We study the diffusive behavior of two-dimensional charged colloidal suspensions subjected to a sinusoidal substrate by means of Brownian dynamics simulations. We mainly focus on the dependence of the mean-square displacement on the substrate strength. Our findings show a variation in the particle diffusion due to a s…

Abstract Catalytic activity during the formation of polyethylene (PE)/clay nanocomposites by in situ polymerization with metallocenes was studied. Ethylene polymerization was carried out with the homogeneous metallocene in the presence of the clay particles and using the clay‐supported metallocene catalyst. It was fou…

We have deposited nearly stress-free single-crystal thin films of (001) Pb(Mn,Nb)O3–Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PMnN-PZT) on (001)MgO substrates by rf-magnetron sputtering using a quenching process after the film growth. It is found that single c-domain/single-crystal thin films of PMnN-PZT containing 5%–10% PMnN show a strong hard…

Rare-earth niobates and tantalates are functional materials that are exploited as photocatalysts, host lattices for phosphors, and ion conductors. These phases are extremely challenging to synthesize by methods other than solid-state processing, which limits expansion of this useful class of materials. Hydrothermal pr…

The transport properties of hydrogen in metal hydrides are crucial to the kinetics of H2 storage in these materials. Previous first-principles calculations and experiments have shown that H transport in MgH2 and NaMgH3 is dominated by charged defects. This creates the possibility of enhancing hydrogen diffusion in the…

This short review covers flame retardant chemistry other than the main classes of halogen, phosphorus, or metal hydroxide, and instead focuses on the transition metal element flame retardants that have shown some effectiveness in reducing polymer flammability. There appears to be a lot of promise in these flame retard…

Crack disappearance by high-temperature oxidation was studied in alumina (Al2O3) composites toughened by Ni nanoparticles. This process is performed in air at temperature ranging from 1000 to 1300°C for 1 to 48 h. The results showed that crack disappearance depends on both annealing temperature and time. Complete crac…
