Genotoxicity of commercial colloidal and laboratory-synthesized silica nanoparticles was tested using the single cell gel electrophoresis or Comet assay. By using a carefully developed protocol and careful characterization of the nanoparticle dispersions, Comet assays were performed on 3T3-L1 fibroblasts with 3, 6, an…

Despite the great efforts that have been made toward obtaining Janus architectures, synthesizing sub-10 nanometer Janus nanoparticles (NPs) modified with different types of polymers remains a challenging task. In this Communication, "solid-state grafting-to" and "grafting-from" methods were combined to obtain Janus go…

We describe a "surface-protected etching" strategy that allows convenient conversion of sol-gel derived silica into porous structures. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) is used to protect the near surface layer, and NaOH is used to selectively etch the interior of the silica spheres. Etching initially yields porous structures a…

Abstract Diesel diffuses into neoprene matrices 10% faster than palm ethyl biodiesel at 20°C. In contrast, the palm biodiesel soaks highly plasticized PVC five times faster than diesel. Phthalate plasticizer leaks from the PVC matrix 14 times faster when biodiesel is the absorbed liquid, relative to petrodiesel. This…

In experiments on nonlinear-optical transmission of picosecond laser pulses at the wavelength of 1.064 μm three-order-of-magnitude enhancement of the photoinduced absorption in optically anisotropic mesoporous silicon films compared to crystalline silicon (c-Si) was found. The effect is not sensitive to the polarizati…

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) from Bacillus stearothermophilus (bsSHMT) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyses the conversion of L-serine and tetrahydrofolate to glycine and 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate. In addition, the enzyme catalyses the tetrahydrofolate-independent cleavage of 3-h…

Abstract Alumina-zirconia composite materials were produced with different acid ratios by the sol-gel method using aluminum isopropoxide and zirconium chloride. The composites were produced by changing acid/alkoxside ratio in alumina. The composite materials were calcinated at 600°C, 900°C and 1300°C. The effects of a…

Abstract The deposition of specific materials into ordered pores arranged in a regular lattice allows the fabrication of ordered fiber arrays. Porous silicon is an attractive candidate for use as a template because the porosity and pore size can be tuned. Polymer microfibers using macroporous silicon with various pore…

Abstract Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/clay nanocomposite was prepared by blending PBT and commercial modified montmorillonite clays via a extruder by using poly(ethylene‐ co ‐glycidyl methacrylate) (PEGMA) as a compatibilizer (PBT/PEGMA/Clay). PEGMA and clay were also blended with PBT to prepare PBT/PEGMA and PB…

A leaning MnOOH nanorod film is fabricated on a substrate by a simple method using only manganese acetate, water and oxygen. The use of dissolved oxygen results in the fabrication of a leaning MnOOH nanorod film by control of the supersaturation ratio during chemical bath deposition. The resultant film with a coating…
