A functionalized high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with maleic anhydride (MAH) was prepared using a reactive extruding method. This copolymer was used as a compatibilizer of blends of polyamide 6 (PA6) and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Morphologies were examined by a scanning electron microscope. It…
A new type of hybrid material of clay with poly (butyl acrylate) (PBA) has been prepared successfully using intercalation-polymerization process. The structure of the composite was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Thermogravimetric…
This work focuses on a new mathematical framework to model the process of thermal oxidation in silicon. The mathematical model is derived from the fundamental conservation equations of mechanics. The mass balance law provides the description of the oxidant transport and the Si–SiO2 interface motion, and momentum balan…
A detailed study was performed on unirradiated low- and high-density polyethylene (LDPE and HDPE) films as well as irradiated films with different types of radiation such as 60Co γ rays, thermal and fast neutrons, and electron beam irradiation. The structural changes of PE films were characterized by Fourier transform…
The phase transformations involved in Na 2 SO 4 (Na 2 SO 4 10H 2 O as starting material) and predried Na 2 SO 4 in a dynamic thermal process of heating from 30 to 500 °C and then cooling down to 30 °C, with a heating/cooling rate of 2 °C min -1 in two consecutive thermal cycles, were monitored at 1 °C intervals by the…
A theoretical model and computations of the I-V characteristics of long carbon nanotubes in a strong axial dc field at room temperature is presented. Negative differential conductivity is predicted. It is shown that |dI/dV| for metal carbon nanotubes in the region of the negative differential conductivity significantl…
Epitaxial (Pb0.90La0.07)(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 (PLZT) films, 1.4 μm in thickness, have been transferred from their (100) MgO growth substrates to stainless-steel receptor substrates. The films on their MgO growth substrates were first attached to 25 μm stainless-steel shims using a transient-liquid-phase Pd–In bonding process…
Nonbonded and chemically bonded organic–inorganic composite materials, ABS/SiO2 and ABSSi(OCH3)3/SiO2, were prepared by the sol-gel processing of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of ABS and trimethoxysilyl functionalized ABS, ABSSi(OCH3)3, under the catalization of NH4F. The ABSSi(OCH3)3 was obtained by oxi…
Oxygen isotope exchange results in a transition of SrTiO3 from quantum paraelectric to quantum ferroelectric. In the vicinity of the composition for the quantum limit, partially isotope-exchanged SrTiO3 shows a high dielectric constant ∼172 000, whereas unexchanged or fully exchanged SrTiO3 shows lower values. The com…
The reactions of two cellulosic materials (an industrial cellulosic by-product from a Kraft pulp mill facility and a reference material) with three coupling agents, used to improve compatibility between cellulosic reinforcements and thermoplastic matrices, were studied by diffuse reflectance Fourier-transform infrared…
Plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy of ZnO epilayers on MgAl2O4(111) substrates is described. Acid mixed by H2SO4 and H3PO4 was used for the substrate etching, which provides atomically flat surfaces with a regular terrace array. The influence of the substrate on lateral growth and coalescence of ZnO islands during…
The synthesis of single-wall carbon nanotubes by Nd:YAG laser vaporization of a graphite/(Ni, Co) target is investigated by laser-induced luminescence imaging and spectroscopy of Co atoms, C2 and C3 molecules, and clusters at 1000 °C in flowing 500 Torr Ar. These laser-induced emission images under typical synthesis c…
We report the temperature and field dependence of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in fully strained tetragonal thin films of the colossal magnetoresistance manganite La0.7Ca0.3MnO3. The behavior of the AMR is very different from that found in conventional metallic alloys. Its magnitude is peaked near the Curie tem…
Non-Brownian fibers commonly flocculate in flowing suspensions. A particle level simulation technique modeling fibers as chains of rods connected by hinges is developed to probe flocculation. Simulations show that flocculation can be induced solely by interfiber friction-attractive forces between fibers are not necess…
We are reporting an unexpected metal insulator transition at the ferromagnetic phase-transition temperature for thin films of La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 (<50 nm), grown on a (100) face of SrTiO3 substrate. For the thicker films (>50 nm), similar to the single crystal, no such transition is observed below TC. Additio…
We use results derived in the framework of the replica approach to study the liquid-glass thermodynamic transition. The main results are derived without using replicas and applied to the study of the Lennard-Jones binary mixture introduced by Kob and Andersen. We find that there is a phase transition due to the entrop…
We report a Raman spectroscopy investigation of electrochemically self-assembled quasiperiodic arrays of CdS quantum dots with characteristic feature size of 10 nm. The dots were synthesized using electrochemical deposition of CdS into a porous anodized alumina film. Polarization-dependent Raman scattering study over…
The surface phonon dispersion curves of commensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(111) and incommensurate Xe monolayers on Cu(001) surfaces have been measured using He atom scattering (HAS) time of flight (TOF) spectroscopy. The TOF spectra are interpreted by combining quantum scattering calculations with the dynamical matrix…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the swelling of randomly end-cross-linked polymer networks in good solvent conditions. We find that the equilibrium degree of swelling saturates at Q(eq) approximately N(3/5)(e) for mean strand lengths &Nmacr;(s) exceeding the melt entanglement length N(e). The internal s…
The measurement of alloying core-level binding energy (CLBE) shifts has been used to give a precise meaning to the fundamental concept of charge transfer. Here, ab-initio density-functional calculations for the intermetallic compound MgAu are used to investigate models which try to make a connection between the core l…
