Abstract Summary: Using the bond fluctuation model (BFM), simulations have been performed on molecular bottle brushes with two chemically different types of side chains. In the first part of this work, rigidity of the backbone is imposed. The influence of solvent quality and side chain length on the intramolecular pha…
Microencapsulation of acetaminophen in poly(L-lactide) was studied using the oil-in-water emulsification solvent-evaporation technique. Methylene chloride was used as the dispersed medium and water as the dispersing medium. The thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry data indicated that the ac…
Abstract Summary: The influence of number‐average molecular weight $\overline M _{\rm n}$ ranging from 1.4 · 10 4 to 1.2 · 10 6 g/mol on the thermal behaviour of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been studied. Samples have been prepared by radiation‐induced degradation of commercial PTFE. The molecular weight $\overl…
Using a conventional RF magnetron sputtering system, we have obtained two types of ZnO films on various kinds of substrate. One is a film with the c -axes of crystallites unidirectionally aligned in the substrate plane {(112̄0) textured film}. The other is a film with c -axes parallel and perpendicular to the plane (m…
Tungsten oxide whiskers were prepared on a tungsten thin film by oxidation with H2O and a subsequent annealing treatment at a temperature of over 900 °C in a vacuum. The tungsten oxide formed by oxidation was transformed into smooth, straight whiskers with a monoclinic-crystalline structure after the vacuum annealing…
Abstract Crosslinked spherical nanoparticles based on trimethoxysilane monomers have been prepared by polycondensation in aqueous emulsion. These particles have been labeled chemically at their surface region with two different types of organic dye molecules (cinnamate, coumarin), which both are well known for their a…
An integrated CO2 corrosion - multiphase flow model was built which takes into account the effect of most important variables. The model is mechanistic in nature and resides on clear theoretical foundations. All the assumptions in the model are explicitly stated and are open to future adjustments and improvements.The…
Phenomenological similarities between the temperature dependence of the thermal and transport properties of supercooled liquids and certain crystalline fast-ion conductors are explored, using information from computer simulations and experiments. The similarities include non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of the tra…
Structural investigations of bare and surface-modified polystyrene microspheres (beads) have been carried out by infrared-visible sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy and scanning force microscopy (SFM). Bead surfaces have been modified by either the covalent linking of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and bo…
Diamond particles were coated with a thin SiC layer by the reaction of SiO vapor with diamond, and the growth mechanism of SiC as well as the oxidation resistance of the SiC‐coated diamond were studied. The growth process of the SiC layer can be separated into two steps. In the first step, a thin layer of SiC with a t…
Abstract Summary: An in‐situ microfibrillar blend based on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polyethylene (PE) was fabricated through slit die extrusion, hot‐stretching and quenching. The morphology of the PET in‐situ microfibers, which were observed after the matrix was etched away, appears to be dependent on th…
Abstract We have developed a new MVA‐LCD with high transmittance comparable to a TN‐LCD. We stacked a pair of quarter wave plates and stabilized the molecular alignment by dividing each pixel and arranging fine slits and nipple‐shaped protrusions. The quality affordable for desk‐top monitor is realized for mobile disp…
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were coated with a SiC layer using SiO vapor. The growth mechanism of SiC and the oxidation resistance of the SiC‐coated MWCNTs were studied. The growth of the SiC layer was controlled by adjusting the partial pressure of CO 2 using carbon felt placed in a crucible. The nanometer‐…
We describe a novel magnetic force control method. The method employs a mechanical stress applied to a magnetostrictive material to control the attractive force between fixed and movable members of a magnetic circuit that includes a permanent magnet. The method has the advantage over electromagnet control that a const…
Carbon nanotube (CNT) cathode surfaces have been exposed to Ar plasma and the emission characteristics were measured. When a CNT cathode was exposed to Ar plasma for 3 min, the emission characteristics were improved. The emission current increased after an Ar plasma treatment for 3 min by three orders of magnitude fro…
Photoswitching of the coordination number of silicon between four and five in allyldifluoro[2-(phenylazo)phenyl]silane, which was confirmed by X-ray analysis and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, caused multistep reactions to proceed or stop, yielding tetrafluoro[2-(1-allyl-2-phenylhydrazino)phenyl]silicate without alter…
Zinc and zinc alloy galvanized steel is used increasingly for structural cladding, automotive, and domestic appliance applications. In assessing the different galvanizing coatings, it is important to understand the nature of corrosion reactions occurring on the metal surfaces. To this end, the scanning vibrating elect…
Brain tumors are one of the most lethal forms of cancer. They are extremely difficult to treat. Although, the rate of brain tumor incidence is relatively low, the field clearly lacks therapeutic strategies capable of overcoming barriers for effective delivery of drugs to brain tumors. Clinical failure of many potentia…
Abstract Thermally‐initiated living radical graft polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) with ozone‐pretreated poly[ N , N ′‐(1,4‐phenylene)‐3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenonetetra‐carboxylic amic acid] (PAmA) via a reversible addition–fragmentation chain‐transfer (RAFT)‐mediated process was car…
Shallow trench isolation (STI) has emerged as one of the primary techniques for device isolation in complementary metal oxide semiconductor technologies. This device isolation technology has become extremely important to satisfy the high-density requirements of modern integrated circuits. It is of great importance to…
