g‐C₃N₄ Monolayer/2D Mica Nanohybrids with Highly Effective UV–HEV‐Screening Function

Highly Ordered Nano-Arrays of Titania-Based Nanohybrids

Titanium oxide (TiO2 , titania) is well-known as an important ceramic material. Due to its versatile optical, electrical and photochemical properties, it has found extensive applications in high-refractive index devices, optical waveguides, photo-catalysts and photovoltaic cells. Particularly, in the form of very fine particles on the scale of ten to hundreds of nanometers, TiO2 , along with ot...

Oxidation of plasmalogens produces highly effective modulators of macrophage function.

Model derivatives of plasmalogens and chemically synthesized oxidative degradation products as found e.g. during oxidation of low density lipoproteins show strong effects on phagocytosis induced secretion of reactive oxygen species of macrophages which was measured by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence. Whereas a plasmalogen epoxide showed enhancing effects in submicromolar range, inhibition wa...

Highly Effective Actions

It is conjectured that the world-volume action of a probe D3-brane in an AdS5 × S background of type IIB superstring theory, with one unit of flux, can be reinterpreted as the exact effective action (or highly effective action) for U(2) N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory on the Coulomb branch. An analogous conjecture for U(2)k×U(2)−k ABJM theory is also presented. The main evidence supporting these ...

Synthesis and Properties of Highly Dispersed Ionic Silica–Poly(ethylene oxide) Nanohybrids

We report an ionic hybrid based on silica nanoparticles as the anion and amine-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as a cation. The charge on the nanoparticle anion is carried by the surface hydroxyls. SAXS and TEM reveal an exceptional degree of dispersion of the silica in the polymer and high degree of order in both thin film and bulk forms. In addition to better dispersion, the ionic hybri...
