Despite noteworthy progress in the fabrication of large-area graphene sheetlike nanomaterials, vapor-based processing still requires sophisticated equipment and a multistage handling material. An alternative approach to manufacturing functional graphene-based films includes employment oxide (GO) micrometer-scale sheets as precursors. However, search for scalable technique production high-quality GO nanoscale with high uniformity electrical conductivity is continuing. Here we show that...

A novel triple helix based on proton-transferred sebacic acid was observed in a 1:1 organic salt of [(Hambtz)+(Hsba)−·2H2O] (1, ambtz = 2-amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole, H2sba acid) incorporating zigzag water chain. Changing the solvent system, another simple 1D chain, cocrystal [(ambtz)2(H2sba)] (2), obtained. The structural dissimilarity between them dependent different conformations and modulated by systems. photoluminescence behaviors 1 2 were also discussed.

We have characterized the binding of cytoskeletal proteins, namely, tubulin and actin, with silver nanoparticles using techniques dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, circular dichroism spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, transmission electron microscopy. Overall, actin displayed a higher propensity than for while both proteins experienced conformational changes upon binding. Conversely, ion release from was significantly compromised formation protein biocoronas, as shown by...

We describe a simple technique to alter the shape of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by rolling glass tube over them mechanically compress them. The resulting change in turn induces red-shift localized surface plasmon resonance scattering spectrum and exposes new area. flattened particles were characterized optical electron microscopy, single-nanoparticle spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Atomic force microscopy scanning images show that AgNPs deform into discs;...
