These studies show that oxolane-chitosan-polyurethane (OXO-CHI-PUR) networks exhibit self-repairing behavior upon exposure to UV light. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that molecular level processes responsible for the s...
A novel bipolar host material mCPCN has been designed and synthesized by incorporating the electron-accepting CN group into the well-known benchmark host material mCP. Compared to mCP, the incorporation of the simple and...
A highly conductive Ni-coated commercial paper substrate (square resistance <1 Omega) was prepared by chemical deposition, and used as the substrate for a flexible TiO2 film electrode derived from a binder-free TiO2 past...
We improve the photocatalytic effect of Ag2S under visible light by using fullerene modified with Ag2S nanoparticles. Surface areas and pore volumes of the Ag2S-fullerene samples showed catastrophic decreases due to the ...
Submicrometer scaled spheres are realized by a laser-induced reshaping process. An irregular shaped particle absorbs the laser-energy and turns into a spherical liquid droplet dispersed in deionized water. Subsequently, ...
The catalytic activities of water-dispersable Au@Pd core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) and Au-Pd alloy NPs were examined. There is growing interest in Au-Pd hybridized NPs in a supported matrix or non-supported forms as cata...
Endosomal pH-driven linkage-disintegration is a promising strategy to achieve intracellular delivery and controlled drug release. In this paper, a rapid endosomal pH-sensitiveMSNs ensemble (i.e., MCM-TAA-Fe3O4) with magn...
We generated SnO2 alignment films with one of two liquid crystal (LC) molecular orientations: a stable, vertical orientation or a homogeneous orientation. We changed the molecular orientations by altering the growth temp...
In the present paper, we first demonstrate a facile and rapid precipitation process to fabricate Y(OH)(3) with tailored well-defined shapes and excellent uniformity in the presence of sodium citrate. The morphologies and...
