Enthalpy recovery measurement was used to study the physical aging behavior of a polystyrene. The aging experiments at temperatures (TA) near Tg were conducted with aging times (tA) ranging from several minutes to several days. The recovered enthalpy, ΔH(tA, TA), increased with tA, and then a plateau value of ΔHplate…

Abstract A2M3O12 materials (A = Al, Sc, Fe, In, Ga, Y; M = Mo, W) were synthesized using the non‐hydrolytic sol‐gel process. In contrast to previous studies, in which amorphous materials were recovered that required heating to 500–700 °C to induce crystallization, several compounds could be crystallized in a temperatu…

The majority of currently available methods of graphene production have certain drawbacks limiting its scaling. Unlike the others, liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite is a promising technique for high-yield graphene production. In this work, we present our results on one- to four-layer graphene production using vario…

Based on the first-principles calculations, we have investigated in detail the bandgap opening of silicene nanomeshes. Different to the mechanism of bandgap opening induced by the sublattice equivalence breaking, the method of degenerate perturbation through breaking the bond symmetry could split the π-like bands in t…

Metamaterial cloaks control the propagation of waves to make an object invisible or insensible. To manipulate elastic waves in space, a metamaterial cloak is typically embedded in a base system that includes or surrounds a target object. The embedding is undesirable because it structurally weakens or permanently alter…
