Single-walled and multiple-walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with derivatized polyimide for the homogeneous dispersion of the nanotubes. For the functionalization, the nanotube-bound carboxylic acids derived from the surface defects were targeted for esterification reactions with pendant hydroxyl groups in t…

Poly(styrene- block- methyl methacrylate) thin films with cylindrical microdomains oriented normal to the surface were used as templates for nanoscopic silica structures. Silicon oxide was synthesized using vapor-phase and liquid-phase sol−gel reactions of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The vapor-phase reaction selectively…

An efficient strategy for synthesis of a wide range of homo- and heterometallic polynuclear complexes is proposed. The synthesis protocol consists of a two-step one-pot reaction. The first step is the in situ generation of carboxylate anions via oxidation of aromatic aldehydes by metal nitrates in air. The aldehydes a…

We present an extensive first-principles study of the pressure dependence of the formation enthalpies of all the know vacancy and self-interstitial configurations in silicon, in each charge state from -2 through +2. The neutral vacancy is found to have a formation volume that varies markedly with pressure, leading to…

The isothermal time dependences of the dielectric constant and the discharging current of barium stannate titanate ceramics after application or removal of a step field were investigated in both ferroelectric and paraelectric temperature regions. The experimental results exhibited a substantial difference for these tw…

This paper reports the results of a one-stage pyrolysis of liquid crystal wastes using thermal gravimetric analysis to characterize their treatment potentials. Liquid crystal can be decomposed at 413–596 K. The kinetic parameters for the liquid crystal pyrolysis were obtained from the TGA experiments which were based…

Abstract Compounds of electron‐beam‐irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyamide (PA) were produced by reactive extrusion. During extrusion, both a breakdown process of the PTFE agglomerates and a chemical reaction between PTFE and PA took place. The morphology of the compounds was characterized with differ…

Nematic ordering is studied in solutions of rodlike macroions in the presence of monovalent salt ions. The correlation free energy of electrostatic interactions is calculated within the framework of the Debye-Hückel approach. The phase diagram of the system is obtained. We have shown that the addition of salt destroys…

A new route for the highly convenient scalable production of carbon nanofibers on a sodium chloride support has been developed. Since the support is nontoxic and soluble in water, it can be easily removed without damage to the nanofibers and the environment. Nanofiber yields of up to 6500 wt % relative to the nickel c…

Circularly polarized optical poling was proposed and discovered for GaN nanocrystallites embedded in a silica xerogel matrix. The method consists of the creation of screw-like polarization of the medium during the interaction of two circularly polarized coherent bicolour beams. It was shown that doping of the GaN nano…
