We present the structural and dynamic nature of water ultraconfined in the quasi-two-dimensional nanopores of the highly disordered calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H), the major binding phase in cement. Our approach is based on classical molecular simulations. We demonstrate that the C-S-H nanopore space is hydrophilic,…

We report the first synthesis of polyimide aerogels cross-linked through a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, octa(aminophenyl)silsesquioxane (OAPS). Gels formed from polyamic acid solutions of 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), bisaniline-p-xylidene (BAX) and OAPS were chemically imidized and dr…

INTRODUCTION: Intravenously injected nanoparticles, like any other foreign pathogen that enters the body, encounter multiple lines of defense intended to neutralize and eliminate the invading substance. Adsorption of plasma proteins on the nanoparticle surface is the first barrier of defense, which could lead to physi…

Carbon fibre composites (CFCs) planned to be used in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) divertor can be eroded due to hydrogen species from the plasma and the resulting hydrocarbons can be redeposited in other locations. Tritium retention in redeposited materials is the major concern due to th…

Abstract PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate), which is miscible with hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA)‐based polyimide, was grafted onto MWNTs surfaces to enhance their dispersion relative to that of pristine MWNTs. The electrical conductivity of the 6FDA‐based composite revealed percolation threshold behavior, and the 6…

A modified phase function model has been introduced to evaluate the imaging performance of hybrid systems considering the dispersion. In this paper, the effects of incidence angles and manufacturing errors on the performance of hybrid systems are analyzed by an additional phase difference (APD) method based upon the m…
