We discuss magnetotransport measurements on individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with low contact resistance, performed as a function of temperature and gate voltage. We find that the application of a magnetic field perpendicular to the tube axis results in a large magnetoconductance of the order of e2/h at…

Abstract In this study we investigated the performance of multilayer coextruded linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) blown films. Five‐layer films were compared with monolayer dry‐blended films, and the effects of layer composition and layout on the end‐use properties of the coextruded films were highlighted. Three…

We describe in situ neutron reflectivity (NR) and RAIRS studies of the chemical modification of films of a polypyrrole-based conducting polymer derived from the pentafluorophenyl ester of poly(pyrrole-N-propanoic acid) (PFP) electrodeposited on electrode surfaces. We explore the role of the solvent in controlling the…

We discuss the need for discretization to evaluate the configurational entropy in a general model. We also discuss the prescription using restricted partition function formalism to study the stationary limit of metastable states where a more stable equilibrium state exists. We introduce a lattice model of dimers as a…

The local atomic structure of habit-modifying transition metal cations within the crystal lattice of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) is investigated using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray standing wave (XSW) spectroscopy, together with molecular modeling. XAS reveals the transition metal cations to b…

Abstract Summary: The glycolysis of PET by oligoester diols in the presence of zinc acetate was carried out in two successive twin‐screw extruders with total residence times of 4 min and without solvent. These new glycolysates were analyzed and used in polyurethane formulation with a commercial polyol. The reactivity…

Abstract Summary: A fluorine containing hyperbranched polymer was synthesized by modifying an aromatic‐aliphatic hyperbranched polyester with a semifluorinated alcohol via a Mitsunobu reaction and was subsequently used as an additive in cationic photopolymerization of an epoxy resin. The remaining OH groups of the flu…

Abstract Freeze‐dried samples were prepared from dilute solutions of atactic polystyrene (a‐Ps) in benzene in a concentration range of 1 × 10 −1 to 2 × 10 −5 g/mL, and their glass transition temperatures ( T g ) were determined by differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that below a critical concentration ( C…

Abstract Carbon combustion synthesis of oxides (CCSO) is a novel process to rapidly produce high‐purity, submicron, and porous powders of complex oxides. It is a modified form of self‐propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) that uses carbon as the fuel instead of a pure metal. The CO 2 release increases the poros…

The high-energy vibrational modes of metallic carbon nanotubes are believed to be softened compared to the semiconducting ones by a Peierls-like transition. The Raman modes, when excited with a red laser to enhance the metallic tubes, were found to exhibit an exceptionally high sensitivity to electrochemical doping. O…

In this paper, we describe the synthesis and photophysical properties of a series of acridine-triarylamine redox cascades. These cascades were designed in order to promote photoinduced hole transfer from an acridine fluorophore into an adjacent triarylamine. The excited dipolar state then injects a hole into the triar…

The Ti3+ center, based on a regular Ti site perturbed by an oxygen vacancy (VO), is identified by electron spin resonance (ESR) in textured BaTiO3 films. The center shows tetragonal symmetry along cubic ⟨100⟩ axes with g-factors: g‖=1.997, g⊥=1.904. The spectrum of this defect disappeared after the film annealing at 7…
