Advances in the Phototriggered Synthesis of Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2019-11)
Clean use of photons from light to activate chemical reactions offers many possibilities in different fields, from chemistry and biology to materials science and medicine. This review article describes the advances carried ...
Glass-Transition Dynamics of Mixtures of Linear Poly(Vinyl Methyl Ether) with Single-Chain Polymer Nanoparticles: Evidence of a New Type of Nanocomposite Materials
(MDPI, 2019-03-21)
Single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) obtained through chain collapse by intramolecular cross-linking are attracting increasing interest as components of all-polymer nanocomposites, among other applications. We present ...
Controlling the stereospecific bonding motif of Au-thiolate links
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-09-07)
Over the last decades, organosulfur compounds at the interface of noble metals have proved to be extremely versatile systems for both fundamental and applied research. However, the anchoring of thiols to gold remained an ...
An Embedded Stress Sensor for Concrete SHM Based on Amorphous Ferromagnetic Microwires
(MDPI, 2014-11)
A new smart concrete aggregate design as a candidate for applications in structural health monitoring (SHM) of critical elements in civil infrastructure is proposed. The cement-based stress/strain sensor was developed by ...
Magnetization Reversal Modes in Short Nanotubes with Chiral Vortex DomainWalls
(MDPI, 2018-01-10)
Micromagnetic simulations of magnetization reversal were performed for magnetic nanotubes of a finite length, L, equal to 1 and 2 mum, 50 and 100 nm radii, R, and uniaxial anisotropy with "easy axis" parallel to the tube ...
Magnetic Characterization in the Rayleigh Region of Nanocrystalline Magnetic Cores
(MDPI, 2018-11-14)
We report on the structural and magnetic characterization of two nanocrystalline Finemet-type magnetic cores. The nanocrystalline structure developed after annealing the amorphous precursor alloy at 550 degrees C for 30 ...
Soft Magnetic Amorphous Microwires for Stress and Temperature Sensory Applications
(MDPI, 2019-12)
Amorphous ferromagnetic materials in the form of microwires are of interest for the development of various sensors. This paper analyzes and argues for the use of microwires of two basic compositions of Co71Fe5B11Si10Cr3 ...
Development of Magnetic Microwires for Magnetic Sensor Applications
(MDPI, 2019-11-02)
Thin magnetic wires can present excellent soft magnetic properties (with coercivities up to 4 A/m), Giant Magneto-impedance effect, GMI, or rectangular hysteresis loops combined with quite fast domain wall, DW, propagation. ...
Characterisation of Exposure to Non-Ionising Electromagnetic Fields in the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort: Study Protocol
(Biomed Central, 2016-02-18)
Background: Analysis of the association between exposure to electromagnetic fields of non-ionising radiation (EMF-NIR) and health in children and adolescents is hindered by the limited availability of data, mainly due to ...
Engineering of Magnetic Softness and Domain Wall Dynamics of Fe-rich Amorphous Microwires by Stress- induced Magnetic Anisotropy
(Nature Publishing, 2019-08-27)
We observed a remarkable improvement of domain wall (DW) mobility, DW velocity, giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect and magnetic softening at appropriate stress-annealing conditions. Beneficial effect of stress-annealing ...
