Vertical interface effect on the physical properties of epitaxial metal-oxide films is demonstrated. Self-assembled (BiFeO3)0.5:(Sm2O3)0.5 nanocomposite films are fabricated with three-dimensional heteroepitaxy having an ordered nano-columnar structure on a large scale. The vertical interface effect on lattice paramet…
In this study the feasibility of applying two kinds of mudar (Calotropis gigantea) fibers, namely bark fibers and seed fibers, as an alternative raw material for fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) is investigated. The chemical analysis of the bark and seed fibers indicates that their main components are holocellulose 76…
Glycerol, cassava wastewater (CW), waste cooking oil and CW with waste frying oils were evaluated as alternative low-cost carbon substrates for the production of rhamnolipids and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by various Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. The polymers and surfactants produced were characterized by gas chro…
An efficient 2 + 2 cyclocondensation with dihydroxysilane converted simple arylboronic acids to bifunctional borasiloxane cage molecules, which were subsequently electropolymerized to furnish air-stable thin films. The extended [p,pi]-conjugation that defines the rigid backbone of this new conjugated polymer (CP) moti…
Microstructure characteristics, phase transition, and electrical properties of (Na 0.535 K 0.485 ) 0.926 Li 0.074 (Nb 0.942 Ta 0.058 )O 3 (NKN‐LT) lead‐free piezoelectric ceramics prepared by normal sintering are investigated with an emphasis on the influence of sintering temperature. Some abnormal coarse grains of 20…
A systematic study was made of the synthesis of V 2 O 5 ·n H 2 O nanostructures, whose morphologies, crystal structure, and amount of water molecules between the layered structures were regulated by strictly controlling the hydrothermal treatment variables. The synthesis involved a direct hydrothermal reaction between…
The first structurally characterized iridium-substituted polyoxometalate, K(14)[(IrCl(4))KP(2)W(20)O(72)].23H(2)O [1; orthorhombic Pnnm, with a = 18.6546(7) A, b = 19.5192(6) A, c = 14.8670(5) A, V = 5413.4(3) A(3), and Z = 2, final R = 0.0730], is reported. Elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography, and NMR all indic…
Solid templates have been long regarded as one of the most promising ways to achieve single-shelled hollow nanostructures; however, few effective methods for the construction of multishelled hollow objects from their solid template counterparts have been developed. We report here, for the first time, a novel and conve…
Zeolites with embedded bismuth compounds display strong, air-stable, long-lived, ultrabroadband, and tunable near-infrared photoluminescence (see picture). Bismuth ions not only act as luminescence-active centers, but also as blocks for selectively closing the “in–out windows” of water molecules. Bismuth active center…
A series of neutral rare-earth metal amides supported by an imidazolidine-bridged bis(phenolato) ligand were synthesized, and their catalytic activity for the polymerization of l-lactide was explored. The amine elimination reactions of Ln[N(TMS)(2)](3)(mu-Cl)Li(THF)(3) with H(2)[ONNO] {H(2)[ONNO] = 1,4-bis(2-hydroxy-3…
To get updated references on the structural, electronic, and vibration properties of the metastable TiO(2)(B) compound, infrared and Raman spectra of TiO(2)(B) are computed within the density functional theory framework and all active modes are assigned. Phonons and their possible coupling with the macroscopic electri…
An approach to address the precise controllable patterned wettability transition on the superhydrophobic aligned photoconductive nanorod-array surface via a photoelectric cooperative wetting process is described. This work is promising to gear up the application of locally confining liquids at a desired location, such…
In this Letter, we demonstrate a strong dependence of the electrostatic deformation of doubly clamped single-walled carbon nanotubes on both the field strength and the tube length, using molecular simulations. Metallic nanotubes are found to be more sensitive to an electric field than semiconducting ones of the same s…
Local structure of Mn atoms in Ga1-xMnxN has been investigated by the Mn L3 edge x-ray absorption spectrum (XAS) at total electron yield mode, which preferentially looks at atoms near the surface. A modeling defects configuration, the Mn5 micro-clusters complexed with substitutional MnGa and interstitial MnI is found…
The overall solid-to-solid phase transformation kinetics under non-isothermal conditions has been modeled by means of a differential equation method. The method requires provisions for expressions of the fraction of the transformed phase in equilibrium condition and the relaxation time for transition as functions of t…
A carbon nanotube, if it could be cut sideways at the end like a pipe, would yield beltlike structures. These subunits of carbon nanotubes, in their simplest manifestation as the [6](n)cyclacenes, are composed of conjugated six-membered rings that are annelated, that is, made of a series of consecutively fused ring st…
A facile synthesis method to produce monodisperse, biocompatible, lysine crosslinked mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) CdSe(0.25)Te(0.75)/CdS near-infrared (NIR) quantum dots and use them as probes to study their long term in vivo distribution, clearance, and toxicity is presented. Large signal enhancements are demonstrat…
We study the rheology of amorphous packings of soft, frictionless particles close to jamming. Implementing a quasistatic simulation method we generate a well-defined ensemble of states that directly samples the system at its yield stress. A continuous jamming transition from a freely flowing state to a yield-stress si…
We describe a facile and scalable surface treatment for the functionalization of the graphene sheets (GSs). The approach consists of a surface plasma treatment of GSs by first covalently attaching fluorine and then exposing the obtained fluorinated graphene sheets (F-GSs) to a polymerization initiator such as butylami…
Abstract This review discusses rational design of particles for use as therapeutic vectors and diagnostic imaging agent carriers. The emerging importance of both particle size and shape is considered, and the adaptation and modification of soft lithography methods to produce nanoparticles are highlighted. To this end,…
