The equilibrium and nonequilibrium segmental dynamics of bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC) have been investigated near the glass transition by studying the rotational and translational diffusion of probe molecules in the polymer matrix. The temperature dependence of equilibrium dynamics was studied from 149 to 124 °C. We…

Jute yarns were pretreated by alkali (5% NaOH) and were grafted with two types of monomer such as 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)‐propylmethacrylate (silane) and acrylamide (AA) under ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The monomer concentrations were 30% in Methanol (MeOH) and irradiation times were 30 min and 60 min for silane and AA,…

Short-time retention loss behaviors were investigated for fatigued Pt/PbZr0.4Ti0.6O3/Pt capacitors. In the short-time regime of t<1 s, fatigued capacitors showed a significant loss in retained polarization, which could be well described by a power-law function. This behavior was interpreted in terms of a superp…

We have synthesized a-axis-oriented epitaxial thin films of layered vanadate Sr2−xLaxVO4 on LaSrAlO4 (100) substrates using a pulsed-laser deposition technique. Epitaxial interface energy stabilizes compounds from V4+ (x=0) to V3+ (x=1), for which none of bulk single crystal has been synthesized. The transport propert…

Infrared (IR) spectra of cellulose, cellulose carbamide, cyanoethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, and acetylated cyanoethyl cellulose from 400 to 4000 cm−1 were studied. All cellulose derivatives have lower crystallinity index than cellulose except cellulose carbamide, which is attributed to hydrogen bond strength. Di…

[structure: see text] Palladium-catalyzed coupling of 1,2-bis(4-bromophenyl)-3,4,5,6-tetraphenylbenzene and the corresponding hexaphenylbenzene bis(boronic acid) gave a mixture of linear and cyclic oligomers of hexaphenylbenzene. An X-ray crystal structure of the tetrameric oligomer showed it to be the polyphenylene m…

We consider a binary mixture of hard colloidal spheres and nonadsorbing polymer coils. The polymers are regarded as effective spheres that interact with one another via a repulsive step-function pair potential and with colloids solely via excluded volume. The system is treated with a geometry-based density functional…

The photoalignment of alternate layer-by-layer (LBL) deposited water-soluble azobenzene dye, direct red 80 (DR80), and polycations have been investigated. The ultrathin films were probed by polarized irradiation, UV−vis spectroscopy, and angle-dependent optical retardation measurements using a hybrid liquid crystal (L…

The Stokes–Einstein (SE) relation is a form of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT), and relates the diffusion coefficient of colloidal particles to the viscosity via the thermal energy kBT. We study the diffusion coefficient and viscosity of concentrated hard-sphere colloidal model systems in the frequency domai…

We describe the syntheses and electrochemical properties of four oligothiophene derivatives endowed with the tricyanovinyl (TCV) group, which facilitates reduction and promotes π-stacking, suggesting these materials may be suitable for n-type, and possibly ambipolar, transport. Compound 1 crystallizes in the noncentro…
