Based on a previously developed polyamide proton conductive macromolecule, the nano-scale structure of the self-assembled proton conductive channels (PCCs) is adjusted via enlarging the nano-scale pore size within the macromolecules. Hyperbranched polyamide macromolecules with different size are synthesized from different monomers to tune the nano-scale pore size within the macromolecules, and ...

in this article, hybrid organic-inorganic materials were prepared by free radical copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (hema) and 3-methacryloxy-propyltrimethoxysilane (mptms) via sol-gel process. the methoxysilane-containing copolymer precursors were synthesized at different compositions. these copolymer precursors were then hydrolyzed and condensed to produce phema-sio2 nanocomposi...

objective(s): binary hybrids of chitosan-zeolite have many interesting applications in separation and bacteriostatic activity. materials and methods: template free zsm-5 zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal method, physical hydrogels of nano chitosan in the colloidal domain were obtained in the absence of toxic organic solvent and then nano chitosan/zsm-5 hybrid composites with nano chitosan...

During the past few decades, materials design has shifted emphasis to pursue low cost, quality, light weight, environment friendliness, and performance. Aluminium matrix composites are important class of engineering materials used in aerospace, automotive, engineering, defence and other industries because of their lower density, higher specific strength, and better physical and mechanical prope...

friction stir processing was applied for fabricating an aluminum alloy based hybrid nano composite reinforced with nano sized al2o3 and micro sized graphite particles. a mixture of al2o3 and graphite particles was packed into a groove with 1 mm width and 4.5 mm depth, which had been cut in 5083 aluminum plate of 10 mm thick. packed groove was subjected to friction stir processing in order to im...

Bioelectronics has attracted increasing interest in recent years because of their applications in various disciplines, such as biomedical. Development of efficient bio-nano hybrid materials is a new move towards revolution of nano-bioelectronics. A novel nano-bio hybrid electrode based on ZnO–protein for bioelectronics applications was prepared and characterized. The electrode was made by coval...

This paper proposes a SPICE model development methodology for quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) cells and presents a SPICE model for QCA cells. The model is validated by simulating the basic logic gates such as inverter and majority voter. The proposed model makes it possible to design and simulate QCA combinational circuits and hybrid circuits of QCA and other NANO devices using SPICE. In th...

We fabricated sub-wavelength periodic structures by thermal nano-imprinting using our original functionally modified inorganic–organic hybrid materials. The fabricated structures exhibited excellent uniformity and surface smoothness over a large imprinted area. In addition, optical transmittance is more than 90% within visible wavelength regions after heat treatment for 2 h at 300 C. These nano...
