An in-depth analysis was made on the effect of polyamide repeat structure on the morphology and mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on nylon-6, nylon-11, and nylon-12. Special care was taken to make comparisons under fixed thermal and rheological conditions. Increasing the aliphatic content relative to nylon…
Using an electrochemically gated transistor, we achieved controlled and reversible doping of poly(p-phenylene vinylene) in a large concentration range. Our data open a wide energy-window view on the density of states (DOS) and show, for the first time, that the core of the DOS function is Gaussian, while the low-energ…
We studied magnetoresistance (MR) of nanoconstrictions created in (Ga,Mn)As epilayers by O+ ion implantation. Original layers exhibit a negative MR that is plausibly caused by weak localization (WL) effects at the lowest temperatures. In constricted samples, additionally, jumps of an enhanced conductance appear on the…
The spin Hall effect is investigated in a high mobility two dimensional electron system with the spin-orbital coupling of both the Rashba and the Dresselhaus types. A spin current perpendicular to the electric field is generated by either the Rashba or the Dresselhaus coupling. The spin Hall conductance is independent…
Abstract Summary: A simple and inexpensive method for forming a low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) superhydrophobic surface by controlling the crystallization behavior of LDPE by adjusting the crystallization time and nucleation rate has been proposed. The resulting porous surface, with hierarchical micro‐ and nanostruct…
We report formation of polyelectrolyte/multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT) multilayers by the layer-by-layer assembly technique. Both “hollow” and “bamboo” type MWNTs were employed. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopy indicate high structural homogeneity of the prepared composites. Ellipsometry and the absorban…
Abstract Although there have been many reports on the preparation and applications of various polymer nanofibers with the electrospinning technique, the understanding of synthetic parameters in electrospinning remains limited. In this article, we investigate experimentally the influence of solvents on the morphology o…
We have studied the self-assembly of amphiphilic dendrons extended with linear polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains and their ion complexes. Keeping the dendron core and linear PEO chain compatible allows for the combination of dendritic core-shell and conventional blockcopolymer characteristics for complex mesophase behav…
One of the biggest challenges in cell biology is the imaging of living cells. For this purpose, the most commonly used visualization tool is fluorescent markers. However, conventional labels, such as organic fluorescent dyes or green fluorescent proteins (GFP), lack the photostability to allow the tracking of cellular…
We present a review of the Raman spectra of graphite from an experimental and theoretical point of view. The disorder-induced Raman bands in this material have been a puzzling Raman problem for almost 30 years. Double-resonant Raman scattering explains their origin as well as the excitation-energy dependence, the over…
In this study, the erosion of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) TFE Teflon by hyperthermal atomic oxygen (AO) has been examined using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The initial F/C atom ratio of 1.66 decreases to 1.15 after a 2 h exposure to a flux of 2 × 10 15 atoms/cm 2 s AO with an average kinetic energy ∼5 eV. Th…
The reaction of the cyclotetraphosphate ion (P(4)O(12)(4)(-)) with [CpTiCl(3)] (Cp = eta(5)-C(5)Me(5)) gives [(CpTi)(2)(P(4)O(12))(2)](2)(-) where the P(4)O(12) ligands adopt a saddle conformation, while that with [(CpTiCl)(3)(mu-O)(3)] leads to [(CpTi)(3)(mu-O)(3)(P(4)O(12))](-) containing a crown form P(4)O(12) liga…
The diffusion of all stable lanthanides was measured both in calcia stabilized zirconia (CSZ) and in yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) in the temperature range between 1,286 and 1,600 degrees C. The lanthanide diffusion coefficients obtained increase with increasing ionic radius. The experimental activation enthalpy of…
Rodlike fibrous structures are increasingly found with biomacromolecules, e.g. silks, elastin, and collagen. Here we propose a multiblock copolymer model that can lead to these larger-scale structures. One component consists of highly regular blocks, whereas the blocks of another, incompatible component exhibit a wide…
Applied electric fields are known to induce significant changes in the properties of systems of polarizable molecules or particles. For rod-shaped molecules, the field-induced behavior can be rather surprising, as in the case of the negative electric birefringence of concentrated solutions of rodlike polyelectrolytes.…
Strong optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), stimulated by blue light, has been observed, for the first time, in natural calcium fluoride (CaF(2)) phosphor, used as thermoluminescence dosemeters. Traps responsible for all three thermoluminescence (TL) peaks appearing upto 300 degrees C, i.e. 126, 196 and 264 degree…
Abstract Hybrid nanocomposite films of poly(vinylsilsesquioxane) (PVSSQ) and polyimide (PI) (PI/PVSSQ) were prepared via sol‐gel process from triethoxyvinylsilane (VSSQ) and thermal imidization from 3,3′,4,4′‐biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA)‐ p ‐phenylene diamine (PDA) polyamic acid (BPDA‐PDA PAA). We invest…
Modelling and analysis of the high-voltage flyback transformer utilised in small-sized high-voltage power supplies are presented. The equivalent circuit model, frequency characteristics and transient behaviour are investigated to analyse the effects of parasitic parameters in the discontinuous conduction mode. Simulat…
We have synthesized a coil-rod-coil molecule based on a reactive rod block that self-organizes into a 3-D hexagonal close-packed (hcp) bundle structure in the melt state. Photo-cross-linking within an aromatic bundle yielded macromolecular disklike objects (molecular weight of 330 kDa) with a narrow size distribution…
We present a review of our initial studies concerning the control of polymorphism in semicrystalline polymers with cyclodextrins (CDs). CDs are cyclic starch oligomers with six (α-CD), seven (β-CD), and eight (γ-CD) α-1,4-linked glucose units possessing bracelet structures with hydrophobic and hydrophilic interiors an…
