The mechanical properties of alkanethiol monolayers on Au(111) in KOH solution have been studied by force spectroscopy. The analysis of the vertical force versus penetration curves showed that monolayer penetration is a stepped process that combines elastic regions with sudden penetration events. The structural meanin…

Abstract Novel smart hydrogel fibers were prepared from a blend of hydrolyzed‐polyacrylonitrile (H‐PAN) and soy protein (SP). The dynamic and static elongation/contraction behaviors were studied. It was discovered that H‐PAN/SP hydrogel fibers consisted of a multiporous structure. With an increase in the content of SP…

Abstract Phosphorothionates are anti‐wear lubricant additives and potential replacements for zinc dialkyldithiophosphates. In this study, ball‐on‐disc tests have been carried out combinatorially under extreme pressure (EP) conditions (100–350 MPa at 10 N load). The tests were performed in oil containing triphenyl phos…

Interpenetrating networks of varying percentages of vinyl ester oligomer (VEO) toughened epoxy-clay hybrid nanocomposites were developed. VEO was prepared by reacting commercially available epoxy resin LY556 and acrylic acid and was used as a toughening agent for DGEBA epoxy resin. DGEBA was toughened with 5, 10 and 1…

Abstract The refractive index of ZnO/organic nanocomposite films was modified in the range from 1.44 to 1.55, while maintaining high visible transparency. The transparency of the nanocomposite films showed an abnormal behaviour as a function of the loading level of inorganic particles, because it did not decrease acco…

BACKGROUND: The mechanism by which Hsp40 and other molecular chaperones recognize and interact with non-native polypeptides is a fundamental question. How Hsp40 co-operates with Hsp70 to facilitate protein folding is not well understood. To investigate the mechanisms, we determined the crystal structure of the putativ…

Abstract To enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), the terpolymers were synthesized from carbon dioxide, propylene oxide, and a third monomer, [(2‐naphthyloxy)methyl]oxirane (NMO) using supported zinc glutarate as catalyst. The structure of these terpolymers was confirmed by…

A microfabrication technique is reported for the fabrication of wax-bonded micromagnets in the 100μm–1mm range. This dimensional size is not typically achievable by thin-film deposition techniques or by conventional macroscale magnet processing, and is of interest for magnetic microelectromechanical systems applicatio…

The transport of holes in polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) based on poly(2-methoxy, 5-(${2}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ ethyl-hexyloxy)-$p$-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) is investigated as a function of layer thickness. For thicknesses smaller than $100\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, the current in these thin PLED…
