Rectification in Tunneling Junctions: 2,2′-Bipyridyl-Terminated n-Alkanethiolates

TL;DR: A structural and mechanistic hypothesis that suggests a partial rationalization of values of rectification available in the literature is described, which is important because rectification occurs at a polarity opposite to that of the analogous but much more extensively studied systems based on ferrocene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Odd–Even Effects in Charge Transport across n-Alkanethiolate-Based SAMs

TL;DR: A comparison of electrical characteristics across junctions of n-alkanethiolate SAMs on gold and silver electrodes yields indistinguishable values of β and J0 and indicates that a change that substantially alters the tilt angle of the alkyl chain has no influence on the injection current density across SAMs of n

Self-assembly of mesoscale objects

TL;DR: In this article, a self-assembling electrical circuit is provided, which can self-assemble in a fluid/fluid interface, or provided in a liquid, or in proximity of a surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

The development of bioresorbable composite polymeric implants with high mechanical strength.

TL;DR: A scaffold from variants of poly(glycolic) acid which were braided and coated with an elastomer of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone) and crosslinked was developed, shown to be highly resorbable following implantation in a porcine femoral artery and biocompatible in an ovine model.
