Abstract A series of thermoplastic elastomers based on ethylene oxide‐poly(dimethylsiloxane)‐ethylene oxide (EO‐PDMS‐EO), as the soft segment, and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT), as the hard segment, were synthesized by catalyzed two‐step, melt transesterification reaction of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) with 1,4‐…
Abstract Ultrasonically assisted in situ emulsion polymerization was used to prepare electrically conducting copolymer poly(aniline‐co‐ p ‐phenylenediamine) [poly(Ani‐co‐ p PD)] and silica (SiO 2 ) nancomposites. This approach can solve problems in the dispersion and stabilization of SiO 2 nanoparticles in the copolym…
Bistability of twisted-bend and twisted configuration is found. It is based on the elastic and topological inequivalency of director orientation. Multiple states of minimum local energy exist, with appropriate boundary conditions. The effects of elastic constants, d/P ratio and pretilt angle are also investigated. Fas…
Abstract The mechanical properties and cold drawn‐induced micro and nanostructure of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)‐bentonite nanocomposites have been investigated. Molded sheets with 5 wt% concentration of bentonite and two processing additives were melt extruded and two‐roll‐milled processed. The flame retardant additive…
Stable, frequency upconverted lasing of semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots was demonstrated in silica microbeads under two-photon pumping conditions. Upon infrared excitation, the stimulated emission of the nanocrystal-doped microbeads exhibits sharp peaks at λ∼610 nm with narrow line widths of ≤1 nm. The lasing a…
Design and control of nanometer-scale electronic phase separation are demonstrated in high-quality manganite superlattices composed of a ferromagnetic metal and an antiferromagnetic insulator (see figure). Bicritical competition of these phases sensitively controls the magnetic and electronic properties of the superla…
Abstract Ferric pyrophosphate (FePP) was added to an ammonium polyphosphate (APP)—pentaerythritol (petol) intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system in polypropylene (PP) matrix, with subsequent investigation into the synergistic effect between FePP and the IFRs. Limited oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94 test and cone calorimet…
CuO-CeO(2) mixed oxide catalysts with 10, 15, and 20 mol % CuO content were prepared by the hard template method using KIT-6 silica as a template. The applied synthesis method yields solids with BET surface area in excess of 147 m(2)/g, highly porous nanocrystalline CeO(2) morphology and dispersion of CuO phase betwee…
Interfacial properties of the La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 films grown on SrTiO3 and SrTiO3:Nb, respectively, have been experimentally studied. An interface layer, ∼13 or ∼4.4 nm for the films on SrTiO3 or SrTiO3:Nb, with degenerated magnetic/conductive properties is found in the film. The most remarkable result is the significan…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A laboratory flow reactor study was utilized to determine the durability impact of alkali metal (Na and K) exposure on three Pt/Pd-based diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), two vanadium-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts, and two Cu/zeolite-based SCR catalysts. All…
The formation of polyaniline (PAni) nanoparticles on silica surfaces has been monitored in situ using evanescent wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (EW-CRDS). Aniline hydrochloride in aqueous solution at different concentrations was oxidatively polymerized using sodium persulfate. The process was found to involve the…
<div class="htmlview paragraph">A hybrid LNT+SCR system is used to control NOx from a light-duty diesel engine with in-cylinder regeneration controls. A diesel oxidation catalyst and diesel particulate filter are upstream of the LNT and SCR catalysts. Ultraviolet (UV) adsorption spectroscopy performed directly i…
In this work we use ab initio calculations to address the polar behavior of ZnO nanowires. Moving from a description based on Wannier functions, we employ a computational approach that allows one to express the polarization of a nanostructure in terms of local contributions. In particular, we discuss the changes in th…
A facile method has been developed for the fabrication of porous silicon carbide (SiC) by means of sintering a mixture of SiC powder and carbon pellets at a relatively lower temperature, that is, 1450 degrees C, in air. The pore density and the total pore volume of the resulting porous SiC could be tuned by changing t…
A novel strategy is described to study polymer dynamics by using a combination of dielectric spectroscopy and functionalized polymers. The first results are presented using various well-defined, chain-end-functionalized polystyrenes (PS) synthesized using a combination of modern anionic polymerization techniques and h…
Coadsorption of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) on the Cu(2)O(111) surface was studied using periodic density functional theory calculations. It is interesting to find that CO+NO on Cu(2)O(111) could react to form adsorbed NCO surface species. Coadsorption of CO and NO could give rise to the formation of a…
A new type of bolaamphiphile bearing bipyrimidine (bpym-8) has been designed and synthesized. The bipyrimidine moiety allows for metal-ligand coordination, thereby influencing the self-assembly of the bolaamphiphile. Before coordination, bpym-8 self-assembles in water to form spherical aggregates. An interesting findi…
In this work, the pitting corrosion resistance of welding duplex stainless steel 2205 was studied. Joints were made using the GMAW process with different fillers: duplex ER 2209 and two austenitic fillers (ER 316LSi and ER 308LSi). The microstructure obtained with the duplex ER 2209 filler is similar to the duplex 220…
We report results from fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of commercially available aliphatic hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyesters of two different architectures/sizes in the bulk, exploring dynamic mechanisms associated with their physical behavior as it has been described by pertinent experimenta…
We report a one-pot synthesis of silver nanoparticle-polymer composites (Ag-PNCs) in water by a novel finding involving the polycondensation of methoxybenzyl chlorides (MeO-BzCl) directly on Ag nanoparticle surfaces at room temperature, leading to highly soluble antimicrobial nanocomposites. The composites, which are…
