The spontaneous polarization and the piezoelectric constants of ZnO and BeO are calculated at an ab initio quantum-mechanical level by using two alternative strategies, namely, through the Berry phase scheme applied to delocalized crystalline orbitals, and through the definition of well-localized Wannier functions. Th…

Abstract Supertough nylon 11 is prepared by using a plasticizer. The influence of plasticizers on the impact property and tensile properties of plasticized nylon 11 were investigated. The results show that the impact strength is improved remarkably by methylbenzene sulfonamide, and the tensile strength is almost the s…

Abstract A series of new thermotropic main‐chain liquid crystalline copolyesters were prepared by polycondensation of 2,6‐naphthalenedicarbonyl chloride, 4,4′‐thiodiphenol, and α,ω‐alkanediols ( n = 4–10) in diphenyl ether at 200°C. Thermal transition behaviors of these copolyesters were investigated by differential s…

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto mercaptochitin and some properties of the resulting graft copolymers have been studied. Methyl methacrylate was efficiently graft copolymerized onto mercaptochitin in dimethyl sulfoxide, and the grafting percentage reached 1300% under appropriate conditions. Altho…

γ orthorhombic isotactic polypropylene transcrystallinity nucleated on aramid fibers under high pressure was investigated by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and by scanning electron microscopy. It was determined that the c axes of the lamellae (the growth axes) are distributed radially about the fiber and that the lamel…

A simple and reproducible single phase preparation of 2.5 nm silver nanoclusters is described using silver benzoate along with triethylamine (TEA) and dodecanethiol (DDT); these spontaneously self-assemble to a two-dimensional array whereas in the absence of thiol only polydispersed nanoclusters are obtained.

The cluster compound Au55(PPh3)12Cl6 has been reanalyzed by photoelectron spectroscopy giving direct evidence for a nonmetallic behavior of the individual Au clusters as long as their ligand shell remains intact. The exposure to x-rays during the measurements is found to partly decompose the shell by removal of the ch…

A new approach to the preparation of large palladium nanoparticles with diameters between 25 and 100 nm is presented. In this approach PdCl42− ions are reduced on the surface of performed 12-nm-diameter gold “seeds” by the introduction of ascorbic acid. The resultant particles exhibit improved monodispersity relative…
