Interfacial morphology and friction properties of thin PEO and PEO/PAA blend films

The scanning force microscope (SFM) was used to investigate morphology of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) blend. The effect of solvent and dewetting in surface structure of PEO film was reported. The results manifested that the crystallization of PEO could be suppressed completely in ultrathin region via using chloroform as a solvent, and the branched-like crystallization was recovered after dewetting. Also, the effect of thickness, the ratio of PEO/PAA and dewetting in surface morphology of PEO-PAA blend films were investigated. These results showed that the crystallization was highly dependent on the ratio of PEO/PAA and the thickness of blend film. Furthermore, we assembled the PEO/PAA layer-by-layer film by spin-casting method for the first time, which exhibited highly efficiency. As a complementary tool, we also used lateral force microscopy (LFM) to explore surface information of these films. The result was indicative of interfacial constraints in ultrathin region, and also was supported by the results showing the spin-casting PEO/PAA blends rather than heterogeneous mixture.     

Super strong nuclear force caused by migrating K? mesons - Revival of the Heitler-London-Heisenberg scheme in kaonic nuclear clusters

We have studied the structure of K⁻pp comprehensively by solving this threebody system in a variational method, starting from the Ansatz that the Λ(1405) resonance (≡Λ^*) is a K⁻p bound state. The structure of K⁻pp reveals a molecular feature, namely, the K⁻ in Λ^* as an “atomic center” plays a key role in producing strong covalent bonding with the other proton. We point out that strongly bound $\bar{K}$ nuclear systems are formed by “super strong” nuclear force due to migrating real bosonic particles $\bar{K}$ a la Heitler-London-Heisenberg, whereas the normal nuclear force is caused by mediating virtual mesons. We have shown that the elementary process, p + p → K⁺ + Λ^* + p, which occurs in a short impact parameter and with a large momentum transfer, leads to unusually large self-trapping of Λ^* by the involved proton, since the Λ^*-p system exists as a compact doorway state propagating to K⁻pp.     

Friction phenomena in a two-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova model

By using the molecular dynamic simulation method with a fourth-order Runge--Kutta algorithm, a two-dimensional dc- and ac-driven Frenkel--Kontorova (FK) model with a square symmetry substrate potential for a square lattice layer has been investigated in this paper. For this system, the effects of many different parameters on the average velocity and the static friction force have been studied. It is found that not only the amplitude and frequency of ac-driven force, but also the direction of the external driving force and the misfit angle between two layers have some strong influences on the static friction force. It can be concluded that the superlubricity phenomenon appears easily with a larger ac amplitude and lower ac frequency for some special direction of the external force and misfit angle.     

KB scanning of X‐ray beam for Laue microdiffraction on accelero‐phobic samples: application to in situ mechanically loaded nanowires

A mapping technique has been developed where a sub‐micrometer focused polychromatic X‐ray beam is scanned across a stationary sample instead of scanning the sample in front of the X‐ray microbeam. This method is applied to a gold nanowire during its mechanical loading using the tip of an atomic force microscope. During the loading process, such a sample is `accelero‐phobic', i.e. the sample scanning stages must not to be moved to avoid parasitic additional load. Without beam scanning, only one single position within the sample can be probed during the test. The probed material point may even change because of drifts or movements induced by the test itself. The new scanning approach facilitates the in situ mapping of the entire wire giving access to the evolution of the wire shape as well as to the boundary conditions. This novel scanning technique opens promising perspectives for studies where sample motion is forbidden because of the sample environment.     

3′-Hydroxy-4-methoxychalcone as a potential antibacterial coating on polymeric biomaterials

Antimicrobial property of chalcone coated high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polyurethane (PU) against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa is reported here. The presence of chalcone on the surface was confirmed from fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Bacterial adhesion decreased considerably on all the coated surfaces. Bacterial adhesion was highest on PU surface (most hydrophobic) and lowest on HDPE (most hydrophilic) surface. Chalcone seems to damage the membrane of the bacteria as well as exhibit slimicidal activity. Reasonably good correlation was observed between the CFU (Colony Forming Units) ratio (it is defined as the ratio of CFU on coated surface to the chalcone uncoated surface) at the 24th hour against both hydrophobicity of the microorganism and roughness of the coated polymeric surfaces. Increasing roughness of the polymer and hydrophobicity of the microorganisms were positively and negatively correlated respectively with CFU ratio. Hence, the chalcone coated polymers can be used in the development of newer biomaterials.     

Minimally corrected partial atomic charges for non-covalent electrostatic interactions

We develop a new scheme for determining molecular partial atomic charges (PACs) with external electrostatic potential (ESP) closely mimicking that of the molecule. The PACs are the ‘minimal corrections’ to a reference set of PACs necessary for reproducing exactly the tensor components of the Cartesian zero-, first- and second- molecular electrostatic multipoles. We evaluate the quality of ESP reproduction when ‘minimally correcting’ (MC) Mulliken, Hirshfeld or iterative-Hirshfeld reference PACs. In all these cases, the MC-PACs significantly improve the ESP while preserving the reference PACs’ invariance under the molecular symmetry operations. When iterative-Hirshfeld PACs are used as reference, the MC-PACs yield ESPs of comparable quality to those of the ChElPG charge fitting method.
