Abstract Electrospinning is a process that employs a high static electrical potential to produce polymeric fibers of nanoscale diameter. The process has been utilized to achieve color change by electrospinning black polymer solutions to produce white fiber mats. When subsequently heated, the electrospun mats undergo a…

Abstract Syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) sheets of various crystallinities were subjected to accelerated ultraviolet (UV) aging. The chemical modification of the polymer was followed by FTIR spectroscopy measuring the carbonyl index in transmittance (film) and diffuse reflectance (powder) modes. Both the tensile stre…

Isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), SWNT bundles, and ropes (or strands) show a structural self-similar characteristic. By calculating the Hausdorff dimension, it was found that their self-similar organization leads to surface fractality and the value of the surface dimension ${(D}_{s})$ depends on self-s…

Dielectric relaxation in disordered dielectric mixtures is presented by emphasizing the interfacial polarization. The obtained results coincide with and cause confusion with those of the low frequency dispersion behaviour. The considered systems are composed of two phases on two-dimensional square and triangular topol…

We demonstrate a tunable-focus microlens array using polymer network liquid crystals (PNLCs). PNLCs were prepared by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure through a patterned photomask. The UV-curable monomer in each of the exposed spots forms an inhomogeneous centro-symmetrical polymer network that functions as a lens when…

Abstract In this work, the shear‐induced crystalline layers of isotactic polypropylene (i‐PP), developed in a slit die, were characterized by different techniques. Rheological studies made in a strain‐controlled rheometer, at different crystallization temperatures, T c , allowed us to observe that the induction time f…

Coherently-grown heteroepitaxial oxide thin films on single crystal substrates are always under elastic strain. This strain causes changes in the physical properties of thin films. We have studied the behavior of anisotropic magnetic properties of SrRuO 3 films grown directly on SrTiO 3 and on Ba 1- x Sr x TiO 3 /BaTi…
