We show that the conventional consideration of the electron-field emission from nanocarbons cannot explain the experimentally observed results. We suggest a mechanism of the field emission occurrence from nanocarbons that can solve the existing puzzles. This mechanism implies two successive processes: (1) Tunneling th…

The sulfonation of polyaniline (PANI) films by nucleophilic addition of sulfite ion has been controlled through the polymer oxidation state under electrochemical control. The process was monitored by in situ electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), and the polymer oxidation was accomplished by electrode pot…

The reactivity of the sterically hindered organofluorosilane 2,6-Mes 2 C 6 H 3 -SiF 3 ( 1 ) (Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) under hydrolytic conditions differs substantially from that of the corresponding organo chlorosilane. During the hydrolysis of 1 the combination of thermodynamic (increased Si−F bond strengths comp…

Abstract In this study, the heat‐shrinkage property in polymer was induced by first compounding low‐density polyethylene/poly(ethylene vinyl acetate) (LDPE/EVA) blends with various amounts of peroxide in a twin‐screw extruder at about 130°C. The resulting granules were molded to shape and chemically crosslinked by com…

Abstract The pharmaceutical industry is moving towards a profitability gap between increasing costs and decreasing prices. Finally, management has understood that mergers and acquisitions, high throughput screening, and biotechnology alone will not save the companies' earnings. Therefore, classical approaches like the…

Thin films of Ba(Zr0.15Ti0.85)O3 were crystallized in situ at several different oxygen background pressures and temperatures. The optimal temperature and pressure for obtaining films with smooth surface morphology and good electrical properties was found to be 675 °C and 300 mTorr, respectively. Films grown at this te…

We present an experimental study of the magnetic microstructure in the nanocrystalline hard magnet Tb. Field-dependent small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data are analyzed quantitatively in terms of the correlation function of the spin misalignment. We find that up to applied fields of several tesla the magnetizati…

Material selection in real‐world problems normally entails considering several, usually conflicting, design criteria/objectives. Thus, a designer has to strike a balance between these objectives to find the best compromise solution for the particular application. A novel design support tool, the exchange constant char…
