We present a joint theoretical-experimental study on electron scattering by methanol (CH(3)OH) and ethanol (C(2)H(5)OH) in a wide energy range. Experimental differential, integral and momentum-transfer cross sections for elastic electron scattering by ethanol are reported in the 100-1000 eV energy range. The experimen…

We present a self-consistent field theory (SCFT) formalism of topologically unconstrained ring polymers for the first time. The resulting static properties of homogeneous and inhomogeneous ring polymers are compared with the random phase approximation (RPA) results. For ring homopolymer mixture, as χ N increases, the…

Eliminating the electromagnetic interaction of a device with its background is a topic which attracts considerable attention both from a theoretical as well as from an experimental point of view. In this work, we analyze an infinite two‐dimensional planar microstrip antenna, excited by an incident plane wave, and prop…

Linear polymers with hyperbranched side chains are unusual macromolecular structures due to their high number of functional groups in the side chains as well as their potential cylindrical conformation in bulk or solution. In a three-step synthesis combining anionic and oxy-anionic polymerization, hyperbranched polygl…

Abstract Friction-induced hillocks can be produced on monocrystalline silicon by scratching under given conditions. Results show that the height of these hillocks increases with the applied normal load or number of scratching cycles, but decreases with the sliding velocity. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and e…

A light-responsive brush was obtained by surface-initiated ATRP of a methacrylate monomer containing ionizable −COOH side groups caged with the photoremovable group 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl (NVOC). In the caged form, the polymer brush (PNVOCMA) is neutral and hydrophobic due to the presence of the aromatic chromoph…

While silk-based microfibrous scaffolds possess excellent mechanical properties and have been used for ligament tissue-engineering applications, the microenvironment in these scaffolds is not biomimetic. We hypothesized that coating a hybrid silk scaffold with an extracellular matrix (ECM)-like network of self-assembl…

Abstract In the last years, some high renewable content epoxy resins, derived from vegetable oils, have been developed at industrial level and are now commercially available; these can compete with petroleum‐based resins as thermoset matrices for composite materials. Nevertheless, due to the relatively high cost in co…
