Abstract Dynamic mechanical results are reported for segmental relaxation of monodisperse polystyrenes (PSs) with molecular weights of 0.7, 3, 18, and 104 kg/mol and bidisperse PSs created from blending pairs of these materials. The data for the monodisperse polymers confirm previous findings; namely, there is an incr…

The intensity dependence of optical nonlinearity in a nematic liquid crystal doped with an azo-dye is investigated. The reorientational part of the nonlinearity changes from self-defocusing to self-focusing character while the intensity passes through the saturation value of trans-cis photoisomerization. This observat…

In this paper, the mechanism of plasma-charging damage (PCD) of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors as well as possible protection schemes are discussed. A range of test structures with different antennas simulating interconnect layout variations have been used to investigate the mechanism of PCD of MIM capacitors.…

Vancomycin, the last line of defense antibiotic, depends upon the attachment of the carbohydrate vancosamine to an aglycone skeleton for antibacterial activity. Vancomycin is a naturally occurring secondary metabolite that can be produced by bacterial fermentation. To combat emerging resistance, it has been proposed t…

The ${\mathrm{LaMn}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{x}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ series has been studied by means of x-ray absorption spectroscopy at both Mn and Ga $K$ edges. A homovalent substitution between ${\mathrm{Mn}}^{3+}$ and ${\mathrm{Ga}}^{3+}$ can be deduced from the x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) s…

Abstract Aiming to develop a high‐performance fiber‐reinforced rubber from styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), we applied a special technique using electron‐beam (EB)‐irradiation‐induced graft polymerization to ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight‐polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. The molecular interaction between the grafted UHMWPE fi…

In this work, a novel route to synthesize polymer/metal composite nanospheres has been proposed. This method combines the advantages that the polymer chains collapse and entangle in the presence of compressed CO(2), which acts as antisolvent, and the metal nanoparticles and polymers can be precipitated simultaneously…

Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy were performed on B2O3 glass compressed to 57 GPa at 273 K. Upon compression the sound velocities increase smoothly and the boroxol ring Raman mode vanishes by 11 GPa. Upon decompression the sound velocities follow a different path and at 3 GPa a discontinuity of 3 km/s in V(p) and 2 k…

Charge state-resolved time-of-flight spectra were collected for 2.0 keV 23Na+ scattered from Au nanoclusters deposited on TiO2(110). The neutral fraction of Na scattered from metallic Au is low ( approximately 3%), but it is surprisingly high (up to 50%) for small clusters. The results demonstrate that alkali ions cou…
