The dielectric spectra for the series poly(dimethyl itaconate) to poly(di- n -octyl itaconate) have been measured and are discussed within the context of a main-chain−side-chain nanomorphology. The major dielectric event is associated with the calorimetric glass transition. In contrast to methacrylate family of polyme…

We have analyzed the structure and composition of the first layer of an ${\text{Al}}_{72}{\text{Co}}_{16}{\text{Ni}}_{12}$ tenfold surface by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS), and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). High-resolution STM images reveal local structures that h…

Abstract Soy protein concentrate, a potential alternative of petrochemical polymers, has been crosslinked with furfural at 0.5,1, 2.5, 5, and 7.5% (w/w). The materials were then compression‐molded into plastic tensile bars and tested for tensile and yield strength, percentage elongation, and water absorption. The infr…

Concurrent sonolysis of iron pentacarbonyl and poly(ethylene glycol)-400 (PEG-400) in hexadecane solvent proceeds via zero-order kinetics and results in Fe nanoparticles encapsulated in PEG-400 (Fe-PEG). The transmission electron microscopy images show Fe-PEG consisting of <3 nm Fe particles that are evenly dispersed…

Exceptional resistance to sulfur poisoning of the Na–Y zeolite arises from the localization of adsorbed sulfur dioxide on the zeolite in the presence of water. The work shows that Rietveld refinement of guest molecules is a powerful method to determine positions and states of different molecules co-adsorbed on a zeoli…

Abstract The stacked lamellar morphology commonly found in extruded semicrystalline materials has a strong influence on the flow direction, with respect to the loading direction, and on the stability and localization phenomena in tensile experiments. A multiscale numerical model was used to simulate the effect on the…

Dimers of flat (EDO-TTF)+ molecules separated by bent neutral EDO-TTF (ethylenedioxytetrathiafulvalene) molecules are found in the insulator phase of (EDO-TTF)2PF6, but not in that of the metallic phase. The cooperativity of Peierls distortion, charge ordering, and anion ordering in this metal–insulator transition can…

Abstract The formation of Ag clusters on silica colloidal nanoparticles was achieved by photoreduction of silver ions with visible laser irradiation. A mechanism of this process was proposed by observing the plasmon resonance bands of the silver clusters in UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. These Ag/SiO 2 colloids a…
