Monocytes are recruited to the material surface of an implanted biomedical device recognizing it as a foreign body. Differentiation into macrophages subsequently occurs followed by fusion to form foreign body giant cells (FBGCs). Consequently, implants can become degraded, cause chronic inflammation or become isolated…
The first chainlike germanate, [Ge(7)O(13)(OH)(2)F(3)](3)(-).Cl(-).2[Ni(dien)(2)](2+), has been solvothermally synthesized by using Ni(dien)(2)(2+) cations as the template and characterized by IR, SEM, TGA, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA), elemental analysis, and single-crystal…
Irradiation of porphyrin-manganese(III) perchlorate complexes in acetonitrile with 355 nm laser light gave MnV-oxo intermediates that were characterized by their UV-vis spectra and reactivities. The MnV-oxo species of tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (2), tetraphenylporphyrin (4), and tetra-(4-(N-methylpyridiniumy…
Hydrogen storage in Li 3 N was investigated via temperature-programmed hydrogenation (TPH) and temperature-programmed dehydrogenation (TPD). TPH spectra indicated an initial hydrogenation temperature of Li 3 N of ∼150 °C, independent of the H 2 partial pressure even below 0.5 atm. However, the increase in H 2 partial…
Microphase-separated structures of diblock copolymers with narrow molecular weight distributions but with various composition distributions were investigated. Monodisperse nine parent block copolymers composed of polystyrene and poly(2-vinylpyridine) having almost the same molecular weight but with different polystyre…
Abstract In order to improve the compatibility between natural fibers and polypropylene (PP) and polypropylene‐ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (PP‐EPDM) blends, the functionalization of both matrices with maleic anhydride (MA) is investigated in this study. The morphological observations carried out by scanning el…
We have measured the bulk properties as well as the elastic and inelastic neutron scattering of ${\mathrm{YMnO}}_{3}$ in order to understand the static and dynamic properties of the Mn moments. Our measurements clearly show that above ${T}_{N}$ there are short range correlations between spins at the nearest neighbor a…
We report a numerical study of the free energy barrier for crystallization and melting of a single homopolymer chain. The simulations show that the free energy barrier separating the crystalline and molten states at the same free energy level strongly depends on the chain length. However, at a fixed temperature the ba…
The kinetics of polarization switching in ultrathin ferroelectric polymer films exhibit a critical behavior; there is a pronounced slowing just above the coercive field and just below the critical temperature. The critical slowing is observed in the switching kinetics of ferroelectric Langmuir-Blodgett films of 70% vi…
The calculation of the stress field around an arbitrarily shaped crack in an infinite two-dimensional elastic medium is a mathematically daunting problem. With the exception of few exactly soluble crack shapes the available results are based on either perturbative approaches or on combinations of analytic and numerica…
In the investigations of antiferromagnetic (AF)/ ferromagnetic (FM) bilayer samples, often distinct experimental techniques yield different values for the measured exchange anisotropy field (HE). We propose that the observed discrepancy may be accounted in part by the dependence of the unidirectional anisotropy with t…
We demonstrate the electrical and optical control of ferromagnetism in semiconductor heterostructures at high temperatures of 100-117 K. The heterostructures consist of Mn delta-doped GaAs and p-type AlGaAs, where the overlap of the hole wavefunction with the Mn delta-doping profile leads to high ferromagnetic transit…
Nitroxide-mediated stable free radical polymerization of styrene was performed from 13 nm diameter silica nanoparticles in two steps. First, an alkoxyamine, based on N - tert -butyl- N -(1-diethylphosphono-2,2-dimethylpropyl) nitroxide (DEPN) carrying a terminal triethoxysilyl functional group was synthesized and cova…
We have calculated the phonon spectra of aluminum as a function of strain using density functional perturbation theory for <110>, <100>, and <111> uniaxial tension, as well as relaxed <112>[111] shear. In all four cases, phonon instabilities occur at points away from the center of the Brillouin zone and intrude before…
We perform molecular simulations to study the self-assembly of nanoparticles functionalized with oligomeric tethers attached to specific locations on the nanoparticle surface. We demonstrate that for certain categories of tethered nano building blocks the obtained morphologies may be predicted using concepts from bloc…
We have batch-fabricated a microdevice consisting of two adjacent symmetric silicon nitride membranes suspended by long silicon nitride beams for measuring thermophysical properties of one-dimensional nanostructures (nanotubes, nanowires, and nanobelts) bridging the two membranes. A platinum resistance heater/thermome…
A novel reagent for low-level detection in immunoadsorbent assays is described. The reagent consists of gold nanoparticles modified to integrate bioselective species (e.g., antibodies) with molecular labels for the generation of intense, biolyte-selective surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responses in immunoass…
Successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) originally developed for the deposition of thin films on solid substrates from solution baths is introduced as a technique for the growth of high-quality core/shell nanocrystals of compound semiconductors. The growth of the shell was designed to grow one monolayer a…
Abstract The initial rough, faceted surfaces of boron-doped conductive polycrystalline diamond electrodes were smoothed by Ar+ ion sputtering at very low energy (50 eV). A lower background current was measured at the modified electrodes with a mirror-like appearance than at the initial polycrystalline electrodes. The…
Abstract New polymer colloids based on the saccharide monomer, using of 3‐ O ‐methacryloyl‐1,2:5,6‐di‐ O ‐isopropylidene‐α‐ D ‐glucofuranose (3‐MDG), were prepared by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization, a widely used industrial process. The copolymerization of 3‐MDG and butyl acrylate (BA), by the monomer‐addition…
