ABSTRACT In the current paper, a comparative study on the direct solid state polycondensation (DSSP) reaction of different terephthalate based semi‐aromatic salts ( X T salts, X = 4–18) in the TGA micro‐reactor is reported. High purity X T salts were prepared in solution and were used as starting materials for DSSP. T…

We demonstrate tunable mid-infrared (MIR) beam steering devices based on multilayer graphene-dielectric metamaterials. The effective refractive index of such metamaterials can be manipulated by changing the chemical potential of each graphene layer. This can arbitrarily tailor the spatial distribution of the phase of…

Using density-functional theory calculations, we identify a stable two-dimensional carbonitride polymorph which resembles the core of phthalocyanine molecules. This so-called phthalo-carbonitride is found to be the lowest-energy polymer made of tetracyanoethylene molecules. It is a two-dimensional metal in its pristin…

ABSTRACT Self‐healing materials exhibit the ability to repair and to recover their functionality upon damage. Here, we report on an investigation into preparation and characterization of shape memory assisted self‐healing coatings. We built on past work in which poly( ε ‐caprolactone) electrospun fibers were infiltrat…

Abstract The speciation of a particular element in any given matrix is a prerequisite to understanding its solubility and leaching properties. In this context, speciation of uranium in lanthanum zirconate pyrochlore (La 2 Zr 2 O 7 = LZO), prepared by a low‐temperature combustion route, was carried out using a simple p…

We conduct first-principles calculations to study oxygen diffusion on the graphene surface as a function of temperature up to 3000 K. The minimum energy migration path and the corresponding activation energy are determined by the nudged elastic band method with explicit inclusion of thermal electronic excitations. Bel…

As a compelling case of sensitive structure–property relationship, an odd–even effect refers to the alternating trend of physical or chemical properties on odd/even number of repeating structural units. In crystalline or semicrystalline materials, such odd–even effects emerge as manifestations of differences in the pe…
