This research objected to study the effects of CeO2, Sb2O3 and CoO on the structures and properties of calcium borophosphate glass (CBF) in ternary system 0.42CaO-0.06B2O3-0.52P2O5. The batches were melted at 1200 °C with 5 °C /min for 1 h in an electric furnace. The melts were regular bulk formed by pouring into a stainless mold and were immediately transferred to an annealing lehr at 550 °C for 2 h for testing the properties. The structures and physical properties were investigated. The results showed that all doped CBF glass were completely melted representing only one broad peak in XRD patterns. The structural observations revealed the major units are cross-linking B-O-P and B-O-B triangle and B-O-B tetrahedral units. The dense packing of structural or the shorter phosphate chain length and whether the branching group were achieved as the series CeO2>Sb2O3>CoO. The density, refractive index, glossy, Abbe number increased slightly with increasing of transition oxide concentrations as the series CeO2>Sb2O3>CoO. The microhardness also increased with increasing the concentration of transition oxides as the series CeO2<Sb2O3<CoO due to CoO act as glass-network formers stronger than Sb2O3 and CeO2

The structure and physical properties of a series of N-substituted, hemiquinone-substituted oxoporphyrinogens is presented and discussed. Structures of the compounds are dictated by the nature of the substituent, with the substitution pattern being in turn dictated by regioselectivity of N-alkylation. X-ray crystallography and other aggregation properties of the compounds are discussed. Redox reactions are also strongly influenced by N-substitution and substituent identity. Also presented are properties related to guest binding and photophysical properties of oligochromophoric host-guest complexes, involving oxoporphyrinogen, N-substituted with porphyrins and appropriately substituted fullerene guest electron acceptors.

Given that human amniotic membrane is a valuable biological material not readily available for corneal epithelial tissue engineering, gelatin is considered as a potential alternative to construct a cellular microenvironment. This study investigates, for the first time, the influence of cross-linking density of carbodiimide-treated gelatin matrices on the structures and properties of artificial limbal stem cell niches. Our results showed that an increase in the carbodiimide concentration from 1.5 to 15 mM leads to an upward trend in the structural and suture strength of biopolymers. Furthermore, increasing number of cross-linking bridges capable of linking protein molecules together may reduce their crystallinity. For the samples treated with 50 mM of cross-linker (i.e., the presence of excess N-substituted carbodiimide), abundant N-acylurea was detected, which was detrimental to the in vitro and in vivo ocular biocompatibility of gelatin matrices. Surface roughness and stiffness of biopolymer substrates were found to be positively correlated with carbodiimide-induced cross-link formation. Significant increases of integrin β1 expression, metabolic activity, and ABCG2 expression were noted as the cross-linker concentration increased, suggesting that the bulk crystalline structure and surface roughness/stiffness of niche attributed to the number of cross-linking bridges may have profound effects on a variety of limbal epithelial cell behaviors, including adhesion, proliferation, and stemness maintenance. In summary, taking the advantages of carbodiimide cross-linking-mediated development of gelatin matrices, new niches with tunable cross-linking densities can provide a significant boost to maintain the limbal stem cells during ex vivo expansion.

[(K0.5Na0.5 )0.935Li0.065]NbO3–Mn ceramics (Mn = 0, 1.50 and 3 mol %) (KNNL–Mn) were synthesized and measured dielectric properties. Which the K2CO3, Na2CO3, Li2CO3, Nb2O5 and MnO2 (0, 1.5, 3 mol%) were mixed by ball milling method and calcined powders at 1,073 K for 4 h and the sintered at 1,343 K for 2 h in air. The crystal structure was analyzed by XRD technique, the crystallite size was identified by Scherrer’s equation and calculated the theoretical density. It was found that, the XRD patterns of the KNNL–Mn ceramics added with Mn contents was indicated the tetragonal structure and. the crystallite size of Mn = 0, 1.50 and 3 mol% about 32 nm, 34 nm and 57 nm, respectively. The physical properties of the KNNL–Mn ceramics was found that the maximum theoretical density of 90.79 % for Mn = 1.50 mol%. The dielectric constant was found to be maximum of 909.77 and dielectric loss of 0.48 for Mn = 3 mol%.

Electrical current as a means to control structural and related physical properties has been recognized only recently. The application of small electrical currents in sensitive detector and control applications, and in information technologies, is often preferable to other external stimuli. However, until recently it has not been widely accepted that electrical current can readily couple to the lattice, orbital, and spin degrees of freedom. Mounting experimental evidence has indicated that a combination of strong spin-orbit interactions and a distorted crystal structure in magnetic Mott insulators may be sufficient for electrical current to control structural and related properties. Current control of quantum states in 4d- and 5d-transition metal oxides has therefore rapidly expanded as a key research topic. This chapter presents two model systems, Ca2RuO4 and Sr2IrO4, in which applied current effectively controls the lattice, and thus the physical properties.
