Abstract In this paper we report the synthesis and characterization of a series of electrochromic polyamides (alternating copolymers). The synthesis proceeds via the condensation polymerization between amine‐capped oligoaniline and acyl chlorides such as isophthaloyl dichloride, terephthaloyl chloride, azelaoyl chlori…

The literature contains reports of several studies correlating the porosity and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. Most of these studies determine this correlation based on the parameter of global volumetric porosity. These reports, however, fail to separate the effects of microstructural features and porosity…

Al 1−x Cr x N thin films with 0.02⩽x⩽0.1 were deposited by reactive co-sputtering onto c-plane (001) sapphire. Room-temperature ferromagnetism with a coercive field of 85 Oe was observed in samples with chromium contents as low as x=0.027 (2.7%). With increasing Cr content the mean magnetic moment is strongly suppress…

Structural and thermal characteristics of crystalline ropes of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are investigated. Novel crystalline ropes of polygonized SWCNTs produced by laser irradiation exhibit rounded-hexagonal cross sections in contrast to earlier observations of circular tubes. Extensive molecular dynamics…

Y 1.9 Er 0.1 O 3 and Y 1.7 Yb 0.2 Er 0.1 O 3 nanocrystalline powders were prepared via a reverse‐strike coprecipitation method using nitrates and ammonia as raw materials. The obtained powders were of cubic‐phase structure of Y 2 O 3 and the particle size was in the range of ∼60–80 nm. Strong red ( 4 F 9/2 – 4 I 15/2…

An array factor approach of leaky-wave (LW) antennas is proposed for efficient and fast computation of the radiation patterns of complex metamaterial LW structures of arbitrary length from the analysis of a single periodic unit cell. This approach is demonstrated in one-dimensional and two-dimensional composite right/…

The role of phonon dispersion in the prediction of the thermal conductivity of germanium between temperatures of 2 K and 1000 K is investigated using the Holland approach. If no dispersion is assumed, a large, nonphysical discontinuity is found in the transverse phonon relaxation time over the entire temperature range…

Abstract. A set of lysimeter based experiments was carried out during 2000/01 to evaluate the impact of soil type and grassland management on potassium (K) leaching. The effects of (1) four soil textures (sand, loam, loam over chalk and clay), (2) grazing and cutting (with farmyard manure application), and (3) K appli…

The corrosion behavior of dental alloys often is evaluated in artificial saliva solutions. In the literature, it was found that several solutions have been used, but no information indicating whether they really behave as natural saliva does, or whether they can be compared with each other, was mentioned. In the prese…

Aqueous (solution) combustion synthesis of iron oxide is investigated using iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate and three model fuels, each containing one specific functional group. The investigated ligands, in order of experimentally determined reactivity, are −NH 2 > −OH > −COOH, where only the amino group triggers a vigo…

A novel electronically scanned periodic microstrip leaky-wave (LW) antenna based on the concept of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterials is presented. This antenna includes varactors modulating the capacitive loading of the unit cell and therefore the propagation constant of the structure, which results in…

Abstract Direct synthesis (co‐condensation reaction) and post‐synthesis reaction (grafting) are combined for the first time to efficiently fabricate bifunctionalized ordered mesoporous materials (OMMs). Ethylenediamine‐containing OMMs (ED‐MCM‐41) were first synthesized via direct synthesis and then further modified by…

Complex permittivity spectra of the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-epoxy composites with mass concentrations up to 25.9% were measured from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The composites exhibit high real and imaginary relative permittivities over broad bandwidth, showing strong dependence on the MWNT loading. It is observed th…

Abstract Summary: Novel hyperbranched poly([1,2,3]‐triazole)s were synthesized from several AB 2 monomers by a 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The compound 3,5‐bis(propargyloxy)benzyl azide was polymerized thermally at room temperature leading to 1,4‐ and 1,5‐disubstituted poly([1,2,3]‐triazole) and catalytically…

Bose-condensation of mass-less quasiparticles (photons) can be easily achieved at the room temperature in lasers. On the other hand, condensation of bosons having a non-zero mass requires usually ultra-low temperatures. Recently, it has been shown that polaritons, which are half-light-half-matter quasi-particles, may…

A vortex lattice ratchet effect has been investigated in Nb films grown on arrays of nanometric Ni triangles, which induce periodic asymmetric pinning potentials. The vortex lattice motion yields a net dc-voltage when an ac driving current is applied to the sample and the vortex lattice moves through the field of asym…
