Benefiting from excitonic charge-transfer states, an efficient non-linear optical response is observed in type-II nanocrystals by four-wave mixing when the incident photon energy lies below the bandgaps of constituent semiconductors. The non-linear optical properties in nanocrystals can be manipulated by the band alig…

In this work, we investigated the effect of topological structures of block copolymers on the formation of the nanophase in epoxy thermosets containing amphiphilic block copolymers. Two block copolymers composed of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate) (PTFEA) blocks were synthesized to po…

A continuous section of hydromorphic to well‐drained podzols in a Late Pleistocene marine terrace of southeastern Brazil offers a unique opportunity for a detailed interpretation of podzol morphology. The soils show very deep and homogeneously colored B horizons in the most hydromorphic members, where the predominant…

Aqueous foams of oleic acid/oleate solution were found to be pH-responsive with pH changes. Detailed characterization of the aqueous foams of oleic acid/oleate solution was conducted with respect to their stability, structure, and pH response. The pH values required for foam circulation were studied through pH adjustm…

Bilayer graphene has attracted a great deal of attention for many electronic and optical applications. Although large-area bilayer graphene can be synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), multilayer growth often occurs and subsequent processes are required to obtain uniform bilayer films. We report an efficient…

Conformations of a single-component bottle-brush polymer with a fully flexible backbone under poor solvent conditions are studied by molecular dynamics simulations, using a coarse-grained bead-spring model with side chains of up to N = 40 effective monomers. By variation of the solvent quality and the grafting density…

Multiobjective optimization using a Reduced Space Searching Algorithm (RSSA) is employed to optimally design titanium alloys suitable for prosthetic applications, i.e., with high strength, low elastic modulus, adequate biocompatibility, and low costs. The objectives in question are conflicting in nature, and thus mult…

Fast responsive photochromic materials are obtained by encapsulation of the photoactive molecules within liquid-filled capsules. By properly selecting the nature of the liquid core, solid stable materials are prepared with solution-like color-changing rates that are at least tenfold faster than those measured for rigi…

The effect of (Sc,Ta) doping on the properties of Bi 3 TiNbO 9 -based ceramics was investigated. The (Sc,Ta) modification greatly improves the piezoelectric activity of Bi 3 TiNbO 9 -based ceramics and significantly decreases the dielectric dissipation. The d 33 of Bi 3 (Ti 0.96 Sc 0.02 Ta 0.02 )NbO 9 was found to be…

A new approach is presented to produce amorphous porous silicon coatings (a-pSi) with closed porosity by magnetron sputtering of a silicon target. It is shown how the use of He as the process gas at moderated power (50-150 W RF) promotes the formation of closed nanometric pores during the growth of the silicon films.…
