Bismuth‐niobate‐based ceramic materials are of interest for embedded elements such as capacitors and filters because they exhibit high relative dielectric permittivities and tend to be processible at temperatures in the 1000°–1200°C range. As part of ongoing studies of phase equilibria and structure–property relations…

Abstract In a topologically constraining environment the size of a flexible nonconcatenated ring polymer (macrocycles) and its dynamics are known to differ from that of linear polymers. Hence, the diffusion coefficient of ring polymers can be expected to be different from linear chains. We present here scaling argumen…

Abstract Chain configuration influences phase behavior of blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) of different tactic configurations (syndiotacticity, isotacticity, or atacticity) with poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA). Blends system of sPMMA/PLLA is immiscible with an asymmetry‐shaped UCST at ∼250 °C. The phase behavio…

Abstract Thermal management in ICs becomes essential as integration density and total power consumption increase. The use of microchannels in high power density electronics cooling is a well‐known technique for heat transfer. In this work we developed Cu‐filled macroporous Si channels with a Cu‐filled cavity underneat…

It is important for a controlled release system to determine whether nanoparticles can penetrate cell membranes and deliver protein into the nuclear or cytosolic compartments of cells, and thus function as carriers. Here, we prepared different functionalized mesoporous magnetic hollow nanoparticles (MMHs) and chose bo…

The exact mechanism of creep resistance enhancement due to yttrium (Y) doping in α‐alumina is still subject to speculation, although it is known that dopants segregate strongly to grain boundaries. The current work applies atomistic simulation techniques to the study of segregation to a reasonable number of interfaces…

We present a detailed systematic study of the synthesis and ability of fluorinated 2-phenyl-2-oxazolines to undergo polymerization. The synthesis of these compounds is based on a two-step procedure that gives the desired 2-oxazolines in moderate-to-good yields. All the compounds were fully characterized by IR and NMR…

A facile method is proposed for the room-temperature synthesis of flowerlike gold nanostructures (AuNFs) with a size of 50−115 nm by reducing HAuCl 4 with ascorbic acid (AA) in the presence of chitosan. It was found that the concentration of chitosan controlled the size, while that of AA influenced the morphology of a…

The intermediate scattering function (ISF) is measured for a colloidal hard-sphere glass as functions of the scattering vector and waiting time. For scattering vectors near the structure factor peak, we show that the ISF and the stretching index, defined at the crossover time between the fast and slow processes, depen…
