We derive the modified Young's equation for the contact angle of a fluid droplet on a rigid substrate using an interface displacement model and identify the line tension with the excess free energy per unit length calculated previously for a straight three-phase contact line.
The electrochemistry of a chemically prepared polypyrrole/poly(styrene-4-sulfonate) powder has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy in a variety of aqueous electrolytes. The facile p-doping/undoping of thick layers of the polymer composite is shown to be due to the high ionic conductivity…
Anionic ring-opening polymerization of ε-thionocaprolactone was examined. When organolithiums, Grignard reagents, and lithium tert -butoxide were used as the initiators, the corresponding polythiocarboxylic- O -ester was selectively formed. When potassium tert -butoxide and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) wer…
EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) and XANES (X-ray absorption near edge structure) techniques have been used to study the structural evolution of nanocomposites constituted of nickel oxide nanoparticles embedded into an amorphous silica matrix during their sol−gel preparation. EXAFS data show that no in…
The molecular structural volume change (as determined by laser-induced optoacoustics), Δ V R ∼−18 Å 3, accompanying triplet state formation of free base 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphine (TSPP 4 - ) in aqueous solutions of pH > 5.5, was markedly decreased to −5 Å 3 for the dimer, to −3.5 Å 3 for ZnTSPP…
The contributions to the thermodynamics of liquid SPC/E water from its inherent structures have been determined over a broad range of temperature and density (220−500 K, 0.8−1.25 g/cm 3 ). Molecular dynamics simulations of shifted-force SPC/E water give a retracing locus of density maxima in the equilibrium liquid wit…

We present “design rules” for the selection of molecules to achieve electronic control over semiconductor surfaces, using a simple molecular orbital model. The performance of most electronic devices depends critically on their surface electronic properties, i.e., surface band-bending and surface recombination velocity…
Thiol-capped CdTe nanocrystals with cubic zinc blende structure are synthesized in aqueous solution. Their steady-state and time-resolved luminescence characteristics are studied at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures. A strong exciton luminescence peak at 2.3 eV dominates the emission spectrum of CdTe nanocrystals…

Medical devices are some of the most demanding applications for polycarbonate. The properties of poly carbonate that make it desirable for use in medical devices include its transparency to light and x-rays, light weight, heat resistance, toughness, impact strength and high elongation, dimensional stability, biocompat…
Most materials either are specialty materials that find usage in small niche areas or commodity materials that have a few huge markets. This is as true for plastics as it is for other material systems. Whether we look at large-volume commodity plastics or low-volume specialty plastics, most tend to fit the 80:20 rule.…
Using a Ni−Sn heterometal alkoxide, [Ni 2 Sn 2 (O t Bu) 8 ], in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, thin films of biphasic composite, Ni 3 Sn 4 /SnO 2, have been obtained. Due to the presence of two metal atoms in a single molecule, the decomposition occurs at a molecular level resulting in homogeneous incorpor…
In this paper, density functional theory is used to estimate hydrogen adsorption in a novel carbonaceous material, single-walled carbon nanotubes. An idealized adsorbent structure for the nanotubes is assumed. We have mapped out the regime of operating pressures and temperatures where an adsorption-based storage syste…
A series of tetranuclear copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes is described, all of which form by a strict self-assembly process involving just a single ligand and the metal salt. The ligands POAP, POAPZ, PZOAP, and 6POAP contain terminal pyridine and pyrazine residues bound to a central flexible diazine subunit (N−N) a…
Making use of the tight-binding Green's function technique, we have calculated the STM images of graphite with surface and sub-surface defects, while taking into account the relaxation of the lattice due to defects. We have demonstrated that two different physical mechanisms may result in the formation of hillocks in…
We present ab initio local-density-functional electronic structure calculations for the (111) and (-1-1-1) surfaces of cubic BN. The energetically stable reconstructions, namely the N adatom, N3 triangle models on the (111), the (2x1), boron and nitrogen triangle patterns on the (-1-1-1) surface are investigated. Band…
We prepared high epitaxial thin films of the compound Sr_2FeMoO_6 with narrow rocking curves by pulsed laser deposition. The diagonal and nondiagonal elements of the resistivity tensor were investigated at temperatures from 4 K up to room temperature in magnetic fields up to 8 T. An electronlike ordinary Hall effect a…
