In the presence of a magnetic field applied perpendicular to a thin sample layer, a suspension of magnetic colloidal particles (ferrofluid) can form spatially modulated phases with a characteristic length determined by the competition between dipolar forces and short-range forces opposing density variations. We introd…
The surface discharge of electrified dielectrics at high humidity is considered. The percolative nature of charge transport in electrets is established. Particular attention is given to the phenomena of adsorption and nucleation of electrically conducting phase in the cause of percolation cluster growth on electrified…
We present a nonlocal Monte Carlo algorithm with particle swaps that greatly accelerates thermalization of soft sphere binary mixtures in the glassy region. Our first results show that thermalization of systems of hundreds of particles is achievable, and find behavior compatible with a thermodynamic glass transition.
Magnetically anisotropic Sm 1- x Gd x Co 5 (0⩽ x ⩽0.5) ribbons have been prepared by single-roller melt spinning at a low wheel speed of 5 m s -1 . X-ray diffraction results show that the substitution of Gd for Sm enhances the relative intensity of the diffraction peak of index (200) and favours the formation of a str…
Abstract A novel computational technique to generate close‐to‐equilibrium crosslinked polymeric systems is proposed. Compared to the current state‐of‐the‐art equilibration methods, the new technique appears to be faster by several orders of magnitude. The main advantage of the technique is that one can circumvent the…
The unexpectedly long time scale for development of melt adhesion strength in blown films of molecularly heterogeneous Ziegler−Natta ethylene copolymers previously led to speculation on the existence of a surface layer enriched in low molecular weight, highly branched fractions. In the present study the hypothesis was…
Spherical micron particles of crystalline titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) were synthesized by in-flight oxidation of titanium carbide (TiC) micron powders (mean diameter: 28 μm) in argon−oxygen thermal plasma. The extent of oxidation of TiC powders increases with the flow rate of oxygen in the plasma gases (Ar + O 2 ), and…
Abstract The dumbbell‐like/egglike microspheres of poly(4‐vinylpyridine/ n ‐butyl acrylate)/polystyrene [P(4VP/nBA)/PS] were prepared by soap‐free seed emulsion polymerization. The effects of various polymerization parameters, such as the amount of ethyl acetate (EA) in the continuous phase, swelling time, degree of c…
Abstract In this study, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)‐coated talc was produced by the in situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate on the talc surface. The polymerization reaction was performed by both batch and semicontinuous emulsion processes. The polymerization kinetics, particle size and distribution, grafting…

Vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ) thin films have been produced by pulsed laser deposition. AFM, Raman, optical and electrical measurements have been made on the films in order to understand the growth mechanism of laser ablated V 2 O 5 thin films. The investigations revealed the growth of stoichiometric and high-quality…
Abstract A soluble polyimide prepared from 7,7′‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)‐4,4,4′,4′‐tetramethyl‐2,2′‐spirobichroman and 4,4′‐hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthalic anhydride was mixed with organo‐modified montmorillonite or synthetic mica in N,N ‐dimethylacetamide. The content of the clay minerals was 1, 2, and 4 wt %, respecti…
We use molecular dynamics to study the ordering of a nematic liquid crystal around a spherical particle or droplet. Homeotropic boundary conditions and strong anchoring create a hedgehog (radial point defect) director configuration on the particle surface and in its vicinity; this topological defect is canceled by nea…
Abstract The mechanical behavior of semicrystalline Nylon 11 was studied at strain rates between 10 −3 and 8800 s −1 . X‐ray diffraction and DSC were employed to examine the crystal structure and the crystallinity content. The as‐received material comprised a mixed structure of a predominately triclinic (α) form. DSC…
We present a study on the origin of twinning and antiphase domains and their relationship to charge ordering in ${\mathrm{La}}_{0.33}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{0.67}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3}.$ The evolution of these orientational and charge-ordered domains is attributed to the reduction of the crystal symmetry due to the cubic to orthor…
Antifoam substances are used in various technologies and commercial products to prevent the formation of undesirable foam. A typical problem in their application is that an antifoam that is rather active in a given surfactant solution might be very inefficient for other foaming media at comparable conditions. The reas…
The solvothermal synthesis of the layered compound Mn 2 Sb 2 S 5 ·DAP (DAP = 1,3-diaminopropane) has been studied using in situ energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction. The results clearly demonstrate that the induction time strongly depends on the reaction temperature. At lower temperatures two crystalline intermediates…
A mixed quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) model is used for investigating the nature of hydrogen adsorption in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). For the QM part the B3LYP functional was used while for the MM we employ the universal force field (UFF). Our model includes up to 64 carbon and 32 hydrogen…
Abstract Adriamycin (ADR) was selected as a model drug to evaluate the potential applications of polylactide/poly(ethylene glycol)/polylactide (PLA/PEG/PLA) micelles as drug carriers in parenteral delivery systems. The PLA/PEG/PLA triblock copolymer micelles were characterized by dynamic light scattering and transmiss…
