Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the phase behavior of linear multiblock copolymers with two types of monomers, A and B, where the length of the polymer blocks NA and NB (NA = NB = N), the number of the blocks nA and nB (nA = nB = n), and the solvent quality varies. The fraction f of A-type monomers is…

The wall thickness strain and cross-section ovality of AM30 magnesium alloy tube after bending using a rotary draw bender were tested. Then the deformation mechanisms in the tube wall at different strain position were investigated. The results suggest that the extrados of the bent tube, which is thinning under tension…

Sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) has widely been used as an insulator in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) applications. But due to the fact that it is a greenhouse gas, many researchers have been trying to find alternative solutions for it. Furthermore, SF 6 produces highly toxic and corrosive substances when it is subjecte…

The electronic ferroelectric lutetium ferrite (LuFe(2)O(4)) was studied by x-ray diffraction as a function of pressure. Pressure is shown to induce an irreversible rhombohedral to orthorhombic transition leading to a supercell determined by the combination of electron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. This new config…
