A 10-nm-thick PbZr0.25Ti0.75O3 thin film is epitaxially grown on a SrRuO3/BaTiO3/ZrO2/Si heterostructure substrate by reactive evaporation. Structural and electrical properties of the film are investigated. It is concluded that the film is ferroelectric and retains a native uniform upward polarization. Artificial down…
We report calculations of the electronic and magnetic properties of small Co clusters, coated with Ag or Cu, performed with a parametrized tight-binding method. For a given number of Co atoms in a cluster, we obtain a large range of magnetization values, depending on the size and shape of the coating. The noble metal…
Efficient intramolecular energy transfer (ET) from an excited chromophore to Nd3+ and Er3+ ions with subsequent emission in the near-infrared (hν2) is possible in novel compounds (1). These are made by covalent attachment of fluorescein to a calix[4]arene possessing a cavity at the lower rim in which the trivalent lan…
A triblock copolymer that undergoes a thermotropic order-order transition between hexagonally packed cylinders ( $C$) and body-centered-cubic spheres ( $S$) is examined. Transmission electron microscopy provides real space images, and small-angle x-ray scattering the reciprocal space signature, of fluctuations with cu…
Low thresholds (∼500 W/cm2) for amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) are reported in films of soluble poly(paraphenylene vinylene)-based conjugated polymer blends. Efficient Förster energy transfer from the absorbing host polymer to the emitting guest polymer is observed. Emission in the blends originates predominantl…
A single bubble in water is excited by a standing ultrasound wave. At high intensity the bubble starts to emit light. Together with the emitted light pulse, a shock wave is generated in the liquid at collapse time. The time-dependent velocity of the outward-traveling shock is measured with an imaging technique. The pr…
In the literature, the Schottky emission equation is widely used to describe the conduction mechanism in perovskite-type titanate thin films. Though the equation provides a good fit to the leakage current data, the extracted values of the Richardson and dielectric constants are inconsistent with their experimental val…
Well-aligned bundles of single-wall carbon nanotubes under tensile stresses were observed to fracture in real-time by transmission electron microscopy. The expansion of elliptical holes in the polymer matrix results in a tensile force in bridging nanotubes. The polymer matrix at both ends of the bundles deforms extens…
Although the elastic properties of a carbon nanotube are nearly independent of wrapping indices, we show that the onset of plastic deformation depends very strongly on the wrapping index. An $(n,0)$ nanotube has an elastic limit nearly twice that of an $(n,n)$ tube with the same radius. Such great variation has import…
We present simulations of the dynamic and temperature dependent behavior of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) by utilizing recently developed parallel codes which enable a coupling of length scales. The novel techniques used in this simulation accurately model the behavior of the mechanical components of MEMS do…
We show that the lattice Boltzmann formalism can be used to describe wave propagation in a heterogeneous media, as well as solid-body-like systems and fracture propagation. Several fundamental properties of real fractures (such as propagation speed and transition between rough and smooth crack surfaces) are well captu…
Successive passes through an extruder can modify the melt morphology of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) by applying a shearing process. The major effects of shear modification are to decrease the elastic properties, as evidenced by the decrease in extrudate swell at the exit of a capillary and in melt viscosity at a l…
In this paper, we present, for the first time, the magnetic properties of Cd 1 - y Mn y S nanocrystals of average size (4 nm) at various compositions, y . We demonstrate that the Mn−Mn interactions are markedly enhanced compared to the bulk material. As in the bulk phase, the photoluminescence and the EPR hyperfine st…
Using low-angle laser light-scattering (LALLS) and multiangle laser light-scattering (MALLS) techniques, absolute molar mass averages were determined for a wide variety of polymers in the Methocel™ product line produced by The Dow Chemical Company. These data were correlated to GPC molar mass averages obtained from co…
Size distribution information was used to monitor time-dependent agglomeration in aqueous solutions of a high molecular mass polyacrylamide. Although the individual polymer molecules had diameters in the order of 0.4 μm, a high number of agglomerates were seen that may contain four to six polymer chains. As the soluti…
Two sets of organotin compounds, that is, one having dibutyl and the other dioctyl groups each with a varying length of a carboxyl group attached to a tin atom, were studied as catalysts for the polycondensation of room temperature vulcanization of hydroxyfunctional polydimethylsiloxane (HOPDMS). The experiments were…
The crystal structure and the morphology of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)−2-methyl resorcinol (MRES) supramolecular complexes are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering. Depending on the MRES content, two molecular complexes with different stoichiometries are obs…
Polypyrrole (PPY) films with a thickness of 3–4 μm were obtained by chemical oxidation of pyrrole (PY) at the interface of chloroform and water with an oxidant (NH4)2S2O8. The films were compact and could be removed with a solid plate. The quality and compositions of these films varied with the molar ratios of the mon…

Agrowastes and woodflour are a potential and attractive alternative of cheap reinforcement for brittle polymeric materials because they can reduce costs and, at the same time, improve certain properties. On the other hand, their high moisture sorption and low microbial resistance are disadvantages that need to be cons…
