Disk-like (discotic, columnar) liquid crystals were discovered in 1977 by Chandrasekhar et al..They offer novel applications as a result of their orientations i
The study of protein structures and functions is very important for the development of proteomics.Current protein analysis is mostly based on antibody system.Ho
We demonstrated the combination of QDs (e.g.CdSe, CdTe and HgCdTe) and ZnO nanowires for photoelectrochemical water splitting [1].Employment of QDs in water spl
Blade coating with substrate heating and hot wind is demonstrated to be a general platform for multi-layer deposition of unmodified small-molecule organic semic
Chromium (Cr) is one of the most and important trace metals which can be present in two oxidation states: toxic Cr (Ⅵ) and non-toxic Cr (Ⅲ).Cr (Ⅲ) is an impo
The use of synthetic and designed receptors for the analysis of complex analytes in real-life settings will be presented.The receptors derive from a combination
Fifty years after the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA, the complete sequence of the human genome has been determined.Many diseases,including ca
Nanocomposites based on various nanoparticles (NPs) and liquid crystals (LC) combining supramolecular order and fluid properties are intensively studied during
Solar energy is mainly a daytime energy source, a possible candidate for renewable energy.Energy harvesting from solar energy can be divided into two parts, nam
Poly(vinylamide)s, such as poly(N-vinyl formamide) (PNVF) and poly(N-vinylacetamide) (PNVA), were employed as precursor polymers of poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm).It
