Abstract Epoxy composites filled with glass fiber and organo‐montmorillonite (OMMT) were prepared by the hand lay‐up method. The flexural properties of the epoxy/glass fiber/OMMT composites were characterized by a three‐point bending test. The flexural modulus and strength of epoxy/glass fiber were increased significa…

Superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity of surfaces are key properties for fabrication of self-cleaning surfaces (Lotus effect). It is well known that the mechanism behind this is based on the surface roughness and surface functionalization. To obtain an understanding of the details of the underlying mechanism, a…

We first synthesized the mesoporous titania, designated KRICT-MT, via replication of the citric acid (CA)-templated mesoporous silica, composed of the silica-nanosphere framework. The KRICT-MT showed the extremely high thermal stability and bimodal mesostructure with the small primary mesopores of 4−5 nm and the large…

Thin films of cadmium sulfide (CdS) were prepared on Au(111) by a new electrochemical co-deposition method. The appropriate electrodeposition potentials based on the underpotential deposition potentials (upd) of Cd and S have been determined by the cyclic voltammetric measurements. The films were grown at room tempera…

We investigate the temperature ($T$)-dependent low-energy electronic structure of a boron-doped diamond thin film using ultrahigh resolution laser-excited photoemission spectroscopy. We observe a clear shift of the leading edge below $T=11\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$, indicative of a superconducting gap opening ($\ensu…

Novel materials based on the Ga-Sb-Te system are proposed as a medium for phase-change memory (PCM). Studied compositions were located along the pseudo-binary tie-line GaSb-Sb8Te2, in which the atomic ratio Sb/Te of GaSbTe films is higher by incorporating GaSb into Sb8Te2, indicating a possible higher crystallization…
