DNA nanostructures have been attractive due to their structural properties resulting in many important breakthroughs especially in controlled assemblies and many biological applications. Here, we report a unique energy storage device which is a supercapacitor that uses nanostructured DNA hydrogel (Dgel) as a template and layer-by-layer (LBL)-deposited polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) as condu...

We investigate surface modes in plasmonic Bragg fibers composed of nanostructured coaxial cylindrical metal-dielectric multilayers. We demonstrate that the existence of surface modes is determined by the sign of the spatially averaged permittivity of the plasmonic Bragg fiber, ε¯. Specifically, localized surface modes occur at the interface between the cylindrical core with ε¯<0 and the outermo...

We have developed a new type of a thin-film electroluminescence (TFEL) device with nanostructured (NS)-ZnS:Mn utilizing its enhanced luminescent efficiency due to the quantum confinement (QC) effects. As NS-ZnS:Mn, ZnS:Mn/Si3N4 multilayers with thicknesses of 1.9– 3.5 nm for ZnS were prepared by a rf-magnetron sputtering method. From the results of grazing incidence X-ray reflectometry and X-ra...

 Externally Bonded Reinforcement on Grooves (EBROG) is a new method that has been introduced to postpone or eliminate debonding of FRP sheets from concrete surface in concrete beams strengthened for flexure and increase loading capacity. For strengthening reinforced conceret beams in strructure, use of different types of FRP like: laminate, AFRP, CFRP, and GFRP. By there is some differences bet...

Blood compatibility of cardiovascular implants is still a major concern. Rapid endothelialization these implant surfaces has emerged as promising strategy to enhance hemocompatibility and prevent complications such thrombus formation restenosis. The successful mostly depends on the migration endothelial cells (ECs), differentiation stem cells, inhibition smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation. ...

The directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) is a powerful method for the manufacture high-resolution features. Critical issues remain to be addressed successful implementation DSA, such as dewetting and controlled orientation BCP domains through physicochemical manipulations at interfaces, spatial positioning registration Here, we introduce novel top-coat (TC) materials designed...
