We study thermal properties of SrMnO3 starting from analysis of the low-energy electronic structure of the Mn4+ ion in oxygen surroundings. As a start point of the studies, simulations of a SrMnO3 unit cell were performed with using the density functional theory (DFT). The DFT calculations have revealed ionic characte…

Two staining methods of wood flour/polypropylene composites in an attempt to improve the color stability of wood‐plastic composites (WPCs) were investigated. The first was to dye wood flour (WF) before compounding with polypropylene (PP) to make stained composites. The second method involved mixing pigments directly w…

Summary The soil on mofette sites is affected by ascending geogenic carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ), which partially fills the soil atmosphere. We hypothesized that geogenic CO 2 affects the stabilization of soil organic matter ( SOM ) at lower partial pressures than had been discussed previously for mofette sites. We studied…

Using Raman spectral-mapping, we investigated in situ temperature dependence (100–300 K) of strain and doping of isotopically labelled double-layer graphene, which allows us to simultaneously and independently follow the strain and doping in both layers of the double layer. We find that the strain in both layers of th…

Abstract Octabromophenylethyl‐functionalized silsesquioxane (BrPh‐SQ) was synthesized by the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of octavinylsilsesquioxane (OVS) with bromobenzene, which acted as both the solvent and reactant and, furthermore, could be recycled after the reaction. The approach possesses the advantages of being…
