Abstract A simple method to obtain novel nanofibers composed of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) has been proposed. It consists of the electrospinning of a mixed homogeneous solution of polyelectrolyte partners, and the formation of PEC during the electrospinning. This was achieved by careful choice of the composition…

Acoustic measurements using synchrotron radiation have been performed on glassy GeSe2 up to pressures of 9.6 GPa. A minimum observed in the shear-wave velocity, associated anomalous behavior in Poisson's ratio, and discontinuities in elastic moduli at 4 GPa are indicative of a gradual structural transition in the glas…

Abstract PVP solutions were sonicated with high‐intensity ultrasound, and the weight‐average molecular weight was monitored by an ACOMP system. The use of continuous on‐line data to critically evaluate various models showed that the molecular weight decreased towards a limiting value. Theoretical and phenomenological…

(K 0.5 Na 0.5 )NbO 3 (KNN) is a potential lead‐free replacement for Pb(Zr, Ti)O 3 (PZT) piezoceramics, but its piezoelectric properties are inferior to those of PZT. By growing single crystals of KNN, it may be possible to improve the piezoelectric properties. Recently, single crystals of KNN were grown by the solid‐s…

Nanoporous membranes are made based on photoreactive hydrogen-bridged smectic liquid crystal dimers. The self-assembled layered structure is locked by photopolymerization. The hydrogen bridges are reversibly opened by heating or by changing the pH. This forms periodic pores of which the integrity is conserved by a cov…
