Abstract The sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 )‐based hydrolysis system has received considerable interest as a potential hydrogen source for vehicular application. But its practical application was greatly restricted by the low hydrogen density and high material cost. In the present study, we reported that addition of alum…

We studied a suitable route to fabricate ferroelectric islands by focused-ion-beam milling in bismuth ferrite epitaxial thin films. Piezoresponse force microscopy shows that the damage induced by the milling process is extended to 1 µm away from the edge of the focused-ion-beam patterned islands. After a combined vacu…

Abstract Considering the influence of the microstructure, the Timoshenko beam model is revisited, invoking Mindlin's strain gradient strain energy density function. The equations of motion are derived and the bending equilibrium equations are discussed. The adopted strain energy density function includes new terms. Th…

We describe a simple layer-by-layer (LbL) technology and counterion exchange procedure to tune the liquid wettability of commercially available cotton fabrics. A polyelectrolyte multilayer is deposited on the fabric surface by the LbL technology, and counterion exchange is used to control the surface composition and t…

Abstract Epoxy‐based nanocomposites with 2, 5, and 7 wt% of montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay were prepared using high shear melt mixing technique. The microstructural features of the nanocomposites were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal and mechanical properties were measured using diff…

We study the conductance of a biased bilayer graphene flake with monolayer nanoribbon contacts. We find that the transmission through the bilayer ribbon strongly depends on the applied bias between the two layers and on the relative position of the monolayer contacts. Besides the opening of an energy gap on the metall…

Abstract Protein‐free natural rubber was prepared by incubation of natural rubber latex with urea and polar organic solvent in the presence of surfactant. Effect of the polar organic solvent on the removal of the proteins was investigated with respect to chemical affinity and concentration of the solvents. Under a sui…

A versatile method to selectively encapsulate water-insoluble molecules in the nanoshell of layer-by-layer capsules made exclusively of polysaccharides is described. This relies on the very high affinity of hydrophobic molecules for an alkylated hyaluronic acid used as a polyanionic partner of a chitosan derivative fo…

Substrate-induced spin-orbit splitting in graphene on Ni, Au and Ag(111) is examined on the basis of density-functional theory. The Rashba splitting of π bands along the ΓM direction of the graphene surface Brillouin zone in graphene on Ni(111) is found to be very small (a few millielectronvolts), consistent with the…

This paper presents a study of the magnetocaloric effect at the first-order magneto-elastic phase transition. The entropy change Δs at the transition temperature is given by the sum of the magnetic and the structural contributions. By using a thermodynamic model, it is shown that the sign and amplitude of the structur…
