Abstract The mechanical properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) and poly(hydroxy ester ether) (PHEE) blends were studied as a function of the starch concentration. The moisture level present during processing significantly affects the morphology. A dispersed droplet morphology was observed even at very high starch le…

Recent experiments indicate that doping low concentrations of bent-core molecules into calamitic smectic solvents can induce anticlinic and biaxial smectic phases. We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations of mixtures of rodlike molecules (hard spherocylinders with length/breadth ratio ${L}_{\mathrm{rod}}/D\phantom{…

Abstract The flame retardant effect of zinc sulphide (ZnS) in plasticised poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC‐P) materials was investigated. PVC‐P containing different combinations of additives such as 5% ZnS, 5% of antimony oxide (Sb 2 O 3 ) and 5% of mixtures based on Sb 2 O 3 and ZnS were compared. The thermal degradation an…

Abstract Novel natural clay–polymer hybrid materials are prepared from natural bentonite that was modified with silane‐coupling agent, γ‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (A‐174), and acrylonitrile. By changing the molar ratio of acrylonitrile in the initial monomer feed, several clay–hybrid materials were prepared.…

The monomer and dimer structures of cyclo[(− l -Phe 1 - d -Ala 2 ) n −] and cyclo[(− l -Phe 1 - d - Me N -Ala 2 ) n −] ( n = 3−6) were studied by using the semiempirical molecular orbital AM1 method and the density functional B3LYP method. The structural characteristics of these molecules were revealed, some of which…

We consider the statics of compound droplets made of two immiscible fluids on a rigid substrate, in the limit when gravity is dominated by capillarity. In particular, we show that the merging of four phases along a single contact line is a persistent and robust phenomenon from a mechanical and thermodynamic perspectiv…

By exploiting the self-organization of metal salt-loaded diblock copolymer micelles followed by a plasma-induced removal of the polymer matrix, well-separated gold particles ranging in size from 1.6 to 10 nm have been prepared on top of diamond substrates. X-ray-induced photoelectron spectra of the valence-band region…

We present a quantum mechanical study of carbamoylphosphine oxide (CMPO) complexes of MX(3) (M(3+) = La(3+), Eu(3+), Yb(3+); X(-) = Cl(-), NO(3)(-)) with a systematic comparison of monodentate vs bidentate binding modes of CMPO. The per ligand interaction energies Delta E increase from La(3+) to Yb(3+) and are higher…

New porphyrin assemblies containing 17 porphyrin molecules are constructed by using free base TPP-type porphyrins having eight pyrazine moieties 1. Spectroscopic titration of dimeric [meso-tetrakis(2-carboxy-4-nonylphenyl)porphyrinato]zinc(II) 2 with these porphyrins shows that the processes of the formation of the he…

Surface-stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal cells are usually bistable, with the spontaneous polarization either up or down, perpendicular to the plane of the cell. In materials with high spontaneous polarization the polarization charge self-interaction leads to a monostable structure that exhibits a thresholdless…

We describe a new chiral tubule-forming lipid in which the C-O-P phosphoryl linkage of the archetypal tubule-forming molecule, 1,2-bis(10,12-tricosadiynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, "DC(8,9)PC", is replaced by a C-P linkage. Tubule formation with this phosphonate analogue proceeds under the same mild conditions as…
