We present optical conductivity studies of the type-I clathrate Ba8Ga16Sn30, using a terahertz time-domain spectrometer (0.3-3.0 THz). The lowest-lying spectral peak at 0.72 THz due to the Ba(2) ion's off-center vibration in the oversized cage shows a drastic and anomalous temperature dependence. Below about 100 K, th…

Using coarse-grained DPD simulations, we study the morphology of AB diblock copolymer brushes in selective solvents which are good for the anchored A blocks but poor (of varying degrees measured by the distance from the Θ-point, τ B ) for B blocks. Choosing appropriate polymer compositions given by the fraction of B b…

A new crystal structure of human ubiquitin is reported at 1.8 Å resolution. Compared with the other known crystal structure or the solution NMR structure of monomeric human ubiquitin, this new structure is similar in its overall fold but differs with respect to the conformation of the backbone in a surface-exposed reg…

Abstract Biocomposites developed from wheat gluten using water without any chemicals as plasticizer and jute fibers as reinforcement have much better flexural and tensile properties than similar polypropylene composites reinforced with jute fibers. Wheat gluten is an inexpensive and abundant co‐product derived from re…

Abstract Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers (TPUs) are now widely used because of their excellent properties that include high tensile and tear strength, and good abrasion, impact and chemical resistance. TPUs are multiblock copolymers with alternating sequences of hard segments composed of diisocyanates and simple…

The complex behaviour of drop deposition on a hydrophobic surface is considered by looking at a model problem in which the evolution of a constant-volume liquid bridge is studied as the bridge is stretched. The bridge is pinned with a fixed diameter at the upper contact point, but the contact line at the lower attachm…

A concept of chiral, X-type organized π-conjugated oligomers, linked by means of a binaphthalene pincer, is presented. NMR spectroscopy and cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry indicate that these oligomers are in close proximity and influence each other in a through-space manner in their neutral as well as in th…

We have shown that Lewis-acidic halogenoaluminate ionic liquid (IL) containing subvalent bismuth can be used as a near-IR (NIR) luminescent material. Raman and absorption spectra evidence the coexistence of Bi(5)(3+) and Bi(+) in the liquid. The Bi(5)(3+) and Bi(+) emitters, stabilized by this Lewis-acidic liquid, dem…

The principal Hugoniot for liquid hydrogen was obtained up to 55 GPa under laser-driven shock loading. Pressure and density of compressed hydrogen were determined by impedance-matching to a quartz standard. The shock temperature was independently measured from the brightness of the shock front. Hugoniot data of hydrog…
