Shape memory alloy (SMA)-reinforced composite patches not only provide non-intrusive and flexible structural damage repair like normal polymer composite patches, but are also able to enhance the repair efficiency by applying active closure stress. The active closure stress is produced by shape recovery of pre-stretche…
The isothermal crystallization of a semicrystalline poly(ethylene oxide- b -ethylene/butylene) diblock copolymer (PEO- b -PB h ) in uniform lamellar films has been investigated by X-ray reflectivity, optical microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Crystallization of the PEO block leads to an increase in the lamellar…
Abstract SSP, starting from very low molecular weight (MW) poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) precursors, is claimed to offer significant production cost advantages over conventional PET production. However, as the intrinsic viscosity (IV) of the PET precursor is reduced, there is a significant change in the crystalli…
Abstract Three different modes of rheological properties were measured on 11 and 13 wt % solutions of cellulose in N ‐methyl morpholine N ‐oxide (NMMO) monohydrate, in which concentration range lyocell fibers of much reduced fibrillation are preferably produced. The dynamic rheological responses revealed that the Cox–…
Abstract Well‐dispersed nickel nanoparticles in polystyrene were obtained by a sonochemical method. The properties of the as‐prepared nanocomposite materials were characterized by XRD, TEM, EDAX, TGA, DSC, and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The nickel particles were 5 nm in diameter and were very well disperse…
This paper is one of a series (see: Inorg. Chem. 1999, 38, 3609; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2000, 122, 632; Inorg. Chem. 2002, 41, 2364) exploring simple approaches for the estimation of lattice energies of ionic materials, avoiding elaborate computation. Knowledge of lattice energy can lead, via thermochemical cycles, to the…
A unique supercritical fluid inclusion-phase technique has been developed to embed silicon nanowires, with size monodispersed diameters, within the pores of mesoporous silica hosts. These nanocomposite materials displayed quite intense room temperature ultraviolet and visible photoluminescence (PL), and the emission w…
Following our previous papers regarding Pd/C and Pd/SiO 2 catalysts, the determination of the Pd/CO average chemisorption stoichiometry from experimental data has been extended to the Pd/alumina system. To this purpose, the Pd crystallite size determined by the well-established line-broadening (LB) method, using X-ray…
We have achieved a significant breakthrough in the synthesis of polyelectrolyte brushes of controlled thickness and density, which has been demonstrated by the synthesis of triblock copolymer brushes composed of cationic, neutral, and anionic segments.
Abstract Amorphous and crystallized poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) films are prepared by quenching and annealing at 140°C for 600 min, respectively, from the melt. Their hydrolysis is investigated at pH 2.0 in HCl and DL ‐lactic acid (DLLA) solutions (37°C) for up to 300 days, and the results are compared with those obtaine…
DFT calculations performed on Si_2H_6, Si_2F_6, Si_2Cl_6, and Si_2Br_6 are reported. The evolution of the energy, the chemical potential and the molecular hardness, as a function of torsion angle, is studied. Results at the DFT-B3LYP/6-311++G** level show that the molecules always favor the stable staggered conformati…
The low temperature magnetic properties of pyrochlore compound Dy2Ti2O7 in magnetic fields applied along the [111] direction are reported. Below 1 K, a clear plateau has been observed in the magnetization process in the field range 2~9 kOe, followed by a sharp moment jump at around 10 kOe that corresponds to a breakin…
A systematic ab-initio study within the framework of the local-spin-density approximation including spin-orbit coupling and an orbital-polarization term is performed for the spin and orbital moments and for the X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra in hcp Co, in a Pt supported and a free standing Co monolay…
Collision processes between two gold clusters are investigated using classical molecular dynamics in combination with embedded atom (EA) potentials, after checking the reliability of EA results by contrasting them with first principles calculations. The Au projectiles considered are both single atoms (N=1) and cluster…
We have performed a two-color time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) study of a ferromagnetic InMnAs/GaSb heterostructure. We observed ultrafast photo-induced changes in the MOKE signal induced by a large density of spin-polarized transient carriers created only within the InMnAs layer using intense 140 fs m…
We report the modifications of the microscopic dynamics of a colloidal glass submitted to shear. We use multispeckle diffusing wave spectroscopy to monitor the evolution of the spontaneous slow relaxation processes after the samples have been submitted to various straining. We show that high shear rejuvenates the syst…
The present investigation examines the relationship between structural order, diffusivity anomalies, and density anomalies in liquid silica by means of molecular dynamics simulations. We use previously defined orientational and translational order parameters to quantify local structural order in atomic configurations.…
Molecular dynamics computer simulations are performed to study the structure and dynamical behavior of chloride and associated cations at the interfaces between aqueous solutions and portlandite (Ca(OH) 2 ), Friedel's salt ([Ca 2 Al(OH) 6 ]Cl·2H 2 O), tobermorite (Ca 5 Si 6 O 16 (OH) 2 ), and ettringite (Ca 6 [Al(OH)…
We present a method for fabricating anchored polymers with a gradual variation of grafting densities on solid substrates. The technique for generating such structures comprises (i) formation of a molecular gradient of polymerization initiator on the solid substrate and (ii) polymerization from the substrate-bound init…
Abstract The effect of the thermal history on the properties of welded high density polyethylene is studied. The lamellar microstructure observed in the weld is different from that in the bulk slow cooled material. The weld has lower crystallinity and smaller lamellar size, both of which change with annealing. The dif…
