A new method to prepare polypropylene- graft -polystyrene copolymers with tailored structure has been developed. The ability of a series of copolymers with variable structure to compatibilize the polypropylene−polystyrene blends was evaluated through microscopic observation of the morphology of the blends. The synthes…

Abstract We demonstrate a cholesteric liquid crystal‐polymer dispersion where the liquid crystal is encapsulated via polymerization induced phase separation. A polymerizable additive formulation is used to control the liquid crystal droplet size. Encapsulation prevents the flow of liquid crystal thereby preserving the…

A thorough investigation of the adsorption and diffusion of Mg, O, and O(2) on MgO(001) terraces is performed by first-principles calculations. The single Mg adatom weakly binds to surface oxygens, diffuses, and evaporates easily at room temperatures. Atomic O strongly binds to surface oxygens, forming peroxide groups…

The key requirements of nanotube formation are an atomic carbon source and a source of nanometal particles. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been synthesized by an argon/nitrogen microwave plasma torch using a mixture of acetylene and vapor-phase iron pentacarbonyl at the atmospheric pressure. The synthesized CNTs have be…

A finite element method is presented to compute three-dimensional eddy current distributions in nonlinear laminated iron cores. In a first step, the core is assumed to have an anisotropic conductivity of zero value in the direction perpendicular to the laminations. In a second step, the eddy currents within the sheets…

Abstract The partial discharge (PD) activity during propagation of electrical treeing in epoxy resin is described. The electrical trees grew in needle‐plane samples without and with an internal barrier up to the final breakdown. The simultaneous tree growth and discharge activity show a correlation between the propaga…

This paper presents an open-celled foaming extrusion process with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and LDPE/polystyrene (PS) blends. The basic strategy for achieving a high open-cell content was to induce a hard/soft melt structure with crosslinking and to foam this non-homogeneous melt structure. The hard sections for…

Photo-polymerisation of liquid crystalline di-acrylates is a very versatile method to produce homogeneously aligned polymer films. The orientation of the liquid crystals and hence the anisotropic optical properties of the films are frozen in by the photo-polymerisation process. Homogeneously aligned nematic liquid cry…
