Abstract Butadiene‐rubber toughened styrene polymers, such as acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene (ABS) copolymer and high impact polystyrene (HIPS), are noncharring polymers. They are generally blended with polycarbonate (PC) or polyphenyleneether (PPE), which are char forming polymers, to improve char forming ability fo…

Computer simulation of ferrielectric domain walls in ferroelastic CaTiO3 demonstrate that twin walls possess almost the same compressibility as the bulk. The Ti–Ti repetition length inside the wall is approximately 0.2% greater than the equivalent lattice parameter of the bulk. A slight reduction in the uniaxial compr…

Abstract A mixture of epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), ( R )‐12‐hydroxystrearic acid (HSA) and a photoinitiator for cationic polymerization in the ESO/HSA weight ratio 10/1 was heated to 100 °C and gradually cooled to room temperature to give bio‐based gelatinous material. The photo‐curing of the gel afforded a nanocompo…

The new area of nematic colloidal systems (or nematic emulsions) has been greatly guided by the fruitful analogy between the colloidal nematostatics and electrostatics. The elastic charge density representation of the colloidal nematostatics [V. M. Pergamenshchik and V. O. Uzunova, Eur. Phys. J. E 23, 161 (2007); Phys…

The fine structure of oxygen-K electron energy-loss spectra (EELS) of transition-metal oxides is known to correlate with nominal oxidation states (NOSs) that are often interpreted as charge states. Here we report calculations of O-K EELS in ${\text{La}}_{x}{\text{Ca}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{MnO}}_{3}$ that agree wit…

Giardia lamblia fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA) is a member of the class II zinc-dependent aldolase family that catalyzes the cleavage of d-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) into dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). In addition to the active site zinc, the catalytic apparat…

We have successfully fabricated low-loss silicon-on-oxidized-porous-silicon (SOPS) strip waveguides with high-index contrast using focused proton-beam irradiation and electrochemical etching. Smooth surface quality with rms roughness of 3.1 nm is achieved for a fluence of 1x10(15)/cm(2) after postoxidation treatment.…

We discuss orientational order in two dimensions in the context of systems with competing isotropic interactions at different scales. We consider an extension of the Brazovskii model for stripe phases including explicitly quartic terms with nematic symmetry in the energy. We show that leading fluctuations of the mean-…

We synthesized a series of n -octadecylsiloxanes having different empirical formulas, that is, R-SiO 3/2 (R = C 18 H 37 ), R-(CH 3 )SiO 2/2, and R-(CH 3 ) 2 SiO 1/2 . We found that the compound with the formula R-SiO 3/2 shows the highest PL emission with a quantum yield of 19 ± 0.5%, whereas the compound with the for…

Based on dislocation theory, we investigate the mechanism of strain rate effect. Strain rate effect and dislocation motion are bridged by Orowan's relationship, and the stress dependence of dislocation velocity is considered as the dynamics relationship of dislocation motion. The mechanism of strain rate effect is the…

The red emission of the Pr3+ ions was very sensitive to the oxygen vacancies in the host of 300-nm-thick SrTiO3 films. Comparing with the air-annealed films, a significant enhancement of up to 400% was observed in the red photoluminescence intensity for the vacuum-annealed samples, and the valence state of the Pr ions…
