Abstract The rubber antioxidant N ‐(4‐anilinophenyl) methacrylamide (NAPM) was synthesized by a two‐step reaction using thionyl chloride (SOCl 2 ) with methacrylic acid (MAA) and consequently 4‐aminodiphenylamine (ADPA) as precursors. NAPM was characterized by IR, 1 H NMR and elemental analysis. Thermal stability, agi…

Semiconductor quantum dots (Qdots) have emerged as novel ultrasensitive optical probes to target, detect, and image fundamental events occurring within the biological system. In particular, near-infrared (near-IR) Qdots holds great promise as in vivo contrast agents for real-time bioimaging capabilities. In this study…

Nanocrystal-assembled cubic boron nitride (cBN) islands are formed by using low-energy (∼20eV) ion irradiation in an inductively coupled fluorine-containing plasma. The temporal evolution of surface morphology and roughness reveals three-dimensional island growth for initial sp2-bonded BN and subsequent cBN, accompani…

The interplay of surface ordering and elasticity can be studied on the example of a liquid crystal confined to a cavity. We present a computer simulation study of a liquid of hard spherocylinders in a hard spherical cavity. With increasing density, first a uniaxial surface film forms and then a biaxial surface film, w…

Previously, we have reported that nanoporous gold (NPG) films prepared by a chemical dealloying method have distinctive plasmonic properties, i.e., they can simultaneously support localized and propagating surface plasmon resonance modes (l-SPR and p-SPR, respectively). In this study, the plasmonic properties of NPG a…

Growth and properties of epitaxial BaFeO3 thin films in the metastable cubic perovskite phase are examined. BaFeO3 films were grown on (012) LaAlO3 and (001) SrTiO3 single crystal substrates by pulsed-laser deposition. X-ray diffraction shows that films grown between 650 and 850°C yield an oxygen-deficient BaFeO2.5+x…

Abstract A model for light‐triggered porphyrin anticancer prodrug 1 was designed and synthesized. Upon photolysis, prodrug 1 can efficiently liberate the anticancer drug tegafur. The MTT assay demonstrates that prodrug 1 is significantly less toxic than its parent drug tegafur, and 1 can release tegafur upon photoacti…
