Spatial Distribution of Hydrophobic Drugs in Model Nanogel-core Star Polymers

December 5, 2017
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Guangmin Wei, Robert D. Miller, Victoria A. Piunova, William Swope, Amber Carr
Star polymers with a cross-linked nanogel-core are promising carriers of cargo for therapeutic applications due the synthetic control of amphiphilicity of arms and the stability to infinite dilution. Three nanogel-core star polymers were investigated to

Structural Basis for the Inhibitory Effects of Ubistatins in the Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway

December 5, 2017
Author(s)
Mark A. Nakasone, Timothy A. Lewis, Olivier Walker, Anita Thakur, Wissam Mansour, Carlos A. Castaneda, Jennifer L. Goeckeler-Fried, Frank Parlati, Tsui-Fen Chou, Ortal Hayat, Daoning Zhang, Christina M. Camara, Steven M. Bonn, Urszula K. Nowicka, Susan T. Krueger, Michael H. Glickman, Jeffrey L. Brodsky, Raymond J. Deshaies, David Fushman
The success of proteasome inhibitors has led to intense efforts to discover points of therapeutic intervention for nearly every component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The discovery of ubistatins, small molecules that inhibit proteasomal degradation

Assessment of PGAA capability for low-level measurements of H in Ti alloy

December 1, 2017
Author(s)
Danyal J. Turkoglu, Huaiyu H. Chen-Mayer, Rick L. Paul, Rolf L. Zeisler
The accuracy of low-level hydrogen measurements with prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (PGAA) depends on identifying and accounting for all background H signal, including interfering signals. At the cold-neutron (CN)PGAA facility at the NIST Center for

Optically Polarized He3

November 30, 2017
Author(s)
Thomas R. Gentile, P.J. Nacher, B Saam, T G. Walker
This article reviews the physics and technology of producing large quantities fo highly spin- polarized, or hyderpolarized, He3 nuclei using spin-exchange (SEOP) and metastability-exchange (MEOP) optical pumping, and surveys applications of polarized He3

Multimodality of Structural, Electrical, and Gravimetric Responses of Intercalated MXenes to Water

November 28, 2017
Author(s)
Eric S. Muckley, Michael Naguib, Hsiu-Wen Wang, Lukas Vlcek, Naresh C. Osti, Robert L. Sacci, Xiahan Sang, Raymond R. Unocic, Yu Xie, Madhu Sudan Tyagi, Eugene Mamontov, Katharine L. Page, Paul R. C. Kent, Jagjit Nanda, Ilia N. Ivanov
Understanding of structural, electrical and gravimetric peculiarities of water vapor interaction with ion-intercalated MXenes used to design of a multimodal humidity sensor. Neutron scattering coupled to molecular dynamics and ab initio calculations showed

Clustering and Percolation in Suspensions of Carbon Black

November 17, 2017
Author(s)
Jeffrey J Richards, Julie Hipp, John K Riley, Norman J. Wagner, Paul Butler
In situ measurements are an increasingly important tool to inform the complex relationship between nanoscale properties and macroscopic measurements. These relationships can be used to inform the development of new materials, we have developed a SANS

The Effects of Burial Diagenesis on Multiscale Porosity in the St. Peter Sandstone: An Imagine, Small-Angle, and Ultra-Small-Angle Neutron Scattering Analysis

November 4, 2017
Author(s)
Lawrence M. Anovitz, Jared T. Freiburg, Matthew J. Wasbrough, David F. Mildner, Kenneth C. Littrell, Vitaliy Pipich, Jan Ilavsky
To examine the effects of burial diagenesis on heirarchical pore structures in sandstone and compare those with the effects of overgrowth formation, we obtained samples of St. Peter Sandstone from drill cores obtained in the Illinois and Michigan Basins

Studying Water and Solute Transport through Desalination Membranes via Neutron Radiography

October 25, 2017
Author(s)
Devin L. Shaffer, Jacob M. LaManna, David L. Jacobson, Daniel S. Hussey, Menachem Elimelech, Edwin P. Chan
Neutron radiography, a non-destructive imaging technique, is applied to study water and solute transport through desalination membranes. Specifically, we use neutron radiography to quantify lithium chloride draw solute concentrations across a thin-film

Chain Conformation near the Buried Interface in Nanoparticle-Stabilized Polymer Thin Films

October 10, 2017
Author(s)
Deborah A. Barkley, Naisheng Jiang, Mani Sen, Maya K. Endoh, Jonathan G. Rudick, Tadanori Koga, Yugang Zhang, Oleg Gang, Guangcui Yuan, Sushil K. Satija, Daisuke Kawaguchi, Keiji Tanaka, Alamgir Karim
It is known that when nanoparticles are added to polymer thin films, they often migrate to the film-substrate interface and form an "immobile interfacial layer", which has been believed as the origin of suppression of dewetting. We here report an

Latent Porosity in Alkali-Metal M 2 B 12 F 12 Salts: Structures and Rapid Room-Temperature Hydration/Dehydration Cycles

October 2, 2017
Author(s)
Dmitry V. Peryshkov, Eric V. Bukovsky, Matthew R. Lacroix, Hui Wu, Wei Zhou, W. Matthew Jones, Matic Lozinsek, Travis C. Folsom, D. Luke Heyliger, Terrence J. Udovic, Steven H. Strauss
Structures of the alkali metal hydrates Li 2(H 2O) 4Z, LiK(H 2O) 4, Na 2(H 2O) 3Z, and Rb 2(H 2O) 2Z, unit cell parameters for Rb 2Z and Rb 2(H 2O) 2Z, and the DFT-optimized structures of K 2Z, K 2(H 2O) 2Z, Rb 2Z, Rb 2(H 2O) 2Z, Cs 2Z, and Cs 2(H 2O)Z are

Chemical and Physical Changes During Seawater Flow through Intact Dunite Cores: An Experimental study at 150-200 degC

October 1, 2017
Author(s)
Andrew J. Luhmann, Benjamin M. Tutolo, Brian C. Bagley, David F. Mildner, Peter P. Scheuermann, Joshua M. Feinberg, Konstantin Ignatyev, Jr. Seyfried
Two flow-through experiments were conducted to assess serpentinization of intact dunite cores. Permeability and fluid chemistry indicate significantly more reaction during the second experiment at 200 °C than the first experiment at 150°C. Permeability
