Abstract The dimensional stability of thermoplastics is characterized by their tensile compliance D ( t ,σ, T ) as a function of time t , stress σ, and temperature T . Creep retardation times are controlled by the free volume available for underlying molecular (segmental) motions. Tensile deformation of polymeric mate…

Abstract In this study, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and a metallocene polyethylene–octene elastomer (POE) were chosen as the ceramic precursor and the continuous phase, respectively, for the preparation of new hybrids by an in situ sol–gel process. To obtain a better hybrid, a maleic anhydride‐grafted polyethylene–octene…

Cooling of syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) solutions with bulky solvents, unsuitable as guests of s-PS clathrate phases, results in the formation of pastelike gels characterized by a trans-planar chain conformation and poor mechanical properties. Strong elastic gels with s(2/1)2 helical polymer chains forming a three-…

Abstract Polyamide 6/clay nanocomposites (PA6CN) were prepared via the melt compounding method by using a new kind of organophilic clay, which was obtained through cointercalation of epoxy resin and quaternary ammonium into Na‐montmorillonite. The dispersion effect of this kind of organophilic clay in the matrix was s…

Strong blue emission around 435 nm from porous silicon (PS) embedded in Pb(Zrx,Ti1−x)O3 (PZT) is realized, which is stable and clearly visible to the naked eye even after exposure in an ambient atmosphere for a year. The sample is obtained by hydrothermal etching of (100)-oriented single crystal silicon wafers in an H…

We describe the effect of nanoscale spatially coupled trapping centre (TC)–luminescent centre (LC) pairs on the thermoluminescence (TL) properties of LiF : Mg,Ti. It is shown that glow peak 5a (a low-temperature satellite of the major glow peak 5) arises from localized electron–hole (e–h) recombination in a TC–LC pair…

A high-temperature tensile stress study of a monolithic silicon nitride (Si3N4) was performed with time-of-flight neutron diffraction. A dedicated engineering diffractometer was employed at temperatures reaching 1375 °C. Rietveld refinements of diffraction spectra allowed the determination of (1) the coefficient of th…

Amorphous tin oxide films, 100–800 nm thick and of resistivity ∼6–8 mΩ cm, were deposited on glass substrates using a filtered vacuum arc with an oxygen background gas pressure of 4.0 mTorr. The films were annealed in air at a temperature of 300°C for 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 min. Film morphology, structure, composition, ro…
