Abstract Tungsten functional paper (TFP) is a novel paper‐based radiation‐shielding material. We measured the shielding ability of TFP against x‐rays and gamma rays. The TFP was supplied in 0.3‐mm‐thick sheets that contained 80% tungsten powder and 20% cellulose (C 6 H 10 O 5 ) by mass. In dose measurements for x‐rays…

ABSTRACT The mechanical properties of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) were significantly enhanced by compounding cellulose‐acetate (CA) nanofibers (CA‐NF) to form CA/PBS composites. PBS has a great potential as an alternative material to other widely‐used polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene made from pet…

An innovative eccentric rotor extruder, which can generate continuous elongation flow, was used to fabricate the poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA)/organo‐modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites in different OMMT concentrations. The morphology of the nanocomposites was characterized by thermal gravimetric analyzer, X‐ray d…

Phosphorene has attracted tremendous interest recently due to its intriguing electronic properties. However, the thermal transport properties of phosphorene, especially for its allotropes, are still not well-understood. In this work, we calculate the thermal conductivities of five phosphorene allotropes (α-, β-, γ-, δ…

We present a disposable low cost paper-based metamaterial for sensing liquids based on their dielectric properties. The sensor is based on resonance shift due to the change in the effective capacitance of each resonator in the metamaterial array. Key novelty in the design is the implementation of metamaterial on low c…

We report the first magnetocaloric and calorimetric observations of a magnetic-field-induced phase transition within a superconducting state to the long-sought exotic Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting state, first predicted over 50 years ago. Through the combination of bulk thermodynamic calorime…

Abstract About 15 years ago, the Ryoo group described the synthesis of CMK‐5, a material consisting of a hexagonal arrangement of carbon nanotubes. Extension of the surface casting synthesis to oxide compositions, however, was not possible so far, in spite of many attempts. Here it is demonstrated, that crystalline me…

A new design strategy to activate aggregation-induced emission (AIE) in pyrene chromophores is reported. In a previous report, we demonstrated that highly twisted N, N -dialkylamines of anthracene and naphthalene induce drastic AIE when these donors are introduced at appropriate positions to stabilize the S 1 /S 0 min…

Nanoparticle (NP) based exogenous contrast agents assist biomedical imaging by enhancing the target visibility against the background. However, it is challenging to design a single type of contrast agents that are simultaneously suitable for various imaging modalities. The simple integration of different components in…

Charge density wave (CDW) phases are symmetry-reduced states of matter in which a periodic modulation of the electronic charge frequently leads to drastic changes of the electronic spectrum, including the emergence of energy gaps. We analyze the CDW state in a $1T--{\mathrm{TiSe}}_{2}$ monolayer within a density funct…

van der Waals (vdW) forces, despite being relatively weak, hold the layers together in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and play a key role in their band structure evolution, hence profoundly affecting their physical properties. In this work, we experimentally probe the vdW interactions in MoS 2 and other TMDs…

First-principles screening studies aimed at predicting the catalytic activity of transition metal (TM) catalysts have traditionally been based on mean-field (MF) microkinetic models, which neglect the effect of spatial correlations in the adsorbate layer. Here we critically assess the accuracy of such models for the s…
