As an effective method to enhance the dielectric performance of polyolefin materials, polar side group modification has been extensively applied in the insulation and energy storage materials of electrical and electronic systems. In this work, two side groups with different topological structures were adopted, namely, vinyl acetate (VAc, aliphatic chain) and -vinyl-pyrrolidone (NVP, saturated ring), to modify polypropylene (PP) chemical grafting, and the effects of structural topology of the polar side group on the microscopic and macroscopic characteristics of PP, particularly on its electrical anti-breakdown ability, were investigated. Experimental results showed that the side group structural topology directly affected the crystallization and thermal properties of PP.

Heteroconfinement in Single CdTe Nanoplatelets.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Los Angeles, 607 Charles E. Young Drive, Los Angeles, California 90095-1569, United States.

Dimension-engineered synthesis of atomically thin II-VI nanoplatelets (NPLs) remains an open challenge. While CdSe NPLs have been made with confinement ranging from 2 to 11 monolayers (ML), CdTe NPLs have been significantly more challenging to synthesize and separate. Here we provide detailed mechanistic insight into the layer-by-layer growth kinetics of the CdTe NPLs.

The recalcitrance of to antibiotic treatment has been broadly attributed to the impermeability of the organism's outer mycomembrane. However, the studies that support this inference have been indirect and/or reliant on bulk population measurements. We previously developed the P eptidoglycan A ccessibility C lick- M ediated A ssessme N t (PAC-MAN) method to covalently trap azide-modified small molecules in the peptidoglycan cell wall of live mycobacteria, after they have traversed the mycomembrane.

Performance enhancement of InSnZnO thin-film transistors by modifying the dielectric-semiconductor interface with colloidal quantum dots.

Nanoscale Adv

Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Devices and Systems of Ministry of Education and Guangdong Province, State Key Laboratory of Radio Frequency Heterogeneous Integration, College of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Shenzhen University Shenzhen 518060 China

Thin film transistors (TFTs) with InSnZnO (ITZO) and AlO as the semiconductor and dielectric layers, respectively, were investigated, aiming to elevate the device performance. Chemically synthesized CuInS/ZnS core/shell colloidal quantum dots (QDs) were used to passivate the semiconductor/dielectric interface. Compared with the pristine device, the device with the integrated QDs demonstrates remarkably improved electrical performance, including a higher electron mobility and a lower leakage current.

Exploring the Biological Impact of β-TCP Surface Polarization on Osteoblast and Osteoclast Activity.

Int J Mol Sci

December 2024

Department of Advanced Prosthodontics, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Yushima, Tokyo 1138549, Japan.

β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is a widely utilized resorbable bone graft material, whose surface charge can be modified by electrical polarization. However, the specific effects of such a charge modification on osteoblast and osteoclast functions remain insufficiently studied. In this work, electrically polarized β-TCP with a high surface charge density was synthesized and evaluated in vitro in terms of its physicochemical properties and biological activity.
