of spherical shell/core nanoparticles in which the shell is comprised of a thin layer of gold, silver, or gold-silver alloy, and the core is comprised of a monodispersed silica nanoparticle. The silica core particles were prepared using the Stöber…
Taking rapid and efficient formation of functional tissues as our long-term goal, we discuss in this study a new and generic approach toward formation of multilayered three-dimensional (3D) tissues using nanofibers. 3:1 poly (epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) (8% w/v)/collagen (8.0% w/v) solution was electrospun into nanofi…
We present a molecular dynamics based method for computing accurately short-range structural forces resulting from the overlap of spatially diffuse solid-liquid interfaces at wetted grain boundaries close to the melting point. The method is based on monitoring the fluctuations of the liquid layer width at different te…
Superhydrophobic surfaces have shown promising applications in microfluidic systems as a result of their water-repellent and low-friction properties over the past decade. Recently, designed microstructures have been experimentally applied to construct wettability gradients and direct the droplet motion. However, therm…

We show that single walled carbon nanotubes with different isotope compositions exhibit distinct Raman Gband peaks and can be used for multiplexed multi-color Raman imaging of biological systems. Cancer cells with specific receptors are selectively labeled with 3 differently colored SWNTs conjugated with various targe…
Understanding microscopic parameters that control steepness of the temperature variations of segmental relaxation (fragility) and the glass transition phenomenon remains a challenge. We present dielectric and mechanical relaxation studies of segmental dynamics in various polymers with different side groups and backbon…
The surface area of a single graphene sheet is 2630 m(2)/g, substantially higher than values derived from BET surface area measurements of activated carbons used in current electrochemical double layer capacitors. Our group has pioneered a new carbon material that we call chemically modified graphene (CMG). CMG materi…
The net differential phase shift Delta(t) introduced between the orthogonal p and s linear polarizations after four successive total internal reflections inside an in-line chevron dual-Fresnel-rhomb retarder is a function of the first internal angle of incidence phi and prism refractive index n. Retardance of 3lambda/…
We study the influence of disorder strength on the interface roughening process in a phase-field model with locally conserved dynamics. We consider two cases where the mobility coefficient multiplying the locally conserved current is either constant throughout the system (the two-sided model) or becomes zero in the ph…
Detailed understanding of structural evolution during the process of crystal nucleation is limited. In this contribution nucleation from the single component nematic phase of para -azoxyanisole is studied with particular emphasis on the structural relationships between liquid crystalline and crystalline phases in this…
Purpose To obtain an optimized microarc oxidation (MAO) coating on magnesium alloy from an environmentally‐friendly electrolyte free of Cr 6 + and P O 4 3− and to investigate the influence of oxidation potential on the morphology, composition, structure, and other properties such as micro‐hardness and corrosion resist…
Abstract Novel liquid crystalline (LC) hyperbranched (HB) polyesters comprising phenylbenzothiazole (PBT) unit as mesogen in the interiors were prepared at various feed mole ratios (A 2 /B 3 ) by solution polycondensation of a dioxydiundecanol derivative of PBT (A 2 monomer) with trimesic acid trimethyl ester (B 3 mon…
Abstract We synthesized a novel photoresponsive monomer, silicon‐containing azo monomer with paired mesogens in the side chain, by reacting 3‐methacryloxypropylmethyldichlorosilane with 2‐[2‐(4‐cyano‐azobenzene‐4′‐oxy)ethylene‐oxy]ethyl alcohol, a mesogenic group. Corresponding homopolymer and copolymers with methyl m…
The role of phenolic resin tackifier on autohesive tack of brominated isobutylene-co-p-methylstyrene (BIMS) rubber was studied by a 180° peel test with particular reference to aging. Phenolic resin showed very little effect on the unaged tack of BIMS rubber. The tack strength of the rubber/resin mixture marginally inc…
Potassium is an activator of the reaction catalyzed by homoisocitrate (HIc) dehydrogenase (HIcDH) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae with either the natural substrate, homoisocitrate, or the slow substrate isocitrate. On the basis of initial velocity studies, the selectivity of the activator site for monovalent ions was de…
In this paper we reported that low temperature plasma may reverse the direction of a chemical reaction. The thermodynamically forbidden reaction between H 2 and AlCl 3 was able to take place with the assistance of low temperature plasma, yielding metal Al. The plasma chemistry of the reaction was investigated by optic…
The structure and ferroelectric properties of PbZr 0.53 Ti 0.47 O 3 thin films were investigated in detail by using the x-ray diffraction technique. The surface morphology of the film was studied by using the atomic force microscopy technique, showing a film with a dense morphology and a smooth surface. Based on recen…
