The effect of polymeric additives on molecular gelation was explored using poly(acrylic acid) and pyridine-based gelators. A significant reduction in the critical gel concentration (cgc) and an increase in gel strength were observed when the polymer was present during gel formation. Detailed studies revealed that the…

In this letter, we characterize the internal dissipation of coated micro-cantilevers through their mechanical thermal noise. Using a home-made interferometric setup, we achieve a resolution down to 1E-14m/rtHz in the measurement of their deflection. With the use of the fluctuation dissipation theorem and of the Kramer…

Strongly electron-deficient (n-type) main-chain π-conjugated polymers are commonly prepared via well-established step-growth polycondensation protocols which enable limited control over polymerization. Here we demonstrate that activated Zn and electron-deficient brominated thiophene-naphthalene diimide oligomers form…

We utilize the optical transitions of Yb$^{2+}$ excited by an ultraviolet optical parametric amplifier to probe electron trap liberation in MgF$_{2}$ via the observation of a photoluminescence enhancement effect induced by a subsequent infrared pulse from a free-electron laser. The temperature dependence of the enhanc…

Femtosecond optical pump-probe technique is used to study charge carrier dynamics in few-layer MoS2 samples fabricated by mechanical exfoliation. An ultrafast pump pulse excites carriers and differential reflection of a probe pulse tuned to an excitonic resonance is detected. We find that the spectrum of the different…

Paper aging and conservation are matters of concern to those responsible for archives and library collections. Wood-derived fibers are mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, but paper composition can also include additives, such as starch, minerals, and synthetic polymers. Therefore, paper is a mult…

The separation of chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene from the metallic catalyst it is grown on, followed by a subsequent transfer to a dielectric substrate, is currently the adopted method for device fabrication. Most transfer techniques use a chemical etching method to dissolve the metal catalysts, thus imposing…

One of the ways for the production of ceramic materials with a fine-grained structure is the use of nanopowders. Different methods are used for the production of nanopowders. One of them is the method of plasmachemical synthesis. Different nanopowders of refractory materials can be obtained by this method. The prepara…

Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber (SBR) is a synthetic rubber copolymer used to fabricate several products. This study aims to demonstrate the use of SBR as feedstock for carbon nanomaterials (nanofibers and nanotubes) growth, and therefore to establish a novel process for destination of waste products containing SBR. A three…

Abstract In connection with our previous research on μ-oxo-bridged metal phthalocyanine dimers, we have synthesized μ-oxo-bridged subphthalocyanine dimers (μ-oxo subpc dimers) with various peripheral substituents and studied their properties. Compared to the corresponding subpc monomer, the Q-band absorption of subpc…

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to improve cardiac electrophysiology when administered in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. However, the electrophysiological phenotype of MSCs in situ is not clear. We hypothesize that MSCs delivered intramyocardially to cryoinjured myocardium can engraft, but w…

The crystallization of nanosized amorphous silicon nitride powder is one of the methods to produce sub‐micrometer/nanosized α‐ Si 3 N 4 powder. The application of this method is still limited by the long crystallization time, low output, and high cost. This article invents a new crystallization method of amorphous sil…

Vitrification is currently considered to be an effective method for immobilization of radioactive waste. It is based on the enclosing of harmful elements in the structure of the glass. This work presents the results of studies on the thermal properties of glasses from P2O5–Al2O3–Na2O and P2O5–Al2O3–Fe2O3–Na2O systems…

Many heavy fermion materials are known to crossover from the Kondo lattice regime to the mixed-valent regime or vice-versa as a function of pressure or doping. We study this crossover theoretically by employing the periodic Anderson model within the framework of the dynamical mean field theory. Changes occurring in th…

When branching is suppressed, rapid cracks undergo a dynamic instability from a straight to an oscillatory path at a critical velocity $v_c$. In a systematic experimental study using a wide range of different brittle materials, we first show how the opening profiles of straight cracks scale with the size $\ell_{nl}$ o…
