Because of its high electrical resistivity, low dielectric constant (κ), thermal neutron capture cross section, and robust chemical, thermal, mechanical properties, amorphous hydrogenated boron carbide (a-BxC:Hy) has garnered interest as a material for low-κ solid-state detection applications. Herein, we investigate the relationships between chemical structure (atomic concentration B, C, H, O), physical/mechanical properties (density, porosity, hardness, Young's modulus), electronic [band...
It is hypothesized that thiolated chitosan (TCS) core/shell nanofibers (NFs) can enhance the drug loading of tenofovir, a model low molecular weight and highly water-soluble molecule, improve its mucoadhesivity in vivo safety. To test this hypothesis, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) core with TCS polylactic acid (PLA) shell NFs are fabricated by coaxial electrospinning technique. The morphology, loading, release profiles, cytotoxicity mucoadhesion analyzed using scanning transmission electron...
The purpose of this study was to engineer a model anti-HIV microbicide (tenofovir) drug delivery system targeting HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 (HIV-1 g120) for the prevention HIV sexual transmission. g120 and mannose responsive particles (MRP) were prepared through layer-by-layer coating calcium carbonate (CaCO3) with concanavalin A (Con A) glycogen. MRP average particle size ranged from 881.7 ± 15.45 nm 1130 15.72 nm, depending on number Con layers. Tenofovir encapsulation efficiency...
Abstract A longstanding challenge in ultralarge‐scale integration has been the continued improvement low‐dielectric‐constant (low‐ k ) interlayer dielectric materials and other specialized layers back‐end‐of‐the‐line interconnect fabrication. Modeled after success of carbon‐containing organosilicate materials, carbon‐enriched amorphous hydrogenated boron carbide (a‐B x C:H y films are grown by plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition from ortho ‐carborane methane. These contain more...
Thin-film carborane-based amorphous hydrogenated boron carbide (a-B x C:H y ), grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), has emerged as a promising semi-insulating, low-dielectric-constant (low- κ ) ( < 3.5) material for intra/interlayer dielectric (ILD) and/or copper diffusion barrier/etch stop applications. Of the many integration challenges faced candidate materials low- ILDs or more specialized layers, one of most important is need extremely low leakage currents up...
