Water-soluble CdS nanocrystals (NCs) capped with mercaptoacetic acid (MA) were synthesized in aqueous solution. Hydrogen peroxide directly oxidized the MA-capped CdS NCs and produced strong chemiluminescence (CL) emission in basic conditions. It was found that the CL of CdS NCs was size-dependent, and the CL intensity…
Highly pure single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with their contents >96% of the total products were achieved by chemical vapour deposition gas flow reactions using ethanol as the carbon source. The high purity SWNTs were formed under critically controlled synthesis conditions and by applying a high hydrogen flow, u…
The main aim of this work is to prepare MgO nanoparticles and nanowires by a novel polyol-mediated thermolysis (PMT) process. The influence of different mole concentration of magnesium acetate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP; capping agent) and ethylene glycol (EG; solvent as well as reducing agent) on the formation of na…
Abstract The influence of coupling agents on the melt rheological properties of natural fiber composites has been investigated in this work using capillary and rotational rheometers. Scanning electron microscopy was also employed to supplement the rheological data. It was found that molecular weight and molecular weig…
In this paper, an electro-active shape memory fibre was fabricated successively by incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). The shape memory polyurethane (SMP–MWNT) composite was prepared by in situ polymerization and the SMP–MWNT fibre was prepared by melt spinning. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and t…
The Liquid Tin Anode Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (LTA-SOFC) is a modified version of SOFC that allows the direct oxidation of carbonaceous fuels. The LTA-SOFC uses many conventional SOFC components but differs from conventional SOFC because its anode is liquid tin allowing directly oxidization of fuel without fuel reforming…
Gold nanorods synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetraoctylammonium bromide as stabilizers are functionalized with a thiol derivative of ruthenium(II) trisbipyridyl complex [(Ru(bpy)3(2+)-C5-SH] in dodecanethiol using a place-exchange reaction. The changes in the plasmon absorption bands and transmis…
The current Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains about 40 000 protein structures with approximately half a million incorrect atom positions resulting from erroneously assigned asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) rotamers. These errors affect applications in protein structure analysis, modeling and docking and therefore t…
X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy was used in conjunction with resonance-enhanced grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering to probe slow particle dynamics and kinetics in gold/polystyrene nanocomposite thin films. Such enhanced coherent scattering enables, for the first time, measurement of the particle dyna…
Abstract A new diamine containing a pyridine heterocyclic group and a naphthalene substituent, 4‐(2‐naphthyl)‐2,6‐bis(4‐aminophenyl) pyridine (NBAPP), was synthesized with the Chichibabin reaction and used in the preparation of poly(pyridine imide) by direct polycondensation with 4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidenediphathal…
This paper reports on the intense broadband photoluminescence (PL) emission from the ZnO/porous silicon nanocomposite films. The porous silicon (PS) samples were formed by electrochemical anodization on p-type (1 0 0) silicon wafer and ZnO thin films are deposited by the sol–gel spin coating technique in the pores of…
For polymer nanocomposites, the small size of the fillers makes it difficult to analyze the degree of mixing quantitatively and often requires direct assessment via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). To date, qualitative comparisons and indirect measurements of the degree of mixing by measurement of certain prope…
Thermally stable nanoporous organosilicate thin films were realized by the microphase separation of pore-generating polymers mixed with an organosilicate matrix to be antireflective coatings (ARCs), for which a thin film with a refractive index (n) of 1.23 for zero reflection is required. The refractive index of such…
In this study, we have electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) nanofibres and PVA composite nanofibres containing multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) (4.5 wt%), and examined the effect of the carbon nanotubes and the PVA morphology change induced by post-spinning treatments on the tensile properties, surface hydrophilici…
DNA likes corroles and peroxynitrite doesn't: The water-soluble manganese corrole (crystal structure shown) is a much better catalyst than the analogous porphyrin for decomposition of peroxynitrite (HOONO). The interactions of the two complexes with DNA are also significantly different. These findings suggest that pos…
Abstract Triangle terarylene derivatives based on the 4,5‐diarylthiazole structure have been synthesized and their photochromic properties have been studied both in solution and in the crystalline state. The thiazolyl‐substituted terarylenes displayed reversible photochromism in solution, with photocyclization quantum…
We have performed a first-principles computational tensile test on an aluminum grain boundary (GB) with sulfur segregation. We show that the tensile strength is reduced by 18% (to $7.80\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$) due to sulfur segregation in comparison with $9.50\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{GPa}$ o…
A binary mixture of oppositely charged colloids which is driven by an external electric field is studied by extensive Brownian dynamics computer simulations, ignoring hydrodynamic interactions. The particle interaction is modeled via a screened Coulomb potential together with a steric repulsion. A strong electric fiel…
Among molluscs, the shell biomineralization process is controlled by a set of extracellular macromolecular components secreted by the calcifying mantle. In spite of several studies, these components are mainly known in bivalves from only few members of pteriomorph groups. In the present case, we investigated the bioch…
To account for azimuthal surface anchoring of a nematic liquid crystal, Berreman [Phys. Rev. Lett. 28, 1683 (1972)10.1103/PhysRevLett.28.1683] proposed a simple model attributing the surface anchoring to the elastic distortion of the liquid crystal induced by the grooves of a surface. He showed that the surface anchor…
