We report herein the mechanochromic luminescent property of a dendritic polypeptide with a fluorescent aromatic moiety at the focal point. The different luminescent property of 1 under mechanical stimulus is attributed to the switch of self-assembled structures. Moreover, the photoluminescence property of 1 also depends on the thermal history.

A recent study revealed that TATA boxes and initiator sequences have a common anomalous mechanical property, i.e. they comprise distinctive flexible and rigid sequences when compared with the other parts of the promoter region. In the present study, using the flexibility parameters from two different models, we calculated the average flexibility profiles of 1004 human promoters that do not cont...

nanocomposites based on vinyl ester resin (derakane 470-300) and nano clay (cloisite 30b) were prepared. the effect of clay content of 1, 3 and 5% (by weight) on the morphology, mechanical properties and water absorption of vinyl ester resin nanocomposites were studied. the nanocomposites were characterized  using  small-angle x-ray  scattering  (saxs),  feld  emission  scanning electron micros...

A 'state property system' is the mathematical structure which models an arbitrary physical system by means of its set of states, its set of properties, and a relation of 'actuality of a certain property for a certain state'. We work out a new axiomatization for standard quantum mechanics, starting with the basic notion of state property system, and making use of a generalization of the standard...

We present a brief review of the microstructures and mechanical properties of selected metallic alloys processed by additive manufacturing (AM). Three different alloys, covering a large range of technology readiness levels, are selected to illustrate particular microstructural features developed by AM and clarify the engineering paradigm relating process-microstructure-property. With Ti-6Al-4V ...

To satisfy requirements of 4G communication systems, an E-shaped microstrip antenna with L-probe is presented. In this design, E-shaped patch is introduced to expand the bandwidth by changing the current distribution, L-probe is introduced to increase the bandwidth by counteracting the inductance of the probe. The electrical property of the antenna is analysised using commercially available Fin...
