Anisotropic optical and conductive properties of oriented 1D-nanoparticle thin films made by spray-assisted self-assembly?
Journal of Electroceramics ( IF 1.814 ) Pub Date: 2016-07-27 , DOI: 10.1039/C6FD00017G
We report on the fabrication of oriented anisotropic metal nanoparticle thin films made by Grazing Incidence Spraying (GIS) and on the anisotropic plasmonic properties of the resulting thin films. Gold nanorods of two different aspect ratios and silver nanowires were self-assembled as a uniaxially aligned monolayer with the GIS approach. In particular, we examine the influence of the nanowire/nanorod length and diameter on the degree of ordering determined by electron microscopy pictures. Furthermore, we show that the anisotropy of the optical properties (probed by polarized UV-visible-near infrared spectroscopy) strongly depend on the quality of alignment. The prepared monolayer thin films have an orientation order parameter of up to 0.83 for silver nanowires, which is reflected in an optical anisotropy of 0.57 in the UV-visible and 0.76 in the near infrared through the selective excitation of transverse and longitudinal surface plasmon resonance modes. The electronic transport in oriented silver nanowire monolayers is also shown to be highly directional, with the sheet resistance varying over almost an order of magnitude depending on the transport direction. Such anisotropic conductive plasmonic thin films may find applications in various fields like biochemical sensing, energy transport and harvesting or optoelectronic devices.

Anomalies in moisture transport during broccoli drying monitored by MRI?
Journal of Electroceramics ( IF 1.814 ) Pub Date: 2012-04-24 , DOI: 10.1039/C2FD20049J
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers unique opportunities to monitor moisture transport during drying or heating of food , which can render unexpected insights. Here, we report about MRI observations made during the drying of broccoli stalks indicating anomalous drying behaviour. In fresh broccoli samples the moisture content in the core of the sample increases during drying, which conflicts with Fickian diffusion. We have put the hypothesis that this increase of moisture is due to the stress diffusion induced by the elastic impermeable skin. Pre-treatments that change skin and bulk elastic properties of broccoli show that our hypothesis of stress-diffusion is plausible.

Automatised pharmacophoric deconvolution of plant extracts – application to Cinchona bark crude extract?
Journal of Electroceramics ( IF 1.814 ) Pub Date: 2019-01-25 , DOI: 10.1039/C8FD00242H
We present a development of the “ Plasmodesma ” dereplication method [Margueritte et al. , Magn. Reson. Chem. , 2018, 56 , 469]. This method is based on the automatic acquisition of a standard set of NMR experiments from a medium sized set of samples differing by their bioactivity. From this raw data, an analysis pipeline is run and the data is analysed by leveraging machine learning approaches in order to extract the spectral fingerprints of the active compounds. The optimal conditions for the analysis are determined and tested on two different systems, a synthetic sample where a single active molecule is to be isolated and characterized, and a complex bioactive matrix with synergetic interactions between the components. The method allows the identification of the active compounds and performs a pharmacophoric deconvolution. The program is freely available on the Internet, with an interactive visualisation of the statistical analysis, at https://plasmodesma.igbmc.science.

Are metastable, precrystallisation, density-fluctuations a universal phenomena?
Journal of Electroceramics ( IF 1.814 ) Pub Date: 2002-08-16 , DOI: 10.1039/B202680E
In-situ observations of crystallisation in minerals and organic polymers have been made by simultaneous, time-resolved small angle X-ray scattering ( SAXS ) and wide angle X-ray scattering ( WAXS ) techniques. In isotactic polypropylene slow quiescent crystallisation shows the onset of large scale ordering prior to crystal growth. Rapid crystallisations studied by melt extrusion indicate the development of well resolved oriented SAXS patterns associated with long range order before the development of crystalline peaks in the WAXS region. Block copolymers self-assemble into mesophases in polymer melts above a critical chain length (or above a critical temperature) and this self-assembly process is shown to be susceptible to an incipient crystallisation. Mesophase formation is observed at anomalously high temperatures in ethylene-oxide containing block copolymers below the normal melting point of the polyoxy ethylene chains. Formation of calcium carbonate from aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and calcium nitrate is observed to be a two-stage process and precipitation proceeds by the production of an amorphous metastable phase. This phase grows until it is volume filling and leads to the formation of the two polymorphs Calcite and Vaterite . These three sets of results suggest pre-nucleation density fluctuations, leading to a metastable phase, play an integral role in all three classes of crystallisation . In due course, this phase undergoes transformation to “normal” crystals.
