We report photoluminescence measurements carried out on amorphous ${\text{SiO}}_{2}$ upon excitation by synchrotron light. Exposure of the as-grown material to above-edge light at low temperature induces the formation of nonbridging oxygen hole centers (NBOHC), localized in a thin layer below the surface limited by th…

The interphase layer of polymers adsorbed to silica surfaces can be affected by the surface silanol density as well as the relative size of the polymer compared with the size of the adsorbing substrate. Here, the nonequilibrium adsorption of PMMA onto individual colloidal Stober silica (SiO(2)) particles, where R(part…

Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) toughening is often associated with significant modulus and/or strength losses making it unsuitable for many consumer and biomedical applications. The major objective of this research was to toughen PLA without significant loss in modulus and strength and to introduce reactive acid gro…

Spark plasma sintered 3Y-TZP has been investigated with respect to hydrothermal ageing and grinding. The sintering was performed between the temperatures of 1,100 and 1,600 °C for a soaking time of 5 minutes and the resulting materials were obtained with grain sizes between 65 to 800 nm and relative densities between…

Superlattice structures (SLSs) assembled with cube-shaped EuS nanocrystals (NCs) and their remarkable magnetic properties are reported. The cube-shaped EuS NCs are prepared by the thermal reduction of single source precursor, tetra(diethyldithiocarbamate) europium complex with oleylamine as a surface modified regent.…

Cross links between inner and outer walls of multiwalled carbon nanotubes are believed to increase nanotube modulus and therefore nanotube effectiveness for reinforcing composites. In order to investigate changes in the Young's modulus of individual double-walled nanotubes (DWNTs) as a function of cross-link density a…

We demonstrate a controllable viewing angle liquid crystal display (LCD) using an inserted blue-phase liquid crystal (BPLC) cell. The BPLC layer functions as a tunable positive C-film or a negative C-film, depending on whether the employed LC has a positive or negative dielectric anisotropy. Therefore, the viewing ang…

We introduce a new direction of research in electrooptics: electrovariable nanoplasmonics. As a specific example, we focus on a new approach for electrically tunable reflection of light at a liquid−liquid interface, suggested and described in this work. Its operation principle relies on voltage controlled localization…
