The simple nickel(II) acetate/H(3)L system (H(3)L = 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis[4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-azabut-3-enyl]-1,3-imidazolidine) presents an unusually complicated reactivity scheme, which strongly depends on the Ni(OAc)(2)/H(3)L molar ratio and on the pH of the medium. Thus, in addition to the formerly reported…

We present experimental results quantifying the dewetting behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) melt on polymer brushes of polystyrene (PS) molecules. Our studies indicate contact angles which display a brush molecular weight dependence similar to that expected for autophobic dewetting situation. We use strong…

Abstract Polarized Raman microspectroscopy has been used to study oriented‐skin layers induced in injection‐molded isotactic polypropylene (iPP) parts. A method based on the intensity sensitivity of several Raman bands to laser light polarization was employed to estimate the degree of molecular orientation in iPP. The…

In this paper, we propose a number of resonant metamaterial-based approaches to enhance the power transmission through sub-wavelength apertures. The extraordinary transmission beyond the diffraction limit is usually obtained using setups that rely on covers supporting proper surface plasmon polaritons or leaky waves.…

Water droplets can jump during vapor condensation on solid benzene near its melting point. This phenomenon, which can be viewed as a kind of micro scale steam engine, is studied experimentally and numerically. The latent heat of condensation transferred at the drop three phase contact line melts the substrate during a…

By using the first-principles DFT calculations, we design a novel hydrogen storage material, Li(12)Si(60)H(60) composite, and validate its geometric stability. It is found that the adsorbed Li atoms do not cluster on the Si(60)H(60) fullerene unlike other metals such as Ti, owing to the relatively low Li-Li binding en…
