Abstract Surface wettability on anchorage‐dependent cells has an important role in cell growth rate. In our previous studies, we prepared a wettability gradient on polyethylene (PE) surfaces using corona discharge treatment from a knife‐type electrode whose power increased gradually along the sample length. The PE sur…
Oriented arrays of titania nanofibers have been fabricated by a simple and easily scalable method. Exposure to a 5 % H 2 /95 % N 2 gas mixture at 700 °C transforms dense, polycrystalline rutile (TiO 2 ) into arrays of single‐crystal nanofibers (15–50 nm diameter; see Figure, scale bar: 1 μm). The arrays could be used…
Abstract Composite film structures of common plastic polymers including polypropylene (PP) or poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) with whey protein isolate (WPI) coatings may be obtained by a casting method. Optical and surface properties of the resulting WPI‐coated plastic films, as affected by protein concentration and plast…
Patterned arrays of ceramics have been fabricated using electron‐beam lithography (EBL) and a metallopolymer resist. Highly ordered arrays of dots, bars (see scanning electron microscopy and time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry images in the Figure), and curved lines rich in Fe and Co are direct‐written on f…
Abstract Calcium carbonate‐filled syndiotactic poly(propylene) (CaCO 3 ‐filled s‐PP) was prepared in a self‐wiping, co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder. The effects of CaCO 3 of varying particle size (1.9, 2.8 and 10.5 μm), content (0–40 wt %), and type of surface modification (uncoated, stearic acid‐coated, and paraffin‐…
Abstract The novel flame retardant tris(3,5‐dimethyl‐4‐diphenyl phenoxy phosphate)isocyanurate (TDPI) was synthesized from the reaction of diphenyl chlorophosphate and tris(3,5‐dimethyl‐4‐hydroxybenzyl)isocyanurate. The compound was characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, mass s…
We study the properties of a solid-solid close-packed to body-centered tetragonal transition in a colloidal suspension via fluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy, in three dimensions and in real space. This structural transformation is driven by a subtle competition between gravitational and electric dipolar…
Abstract Ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM)/montmorillonite (MMT) composites were prepared through a melt process, and three kinds of surfactants with different ammonium cations were used to modify MMT and affect the morphology of the composites. The morphology of the composites depended on the alkyl ammonium salt…
A novel synthesis route for mesoporous silicates using anionic surfactants has been recently reported. It was advanced that materials synthesized using anionic surfactants and aminosilane groups as co-structure directing agents led to the synthesis of highly ordered, novel mesoporous materials with unprecedented struc…
Highly porous and nano‐structured electrodes for low‐temperature solid oxide fuel cells have been fabricated using a combustion chemical vapor deposition process. The composite electrodes consist of small grains, about 50 nm as shown in the Figure, have extremely high surface area, low interfacial polarization resista…
Abstract Natural rubber (NR), polyurethane rubber (PUR), and NR/PUR‐based nanocomposites were produced from the related latices by adding a pristine synthetic layered silicate (LS; sodium fluorohectorite) in 10 parts per hundred parts rubber (phr). The dispersion of the LS latices in the composite was studied by X‐ray…
The oscillating magnetic interlayer coupling of Fe over spacer layers consisting of Cu$_{x}$Pd$_{1-x}$ alloys is investigated by first principles density functional theory. The amplitude, period and phase of the coupling, as well as the disorder-induced decay, are analyzed in detail and the consistency to the Ruderman…
A survey is presented of various aspects of the interaction of charged particles with solids. In the framework of many-body perturbation theory, we study the nonlinear interaction of charged particles with a free gas of interacting electrons; in particular, nonlinear corrections to the stopping power are analyzed, and…
We have studied transport properties of Nb/Al/AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions with ultrathin aluminum oxide layers formed by (i) thermal oxidation and (ii) plasma oxidation, before and after rapid thermal post-annealing of the completed structures at temperatures up to 550 deg C. Post-annealing at temperatures above 300 deg…
Abstract The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) behavior of polymers having a high melting temperature, such as nylon, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyester, and polyacetal, was investigated. Carbon black and nickel powder were used to investigate the influence of their conductive fillers on PTC intensity. The polyme…
A scheme within density functional theory is proposed that provides a practical way to generalize to unrestricted geometries the method applied with some success to layered geometries [H. Rydberg, et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 126402 (2003)]. It includes van der Waals forces in a seamless fashion. By expansion to secon…
Hexagonal to cubic phase transformation is studied in focused ion beam assisted Ga+-implanted GaN nanowires. Optical photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence studies along with high-resolution transmission electron microscopic structural studies are performed to confirm the phase transformation. In one possibility, s…
The role of the tunneling mechanisms in metal-disordered layer-semiconductor structure under spin injection at the interface is investigated. The non-ideal metal-semiconductor structure as prepared by ionized cluster beam deposition is considered, and it is shown that the depletion region of the semiconductor can be t…
Composites consisting of individual, or bundles of single‐walled, exfoliated nanotubes in a highly viscous polymer matrix (see Figure) are described. The nanotubes and polymer are made compatible using surfactant molecules, hence avoiding the need for direct attraction between the nanotubes and the matrix. The resulti…
A simple process of solvent evaporation is shown to produce highly ordered arrays of cylindrical microdomains in block copolymers with long‐range lateral order (see Figure). Solvent evaporation in thin films is unidirectional, producing a self‐assembly directed normal to the film surface, akin to a zone refinement. Fu…
