Article Abstract

In this research, a recyclable ordered necklace-like "trimeric-DDSQ"-PDMS polysiloxane (DDDP) is presented. Specific bifunctional organosilicon building blocks, namely vinyl-terminated double-decker silsesquioxane (DDSQ-Vi), hydrogen-terminated double-decker silsesquioxane (DDSQ-H), and the dumbbell-shaped precursor (DPD), are fabricated. Stepwise polymerization from DPD precursor enables the synthesis of ordered necklace-like DDDPs. In this way, no additional purification or separation steps are necessary. DDDP contains a high proportion of nanocage-shaped DDSQ within its organosilicon backbone. This structure endows DDDP with outstanding thermal stability, optical transparency, favorable mechanical characteristics, and recyclability. These properties highlight the potential of DDDP in applications such as electronic circuit packaging and material recycling.

Hints of Growth Mechanism Left in Supercrystals.

ACS Nano

August 2023

X-ray Science Division, Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois 60439, United States.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers used X-ray ptychographic tomography and small-angle X-ray scattering to visualize and map the internal structures of supercrystals made up of DNA-functionalized nanoparticles.
  • The study found that supercrystals from smaller nanoparticles are generally smaller and can form larger "necklace-like" aggregates, while larger nanoparticles tend to create distinct, faceted crystals.
  • This research indicates that supercrystal growth occurs through the aggregation of smaller structures and then a rearrangement of the nanoparticles.

Construction of well-ordered two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) assemblies using one-dimensional (1D) units is a hallmark of many biointerfaces such as skin. Mimicking the art of difunctional properties of biointerfaces, which skin exhibits as defense and shelter materials, has inspired the development of smart and responsive biomimetic interfaces. However, programming the long-range ordering of 1D base materials toward vigorous control over 2D and 3D hierarchical structures and material properties remains a daunting challenge.

Novel Magnetic Mixed Cellulose Acetate Matrix Membranes with Oxygen-Enrichment Potential.

Membranes (Basel)

December 2022

Department of Materials Science, Institute of Graduate Studies and Research, Alexandria University, Alexandria 21526, Egypt.

Article Synopsis
  • This work introduces innovative magnetic mixed cellulose-based membranes that leverage low-cost cellulose acetate and magnetic fillers without the need for an external magnetic field during production or usage.
  • The membranes incorporate poly(methylmethacrylate) and lithium chloride to enhance their mechanical properties and porosity, while featuring unique iron-nickel alloys with distinct morphologies.
  • Characterization of these membranes shows superior properties, including high coercivity and an effective oxygen transition rate, suggesting their potential in oxygen-enrichment applications compared to conventional membranes.

Rational design of plasmonic colloidal assemblies via bottom-up synthesis is challenging but would show unprecedented optical properties that strongly relate to the assembly's shape and spatial arrangement. Herein, the synthesis of plasmonic cyclic Au nanosphere hexamers (PCHs) is reported, wherein six Au nanospheres (Au NSs) are connected via thin metal ligaments. By tuning Au reduction, six dangling Au NSs are interconnected with a core hexagon nanoplate (NPL).
