A ZnO structure in the form of a core–shell wire was grown with a modified vapour transport and condensation method. The wire consists of a dense core which may play the role of a waveguide and a shell formed mainly from tetrapod-type crystallites. The high optical quality of the produced ZnO material is confirmed by…
Abstract A series of hyperbranched polyborates (HB) terminated with phenol hydroxyl (HBp) and boric acid hydroxyl (HBb) functional groups, respectively, were blended with phenolic resins (PR). The miscibility and specific interaction behaviors of the HB and PR were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DS…
Abstract The crystallization and thermal degradation behaviors of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) grafted with maleic anhydride (MA) by different techniques were analyzed with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The results of DSC, TGA, and GPC…
We use Monte Carlo simulations and noise modeling to study the scaling of $1/f$ noise in single-walled carbon nanotube films as a function of device parameters and film resistivity. Despite its relative simplicity, this computational approach provides a general framework for the characterization of $1/f$ noise in nano…
Abstract Four comonomers bearing a highly efficient phenolic antioxidant unit and different methylene spacers between the aromatic ring and the double bond have been prepared and tested in copolymerization with ethylene using metallocene‐based catalysts. The possibility of obtaining a “masterbatch” suitable for melt b…
Many molecular glass forming liquids show a shift of the glass transition ${T}_{g}$ to lower temperatures when the liquid is confined into mesoporous host matrices. Two contrary explanations for this effect are given in literature: First, confinement induced acceleration of the dynamics of the molecules leads to an ef…
Abstract The effect of side methyl and dimethyl groups of the soft segment component on the microphase‐separated structure and mechanical properties of polyurethane elastomers (PUEs) was investigated. Poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), and PTMG incorporating dimethyl groups (PTG‐X) and methyl side groups (PTG‐L) w…
The synthesis, characterisation, optical, chiroptical, aggregation, and alkaline earth metal cation assisted self-assembly properties of tripodal squaraine dyes have been described. In the tripodal geometry, these dyes exhibit three absorption bands around 650, 620 and 580 nm in contrast to the single, sharp absorptio…
Stochastic synthesis of a ligand coupled to a nanoparticle results in a distribution of populations with different numbers of ligands per nanoparticle. This distribution was resolved and quantified using HPLC and is in excellent agreement with the ligand/nanoparticle average measured by 1H NMR, gel permeation chromato…
We propose and demonstrate the controlled modification and selective enhancement of surface-state emission in white-luminophor CdS nanocrystals (NCs) by plasmon-coupling them with proximal metal nanostructures. By carefully designing nano-Ag films to match their localized plasmon resonance spectrally with the surface-…
Cardiac fibroblasts, the noncontractile cells of the heart, contribute to myocardial maintenance through the deposition, degradation, and organization of collagen. Adding polyelectrolyte-coated gold nanorods to three-dimensional constructs composed of collagen and cardiac fibroblasts reduced contraction and altered th…
Various sizes of Ag particles were grown on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surfaces, which had previously been modified with nanopits to act as anchoring sites. Surface reactions of O2, CHCl3, and CCl4 on the Ag particles and bulk Ag(111) surfaces were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and…
This paper presents a study of the calculated electronic properties of the Zn-based II--VI dilute magnetic semiconductors in a ${\text{Zn}}_{22}{A}_{2}{B}_{24}$ structure, where $A=\text{Cr}$, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, and $B=\text{S}$, Se, and Te. In this study we investigate the local densities of states of the magnetic i…
A modified Greenler's model is proposed to interpret surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for molecules adsorbed onto a tilted and aligned Ag nanorod array substrate. This model only considers molecules absorbed on the side walls of the nanorods and the Raman incident and collection configurations. It reveals that…
Encapsulated nanograins of copper iodide have been sequentially discharged from individual carbon nanotubes. Using a high resolution electron microscope equipped with a two-terminal electrical measurements unit, it was possible to manipulate the filling contents with precisions of a few attograms at a time. Changes in…
Abstract Per‐2,3‐acetyl‐β‐cyclodextrin with seven primary hydroxyl groups was synthesized by selective modification and used as multifunctional initiator for the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone (CL). Well‐defined β‐cyclodextrin‐centered seven‐arm star poly(ε‐caprolactone)s (CDSPCLs) with narrow molecular…
Abstract Aliphatic polyesters and polyphosphoesters (PPEs) have received much interest in medical applications due to their favorable biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this work, novel amphiphilic triblock copolymers of PPE and poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) with various compositions were synthesized and charact…
Abstract BACKGROUND: Electrospinning is known as a novel fabrication method to form nanofibrous scaffolds for tissue‐engineering application. Previously, many natural biopolymers of protein have been electrospun. However, keratin has not attracted enough attention. In this study, keratin and gelatin were co‐electrospu…
Abstract Well‐defined hetero eight‐shaped copolymers composed of polystyrene (PS) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) with controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution were successfully synthesized by the combination of ring‐opening polymerization, ATRP, and “click” reaction. The synthetic procedure…
Monomeric to pentameric (P)-ethynylhelicene oligomers possessing perfluorooctyl side chains were synthesized. The circular dichroism (CD) and vapor pressure osomometry (VPO) studies indicated the formation of a helix-dimer for the (P)-pentamer, for example, in trifluoromethylbenzene at 5 degrees C at concentrations ab…
