Bacterial display technology offers a number of advantages over competing display technologies (e.g, phage) for the rapid discovery and development of peptides with interaction targeted to materials ranging from biological hazards through inorganic metals. We have previously shown that discovery of synthetic peptide reagents utilizing bacterial display technology is relatively simple and rapid to make laboratory automation possible. This included extensive study of the protective antigen system...

With the aim to develop personal protection systems with improved mechanical properties and reduced weight, this research combined graphene with tungsten disulfide, and studied this hybrid system included in epoxy resin. A novel plasma production process generated nanometric size tungsten oxide (WO3) spherical particles. The nanospheres were sulfurized to produce inorganic-fullerene type tungsten disulfide (IF-WS2). The plasma IF-WS2 particles exhibited smaller particle size, characteristic...

The project is focused on the remarkable F1 rotary motor protein that couples the hydrolysis of ATP to unidirectional rotation of a centrally located protein element (spindle). The main object is to fabricate a platform nano-device that couples rotation of the spindle element to drive a secondary device such as a propeller or a switch to produce a desired response. The F1 motor must be in a fixed location and orientation on a solid surface to interface with the secondary device. In this study...

The inability of present dielectric coatings to meet stringent reliability requirements under adverse moisture conditions and broad temperature ranges is one of the major problems facing the electronics industry. Each major class of dielectric material, organic and inorganic, has obvious advantages and disadvantages for use in dielectric coatings. Unfortunately, combinations of these classes usually do not produce coatings which are significantly better than those obtainable with either class...

In Phase I, we demonstrate the feasibility of making supported electronically insulating, proton conducting inorganic thin films on metal hydride foils for intermediate temperature fuel cell electrolytes. Free standing, all inorganic composite membranes consisting of 2-20 micrometers inorganic films on 25 micrometers Pd foil have been successfully prepared and used as proton conducting membrane for intermediate fuel cell application. On the contrary, it is very difficult to prepare a...

Our long-term goal is to understand the biogeochemical dynamics of the upper kilometers of the water column. Such an understanding is fundamental to the prediction of the processes partitioning carbon between atmosphere and ocean and to the redistribution of carbon and associated elements within the water column. Key to predictability is understanding day-to-day to seasonal variability of processes governing carbon species (dissolved and particulate, inorganic and organic) in the water column.

Present practices in lightning protection of aircraft deal primarily with the direct effects of lightning, such as structural damage and ignition of fuel vapors. There is increasing evidence of troublesome electromagnetic effects, however, in aircraft employing solid-state microelectronics in critical navigation, instrumentation and control functions. The potential impact of these indirect effects on critical systems such as digital fly-by-wire (DFBW) flight controls has been studied by several...

This project involved the study of self-assembled quantum dots as hosts for spin based qubits. Both semiconductor quantum dots, nanowires, and organic quantum dots were studied and the spin relaxation times were measured. The organic Alq3 appears to have very long longitudinal spin relaxation time of nearly 1 second at a temperature of 100 K, and a nearly temperature independent transverse relaxation time 3 nsec in the range 2-300 K. This relaxation time is sufficient to fulfill the Knill...

Sample concentration was less than or equal to the upper tolerance level (UTh) calculated for the blanks for that analyte in that media. These data are considered indistinguishable from blank concentrations. Analyte exceeded calibration range, but did not saturate the detector, therefore data is usable. Co-elution or interference was suspected in the determination of the concentration of the flagged compound. These data may be biased high due to interference, although the QAIQC data for the...

The nanometer dispersion of inorganic ultra-thin layered fillers in polymers have been proven a very successful route to concurrently enhance several properties of the polymer matrix, and result in multifunctional nanocomposite materials. Understanding the structure/property relations in polymer/clay nanocomposites is of great importance in designing materials with desired sets of properties. Along these lines, critical overview is attempted on the physical and molecular origins of material...

Biology offers several advantages over traditional systems for the construction of novel materials. These include self-assembly, template-directed assembly, replication, molecular diversity, and the ability to screen and select from amidst this diversity. To harness the inherent advantages of biological systems, they must be interfaced with non-biological materials. Constructing these interfaces has been difficult because electrical/mechanical/optical systems have typically not been designed to...

A new class of IPN system has been prepared and investigated. This IPN system combines the polybismaleinimide network and the NLO-active phenoxysilicon network. The second-order NLO coefficients, d33, values of the samples range from 2.5 to 6.7 pm/V depending on the composition and the processing conditions. The temporal stability of the second-order nonlinearities for these samples at 110 deg C varies from 47 to 88% retention after 274 h.

Amphiphilicity and cationicity are properties shared between antimicrobial peptides and proteins that catalyze biomineralization reactions. Merging these two functionalities, we demonstrate a reaction where a cationic antimicrobial peptide catalyzes self-biomineralization within inorganic matrices. The resultant antimicrobial peptide nanoparticles retain biocidal activity, protect the peptide from proteolytic degradation, and facilitate a continuous release of the antibiotic over time. Taken...

The shipbuilding industry has directed much effort toward ways of limiting escalating coating costs. A major portion of coating costs may be attributed to surface preparation.
