Published data on the properties of a novel nanomaterial viz., detonation synthesis ultradispersed diamonds (UDD), are summarised and systematised for the first time. Certain properties of UDD synthesised under different conditions are compared. Particular attention is drawn to substantiation of the cluster model of U…
This paper describes the use of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to determine the characteristics of functional groups that give surfaces the ability to resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins from solution. Mixed SAMs presenting different functional groups were p…
Abstract The thermomechanical analysis is applied to characterize the shrinking process of bovine chrome leather. The interpretation of the curves obtained is performed and a value of glass transition temperature is estimated. The influence of the sampling zone on the thermomechanical parameters is discussed. The infl…
This article reviews and analyzes the results obtained by studying isotope effects and kinetics of isotope exchange in systems involving heavy hydrogen isotopes and intermetallic compound hydrides for the last 20 years. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of possibilities to realize the separation process in…
The interface construction of tilt growth that is sometimes observed for epilayer growth on a lattice mismatched substrate is modeled on the basis that tilt relieves misfit strain in the epilayer. In this model off-axis misfit accommodation is assumed to be due to only tilt dislocations or tilt dislocations combined w…
We demonstrate an in situ selective adsorption of Si nanoparticles fabricated by laser ablation on a functionalized self-assembled monolayer (SAM). Si nanoparticles adsorbed on –CH3 terminated a SAM while Si particles did not adsorb on –NH2, –F, –OH, and –COOH, terminated SAMs. The end group of a SAM solely determines…
Abstract Clay was modified by using a polymeric coating agent, a silicane coupling agent, and a titanate coupling agent together with the antioxidant for preparing the clay–rubber masterbatch. After the thermooxidative, photooxidative, and ozone aging, the properties of the masterbatch were also determined. The result…
The application of Nitinol shape memory alloys (SMA) in steel connections is evaluated using connections incorporating SMA tendons. Shape memory alloys are a class of alloys that exhibit thermo-mechanical characteristics that are ideally suited for seismic applications. They have the ability to dissipate significant e…
Abstract The influence of a natural terpene resin, poly(α‐pinene) (PαP), on the nonisothermal crystallization process of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was investigated. The solidification process strongly depends on cooling rate, composition, and miscibility of the system. For the blends containing PαP up to 30 wt %,…
Various transport measurements are performed to assess the alloying and size effects in sub-100 nm Bi1−xSbx (0⩽x⩽0.15) nanowires. Temperature-dependent resistance measurements exhibit non-monotonic trends as x increases, and a theoretical model is presented to explain the features which are related to the unusual band…
We present results of reactively sputtered silver oxide thin films as a substrate material for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Herein, we show that deposited layers develop an increasingly strong SERS activity upon photoactivation at 488 nm. A benzoic acid/2-propanol solution was used to demonstrate that t…
Large area aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays have been successfully synthesized from C2H2 and H2 mixture by rf plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (without hot filament) on iron-coated silicon substrates. H2 plasma (not H2 gas) was confirmed to play the role of reducing iron oxide to metallic iron and promoti…
A photoemission study of the interface between spin-cast films of a conducting polymer blend consisting of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) and glycerol as an additive, and vacuum-evaporated hole transport layers (HTL) of 4,4′-bis(carbazol-9-yl)biphenyl, N,N′-diphenyl-N,N′-bis(1…
Abstract Diethyl N , N ‐diethanolaminomethylphosphate could react with isocyanate because it contained hydroxy group. This was confirmed by FTIR spectrum. It did not produce any effect on the foam structure of rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF). SEM, IR spectrum, and thermal analysis were used for investigation of the phy…
When solving heat-conduction problems with periodic temperature perturbations, the thermal conductivity is assumed to remain frequency independent. We, however, show by using the molecular dynamics technique and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem a decrease of the effective thermal conductivity of 2 orders of magnitu…
Two similar full scale seismic isolation SMA prototype devices, with 600 KN maximum force and 200 KN supplemental recentering force were the final product of the MANSIDE (Memory Alloys for New Seismic Isolation DEvices) project funded by the European Commission. Exploiting the superelastic behaviour of NiTi wires, the…
Nanocrystalline tin dioxide (SnO2) thin films of different thicknesses were fabricated on the (0001) surface of α-Al2O3 (sapphire) using femtosecond pulsed laser deposition. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that the microstructure of the films strongly depends on the film…
We demonstrate the epitaxial growth of hexagonal Pr2O3(001) on Si(111), with x-ray ω-scan full width at half maximum values as low as 0.06°, which is comparable with Si substrates. We find that a phase transition takes place during the anneal of the as-grown films in N2 below the growth temperature. The annealed films…
Ferroelectric materials with Bi-layered structure such as SrBi2Ta2O9 and SrBi2Nb2O9 are now intensively investigated in view of their applications in nonvolatile computer memories and high-temperature piezoelectric transducers. When Sr2+ is substituted with Ba2+, a significant disorder is induced and the material exhi…
La(Fe x Si 1−x ) 13 compounds exhibit an itinerant-electron metamagnetic (IEM) transition above Curie temperature TC. The IEM transition in the compound with x=0.88 is accompanied by a giant volume change. From a practical viewpoint, TC was controlled by hydrogen absorption in order to obtain such a giant volume magne…
