Here we show that hierarchical structures based on one-dimensional filaments such as carbon nanotubes lead to superior thermal management networks, capable of effectively mitigating high-density ultrasmall nanoscale heat sources through volumetric heat sinks at micrometer and larger scales. The figure of merit of heat…

Cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots were prepared in high-temperature water via a rapid hot-injection method intended to mimic conventional synthesis in organic solvents. The nanocrystals were smaller than those previously produced hydrothermally under nonisothermal conditions when using the same process parameters.…

A simple method was developed for the reversible and selective modification of metallic and large diameter semiconducting SWCNTs in [BMIM]PF(6) ionic liquids by adding certain anion surfactants. The electronic band structure of SWCNTs can be controlled and tuned over a range by varying the surfactants used and their c…

The low-temperature behavior of proteins under high pressure is not as extensively investigated as that at ambient pressure. In this paper, we study the dynamics of a hydrated protein under moderately high pressures at low temperatures using the quasielastic neutron scattering method. We show that when applying pressu…

Utilization of waste tire rubber in the manufacture of particleboard was investigated, using the same method as that used in the wood-based panel industry. The manufacturing parameters were: a specific gravity of 0.65 and waste tire rubber content (10/90, 20/80, and 30/70 by wt% of waste tire rubber/wood particle). Tw…

The sign-reversing fully gapped superconducting state, which is expected to be realized in oxypnictide superconductors, can be prominently affected by nonmagnetic impurities due to the interband scattering of Cooper pairs. We study this problem based on the isotropic two-band BCS model: in oxypnictide superconductors,…

The thermal decomposition of 5-aminotetrazole was studied theoretically using the G3 multilevel procedure and DFT B3LYP technique. The unimolecular primary decomposition reactions of the three most stable isomers of 5-ATZ were studied in the gas phase and in the melt using a simplified model of the latter. The influen…

Abstract With the ever increasing demand for fuel savings on vehicles, there is a strong push to replace metal with polymeric + fiber (carbon/glass) composites. However, the replacement of metal with polymeric composites can lead to additional fire risk. Our study focused on glass fiber reinforced polymer composites m…

Hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon surfactants show highly nonideal mixing that under some conditions results in demixing of the two types of surfactants into distinct populations of fluorocarbon-rich and hydrocarbon-rich aggregates. This also occurs in materials prepared by cooperative assembly of hydrolyzed tetraethoxysil…

Axial deformation of boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) induced by an external electric field is studied by density functional theory. It is found that the field-induced deformation can reach 1% at a field strength of around 10 V nm −1 due to both the converse piezoelectric effect and the electrostrictive effect. This de…
