Chaotic orientational dynamics of sheared nematic polymers is documented in laboratory experiments and predicted by Doi-Hess kinetic theory for infinitely thin rods. We address robustness of rheochaos when simple shear is modified by a planar straining flow, and the macromolecules have finite aspect ratio. We predict…

Molecular dynamics simulations of three kinds of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) single-chain models with precisely controlled branching are performed. It is shown that the crystallinity of copolymers with branches shorter than C 10 H 21 decreases with increasing branch length, whereas for copolymers having br…

Surfaces whose reflectivity can be thermally controlled were formed on single crystals of silicon by using ion beams to create a nanocomposite layer consisting of VO2 precipitates embedded in a thin-film matrix of amorphous SiO2. The surface nanocomposite layer was produced by first thermally oxidizing a Si crystal to…

Effects of the chemical environment on devices utilizing organic semiconductors are discussed. It is convenient and justified to use silicon-based insulated gate field-effect transistors (IGFET) as the yardstick by which the performance of organic field-effect transistors (OFET) are measured. However, the same issues…

We report here a direct generation of measurable voltages and currents when a gas flows over a variety of solids even at the modest speed of a few meters per second. The underlying mechanism is an interesting interplay of Bernoulli's principle and the Seebeck effect: Pressure differences along streamlines give rise to…
