A two-phase model is developed to simulate the decomposition and spatial phase separation (microstructure evolution) during solidification of hypermonotectic alloys. The minority liquid phase, decomposing in morphology of droplets from the parent melt, is treated as the second phase, L 2 , while the parent melt, inclu…

Abstract The flame‐retardant effect of 2‐methyl‐1,2‐oxaphospholan‐5‐one 2‐oxide (OP) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) in poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) was studied by the limiting oxygen index and the UL94 test. A self‐extinguishing formulation (V‐0 rating) was achieved by the addition of 15 wt% APP and 10 wt% OP.…

Nanoscale composites of polyaniline (PANI) and vanadium oxide (V 2 O 5 ) were assembled via the electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) technique, with a thickness per bilayer of 2.5 nm. Interactions between PANI and V 2 O 5 are maximized in comparison to the usual xerogel films due to the nanostructured nature of the LBL…

Abstract Acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) hybrid nanocomposites with organoclays were prepared by melt mixing, and their properties were compared with those of conventional rubber compounds filled with carbon black and silica. Based on X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, the NBR nanocomposites…

The population of valence-band electronic states of fullerene peapods (C 60 @SWCNT and C 70 @SWCNT) was tuned electrochemically in 0.2 M LiClO 4 + acetonitrile. Electrochemistry of peapods is dominated by their capacitive charging without distinct faradaic processes. In situ vis-NIR spectra of C 60 /C 70 peapods are s…

Abstract Drying of natural rubber (NR) crumb (grade TSR10) requires high temperatures (100–120 °C). In order to determine the changes in bulk viscosity during the drying process, ageing kinetics at 120 °C were studied on model NR samples. During the process, changes in Mooney viscosity and weight‐average molar mass (…

We report on small-angle neutron scattering measurements obtained in situ on three-dimensional aqueous foams stabilized by sodium dodecyl sulfate. Isotropic as well as anisotropic scattering data have been collected for two kinds of foams: wet foams in the steady-state regime of constant gas bubbling and dry foams und…

Although single crystal X-ray diffraction is a powerful technique for the determination of crystal and molecular structures, many solids can be prepared only as microcrystalline powders and therefore cannot be studied by single crystal diffraction techniques. For such materials, it is necessary to tackle structure det…

Abstract Filler dispersion is a critical factor in determining the properties of filled rubber composites. Silica has a high density of silanol groups on the surface, which lead to strong filler–filler interactions and a poor filler dispersions. A cure accelerator, N‐tert ‐butyl‐2‐benzothiazole sulfenamide (TBBS), was…

The molecular dynamics simulation technique is used to study a stress-induced new grain formation mechanism at the crack tip of a nanocrystalline α-iron sample at temperatures ranging from 100 to 600 K. The stress-induced formation of new bcc grains, created inside existing grains, is found to occur through a metastab…

In situ structural evolution from Cu(OH) 2 nanobelts to copper nanowires has been studied by transmission electron microscopy in a vacuum of 3 × 10 -8 Torr. The decomposition follows the sequence of Cu(OH) 2 → CuO → Cu 2 O → Cu. The decomposition from Cu(OH) 2 to CuO is attributed to electron beam radiation damage. Th…

It is shown that ac resistometry can serve as an effective tool for the detection of phase transitions, such as spin reorientation or premartensitic phase transitions, which generally are not disclosed by dc resistivity measurement. Measurement of temperature dependence of impedance, $Z(T)$, allows one to unmask the a…
